Love Struck

Chapter 134 - More Thoughts

Shadow's POV 3 Months Ago Afghanistan

I stared at the dead. My dead. My family.

Amy's and my son's bodies laid cold in the casket ready for shipping and I wanted to say goodbye before it was too late.

Tears rolled off my cheeks as my son stared at me in death.

Slowly I placed my hand on his chilled cheek. It was freezing. As if death himself had touched him.

I didn't know how to even start. The only thing I really could say was.

"I'm so sorry Shadow."

I lowered my head in disbelief.

"This can't be real." I stated as I felt for a pulse.

As I waited nothing came through.

"Aghhhh….ahhhhhhh….hhhhhh!" I cried as I heard someone behind me.

"I don't know what I'll do without you two!" I cried as he approached me.

Gently I felt his hand rest on my shoulder and slowly I looked back to see Ghost standing there. Immediately I pushed him away. He killed them.

Ghost wasn't surprised by my rough rejection and continued to get close.

"Get away from me!" I ordered him as he tried to take my hand.

I pushed Ghost back again and still he came nearer and nearer.

Tears poured now as he kept going on and on.

"Aghhhhh….ahhhhhh…hhhhh" I cried as I finally broke.

Ghost took me in his arms and hugged me tight as I cried into his quills.

"Just let it out." He pleaded as I cried.

I just did as he said and continued to cry letting all that use to be me out onto the fur of the man who had gotten them killed.

Shadow's POV Right After Afghanistan Victory

"RIP!"

Ghost smiled as I tore his contract in half signaling he was a free man.

I tossed the paper in the trash and moved to mine.

The signature glared at me as I remember who that use to be.

When I signed that I was someone completely different. Now look at me. What has happened since then?

I lost all my friends, my brother, my future wife, my son. I lost all my hopes and dreams and all my sanity. I lost blood and lives of those who cared. I lost everything but my will to help the middle east.

I might look stable and able to fight but inside I lost it all just no one was close enough to see it. The only person who was happened to be her. Amy Rose, but she's dead and it's all because of me.

Shadow's POV Unknown

Thoughts and memories filled my head as I tried to understand what was going happen. I think I know but I need to be sure what makes him, him.

"Are you ok?" Asked Death as he appeared in front of me.

I slowly glanced up to reply.

"I don't know."

Death chuckled and replied.

"That is a statement I haven't grown use too yet."

"What?" I asked in confusion.

"I remember when we first met. "

"I see you found your way out of the first room."

"You were scared and tried to basically fight me at my first words."

But even then you still asked the question.

"Ghost! Where is he!?"

"Do you remember my response?" Asked Death as he said.

"He's around here but unable to find his way out. If you want to live and save your friends life you must travel through both of your pasts."

I widened my eyes in shock as he continued.

"You ever hear the saying " A man who will die for nothing isn't fit to live?"

"Another thing I told you and it's a statement you both try not to be." Stated Death as things became clearer.

"You will die for nothing, both of you. Unless you find a reason to want to save each other."

Death stopped to look at me with a small smile and slowly he asked.

"Have you found that reason yet?"

I stared into his black eyes as he began to walk off.

Once again I was left in confusion of another question I wasn't prepared for. Now I ask myself.

"Have I found that reason?"

I think this is getting fun. I will say I made a complex storyline as I remembered that chapter. But it's clear to me. Have any of you figured it out yet?
