Love Struck

Chapter 147 – Is Death The Cause Of Death?

Ghost's POV

Raptor got Dove loaded onto one of the Humvees as his men finally managed to get the bomb off me.

"Ghost!" Shouted one of the soldiers as I turned to see he held Midnight in his arms.

"Midnight!" I shouted as she screamed.

"Daddy!"

With some happiness I took her away from the man and hugged her tightly.

"What are you doing here alone?" I asked in concern.

"I was with mommy!" Replied Midnight as I held my breath.

"Are you ok?" I asked while looking at Raptor who stared at me from the Humvee where Dove was.

"Mommy kept me safe! We were attacked by a mean man when I saw those guys beating you up!" Replied Midnight.

"Did that man hurt you?" I asked as Raptor came behind me.

"I little. But everything was ok once Shadow saved us!" Replied Midnight as Raptor and I widened our eyes in confusion.

"Shadow saved you?" I asked.

"Yeah! He beat up the bad guy and took us here to find you!" Stated Midnight in happiness.

I slowly looked at Raptor and he nodded.

"Hannon?" He started.

"What is it Raptor?" He asked in sadness.

"Is Shadow there?" Asked Raptor in concern.

Hannon took a moment but came back and replied.

"He's sound asleep in bed with Silver and Marx watching him."

Midnight didn't understand as Raptor asked.

"He didn't happen to get out before did he?"

"No why?" Asked Hannon as Raptor replied.

"I'll tell you when we get back."

"Get back safe." Replied Hannon as Raptor looked at me.

Slowly he took my shoulder and got next to my ear.

"I got a ride back to base waiting for you and her. I'm going to stay for a bit and check around."

I nodded and replied.

"What about...?!" Raptor cut me off and replied.

"They'll be behind you. They won't move her until your ready."

I nodded while patting his shoulder.

"Thanks." I stated trying to hold back my tears.

Raptor nodded and went back to the house while I turned to take Midnight back.

My body still feels broken from all the torture but what else is new?

Gently I got Midnight to the Humvee and placed her inside.

As soon as she was ready I got in next to the driver and ordered him to go.

The whole ride I would be watching Dove's Humvee from the mirror as they drove behind us.

Ten Minutes Later

I got the driver to take Midnight inside and someplace safe while I get Dove inside.

Slowly I got out of my Humvee and went to the one parked behind us.

The soldiers stared at me as I approached the door.

In tears I rested my head on the glass to stare in at her.

I gently felt one of the men place his hand on my shoulder as I cried out as quietly as I could.

In time I managed to grab the handle.

But now I couldn't open it.

My sadness rolled down the glass as the soldiers comforted me as best as they could.

As soon as I grew the guts I pulled open the door to smell her blood filling the car.

It was a wave of death coming out from the car.

I felt something break in my head the second her scent hit my nose.

Immediately my mouth shut and my eyes focused on the job at hand.

I didn't feel anything but anger, but I had to hold it in.

Carefully I grabbed the stretcher and began to pull her out.

The soldiers took her and I got next to them holding my ground on her hand.

Slowly we went for the entrance.

Dove's cold body filled mine and it sent chills down my spine as we reached the door.

The soldier in front opened it and we walked in.

Hannon stood waiting with Dom and Archer.

They stared at me and Dove as tears hit the ground.

I wanted to kill something. Anything. But I can't. Not here, not yet.

Quickly we began to take her to the research wing.

Marx quickly came out from his room and began to approach me.

Anyone could see I was breaking down. That's why Marx the second he got to me took me in his arms letting me cry as the soldiers continued to lead Dove to one of the empty rooms.

"I'm so sorry Ghost." Stated Marx as I began to ball out in depression.

Marx barely held me up as Archer and Dom began to lead me to where Marx had come from before.

We entered and the first thing I saw was Silver who was helping Shadow.

Silver immediately got up the second he saw me, to help take me towards one of the beds.

"Careful." Pleaded Marx as he sat me down as gently as possible.

The pain of both losing Dove and my body were killing me, but still...I wanted to hurt someone, anyone.

In a few seconds after I was down Marx began to clean me up and see what Dreil's men had caused me.

"Your front ribs are broken Ghost." Stated Marx as I cried in pain.

"You also have a fractured jaw. It's not bad I just need you to take a deep breath." Stated Silver as I breathed in.

"You ready?" Asked Silver as I nodded.

Silver gently placed his fingers on my jaw and turned it.

"Snap! Aghhhhh!" I screamed in pain as it snapped back into place.

Marx held me there along with Archer as Hannon came in.

"How is he?" He asked as Marx stood up.

"Just a few bruises and three broken ribs." Stated Marx.

Hannon nodded and it was clear they knew not to talk to me yet.

Hannon carefully said.

"I'm going to see Dove. I think its best you come with me Marx."

Marx nodded while patting my shoulder.

I continued to cry as Silver stood up too.

"I'm going to go help them Ghost. I'll be back in a few minutes." He stated as Archer and Dom grabbed a seat next to me.

They didn't say a word. They just rubbed my back as I cried.

Shadow's POV

I stared at Ghost.

He looked like shit. Like he just went through hell and back. And as far as I can tell...Dove didn't make it.

Why does this type of shit have to happen when I'm not able to move?

I wanted to comfort him but I don't think I can move.

"What do I do?" Asked Ghost in sadness as Archer replied.

"You just need to relax."

"Fuck you! How can I!?" Asked Ghost in anger as Archer pulled his hand away.

Immediately Ghost began to shake and Archer tried to take him.

"SMACK!"

Ghost sent his fist straight at Archer sending him onto the ground.

Ghost went to send another but Dom grabbed him from behind.

"Let me go!" Ordered Ghost as he sent his head back.

"BASH!"

Dom quickly released Ghost and fell back as I tried to turn over.

"Ghost...?" I tried to call to him as he sent another fist at Archer.

"SMACK!"

Archer's head hit the ground as Ghost went for Dom.

"Ghost...!?" I tried to Shout at him as I went to send my legs over the side of the bed.

Dom quickly rolled aside letting Ghost miss his attack.

Instantly Dom moved to the door with Archer as Ghost's back faced me.

"I don't know what to do without her!" Screamed Ghost as I planted my feet on the ground.

Hannon along with Silver and Marx came to the door to stop in shock as they stared behind Ghost.

"I don't know what to do...without her!" Cried Ghost as he fell to his knees.

With extreme care I began to walk.

I heard my body crack as I came up behind him.

"What...do I...do...!?" Ghost asked in sadness. I felt him breaking as I reached out.

Ghost's shook in sadness but stopped the second my hand touched his shoulder.

Everyone went silent as I said.

"Ghost?"

Very slowly Ghost looked back to see my red crimson eyes.

Tears filled his face as I said.

"I know...I know what it feels like."

Slowly I began to fall.

Marx and Silver took a step up to come get me but Ghost caught me in his arms.

"Shadow?!" He said in shock as he hugged me now.

"I know what it feels like Ghost. When I lost her." I stated as we held each other.

Ghost went silent as I said.

"Don't let it break you brother."

I will stop there for today. I was fixing Past Secrets. I hope it is better now. Let me know what you think and this is about to get really fast and confusing so get ready for it.
