Love Struck
Chapter 218 – Close To Death
Raptor's POV
"UGHHHHH!" I groaned as I landed at the bottom of the chasm.
Opening my eyes in pain and disbelief I was still alive I looked up to see the boulder had hit another boulder and it was suck.
In fear I tried to move.
"GHAAA!" I gagged as I felt my back ripping open more and more.
Blood ran down my face and body as I crawled forward hoping to get out from under this boulder.
In fear I looked up at it to see it nudging out hoping to fall down.
"OH GOD NO!" I begged as I crawled as fast as I could.
Slowly reaching the edge of the boulder I flung my legs out and inched back down onto another rock I stood on now.
Looking down at my side I saw my gun was gone.
Quickly I looked up to see it was under the boulder.
In anger I jumped for it grabbing it in my right hand.
Just as I pushed back the boulder fell.
"OH FUCK!" I screamed as it went right for my head.
The boulder landed on my quills and in pain of getting my head popped off nearly I pushed the ton boulder up with all I had.
"GET! OFF! MEEEEE!" I ordered as I pushed myself out of the boulder's grip to fly back down into the ice cold sand.
I felt it fill my back by the piles and in pain I flinched and showed my teeth in rages of agony as I heard.
"AGHHHHHHHHHH!"
Looking up I knew it was Shadow.
Quickly I picked up my gun again and began to limp toward the sound.
"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He was screaming as loud as he could. I have to hurry.
Beginning to run I turned the corner of the boulder platform we landed on to see him being attacked by animals.
"SHADOW!" I screamed as I raised my gun at the hyenas.
"BANG!"
Firing one bullet I hit the one on his leg.
It dropped dead as the others turned and let go of Shadow who was nearly gone by the looks and went for me.
In fear I aimed and fired.
"BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!"
I hit two dropping them but the last two got me jumping me down on the sand.
I screamed as my gun rolled away and one grabbed my neck as the other took my side.
"AGHHHHHH!" I screamed as the leader of the pack tore my neck open.
Shadow's POV
With blood filling my vision I panicked as Raptor was taken down by the pack of dogs.
In fear I began to back up to hit something.
Instantly looking back I widened my eyes to see my gun hidden under the sand.
Grabbing it in my hand I turned back and fired.
"BANG!"
Hitting the leader in the head who held Raptor's neck the last dog looked back at me as I pulled the trigger.
"BANG!"
I hit it in the eye killing it instantly and just as fast I fell back dropping the gun.
I was in so much pain. My body torn to nothing but quills and skin I looked at Raptor who slowly got up holding his neck to keep the blood in. He wasn't going to last long. The blood poured out between his fingers as he came to my aid.
"Shadow!" He shouted as I let out deep breaths.
Dropping to his knees he immediately went for what was left of his shirt.
Watching as he took it off he quickly came in my face and shouted.
"I need you to relax, ok!?"
Nodding in blood Raptor looked around to take my gun and flip the barrel on me.
Placing it's grip in my mouth he ordered.
"Bite down!"
In nothing but approval I bit down as hard as possible on the gun.
In fear I watched as he looked at my side.
Raptor knew it was horrible.
Looking up at me scared I knew he knew what I knew. I was going to die here.
In tears he wrapped the shirt around my side.
"AGHHHHHHH!" I screamed as I bit down on the gun.
Raptor made it as quick as he could and tied it down.
As soon as he was done I let the gun go and screamed.
"AGHHHHHHH!"
Immediately Raptor placed his hands on my face.
"I need you to calm down Shadow! We're alive, and we're getting out of here! I can't do this without you! I need you to just relax and take deep calm breaths, ok!?" He asked as I cried. Looking around it was clear we weren't getting out. It was too high to climb and we can't do it in our condition.
"Alright, come on! I'm going to find us a way out!" Stated Raptor as he pulled me up.
"NO NO! AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed as my legs broke.
Raptor instantly panicked and let me go back down as I now cried with no sound coming out from my mouth.
In fear he held me down and shouted.
"I'm sorry! I didn't know! Alright we can't move! Do you have your cell!?" He asked as I stared into his eyes.
"In my pocket!" I shouted as he gently took it.
As soon as he took it out we saw it was broken.
"FUCK!" Screamed Raptor as he tossed it into the wall of the chasm.
Quickly he went and pulled out his.
It looked fine.
In hope I watched as he tried to call for help.
"GOD DAMN IT! NO SIGNAL!" He stated in anger as I replied.
"We're gonna die!"
Raptor immediately took my shoulders and replied.
"We're not going to die! You hear me!?"
"We can't get out! My legs are broken! Your nearly about to pass out from blood loss and so am I! We're fucked!" I screamed as he began to cry.
"We're not going to die!" He tried to tell me as he cried.
"We're at the bottom of a chasm with no help and no hope! No signal and no people! Nothing but dangerous animals and sand! We're not going to make it out alive!" I stated as he broke down resting his head on my chest in tears of sadness.
Taking him by the neck I held him close as we both cried and waited knowing we were going to die.
Archer's POV 12:30pm
"I think we need to go find them." I stated in worry as Hannon nodded.
"Take Zulu and Raptor's squad and go find out where they are!" Ordered Hannon as I nodded and went for the door.
Raptor's POV
Wiping my face it was getting really god damn cold. Even with quills we were both freezing. I had to move Shadow before we turn into ice hogs.
"We have to get somewhere away from the cold Shadow! I'm going to try and move you, ok!?" I asked as he barely opened his eyes.
Nodding slightly he let me attempt to move him.
Picking him up in my arms I wasn't able to book it. I had to go slow. My back was killing me and the blood was stopping but only because I had none left really.
"Hold on Shadow!" I begged as he gripped the back of my quills.
In pain I began to head to where those hyenas came from before they attacked Shadow and I.
Finding a cave I checked to make sure it was clear before bringing him in.
"It's clear Shadow!" I stated as I lowered him down into the cave.
Shadow rested on his back along a wall and in pain I fell down next to him.
"It's ok Shadow...we're going to be fine." I stated calmly as he shut his eyes again.
Watching as he breathed I looked back out the exit to only see the chasm. It had to have been a two hundred foot drop.
In tears I took deep breaths and listened as Shadow shivered.
Looking over he was shivering all over and he was crying.
Gently I moved right next to him and wrapped my arm around his neck.
"Come...here." I begged as he quickly fell into my chest.
Carefully I wrapped my arms around his back and held him as close and as tight as possible to remain warm.
"It's going to be ok." I stated as I shivered with him.
Shadow rested his hands around my back and tightly we hugged.
"We just need to make it till morning. Then we can find a way out." I stated as we shivered.
Gripping the back of his quills I cried and laid us back hoping we could find a way to sleep. I hope to god he doesn't die on me.
