Chapter 43

Leo POV

The following morning all of us were up and sitting in the kitchen eating breakfast, all except Silent. He was up in his room doing whatever Silent does when were in moments like this. I'll go up there and get him in a few, but right now this bowl of cereal is my priority.

"Where's my dad?" Zack asked looking up from his breakfast. He frowned looking around the room.

"He's upstairs" Sound replied sitting down at the table sipping his orange juice, having inhaled his food already. "I Think he's working out or something" I stopped eating and set my spoon down.

"He's what?" I asked my voice almost dripping with venom and rage. Ian's soon dropped from his hand and clattered on the floor. Bright and Talia's eyes were wide with panic and Zack seemed confused. I had to move quickly.

"Ian give me a hand with him, girls fill up the sink with ice water." Chairs slid backwards as everyone sprang into action. Little did people know about Silent is that at times like this he feels weak. Like he couldn't help anyone so he tries to get how to say stronger. But in the end he usually collapses from exhaustion

So Ian and I usually dunk his head underwater until he decides he's calmed down. He squirms a bit more than we would like but well he has his moments.

Anyways with a hard kick I literally knocked the door off its hinges and across the room hitting the wall hard. It shattered like in one of those movies. Silent was on the floor repeatedly doing push-ups his black shirt tied around his forehead and he was dripping in sweat.

"Silent what are you doing?" I crossed my arms but he didn't even risk a breath to answer me. I walked forward and kicked one of his arms hard and he smacked down onto the floor banging his nose.

"Grab him!" I ordered grabbing Silent's upper arm. Ian got the other one and between the both of us we managed to yank him down the stairs and into the kitchen where the girls had filled the sink with water and ice.

"Is he ok?" Silent's mom asked. None of us bothered to answer her instead we slammed Silent's back into the counter and forced his head back under the water. He immediately kicked and thrashed splashing us badly.

"Can he breathe?" Austin asked after a minute or so. Bright shook her head arms crossed.

"Probably not, in another minute or so he'll remember he can breathe under water and stop thrashing" she explained glancing in his direction. Like she said a minute later Silent suddenly stopped thrashing and relaxed calmly under the water. We released his arms and he pulled himself out of the water.

"What...The...Hell?" He hissed yanking his wet shirt from off his forehead throwing it at Ian who of course didn't see it coming and got hit. Ian glared in his direction his gaze a bit to the right.

"You flipped out again" Talia said raising her head up to meet Silent's deathly glare. She could stare him down and would. There glares held and faced off to see who would look away first. In the end Lucas snapped his fingers in front of their faces.

"You need to calm down" Sound said coolly.

"I'm Fine" Silent snapped his fists clenched. I sighed and shook my head. He would have this pissed off until we got Shadow back. He turned away from us and went up the stairs. I shook my head.

"AND WHERE THE HELL IS MY DOOR" Aw Shit.


Shadow POV

These damn assholes. I swear I'm going to kill them both. They were pushing me threw the lines at the air port heading up towards an exit for a plane. Apparently they were going to shove me in the cargo hold in a crate, but after trying to escape and biting one of them they decided it would be better if I sat with them.

"Now don't try any more of your bullshit" The guard snapped. I rolled my eyes.

"What am I suppose to fly away? With this shit over my wings?" I snapped back at him. They bound my wings with something like tar. I couldn't move them and I wasn't even sure if they were there anymore. I just felt this big cold blob on my back. It was horrible.

The only thing it made worse was that we would be flying on a plane and it anything happened I was honestly screwed. This utterly terrified me. But with this stupid shock collar on me I wasn't going anywhere. As they pushed me towards the plane entrance I began to really drag my feet and panic.

"Come on move!" The Guard snapped shoving me forward. This was my only chance I was just out of there reach. Taking off in a dead sprint I went off curving to the right to circle behind them. I slammed my way threw people towards the only exit I could see at the moment.

"Hey! Get back here!" I slid threw the exit and took off in a dead sprint as fast as I could out of the air port and down the block. I could here the two guards following behind me. They were erasers so I knew they could keep up but not forever.

As I ran I struggled to move my wings under the binding. I needed to fly away that would be my only escape. I could fight them in the air but not on the ground. Not on my own, they were a new advanced version.

Don't stop, keep going. You can loose them I repeated this over and over in my head as the burning in my lungs increased with every step. I couldn't breathe at all and my pace was starting to slow.

"You worthless freak!" One of them screamed and suddenly a burst of electricity shot threw me. My steps fumbled and my entire body shook. None of my steps were as solid as I would have liked them to be, but I made it to a large field and was able to loose them in there.

The minute I couldn't hear them anymore I collapsed onto the ground gasping for a breath. I didn't have time to rest I needed to get this crap off my wings and get moving. Forcing myself to sit up I ripped off my hoodie leaving me in a light blue tank top. I reached back and instantly felt the hardened tar like material.

All in all it took me about 5 minutes to get that crap off my wings and another 10 to get it off my hands. I stretched my wings out as far as possible; some binding was still on my wings but I could fly.

"There she is!" Oh shit!
