Chapter sixteen: The Haunting Past

"He's still alive." Marcellus said backing away from Chance's body.

"We need to get him back to the hanger." Jake said moving over to his friend's side.

Marcellus picked Chance up military style and they all went back to the hanger.

-In the Hanger-

Marcellus placed Chance on a steel table that was in the medical area of the hanger. Jake walked over to his friend's side as Felina walked around and placed her paws on his head and shoulder. Marcellus turned around was getting things out of the cabinets that were in the medical area. He turned back around and opened Chance's shirt. He looked at the wound and saw that the bullet had hit a main artery and Chance was quickly bleeding out.

"Damn it, it hit a main artery. This is going to be hard to fix."

"Father you knew how to fix it?" Felina asked still crying.

"I hope so." He said.

Marcellus moved his paw that had a pair of medical tweezers in it. He put the tweezers down into the wound and slowly pulled out the bullet. Chance's blood squirted on his face and chest.

"Callie I need you over here." Callie moved over to Marcellus.

"Put your fingers right here." With his blooding paw her grabbed hers and placed it right where the bullet was. Marcellus turned back around to get something else.

"Why do I have to do it?" She asked.

"Because you have small paws!" Marcellus yelled. He turned back around and moved Callie's paw. He then began to fix the artery. Once fixed, he then began to stitch up the wound.

"He needs blood!" Marcellus yelled out as he stitched the last stitch. A bag of blood was handed to Jake. Jake looked over and saw Duke standing there.

"How long have you been standing there?" Jake asked him.

"For while, I heard all of you come in and have been stand here the whole time."

"BLOOD!" Marcellus yelled. Jake jumped and hand the blood bag over to him. Marcellus fixed the bag and put the needle into Chance's arm and the blood began to flow into him. Marcellus stepped away from Chance and looked at his daughter.

"He'll be okay now. He just needs to sleep." He said as Felina let out a deep sigh, Jake also let a sigh.

They all were setting around the hanger waiting for Chance to wake up. They had fixed themselves up. After the car getting t-bone they all had some small wounds. Felina had gone up to check on the babies as well as Duke. Jake looked up and saw that they had brought the babies down into the hanger. They set down the car sets and sat down.

-Many years ago-

They throw him down onto the ground. His paws were tied behind his back. They lifted him up onto his knees. He looked over and saw a young but older tom beside him. He turned his head and saw the girl that he loved in front of him. A father and son stood behind her. Chance looked up at the father and then at the son. The son looked down at him with an evil look.

"So Turner we finally have you and your girl and your little partner." Said the father

"What are going to do kill us all?" said Chance. His master looked over at him and then at his daughter.

"No just her." Said the Son as her shot the girl in the head.

"NO!" Yelled Chance's master.

"IIihya." Chance said in a low voice. He looked at the dead girl in front of him and he could feel his blood boil. He looked up at the two with very hateful evil eyes.

"What's wrong did we kill your little love." Said the son.

"I will make you pay for what you did Ivan." Chance said with hate.

"Oh really." Ivan held up the gun and pointed at Chance's head.

Just then an arrow knocked the gun out of Ivan's paw. Ivan and his father looked up and saw on a hill above them were two kats. A middle aged tom and a young girl about Chance's age. The tom had a bow in his paw.

"Yao Fei!"Said the father.

"Get them!" Said Ivan to the kats around them. They toms ran after the tom and the young she-kat. Chance looked over at his master and nodded his head. He slipped the rope ties off of his paws and lunged at Ivan and knocked the young tom to the ground. He master also slipped the ropes off and lunged toward the father.

Chance and Ivan fought until Ivan kicked Chance off of him and his father also knocked Chance's master off of him. Ivan went for the gun.

"Flint!" Chance yelled at his master.

Flint grabbed Ivan and hit the young tom stopped him from get the gun. Flint punched Ivan and was about to do it again went he heard a click beside his head. Flint looked over and saw Edward Ivan's father. He was holding a gun to Flint's head.

"Goodbye Flint." Edward was about to pull the trigger. Flint heard a gunshot and looked at Edward. Flint watched as Edward's arm fell to his side. Edward fell to his knees and then fell to the ground. Ivan looked over and saw Chance with a gun.

"You basterd!" Ivan yelled. Flint got off of Ivan and looked down at the boy.

"Now you and your father cannot crash Megakat City's economy by bring down commercial airlines." Flint said. Flint held up the gun that Ivan was trying to get and was about to shot him when…

"Don't." Flint looked over toward Chance.

"I'll do it." Chance said as he walked over to the young tom that was a few years older than him.

Chance held up the gun and was about to pull the trigger when Yao Fei and his daughter ran over to them.

"Do not shot him." Yao Fei said.

"Why?" Chance asked still looking at Ivan.

"Because you have took a lift already and now you will be like them if you kill him."

"He killed Ilihiya!" Chance yelled.

"Yes but now you can kill him and be lost in your revenge." Chance looked over toward Yao Fei.

"Papa is right if you do this then you will be lost. Revenge is like the woods if you go off the path then you are lost for good."

"Mai is right." Chance looked over toward Flint then back at Ivan.

"Fine." Chance said lowering the gun.

"I will get you for killing him." Ivan threatened Chance. Chance watched as Ivan ran off into the woods.

"He will be back to get me and if that happens, it's on your head Yao Fei." Chance said while turning and walking away from his three masters.

The next time that he saw his masters was when they were at his wedding. They were setting in the few rows back from the front. Chance smiled at them and could not believe that they had come to watch him get married.

Jake was about to ask Marcellus how long he would think that Chance would be out for. When Chance opened his eyes slowly and sat up. Felina ran over to him and kissed him one the lips.

"What am I doing here?" Chance asked looking at Felina.

"We brought you here, father saved your life." Felina told him.

"No I should be dead." Chance said looking down at his chest.

"If want, I can kill you." Marcellus said. Chance moved to get off of the table but was stopped by his father.

"No you need to stay on the table."

"I'm fine."Chance said as he got off of the table and almost fell to the ground but he caught himself.

"Fine huh." Felina said looking at him. Chance looked at her and smiled. He heard a small sound and looked over and saw his kids. Chance smile when he saw them.

"Okay who is Ivan and why does he want you dead?" Jake asked

"And who did you kill?" Callie asked.

Chance walked over to a chair and sat down and told them what happened all those years ago. They were all shocked well almost all Marcellus just looked at him. Chance looked down at the ground and waited to hear what his wife and best friend had to say.

"You killed his father." Jake said looking at Chance and could not believe what he had heard.

"Yes and I would have killed him but one of my masters told me not to. I wish that I would have." Chance looked at them and then looked away.

"So now what?" Felina asked him.

"I have to find Ivan and stop him; as long as I'm alive he will always try to kill me or worse one of you to get to me." Chance said looking at Marcellus. Marcellus nodded his head and knew what Chance was telling him.

Felina and the others looked at him. They knew that he was right. Chance got up and walked over to Cristian and picked him up. Chance smiled down at his son and looked at Felina and the others.
