Shifter In Our Midst (TF2 X Shifter) (DISCONTINUED)

Chapter 5. (Pyrotechnics)

"....c-clestia?" I spoke softly. I felt a tear drop down my cheek. She hasnt sent me a letter in months! So why now? I couldn't let my mind get the better of me.  I hadn't heard from her since the event happened. I missed everything of her. Her white fur, the sunset-splashed wings, her eyes. How much I would give to see her. The noise of keys unlocking the door  disturbed the silence and Footsteps approached out of no where and muffled words. It was a male, as far as I could tell. "Shadefire? Cmon down." The Texan said. I rolled up the scroll and I knew I had to hide it. I looked around for a suitable place. The branch? No. The leaves? No. I got a little bit stressed and I looked harder. I finally found a good place. Definatly between these! They won't find it for a while. I tucked the scroll in my white camo bag behind my weapons and covered a black cloth over it to keep it hidden from sight. They won't look twice. "Cmon Shadefire! I don't got all mornin'!" The voice reminded me. "Coming!" I glided down in front of them then turned into my human form . One of the men was the Texan that knows my name and next to him, was a short figure wearing a red fireproof suit and a gas mask. "Shadefire, this is pyro. He'll be with you today." "Ok sir." I nodded. "Hey kid? Call me engineer or engi ok?". I nodded again in response as he left the room. pyro bent down to my level and mumbled something. I tilted my head, not knowing what he said. "C-can you speak?" He then nodded but then motioned me to follow. I walked with him through the hallways. When we reached the last turn, I noticed a flash of white and yellow pass me eye. What was that? I ignored my thought and continued to walk with the masked man. Once we got to a room, he opened the door and it looked like he was asking me to go in first. "Thanks pyro." I gave him a smile and walked through the doorway into what looked like a bedroom. He walked to the shelf and grabbed an inflated unicorn toy. "Aw....that's actually cute." Pyro laughed happily and clapped. In a sudden move, he picked me up and placed me on his bed. "Pyro? What are you doing?" He then sat next to me and removed his mask. A male with pale skin, olive eyes and surprisingly long, copper hair that went to the middle of his neck. "My name ain't pyro. It's pheonix sweet." He said. "Wow." I said with a shooed yet surprised tone. "My sister's name is pheonix as well." "Ha! Ya do know, ya the only one I have shown my face to besides engi." He said. "Oh really? Hey these scars..." "-are awful? Yeah. I know..." he interjected. "No. I was gonna say awesome." I suggested. "Really? Ya don't think they're ugly?" He asked. "No. Not in my culture. From where I'm from, the are a sight of power. It shows that you are tough and have survived a threatening situation." I explained. (I'm really bad at conversations.) "wow." . An awkward silence was between us until he spoke. "Hey Shadefire is it? Do...do you have any scars?" He asked, breaking the silence. "Well....yeah. But only in my wolf form."  Before he could answer, I transformed and sat down. "Yeah.nice um...I've got 2...one on my back leg and one on my wing." "Can I see them?" He asked. I then showed him the one on my left wing and he looked at it in wonder. I then turned my body around and showed him my back leg. There was a red mark in the shape of a whip. "Hey? This is a whip mark......" pheonix trailed off. "I know I got it when I was captured by the-". Before I could say another word, I covered my mouth. "...captured by the what?" He asked. "I-I can't say." My breathing became rapid and I went into a panic attack. Tears trailed down my cheek like earlier and my breath went wild.  "H-hey Shadefire??!...oh god...." I leaped into my human form and onto his lap. I let out pained whimpers. Pyro was shocked and didn't know what to do. "Sh shh. Your ok Shadefire. Your ok. Nothings here." He ran his fingers through my hair to comfort me. After about 5 minutes, there was still no change. Pyro thought to take her to medic so he could try to help. He picked the female up bridal style and ran to the infirmary. "medic! Somethings up with Shadefire!" Medic heard this and ran to the man holding the girl. "Vhat happened?!" The German yelled. "Well...I showed her my scars then she showed me her scars and she said something like I was captured by the. And then she went like this!". "Pyro. Vhat were jou thinking? Just get her on zhe table!" The man then placed me in the table and I was still in shock. "Fraü? Jou are ok. Jou are here vith medic jou are ok..." I heard his words but that didn't slow me down. After a few minutes, I passed out from the lack of breath.

Pyro's POV

Shadefire, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to, my little firefly.

Medic looked at me with a glare that could kill. "Vhy did jou even ASK HER ZHAT?!" He yelled. "I was only trying to talk to her! It was her idea!" I yelled back. "*sigh*. Just..leave zhe fraü alone for a vhile ok?". I felt like I wanted to collapse. Every part of me wanted to scream. I walked out of the room while hearing sounds of the kid whimpering. I saw engi pass me as he walked into medic's lab. I walked to my room and shut the door. I wonder what happened to the firefly. The marks look like whips. So....could it be...abuse? That's the only reason. I should tell the others, but she would get mad at me. Maybe...I can ask spy.
