Saving Marshall (Book: 1) (COMPLETED)

Chapter 3: Regrets of Life

Marshall was still passed out, blood leaking from his leg, blood running down his leg where he was shot at, the sound of people walking was heard, the sound of a gun being loaded was right in front of Marshall. "This is the end for me..I'm going to die.." Marshall could only talk in his head, it was pure black for him trapped in a void not being able to wake up, he started to hear someone walk right up to him a another person, it sounded like 3 people, "We won't kill him..yet..let's take him back to his family and leave him there..OR! We can use him as a trap to get his other pup friends, and his owner. Does that sound like a plan?" The other people nodded and agreed, one of them picked up Marshall and carried him over his shoulder, Marshall's body that looked lifeless was hanging over the person's shoulder, Marshall slowly opened his eyes, he tried to not make any sounds to alert the people knowing that he was alive, Marshall vision was blurred, he stared at the ground and the person's feet who was carrying him walking, Marshall mumbled to himself in his head, "D-Darn it...This is a trap..I failed my family..my parents..my friends...and R-Ryder..I failed them all...I-Im so sorry pups...this is all my fault.." Marshall's eyes tried to stay open but he was too weak and tired to even try to fight, his eyes finally closed again. Meanwhile at the LookOut Tower, the Pups and Ryder were all shocked from the recording Marshall sent them, they were all so glad that they got the recording but they were all worried about Marshall's life hearing the gunshots and yelling and hearing their friend groan in pain, all the pups ears were pinned back with fear in their eyes, "R-Ryder..what are we going to do..?" Chase finally spoke up with fear in his voice, Ryder looked at Chase and the other pups, "I...We need to save Marshall...I can't track him..because his pup tag is too broken..we were lucky we got the recording.." Ryder mumbled to himself very quietly, "Marshall..hang on we're coming to save you..I hope you're still alive.." Ryder snapped out of his thoughts by Rocky speaking, "Ryder..Will Marshall be okay when we find him..? Will he even be alive? W-what if we f-find his dead body..w-what..if we find him d-dead..what if we were too-late.." Rocky started to break into tears with his breathing being heavy, Ryder and the other pups looked at Rocky, Chase walked over to Rocky to hug him and spoke, "Rocky look at me..I'm sure Marshall is still alive, heck He's a strong pup! Sure we all know hes clumbly, but he's one of the bravest pups I've met in my life, he's strong, so don't worry Rocky..Marshall is alive..and we will find him and bring him home..that's a promise I'm willing to make and I know Marshall would do the same for us to, so let's go find him" Rocky didn't know what to say he only smiled and nodded in agreement, Chase's speech to Rocky made him feel a lot better, Rocky would stand up and stare at Ryder with a brave smile on his face, "Ryder..LETS GO SAVE OUR FRIEND!" Rocky yelled as he howled, his tail wagged, Ryder smiled and nodded, "Alright Pups..Let's go save Marshall!" Ryder pulled out his pup pad and pulled it out and pressed all the pup tags and they all glowed, but not Marshall's he didn't press Marshall's, soon all the pups would run and go down the side, they were all in their suits with their pup packs. And Ryder got on his AVT and started it, all the pups were in their vehicles right before they all drove off a voice yelled, and it was loud, they all turned around and gasped and were in shock, what they saw was the 3 people, and seeing Marshall, he looked dead..he was barely breathing, the person who had Marshall over his shoulder, threw Marshall to the ground and left him there to die, blood was pouring from Marshall's leg and nose, cuts and bruises, he groaned in pain when Marshall hit the ground, he barely moved he was in way to much pain. "M-Marshall..WHAT..did YOU do to our FRIEND?" Chase was the first to snap to see the slight of his best friend of years laying on the ground hanging on to life, soon the other pups were growling to with Chase, Ryder even snapped seeing one of his pups like this, soon the person spoke, "You see..we needed to do this to WEAK PAW PATROL PUP! You are all fools...we used your friend here as a trap and you fell right into it..and you guys call yourselves the paw patrol?" the person pulled out a gun and aimed at Marshall, Marshall's eyes opened again, his big blue eyes were bloodshot red, he whimpered as he saw what was going on, he spoke weakly, "I-Im sorry everyone...I lead..you guys into a t-trap..this is all my fault.." Ryder looked at Marshall who spoke weakly Ryder started to speak before he was cut off by the guy yelling who was aiming the gun at Marshall, "Marshall it's okay it's not your-" "ENOUGH! THIS IS YOUR FAULT AND THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN FIX IT IS BY DOING THIS!" the person had his finger on the trigger on the gun, Marshall looked at his friends, his family for one more time thinking that he would die for real this time, before he spoke weaky again, "I..Love you g-guys.." Chase snapped "DON'T TOUCH HIM MONSTER!" Jumping out of his truck, he ran at the person, and latched on to the person's arm who had the gun. It made the person fall back, screaming in fear and pain, Chase had blood all over his face and teeth, it shocked Ryder a little bit, before he grabbed his phone and started to call the cops for backup, soon The other pups ran to Marshall who was on the ground still hanging on for life, "M-Marshall..can you hear me..please be a-alive..it's me Rocky..Marshall P-Please.." Rocky started to break down in tears, crying over the pups body that was laying there bleeding out, soon Marshall opened his eyes and looked up to see Rocky crying, the other pups were crying to, "R-Rocky...G-Guys..I'm alive..but i can't stay awake..I can't fight to stay awake..it hurts.." he talked weakly, whimpered weakly, and groaned in pain, Rocky gasped seeing Marshall talk and move, before Rocky turned to Ryder and yelled at him, "RYDER! WE NEED TO RUSH MARSHALL TO THE ER OR HE WON'T MAKE IT!!" Soon Rocky and the pups and Ryder would be scar for life for what was going to happen next, "I..I..see a l-light...I hear my Parents calling my name..they want me to g-go with them.." Rocky and the other pups' hearts broke and froze, "NO NO MARSHALL YOU GOTTA STAY WITH US BUDDY! CMON I CAN'T LOSE YOU..PLEASE!!" Rocky yelled as he sobbed, so did the other pups, Marshall let out a gasp of air then they all saw his eyes rolled into the back of Marshall's head, this made everyone freak out more, "RYDER HURRY!!" Soon Ryder picked up Marshall's bloody body and got on to his ATV and darted to the hospital with Marshall's bloody body in his arms. Soon the pups followed shortly afterwards, Rocky looked at Chase, "CHASE CMON! HURRY TO THE HOSPITAL! NO TIME TO WASTE! IT'S MARSHALL HE'S DYING!' Chase lift his head up to revel tones of blood on his mouth dripping, the person who was attacked by Chase was murdered, blood everywhere, the two other people were nowhere to be seen, but that didn't matter right now, Marshall's life was on the line right now, Chase took off running full speed to the Hospital, Rocky gasped from the slight he saw, before he took off to the Hospital, Soon all the pups were at the Hospital, all of them were waiting for the news to know if Marshall made it or not, all of them were shaking, crying, having regrets in their life's about Marshall, things they could all do and done with the time they had with Marshall, Memories and Flashbacks hit all of them hard, soon they were snapped out of it when they heard a door close, they all turned their heads to see a doctor covered in blood, which was Marshall's blood, the doctor took a deep breathe before he spoke, "Marshall is alive He's very lucky pup He's stable for now but right now no visitors for now till I see how Marshall is doing, I will give a call in a few days for now you guys should go home and relax, I promise Marshall is in good hands, good care" The doctor smiled, Ryder had the biggest smile on his face and so did the pups, the scared feeling left their body, soon they all left the Hosptial, they didn't care about anything else that's happened they were only happy to know that Marshall lived and he's alive, they all loved Marshall so much and they hope Marshall knows how much he's loved and a big brother to most of them, soon the pups got home and all choice to take a nap after all of that, Rocky got in his pup house and got comfy and laid down, he looked at the picture he had of him and Marshall having a good time one day, he smiled and made his eyes have tears in them, before he laid his head down to go to sleep, he smiled in his sleep knowing that his friend was going to be okay.
