Silver (A Ninjago Maximum Ride Crossover)

Chapter 65 [BAD END] Part 4: The End

'Silver's POV'

My ribs ache as I pull myself into a sitting position, keeping one arm wrapped firmly around them. I lean against the wall, trying to regulate my breathing.

I hear footsteps, then Benjamin walks into my vision, "how do you feel, Silver?" He asks, grinning wickedly. I inhale slightly deeper than I had been, preparing to speak harshly, but am instead forced to grit my teeth together as I feel a stabbing pain in my chest.

"It seems that one of your lungs has been punctured," he pauses to think, "I though we would have more time, but it seems you will need to meet with your son as soon as possible," he turns to leave without saying another word.

I begin to take a deep breath, and stop almost immediately after starting. Breathing after that gets gradually harder, until it's reduced to short, shallow gasps.

I decide that I currently have two options. One, die before the guards come to get me to see Kadence. Two, have my sons face be the last thing I see before I die. I choose the latter, knowing that I can't leave my son without seeing him one last time.

As I think this, my vision goes hazy, and my breaths become even shallower, if that's possible. I feel my head fall forward, and there's nothing I can do to stop it. My eyelids fall closed, and I wonder if they will ever open again.

'Kadence's POV'

"Where are my parents?!" I scream as Benjamin nears my cell door. I furrow my eyebrows and glare at him, a look that I learned from watching my mom.

His lips move, and I watch them carefully. I can pick out the words "you, see, mother, soon" but nothing more. He unlocks the door and steps inside. He grabs my chin and turns my head from side to side, smiling for a reason I don't understand.

As he tries to take his hand away, I growl and sink my teeth into it. I bite down until my teeth hit something hard. He's probably screaming, but I can't hear it.

My collar shocks me, and at the same time the back of his hand collides with the side of my head. I'm thrown to the floor, blood running from the sides of my mouth.

He turns his head away from me, nods, and walks out of the room. Guards grab my arms and I'm escorted to an observation room. I use the sleeve of my gown to wipe the blood from my mouth, and examine the room. There's a table, with one gun and one knife sitting on it.

It's then that I realize that I'm going to have to fight someone. And guessing from what I could read from his lips earlier, I'm going to have to fight my mom or my dad.

'Silver's POV'

I feel a shock run through my body, and I inhale a deep breath. The stabbing pain announces its presence, but breathing seems more important at the moment. When I realize that it feels like I was underwater, I understand that I was dead. I died.

I open my eyes and am on a metal table, being wheeled down hallways.

"Come now Silver, you can't die yet," I hear Benjamin say, confirming my suspicions. I can practically hear the smirk in his voice, without even having to see his face.

They wheel me into an observation room, the one I killed Khaos in yesterday. I see the gun and knives have been replaced on the table. They leave me on the table as they move to the other side of the glass.

As I try to stand from the bed, my legs give out, and I'm left laying on my stomach on the floor.

"Oh Silver, I'd hoped he would have to finish you off, but it seems Kadence will just have to watch you die instead," as he says this, Kadence is shoved into the room.

"Mom!" He cries out, running to my side. He tries to help me stand, but it's no use, there's no blood flowing to my legs.

"Kadence. . ." I breathe heavily, "the gun, get the gun," tears burn my eyes as I point to the table, and he runs to grab the gun. I'll have to be quick, or the white coats will figure out what I'm planning.

He hands me the gun, and I kiss his forehead, "I need you to be strong, okay?" He watches my lips carefully, and I start to cry.

I press the gun to his chest, where his heart sits behind his ribs, "it's only going to hurt for a second," I cry, hearing the door slide open and white coats run in. This is it, this is the only way to ensure that they won't use my son, that he won't have to live without parents.

I can't.

I can't shoot my own child.

Kadence wraps his hand around mine, and forces the trigger down, once, twice. I scream, and catch him in my arms. I press the gun to my chest, firing the last bullet into my own heart to ensure that they can't bring me back.

I hold Kadence tightly against my chest, as I feel him take his last breath. I smile peacefully, and allow the air to escape my body.

"Mommy!" Kadence smiles and jumps into my arms, Khaos is following behind him.

"Kadence," I whisper, hugging him tightly.

Khaos kisses my forehead, "it's time to go," he says, smiling gently at me. I nod and let Kadence down, he stands between Khaos and I and takes one of each of our hands.

We walk, hand in hand, toward the bright light in front of us. The light gently envelopes me, and I drift away peacefully. . .

~~~

So... That hurt. I cried while writing this chapter, just so everyone knows.

The first chapter of the good end will be out soon.
