World War Teens

Chapter Four - Silence is key

Gabriel came awake on a operation table in a pure black room. His head was still spinning and he was still a bit drowsey. He look to his right and saw Shadow standing over him...sharpening a knife! Gabriel jumped at the sight and Shadow look at him and smiled. "Don't worry kid. I'm not going to hurt you." Shadow put the knife down and picked up a scapal. "So what's with that?" Gabriel narrowed his eyes at the scapal. "Oh this thing?... I'm going to cut you with it," Shadow smiled at him. Gabriel eyes flew open. Just when he was about to make a run for it, another shot went off. Once again, Gabriel was out cold.

**************************************************

Gabriel woke up again in a diffrent room. He was on a king sized mattress and everything in the room was black and outlined with silver. It was so dark in the room that it was completly amazing that he could make out any details. "So you are awake. How are you feeling?" Gabriel look over to the other side of the room and saw Shadow sitting down on a black comforter. Gabriel face went instantly red with fury. "I feel like choking the life out of you! Why did you have to tranq me?" Shadow grin at him. "You panicked," "I didn't panick the first time." "But you made me panick with all your question. I had to shoot someone." Gabriel bald his hands into a fist on the bed. As he was about to get out of the bed, he realizes that he was missing his clothes. That's when he started to freak out worse. "Why am I in a bed with no clothes on? Oh no! You violated me didn't you!? You perverted son of a..." "Does it feel like I violated you?" Gabriel closed his mouth and thought. Nothing felt over stretch or diffrent. Well he had a few small cuts all over, but other than that he felt fine. "No... Sorry, I freak." "And this is why I shot you." Shadow pulled a book from under the chair and started to read. "So what did you do to me?"

"I've made you better. Now if you are done being naked in my bed, put these on." Gabriel caught the clothes that were very smooth at the touch and stretchable. "Those are extremely important. You must wear them every day until your body adjust. "Adjust to what?" "The knew you." Shadow turn his back and Gabriel quickly changed into his outfit. They felt very light. Almost as if he wasn't wearing anything at all. The entire atire was black and in a way stylish. After a moment passed he felt a small shock from the suit. After that he felt a few more. The shock didn't hurt, but it tickle a little. "Oh and what you are wearing is not just cloth. It's tech kid. With some cool functions. The shocks you feel are actually helping your body to recover from the cuts. Sooner or later, the cuts will be gone."

"That's cool." Gabriel said. "What else can this thing do?" "We will have to discuss that tomorrow. We leave tomorrow and I, unlike you, have to sleep. But you are not off the hook. You must be back here in a hour. Oh an here is your ID card. We use these things to do everything around here." Gabriel took the card which had a picture of him and his division number and rank. "What do you expect me to get done in a hour?" "Oh I dunno. But, make sure that one of those things is to get laid. That's an order. I can't have you being horny tomorrow." "What!" "You. Go. Get. Laid. Now. That is an order." Shadow said. Gabriel was about to interject but Shadow cut him off. "Oh and wear these all the time. You will regret it if you don't," Shadow said handing him the shades. After gabriel put them on, Shadow quickly carried him to the hallway and closed his door.

"So are you Gabriel," said a tall red headed woman at the desk. Gabe was now in the S-Wing, which he really wish he wasn't. He had values that he would like to keep and throwing away his virginity prematurly wasn't one of them. But, Shadow gave him a order to do so and he didn't feel like getting shot again. "Yes, I am." The woman at the desk grin at Gabe expression of distaste of his surroundings. "I'm guessing you don't want to be here right now." "Not really, but i also don't want to be a practice target either. I thought working for the infamous Shadow would be thrilling, but so far it's a pain in the arse." The woman chuckle, which to Gabe, sounded like a melodic tune. "Well I assure you that Shadow isn't as bad as you think. He's actually a sweetheart."

"Ma'am, were you drunk when you met him?" Gabe didn't see anything pleasant about Shadow. So far Shadow has been nothing, but an ass.

The woman look down at her clipboard with a frown. "Actually...I was.'' Thw woman stood up and motioned for Gabe to follow her down the hallway. "A year ago, I lost my fionce in this war. I was so emotionally broke down that I started drinking to try and ease my nerve." Gabe felt a bit of pain for the woman, but also he was confuse on why she was telling him this. "I'm sorry," Gabe said sincerly. The woman smile and continued her story. "One day I was so drunk I couldn't hardly stand. Unfortunately for me I was over by the new recruit housing unit. One of the newbies found me in the hallway and got a few of his buddies to carry me to his room and..." The woman choke on her own words, but she didn't have to say them because Gabe already knew where this story was heading. "Once they got me down the hallway Shadow showed up." A smile return to the woman's face. "After giving them a beating, Shadow sent them to the holding cell to wait for further punishment. Shadow, then carried me to his room and laid me down on his bed. At first I thought he was going to do the same thing the others boys were going to. I was wrong. He gave me a bath, water to drink, and clean clothes to wear."

"Wait, Shadow gave you a bath and you didn't object to it?" It's not often a woman would let a man she didn't know do such things. The woman stop in the middle of the hallway and laughed, which caught Gabe's attention. "Well, I would elaborate on that, but I shouldn't. Let's just say I trust Shadow. Anyway...after I was all clean and dressed, he held me close in his arms in his arm chair. That one action made me cry for several hours, but Shadow didn't mind. He kept me right there and conforted me when no one else would have. He also gave me some encourging words." "And what were those?" "Don't let my love see me hurt from where he now watches. He faught for our happiness and freedom, so I will be happy for him and live my life free from too many struggles. Shadow is such a sweet man..." The woman gazed through a glass window on her right that showed an exotic garden. "You fell in love with Shadow?" "Most of us SPM's do. However Shadow is a lost cause when it comes to obtaining his love." They were finally at the end of the hall. She place her hand on a scanner and the door opened revealing a room filled with SPM's playing games, watching old movies, or just chatting in a corner. Even though Gabe has morals, the sight of some of them was enough to make his face glow red.

"Hey, guys. Shadow would like for you to entertain his subordinate for an hour!" Everyone turned their gaze toward Gabe. The look they gave him said that they could killed him with mere lust if they wanted to. "Hey guys, not that kind of entertainment. He is going to just sit here and chat or play games. Everyone please be nice and if Shadow ask, he used his hour like a pro. Got it?" Everyone gazes returned to normal friendly smiles. The tall red headed woman lean over to whisper in his ear. "Before you leave make sure you get the blond girl over by the tv to give you a hicky on your neck and shoulder for evidence and mess your hair up a little, okay?" Gabe smile at the woman. "Thank you so much Ma'am." "Just call me Sophie." The woman patted him on the shoulder and left the room.

"Hey, Gabe. I need a partner to play just dance with me. I'm trying to beat John and Tamara score and I would really appreciate if you would help me out." Gabe turn his attention to the dark haired woman in a black bikini. Her skin was pale, but it made her look remarkable. "Sure, I don't mind at all." She ran over and hug him. "Thank you soo much! By the way you can call me Darcy!"
