Shadow Of The Day

I wish it wasn't so

A/N: So I have been slow again... I apologise. For this chapter, a trigger warning but you guys already know this story so I guess I wouldn't even need to add it.

Enjoy! Or so...

As he sat there with one injured male and one dead one, Mike had to really focus so that he could get his thoughts organized. They were alive at least with Rob. But the problem was that he knew he wouldn't get Rob out. He could try, but Kaden surely wouldn't let him go. And what if he would get only angrier? The guy had just killed someone just to show how much he didn't care. How did it turn this bad so quickly? Rob shifted and he let out a sigh. Glancing at Brandon send a set of shivers through him. The scent of blood was overpowering in the room and he had to fight nausea.

"Okay, I need to get you out", he mumbled and crawled up.

Struggling under the weight of the larger man who he managed to finally pull him up to his feet. Rob was still not speaking, only pained gasps leaving his lips, but at least he could walk leaning to the other. As Mike placed his hand on the door handle and for a second thought of what if they had locked it went through his head, but the door was open and he stepped out.

The bright light on the corridor was blinding after the dimly lit room. Rob opened his mouth to say something but only a gasp came out. Mike realized he couldn't just walk to the hospital. It wasn't possible. He needed either a car or a phone that he could call an ambulance. Because ambulance would draw attention he figured that the car would be a better solution. Feeling Rob's pant pockets he managed to find the car key.

Letting out a relieved sigh he said, "I will get you to the hospital. But you have to walk. I can't carry you", while the other kept leaning to him with his whole weight. Rob was in pain clearly but he wasn't strong enough to pick him up and carry to the car.

Stopping to take a breath he was faced by Kaden. Leaning back against the wall the guy was staring in front of him deadpan. Just for a minute, Mike had forgotten that the guy even was in the house still. Rob faltered and Mike had to lean to the wall.

"What's up?" Kaden turned to face him and the smirk curled the corner of his lip.

"He needs to go to a hospital", Mike mumbled.

"I see. But what exactly are you doing?" the other folded his arms over his chest.

Mike froze. He should have known Kaden wouldn't let him leave. He was going to get killed after all.

"Uh... I'm taking him there. Didn't seem like you cared."

"Are you learning or was that just a lucky coincidence?"

"Seriously, he needs a doctor. You can't just..." Mike gasped in disbelief.

"I can. Do you think you have any fucking choice? You should have left while you still had a chance," Kaden squared his jaw and took a step forward.

"I..."

"Yeah. Let him go."

"But..." Mike tried but Kaden pulled the knife from his pocket and flicked it open.

Slowly Mike released his grip and let Rob slump against the wall and then on the floor.

I can't. I can't just leave when he is like that.
