Always your

Chapter 6

Buck slowly awoke he could feel the cold damp snow under him which had started to melt from his ever dwindling body heat, he tried to move but could barely move due to his injuries and the cold making it hard to stay awake he manged to roll on to his back as he did he noticed the red stain that was in the snow and knew he was bleeding as he rolled on to his back he started looking up at the clear dark sky seeing all the stars in the sky hoping that someone would save him, but who would no one knew where he was or what had happened to him as he lay looking up he just wanted someone anyone to save him, as he looked round through the one eye that hadn't swelled up he saw a window with s dim light on and knew it would be the only way he would get any help.

'I'm so weak everyone would be best if I died here, no I must survive I will survive'

With what little strength he had he got to his knees looking at the window then down to the ground looking for something anything he could use to make a noise as his hands searched the snow he found a small pebble as he looked at the window he looked he could feel the dizziness coming back and knew he didn't have long as he throws the pebble at the window he starts to fall as his face hits the snow he hears the pang of the glass as the pebble bounces off it and passes out

"BUCK" screams Chris as he's awoken by the sound of something hitting his window he was dreaming of Buck as he missed him so much and with everything that had been said to him by Aaron it was giving him nightmares that he would lose Buck forever, his door flung open a shirtless Eddie stood there in just pjs bottoms

"What's up son?" he asks Chris looks at him a tears rolling down his cheeks

"I dreamt something bad happened to Buck again and that he needed us but we weren't there to help him, but then something hit the window and woke me" Chris says as he points to the window in his room

"It was just a nightmare buddy don't worry about it Buck is safe and sound, you will see him I promise, now let's get you all tucked in" Eddie says as he tucks Chris in and kisses him on his forehead

"just check the window dad please" Chris asks as he points to the window, Eddie walks over to the window to put his son at ease that there wasn't anything hiding out there, as he stares out in to the dark void of the outside world he looks out surveying the garden he doesn't see anything as he turns to tell Chris there's nothing there he catches a glimpse of something on the floor

"Stay here Chris" He says as he runs to the back door

"Is it a monster dad" Chris asks as he ducks under the covers to hide

"no don't worry its nothing scary most likely a stray dog, just stay in your bed" Eddie says as he reaches the back door laughing to himself at the thought of a monster in his garden with a smile on his face he opens the back door and turns on the rear light and as it lights up the backyard and his eyes adjust he is shocked when he sees Buck laying there the snow turning red from the blood leaving his body around him.

"Buck, no no no it can't be, what's happened?" Eddie says as he picks Buck up and rolls him on to his back he can see Buck is out cold and in bad shape, he scoops Buck up and brings him in to the house and places him on the kitchen floor so he can assess what is wrong with him he can see the bruises and cuts on his hands and arms the swelling of his eye Eddie didn't want look but he slowly lifted the wet shirt up and off and gasped out when he saw the black bruises all over his torso, as he looks at the body he doesn't notice Chris walk towards him

"Daddy what's wrong with Buck" Chris says as he walks out to see his dad with Buck on the floor not looking good

"I need you to be a big boy and get me your cover he's very cold ok" Eddie asks his son who wanders off to his room and brings him his duvet
