Another Arachna?!

Blood ran down Shade's side like a gentle waterfall. He had allowed himself to be shot by the Arachna's attack to protect Celia and Raven. His lungs forced a bloodied cough, painting his teeth red. His knees trembled and his body became cold. By the next second, he fell to the ground in a pool of blood.

"Shade!!!" Screamed Celia, scurrying to his side. "No! No! No! Why would you do such a thing?!"

"Damn it! Let's get him up and go! We've got to get out of here!" Demanded Raven.

"Wait! He'll die if we don't do something!"

By this time, Arora and Kate rushed back to their side after seeing what had happened. They too were petrified with fear, not knowing what to do.

"Was he shot in the heart? This isn't good! Kate, you need to heal him now!" Cried, Arora.

"Will you all just shut up..?" Suddenly muttered Shade weakly. "We don't have time for this..."

"Shade, are you okay?!" Questioned Celia with concern.
