Saving Marshall (Book: 1) (COMPLETED)

Chapter 6: going home

After a few days Marshall was doing a lot better with his healing recovery, he was finally able to go home, Ryder and the pups came and got Marshall, as they pulled up to lookout tower, Marshall looked to his left to see his dark side standing there with a smirk on his face, it made Marshall gulp in fear as his eyes widen before he shaked his head he didn't want anyone to notice what he saw even though he knew that they knew about his dark side he was just scared to say something at the time, he got a little scared that he was going to snap at something or someone, and lose control, "Marshall you wanna come inside for a little bit? Or do you wanna hang in your pup house?" Marshall looked at Chase who was staring at him as he was entering the lookout tower, Marshall didn't know what to say before he finally had something to say "I think I'm gonna hang in my pup house for a few hours then come inside is that alright with you guys?" Chase nodded in agreement and so did the others soon Chase and the other pups went inside the lookout tower and the door closed behind them leaving Marshall outside, Marshall sigh as he looked down, he walked to his pup house he lift his head up to look at his pup house to see that someone was already in his pup house, Marshall let out a gasp as he took a step backwards which caused him to trip on something and fall backwards rolling down the hill, Marshall let out a grunt in pain when he hit against a tree with his back, he looked up at the hill at the lookout tower to see his dark side was standing there, it had a smile on its face, it was happy that Marshall rolled down the hill and almost hurt himself again, It wanted Marshall to be hurt, to see his weak side that he has, Marshall knew that his dark side was mocking him and had a idea on what it was wanting, it made Marshall worry even more, he made a little whimper sound before he let out a growl towards his dark side, Marshall's eyes glitched when he growled towards his dark side, "AGH!" He groaned his eyes glitched to the black eyes with his pupils glowing as a red flame, black blood leaking from his sockets, Marshall used his front paws to rub his eyes to see black blood was on them, he gasped before he looked at his dark side that was on the hill, it was gone, it walked away, or even disappeared, "darn it.." Marshall would get on his paws again and started to walk to the beach to wash the blood off his paws and face, Marshall wouldn't go the normal way he walks to the beach, he didn't want adventure bay to know about his dark side, not yet, till it's time or if something happens. Marshall would take a shortcut to the beach and he was the only one who knew this shortcut. Finally Marshall made it to the beach, he looked around to make sure no one was around or near, once he saw he was alone he sticked his head into the water and his paws to get the black blood off him, he took a deep sigh as he sat there with his paws and face soaking wet, he just stared at the water, only seeing himself, he was thinking about stuff that was on his mind, the people that kidnapped him and his dark side, so much was going though his mind, suddenly he was snapped out of his thoughts and he let out a yelp sound, he turned around to see two people, it was the people who took him before, why haven't they been caught by the cops? Marshall felt weak and tired, and dizzy, he was shot with a sleeping dart, his vision started to go blur, the last thing Marshall saw was Ryder and the other pups running towards him trying to save him, before one of the person's went to grab Marshall to pick him up, Chase let out a growl and jumped at the person who grabbed Marshall, the person screamed in pain as they dropped Marshall, Marshall's head would hit the ground hard, the pain Marshall would feel once he woke up will hurt like hell, Marshall body laid there as the sleeping dart was in his leg still, Ryder and the pups ran to Marshall and ripped the dart out of Marshall's leg, Ryder would pick Marshall up in his arms, Soon a yelp was heard, they all looked at to see Chase has been shot in the shoulder with a gun, the person was leaking blood, with dog marks and flesh teared out of their body from Chase's teeth, "That's what you get for saving your little fire pup right there.." The person let out a weak chuckle as the person went to load the gun again and aimed it at Chase again, Soon Sirens were heard, cop sirens, the cops were here this time, both people broke out in laughter like the crazy people they are "You are going to jail now.." Chase spoke weaky with blood dripping from his mouth and pouring down his shoulder where he was shot at. Chase let out a laugh as all the cops from the cars got out and aimed guns at the two people, the person who shot Marshall with the sleeping dart laughed before he lashed out "His dark side is going to be EVEN STRONGER THAN BEFORE! HE WON'T BE THAT WEAK FRIENDLY PUP THAT EVERYONE KNOWS! SOON HE WILL BE A KILLER! IF HE DOESN'T LEARN HOW TO CONTROL HIS DARK SIDE, And being his friends..you will be the first ones to die by your best friend and should I say "Brother" ? the person laughed again before speaking one more time "that sleeping dart is more than just putting him to sleep, it makes his dark side stronger, like a power or energy boost" the person smirked before the two of them were put in a cop call and drove away, one of the cops wrapped up Chase's shoulder, Ryder looked at Marshall who was passed out in his arms, before all the pups spoke at once "Is Marshall going to be okay? What about his dark side? What if that person is right?" Ryder saw the fear in his pups eyes before he looked down one more time at Marshall then at the pups, "Marshall will be okay, I promise you guys, he's been okay right before right?" "But he almost died last time.." Rubble speaked as he looked at Ryder with sad puppy eyes, Ryder took a deep sigh and let it out "But that was last time! Marshall will be okay this time, and his dark side won't come out, and if it does..I'm sure Marshall will be able to control it..I hope..but let's go home guys..and get some sleep.." Ryder walked back to the lookout tower with Marshall's in his arms, as the other pups followed, soon they made it to their home, Marshall was placed in his pup house asleep, the door of his pup house closed, soon all the other pups got in their pup house and went to sleep, and so did Ryder, he went to his room to go to sleep. Few hours passed it was around 3 in the morning, Marshall woke up, he grunted lighty, his vision was a bit blur, his head was killing him, it was like a very bad headache to him, Marshall would go back to sleep he rolled over and pulled the blanket over him where it was dark and he was cuddling his stuffed animal, Marshall knew everything was going to be okay, there was nothing to worry about for now, he was only happy that he was safe, his family, his friends, were okay, he was finally home, and that's what he wanted Marshall smiled in his sleep dreaming of good memories, no nightmares or possession. Soon Marshall was woken up to a sound he heard, he turned around and saw his pup house door was open, Rocky was standing there, "Marshall! Wake up..you almost slept all day you slept through two missions..are you okay?" Marshall froze in shock when he heard he slept through two missions and almost the whole day, Marshall knew this was weird this wasn't like him, he was a early person, he knew something could be wrong with himself, but he came up with a lie for now "Y-yea I'm okay..I just woke up with a really bad headache around 3 this morning..don't worry about me Rocky I'll be okay alright?" Rocky just stayed quiet and went with Marshall's lie not knowing he was lying, "alright..well I'll be in the lookout tower if you need me, everyone else is at the beach" Rocky walked off leaving Marshall by himself again Marshall mumbled to himself, "what the hell is going on with me..? I Never sleep all day unless I hit my head really hard on something, I only remember being shot with a dart then my friends saving me again.." Marshall knew he had to figure out what was wrong with him, soon he would find out what happened to Chase and those people. Marshall closed his eyes before he opened them again to hearing a dark voice, it sounded like an evil voice "Want to keep your friends? You won't your just that weak pup who risk their lives for you, you're not the pup you think you are" the dark side of Marshall would be in front of Marshall staring at him with a smirk, it made Marshall freeze in fear not knowing what to do, the dark side was putting thoughts into Marshall's head as Marshall growled and tried to snap out of it, soon he did and he was breathing heavily, Marshall saw that he was able to control his dark side but for how long can he control it? Marshall breathed heavily and mumbled to himself, "..I-I..did it..I was able to control my dark side..this is good.." It made Marshall feel proud and happy in himself.
