Snippet #1574969

There was a bang as lighting came down upon someone, Cyrus flinched, still lying face flat on the ground. Cyrus groaned into the cold and dirty floor, coughing once or twice, spitting out the dirt which had gone into his mouth. Slowly his eyes opened up but he was unable to see anything due to facing the floor, he looked forward just in time to see Rei get hit by Taser. "R-R-Rei!" Cyrus screamed, already tears began to flood his golden eyes. Scrambling to his feet Cyrus wasted no time in running towards Rei who was lying on the ground unconscious. It seemed forever as Cyrus ran, each step he took was heavy and pained him. Both of his arms outstretched to grab at the air, pushing more and more tears down the young boy's face. His hand clenched in the air all to close to Taser before he was pulled backwards. Cyrus clawed at the air, sobbing loudly, all he wanted to do was hit Taser. "Cyrus, stop it," the voice came from behind him and Cyrus calmed down when they were far enough away from Taser and Katie. "No! Rei!" Cyrus kicked and screamed in the grasp of Ghost, eventually releasing himself from the clone's embrace. "Cyrus!" Ghost called after him, but didn't move.

Cyrus continued to run until he tripped over and fell face flat on the floor, he looked up and sobbed, using his last remaining strength to crawl along the floor to Rei. He wasn't even paying attention to what was happening around him. Cyrus crawled on top of Rei, placing his head against his and causing the older boy's face to become wet with the tears he cried. "Please Rei..." Cyrus mumbled, wrapping his arms around the older one to protect him from any further harm. Cyrus' face was bleeding slightly and grazes covered his skin almost everywhere from where he had hit the floor many times. "Cyrus," the voice of Ghost was near them, a hand extended next to Cyrus' face with Ghost on the end of it. Cyrus looked up to the black-haired boy and blinked causing more tears to flood from his eyes and onto Rei. "Come on, we'll take Rei somewhere safe, he'll be okay I promise." Ghost said to Cyrus in a positive voice with no signs of doubt in it. Cyrus nodded, taking the hand of his clone and allowing himself to be pulled up. When Cyrus was up, Ghost moved past him and bent down, picking up the unconscious Rei in his arms and carrying him. He smiled to Cyrus who flew his arms around them both, sobbing into Ghost's shoulder.
