Dr. Green tiptoed into the house. He still had a spare key, in his hands, the key to Lucas's house. He was gonna search everywhere just to find something to help her.
He opened the door and entered the lab, there were cobwebs everywhere. It was covered with dust as well.
He coughed and covered his face with a small hanky. Tying it around his nose.
The room was dark so he flicked the light on. He exhaled, just the way he left them, he was the last to leave the lab. After he had gotten everything he needed for the final dose.
He had left. And still untouched, he felt he was back there again, just before his eyes he saw himself from two months ago, running around the lab, getting the liquid. And fixing the injection. He made a mistake and redo it again.
He stopped and thought, that was when the thought of saving her came.
He smiled at the memories. And entered the room fully. He had to beg
Dr. Green stood up from the ground, wiping the dust off his jeans. The signs were happening already, she was gonna die and her chances of being human again would be wiped out entirely. If they didn't do the sacrifice of death.This had only become more difficult for them. He had to go meet her, but first he had to mix a chemical, which could help reduce the pains she would be feeling, though it would help just a little, it was better than not doing anything at her.He began stirring. Fishing out everything he would need for the operation. He brought out everything dropping them on the table.And began mixing the chemicals.He hurried, since Dixon would be waiting for him. And he doesn’t want him to wait that long for him and he d
Dixon had left the hospital pretty late, that’s at the early hours of the morning. Feeling so weak and tired and all he need was a good bath and just try sleeping if it's gonna work.Albert didn't say anything after the doctor left, Linda cried and fainted.Waking up, she fainted again and that was how it went until he had lost count and she had to be admitted to the hospital.The family she had been trying so hard to fix the falling in front of her eyes.He didn't want to leave but the thought of Maeve kept her making him go bad home.Just to see her.“You’re back.”“Yeah, is she awake, is there any sign?”Dr. Green shook his head.“She’s not, there hasn't been any sign at all.”&n
AwakeWhile Eamon slept in his room, he slept beside her that night. Holding her tightly to himself as if she was gonna disappear from his sight.Is it that obvious of her predicament. That she isn't human, her scars and skin and her hair. He didn't know what to say it Eamon when he asked that question, he didn't want to lie to him.He said he would tell him everything after she's awake, because now he isn't himself.The night went by slowly, he had slept halfway through the night. Singing the song he wrote for her. With her hands clasped in his. And her head on his shoulders. He had to do something, what is she could hear him. What if she was listening.
A haggard looking woman came out down from the bus, she was tall and slim. Her nails were long and unkempt, her skin had gone tanned. Her hair, had probably hadn't seen anything like water for a long time. She had grew wrinkles in her face. She looked so dead though she was still living, upon reaching her destination. Over her head was a veil. Covering her face. She didn't want anyone to recognize her, that's if they could actually recognize her. She was a different person now. She couldn't recognize her own side in the mirror.Glancing around the familiar neighborhood, memories she had been trying to forget was flashing through her.How long has she been away?Standing in front of the prominent bungalow of Lucas. She turned away, feeling the pains of what happened that night. Right there in her chest. She grip her heart.Her eye had gone teary-eyed it felt like yesterday she they were trapped in the
Linda stood by the door of Albert’s ward, patiently waiting for Dixon to come. She squeezed her hands together, Bruce wasn’t here either, she couldn’t wait for them to come, a birthday was tomorrow, but they have to do the dinner now instead of tomorrow, because he might not survive the night. It's all her fault.She couldn't watch her husband, Albert is gonna die because of her. She won't sit and do nothing.Peru must pay for ruining her family, he dare not show up in her face ever again.She wrapped her hands over her body, the night was cold. She remember the one time they had went out as a family on a night as this.That was years ago.
Albert watched his family as they laughed and joked with themselves, they’d never been this free with him, was he that bad of a father to them. He had thought he was doing his best for them and their future. But he ruin his family, he trusted Peru too much that he end up ruining himself and the people who truly cares about him, they were his family. No one else did, his wife and his sons.He’s been awful, and now he’s clear off Peru control, but he had limited time to do whatever he wants to, he couldn’t change the past but could correct the present.He wanted to love his family, but he was gonna die there was no more time for him.This he would have done a long time ago. He won’t have sent his own son to prison just for his personal gain.
“Maeve!” Dixon yelled. It was past three hours she left and he hadn't seen her or know where she had gone. Albert wanted to see her. That's why he was looking for her. Where could she have gone?“Maeve.”He called again.“Where the hell are you?” He called her name again but there wasn't any reply. Where could she be? Did she run away, she couldn't, she promised she was gonna stay with him.“Maeve!”“Keep your voice down,” Mark said, leaning on the door with his eyes partially closed.“You must be the boyfriend.”“Who are you?”
“Hey babe..” He Pushed the hair off her face and kissed her cheeks. She turned, sleepily to face him. His fingers lingers on her face, drawing lines on it.“When did you get back?”“Few minutes ago.”“Are you okay?” She sat up, rubbing her weary eyes. He sat on the bed. Taking her hands in his.“I wasn’t a while ago, but when I got to see you, I couldn’t be more than happy. Don’t ever leave me. I don’t think I would survive not having you beside me each day.”“I’m here. With you.”“Let’s go somewhere tonight, somewhere far from
“Cheers to a good life,” Mark said lifting his glass on the table. Everyone seated at the table lifted their glasses with a smile, Dixon's hands were intertwined with Maeve as he kept caressing them over the table. She smiled at him.“Cheers.” They clicked their glasses. And sips from it.Dixon stood up, still holding his glass.“I wanna make a toast to the ones we lost on the way, the two important persons in my life, my first go to Ms... Theresa, without her playing her major role in our lives, this won’t have happened, and to the one who was more of a brother to me...”“I still can’t believe you had another brother aside from me.”“Shut up Bruce.” Linda laughed.
Roy ran into the house. Shutting the door immediately he entered. He was panting, he had been so scared a while ago, so scared, he didn’t expect to see her like that. And everything now had been in vain. Just like that. Now, this happened. She must be dead now, she must have killed her, Anika was probably dead. There are no two ways about it because of the looks she has on her face. There’s no way anyone survives that.He raced to the bedroom and slumped on the bed. With his hands on his chest. What a narrow escape, it was still late in the night, dark and awfully quiet. Beryl stole a glance at him. And looked away, she didn’t say anything. She pretended that she was still chained to the bed. Still, glued to where he left her, she shut her eyes pretending not to notice him or do anything or say anything to him. The bastard, this was his night. She remained on spot Waiting for him to come to her."Hey babe"
When Dixon woke up, he was in the hospital, his head was bandaged, Bruce was by his side. And he felt so weak and tired.“You’re awake.”He nods.“How long have I been here?”“Twenty hours.”“what?” He tried standing up from the bed.“Hey, stop, don’t try standing.”“It’s the almost full eclipse. I need to go.”“You ain’t going anywhere.”“What’s the time?”
“Are you the only one in here?” Maeve asked as she was still glancing around.“No, I had just a help from someone you would know, here, have your seat.”Maeve sat down with her gaze on the broken chains and cracked walls, which were still stained with blood.“Who is that?”“Roy, I think you need to show yourself here. Someone needs to see you”Roy, the name was familiar, but she couldn’t sure remember who that was, while she was seated she played with her fingers.Roy came in with a plain look, he didn’t stare at her but looked over her head.&nb
A car slow down in front of her, then stopped, he stare at her through the window. “Maeve!” He called, she turned and stare at him. It was Mark. “What are you doing here?” “Taking a walk.” “Where’s Dixon?” “He isn’t here.” “He left you alone?” “I left him.” “What do you mean, get in the car, I’ll give you a room ride.” “I told you I’m taking a walk. You should leave, you didn’t see me today.” “Maeve, What’s...” The look in her eyes made him silence, he said nothing else and watched her walking away like the dead. She didn’t stare back at him or wave. Unlike the Maeve he knew. Something was wrong then. He didn’t know if he had to follow her or just go away. She left Dixon, because he would never leave her alone. He was always buy her side like glue and now he wasn’t. He searched through his contact list, if he had his contact, but the prick was being a prick, so he doesn’t have it. He didn’t have any of their contacts. Now calling them that he saw her was out of it. He had t
“Why didn’t you tell him!” Eamon yelled at Green, he keeps hitting his fist on the table, biting his lips in annoyance.“You should have told him, how do you expect him to feel when he wakes up and she’s gone. He has every right to know!”Green was pacing in front of him, with so much quilt in him.“I wanted to tell him. She won’t let me, I made a promise to her. That I wasn’t gonna tell him, she told me she was gonna tell him herself. I don’t know. I..”“Dixon will be so mad when he finds out what you’ve done. There were days you could have let it slip out but hell no! You held it in. Told no one. You allow her to bear the pains alone. She alone on that painful and lonely
Dixon stirs and turns to his sides, slowly his eyes open. It was still quite dark and he wasn’t so sure of what the time was yet. But he could guess, it was past four in the morning. He sighed and stood up. Naked. Searching for his pants.Then it hits him.Maeve!She wasn’t by his side.He walked back to the spot where they slept. She wasn’t there. He ran shortly to take up his clothes and slide them on.Where’s she?Her clothes weren’t there either.“Alien!” He yelled. His voice echoed as he shouted.
“Still ain’t gonna tell him anything.” Dr. Green said, making breakfast. He tossed the egg and flipped. Maeve was in the kitchen with him. Drinking the green tea, he had made. Her gaze was elsewhere as she kept on exhaling. While taking the tea.“You don’t seems too good.”He studied her. She was still brooding over something. Her hair was almost white now. Just a little remaining.Today was the last day to him. Since it was the second day, she had to leave Dixon side before the cock crock. And then, he sighed as well.He couldn’t find anything else other than the sacrifice of death. That was the only thing he got. And nothing else.He moved to her side
Maeve watched Dixon sleeps. Staring at his face caressing it with her fingers. He stirred and looked at her with a smile, though still sleepy.“Ain’t you asleep yet. Come lay beside me.”“Ain’t sleepy yet. I’ll join you soon though. I had to go somewhere first.”“Where to? It’s late already.”“I’ll be fine. And it would be a quick meeting.”“Humm. Don’t stay out too late, it would be too cold without you In here.” He closed his eyes again and slept off. She chuckled and brought her head down and kissed his lips.A day was gone.
