Summary: Paige is hurt, Chris can't save her. Why would Leo watch and not help? Character Death.
Paige orbed into the Manor, colapsing onto the floor. She knew no one was home, but this was the only place she could think of to go. "Chris!" She cried out. Nothing happened. It had been months since she had seen him last, but still she hoped he'd hear her. She laid there, alone, bleeding to death. "Chris" She cried again, only this time it was only a faint whisper. She could feel her mind slipping away. As her eyes closed and her heart slowly stopped beating, a flash of white and blue lights swormed beside her. It was Chris.
Chris looked around, spotting Paige only seconds after orbing in. "Paige!" He screamed rushing over to her. Placing his hands over her wounds, he tried to heal her. A minute went by and when nothing happened, he knew he was to late. He colapsed onto of her crying, knowing it was his fault for not betting there in time. It was hours before he could even move. Picking up her lifeless body he placed her on the couch. Running his hand through her hair, he talked to her, knowing she would never again be able to talk to him back.
"I'm so sorry Paige." More tears slipped down his face. "Please forgive me. If I had only been quick-" He was interrupted by a hand on his shoulder. Turning around he saw who it was.
"It wasn't your fault, Chris." The Elder said.
"What are you doing here?" Chris asked, anger rising in his voice.
"She died protecting our secret. I came to pay my respects." He said calmly, removing his robes to reveal his face.
Chris just looked at his dad, "How did you know, she was dead?" He asked thruogh clenched teeth.
"Because I saw the whole thing" Leo said looking away.
"And you didn't do any-"
"Elders do NOT get involved in these maters." He said looking straight at Chris. "It was her destiny to-"
"To what? To die!?" Chris screamed while grabbing Leo and orbing them out of the Manor.
