"Alexander, do you have the nanite crystal?" Said the beautiful woman with dark hair and emerald eyes.
The girl who was only 10 was on the table, badly wounded and barely alive. The explosion that set nanites all over the world had shook the home so bad, that everything crashed to the floor.
The girl saw the tall book case falling over and threatening to crush her little sister that she didn't think twice about pushing her sister out of the way and couldn't save herself when the items fell on top of her.
Her parents, the top scientists in their field and founder of the one and only nanite crystal, found their little girl, crushed under the heavy items. When they frantically dug out the items, tears came to their eyes as they saw their daughter bloody, bruised, and barely alive.
"Alaine, my baby girl. What happened?" Her father said as he gingerly held her.
"Daddy..." She breathed out, her chest in hot pain.
"What happened?" Her mother cried as she held her baby, Miele, who was crying.
"I saved...my sister. She was..."
Alaine wanted to sleep and her father shook her because he knew she was close to death.
"We have to save her!" Her mother yelled.
"How?" Her father said as he cradled his daughter to his chest and stood up.
His wife stared at him with determination in her green eyes that both girls inherited. It dawned on him what she meant.
"No," he said terror growing in his chest. "No, no, no, no, Lucinda!"
"We have no choice. Our daughter won't survive this by medical help alone!"
"We don't know what the crystal does yet. We don't know how it can affect her."
"Daddy... it hurts..." Alaine said as she weakly touched her father's cheek.
He gasped at the touch of his little girl's hand, it was so cold.
"We have no choice, Alexander." His wife said.
Alexander looked at his daughter, cold, bloody, and barely alive. She had her mother's skin tone, body and eye color but she had his hair color and facial features. He was afraid of so many things but he was terrified of one thing; losing his daughter.
"We're going to make you feel better, okay baby?" Alexander said as looked at his dying daughter.
"O...Kay..."
They wasted no time in getting to their lab and putting Miele in a play net and got to work on Aliyanna.
"I want...to sleep..." Aliyanna breathed out as her parents cleaned her wounds.
"Soon, sweetie, soon..." Her mother said as they cleaned her chest.
They gasped as they saw her chest open, open letting them see her blood, veins, and bones.
"What's...wrong?" Alaine breathed out. She was so tired.
"Nothing, baby girl." Her father said.
"Alexander, do you have the nanite crystal?"
Her husband came to the woman with a black suitcase.
"Luce, what if it doesn't work?" Alexander asked.
"It will work, Alex."
Lucinda opened the suitcase and a bright light came shining through. They looked at the silver crystal. It was beautiful, shaped like a dahlia flower. The woman grabbed the crystal and it was warm, as if it were alive. She carried carefully in her hand and turned to her daughter.
"Luce, what if..."
"No!" She boomed. "It will work!"
She placed the crystal over her daughter's chest and it glowed so brightly it hurt their eyes and Lucinda was forced let go of the crystal. When the glow lessened, Lucinda and Alexander looked to see the crystal hovering over Alaine's body. It was humming with energy and shot out a beam of light at Alaine's open chest and Alaine screamed.
"Luce, stop it. It's hurting her!" Alexander yelled as he ran to his daughter but an invisible barrier around the table wouldn't let him near her.
"Alex!" Lucinda yelled as she too tried to get past the barrier.
They saw Alaine's body glow as bright as the crystal which heightened the intensity of the beam of light shooting at Alaine's chest. Her parents yelled, banged and screamed as Alaine yelled in pain. Her parents froze when they saw the crystal retract the beam of light and hovered over Alaine, who was breathing heavily. The crystal hovered for a few seconds then glowed softly like light bulb going on and off.
Alaine reached her arms up and cupped the crystal in her hands.
As soon as Alaine touched the crystal, it sent an insane amount of light, lighting up the whole room and when the light disappeared; her parents saw that Alaine's wounds were gone.
Alaine fell limp and the crystal went inside her chest like a drop of water in the ocean and her chest glowed then died down. The barrier disappeared and her parents wasted no time in rushing to their daughter.
"Honey, honey, are you okay?" Her mother said as she touched her daughter's hair.
Alaine moaned and slowly opened her eyes.
"Mom? Dad?" She asked weakly.
Her parents breathed sighs of relief and crushed her body to theirs.
