Woot woot new chapter is up, things get pretty serious here, just sayin.
Ezra was so serious when he said those last few words, it almost made Sabine panic. She brushed it off.
The same brunette poked her head around the door.
"What kind of problem? 'Cos we have a lot of those here" She asked in a cheery voice, that didn't seem to match the way she had spoken to Sabine earlier.
"Jinx problem"
The entire team seemed worried for a minute, especially Tally.
"Show us" The Twi'Lek was serious.
Jinx cowered in the hallway, her small body buzzed with pain, her back felt as if it was ripping apart. She felt so cold, so alone like nothing could bring her out of this torture. Is this what dying felt like? The glistening needle was just out of her reach, dripping with crimson fluid, just too far away for her to end it all. Blurred colour appeared before her tired eyes, but lonely silence burned her ears.
Sabine gasped in horror at the mess before her, the sweet innocent girl she had only known for a day, lay crippled and twitching in a pool of her own blood. She looked towards Ezra. He was nothing like how she usually was, he was pale, shuddering with fear.
"Wh-what happened to her" Sabine stuttered in shock.
*flashback to when Ezra injected Jinx with her meds*
After much struggling the clone calmed down and accepted her fate. Ezra grinned in satisfaction.
"Fine," she groaned as she reluctantly rolled up her sleeve "Yanno after a while it doesn't hurt so -"
She fell to the floor in a crumpled heap, eyes pale and lifeless, blood pouring from her frame.
Ezra dropped the needle in panic and ran to the others.
*end flashback*
The same silence filled the air. Hylo was the first to speak.
"As much as I don't want to admit it...we have to go back, we can't fix this by ourselves"
Ezra just nodded slowly, still too shocked to move or speak. Tally beckoned Sabine towards her.
"We'll clean up here," She looked towards Ezra "Ezra...just go back to your room, we'll call you when we get back.
As much as Ezra wanted to go back to his room...he couldn't just leave her with Tally and Sabine, he shuffled closer to the clone, however a glare from the motherly Twi'lek stopped him in his tracks."Ezra, don't worry she'll be okay, back at Central, they can help her"
"But what if they can't, what if she..."
Tally gave him a sympathetic look.
"Shhh, don't think about that, she'll be okay...I promise"
Ezra knew that this was a promise that Tally couldn't keep.
*At Central*
Officials took Jinx into the lab to hopefully fix her, the entire team worried for the young clone, Tally shifted nervously in her seat, Ezra was still in shock, even Hylo seemed to show panic.
"Hey you"
It was the brunette.
"My name's Jain"
Sabine must have had a confused look on her face at that moment.
"You didn't know my name before did you? No? That's why I'm telling you now"
Jain scowled at her, daring her to reply. Sabine wished she could be back with Hera, Kanan and the rest of her family.
*With Jinx*
Jinx could hear the doctors rush around her, people talked about her health, whether she'd make it. One word was burned into her brain...amputate, Jinx had no idea what it meant, but it sounded scary, like it would hurt, she didn't want to be hurt, Ezra, Hylo, Tally and Jain, they all needed her, and she needed them, she was determined not to die, the clone was sure she would live. Jinx was trapped in her own dark world, their was only sound and smells, she had spent hours in the inky blackness, it was so lonely here, only strange people she didn't know could be heard and a thick, clean smell filled her nostrils. Eventually the dull sound of the heart monitor lulled her to sleep.
*Back with everyone else*
A young doctor with dark orange hair tied back in a short scruffy ponytail, exited the room where they were keeping Jinx. He adjusted his glasses and turned towards the group.
"The patient is expected to live, however her right arm will need to be amputated, she also has an unstable molecular structure, is there anything I should know about?
Ezra answered "She's a clone"
The doctor calm, straight face turned to one of fear, he dropped his notebook in panic and ran back into the room.
Jain sighed "Happens every time"
Sabine sat up "This has happened before?"
"No, it's just whenever someone asks about Jinx and we tell them she's a clone, they always freak out about it" Hylo groaned.
Ezra glanced towards Tally "You haven't said anything, you okay?"
"Her right arm...has to be amputated...nothing will be the same...nothing..."
"Tally?" Even the apathetic Miralian was concerned for the Twi'lek.
Tally was deadly still, not a sound came from her.
Jain looked up from the magazine she had been flicking through.
"Should I get someone?" She began to rise from her seat.
"No...no...don't...worry...I'll...be...okay..."
Her breathing was heavy, Sabine gave Ezra a worried look, he returned it. Silence chilled the air, not a word was spoken from anyone in the room.
Ezra slowly began to get up "Tally, you really need some help, I'll go get someone and..."
"NO," Everyone one was shocked at her tone "I'll...be...fine...sit...down...Ezra..."
Ezra didn't sit down, he kept walking towards the desk. Tally began getting up too, she struggled and stumbled, Sabine and Hylo got up to help her back into her chair while Ezra got a nurse. Tally fought back, pushing the girls away.
"No..." Her breaths were deeper, her voice barely audible. She started to tremble, hands gripping at the legs of the nearby chairs, until she fainted.
I set myself a goal of 1000 words and spent a solid two hours writing this, you people better read it.
