He was sure he had almost found the cure, but he was running out of time, there were only two days left. Today was the fourth day, and Lina was getting worse by the secound. For once, he was actually glad for Zelgaudis's presence, because if he wasn't there, the rest of the group would have no idea how to take care of Lina. He began reading out of the books on Mayuki Poisin that was in the Archives in his study. But the whole time he was really thinking of Lina and what she had said. She had said she loved him, but had that been her or the poisin talking? And they kissed...
Xellos pressed his hand to his lips. The kiss had tasted of blood, which was probably a very bad sign. He guessed it was probably just the poisin and let out a long sigh.
"Well, I do hope she's doing alright," he said to him self. And then he went back to reading.
Lina was not feeling up to eating at all, so when Philla came to bring Lina her breakfast, She pretended like she was sleeping, so she just left it by the bedside. She sat up after she left and looked at the food suspicusly.
It did not look good, especially the blue colored pills, she knew nothing could help her, so why were they trying? What was the point? Then Zelgaudis walked into the room.
"What do YOU want?!" said Lina in a nasty voice.
"Lina, I know you don't mean it when you say these things, In fact, there's nothing you can do."
"LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!"
"But that doesn't mean it doesn't hurt,"
"I don't care just go away!" said Lina, trying to stop the words from coming.
"I know the real Lina is in there somewhere."
"N-n-o t-th-is i-s-n't mm-e" said Lina.
"I know, I'm trying to get through to you, Just try, Try hard to say what you really mean!"
"I HATE YOU!" and with that Lina picked up a glass from the bedside and chucked it at her good friend.
"Lina, please." said Zelgaudis just barely dodgeing the glass, watching it shatter against the door.
Amelia heard the crash and rushed into the room, Philla following after.
Lina began screaming and curseing them all, throwing things and calling for Xellos.
"Miss Lina Please LISTEN!" cried Ameila
"NO! YOU ARE ALL BEING A BUNCH OF DAMN CRUEL IDOITS! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"
"No, it's you who are being Cruel!" said Philla , sternly.
"SHUT UP BLONDIE NOBODY CARES! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU ALL!"
"LINA!" cried Gourry rushing into the room."Your only going to make yourself worse!"
"Yes, Gourry is Right!" said Zelgaudis.
"THEN LEAVE ALREADY!"
Then everyone left the room. And she picked up a Glass shard and began strikeing herself with it. All of a sudden then Xellos appeared. He took the glass shard away from Lina and picked her up in his arms. She kicked and screamed and tried to get away, but Xellos was very strong. He walked around the pieces of plates and cups, and opened the door. He walked into the living room and stood before all of Lina's friends.
"I have something I have to tell you all." he said, seriously.
"What is it!" said Gourry, which was what everyone was thinking, so they nodded in agreement.
"I have found a way to cure the Mayuki Poisin, but not completely. In fact it could kill both Myself and Lina, but it's the only thing that might work, to keep her alive.
I know how to do it, it's not very complicated, just risky."
"Well, what is it then?" said gourry, again everyone areed.
"well, Miss Lina would have to give up half of her humanity.."
"WHAT?!" shouted Zelgaudis.
"And I would give up half of my Mazoku Life."
"Ummm,"
"Which means, Lina would become Half-Mazoku, But still have all her regular human emotions, but work for my master, And gain alot of power. "
"Oh, that doesn't sound too bad. "
"But she would also be bound to me , and, she would end up, having half my soul, and I would have half of hers.
So we would be equally powerful, and both half-human half-mazoku. I looked everywhere, it's the only way."
All of them were sielent, even Lina, who had been staring at Xellos the whole time. I want to do this, she thought, even if it means loseing half of myself to Xellos,
I want to stay alive.
