This will be a heavily dialogued chapter, sorry. But please enjoy!

Also, since I posted so early and I'm almost done with this story, and i was already long since done with this chapter, I thought I'd post another chappie. ;)


" Bull. "

Fatima spat, not surprising Septimus in the slightest. This would be the typical reaction to learning of one, the son of Flash, and two, the coma. Probably mostly the coma.

" One, you're a demon. Hell, a freakish demon. No way Flash would have a child like you. And two, a coma? Yeah right. I'm just sleeping. Dreaming of my accident... "

" ... Fatima. "

Septimus said firmly, taking a few steps closer.

" Do you really believe that? Do you really believe you're only sleeping? "

Fatima frowned, crossing her arms and looking down. Clearly she had begun to doubt herself.


" No! "

Fatch shouted, keeping the nurse away from his sister. The doctors had said today was the day they were going to pull the plug (it was just after midnight). But Fatch would have none of that. Not when Septimus was, not only in his sisters mind, but when he was so close. He knew the demon could do this, he just needed time.

The nurse was trying though. Fatch understood she needed to do her job, but he would have none of this. They were so close... he could feel it. He couldn't let this woman- this incompetent woman- pull the plug. It was dangerous on two accounts...

" You can't do this! "

" Sir, please! "

The woman grunted, struggling even more.

" Let me do my job! "

" No! "

Suddenly a snap could be heard, and the woman disappeared in a burst of light. Turning, Fatch and Thatch were BOTH surprised to find Moon glowing white, indicating he'd used magic. He'd teleported the woman away. The boy blushed and folded his hands behind his back, twirling his foot around shyly.

" I-I'm sorry, I just... sh-she was gonna pull the plug and- Eep! "

The next thing either vamp knew, Fatch had locked the child into a nearly bone crushing hug. Luckily he was still smart enough not to mangle him, but it was definitely tight.

" Oh thank you, thank you, thank you so much Moon! "

" E-eh... N-no problem... "


" ... Why are you here then? "

Fatima hissed, backing up as if afraid.

" If you're a demon, why would you bother with me? "

" A-as I said before, I'm the son of Flash. And I'm not 100% demon. "

Septimus explained before shaking his head.

" M-my demonicness isn't important. I'm here because your brother, Fatch Ramirez, gave me permission to try and help you wake up. "

Almost immediately Fatima perked up, obviously amazed by the fact her brother was brought up. Or that Septimus even KNEW her brother. That's kinda why the demon brought him up. He knew the woman would be much more interested in her brother. Especially since she'd been looking for him.

" H-how do you know him? "

Fatima asked cautiously, backing up greatly.

" Well... at first we fought against each other, but when I began to remember I was Platinum, he was there to stop me from making the worst mistake in my life. I still have a hard time believing he helped me, but I owe him my life. "

" ... Wh-what does he look like? "

The woman couldn't help but ask, and Septimus knew she believed him but wanted to sound strong. But that was fine. Since Septimus was in her mind, he could paint a mental picture. He'd admit he didn't have very much energy to do so, but he'd do it in hopes seeing what her brother looked like would make her more agreeable.

Slowly he began to rub his temples, an image of the stubborn vampire prince taking form. Fatima looked absolutely awestruck by this, stepping forward and closer to the image. As she was about to touch it, it vanished, and she turned to find a breathless fire demon. Septimus knew he had to hurry things along. Looking up, he panted once more, looking at the woman in a pleading way.

" Look miss Fatima... "

He wheezed, trying to keep his breath. He was losing energy fast... yet he held on, not wanting to give up. Fatima's life depended on it. If he couldn't do this, the doctors would pull the plug on her someday soon. And he simply couldn't fail now...

" I-I'm running out of energy. Please, please listen to me. Your family will be so heart broken if I can't help you... "

" M-my family? "

Fatima said shakily, and Septimus mentally kicked himself. Of COURSE she'd be confused. She didn't know the Ramirez family was brought back... this explanation would take more time than he'd like to give...


' Something's wrong... ' Fatch thought in a panic. Naturally Fatima hadn't moved, but Septimus was getting worse. The demon was becoming freezing to the touch- which was horrible considering he was a fire demon-, he was shuddering uncontrollably, and worse, he looked like he'd faint at any given moment. Fatch wanted to shake him and force him away from his sisters subconscious, but he feared he'd damage something. The prince crossed his fingers again and clenched his eyes shut, praying that the two would be alright. However, he knew his prayers would go unheard and ignored. He knew Flash couldn't get involved in moments like this. For the balance and what not...


" E-everyone's back... "

Fatima whimpered, slowly sitting on her knees. But the demon understood. This was a lot to take in...

" And they're waiting for me to wake up. Septimus, was it? "

Septimus nodded, actually feeling himself growing paler due to being unbearably cold. He just hoped the creature didn't notice.

" How do I wake up? "

" It ain't easy but... "

The demon responded, now rubbing his upper arms. Obviously this behavior had the girl concerned, but she said nothing.

" You must focus on why you want to wake up. Think of only that. Think as hard as you can, and... hopefully... I can wake you up. "

" D-do you even have the strength to wake me up? "

Fatima said worriedly, quickly getting to her feet and rushing over to the demon. She placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, looking at him sadly.

" You look absolutely exhausted. "

Septimus shook his head hurriedly, wishing more than ever his hair would light up and give him some strength. Alas, he was too cold to do so.

" I-I can do this! "

He snapped on determination, trying to sound strong. Slowly, he lowered his head, his eyes hidden from view, his fists shaking violently.

" I have to... I-I can't let him down... "

Fatima frowned lightly, surprised at what she heard. Suddenly the demon zipped over and took hold of her hands, glowing a bright gold. However, it almost seemed like this energy was causing him pain. Wanting to hurry this up for the demons sake, Fatima focused on how badly she wanted to see her family. To see her parents smile, to hear her twin siblings laugh, to meet her sister Katie, to get to know Marco, Midnight and Dusk, and to finally see Fatch...

The world around them began to haze, and the duo were suddenly blinded as Septimus' golden light flared out.


The duo both jumped when they woke up, Fatima ramming her head into Septimus' head painfully and sending the demon to the ground. Fatima yelped, looking down and seeing two young, grey skinned vampires helping the demon sit up a bit, muttering something about the demon being freezing.

The girl jumped lightly, feeling something take hold of her hand. Turning, she found another vampire there, except this one matched the image Septimus had shown her. He looked like he was deeply relieved, as he had glittering ruby eyes lined with tears. Fatima smiled, tearing up as well and bringing the boy into a tight hug.

As she hugged him,she couldn't help but look at Septimus from over his shoulders, finding said demon shaking violently yet he was sweating, even looking physically ill. She hoped he was alright...


Yay! Fatima's awake! Hope you all enjoyed!
