Chapter 14

*Sally's POV*

I don't understand what happened. One moment we were having a tea party and then Emily wasn't feeling good. I heard her puking and went to check on her. I saw her holding her chest as blood leaked out of her mouth with a little bit of vomit. She saw me, her eyes filled with pain and sadness, before I screamed. She fell on the ground as blood continued to spill out of her mouth. Splendor came over and examined her.

"Is she dead?" I asked him. I liked to kill, mostly older men who reminded me of my father, but I liked Emily. I screamed because I don't want her to die. She's the only girl who's close to my age that I can play with.

"No, she's not." Splendor said. He then picked her up and examined her.

"Sally, LJ should be with Slender. Can you tell him what happened and tell him I'm taking her to Doctor Smiley?" He asked me.

"Why him? He's creepy." I told him. Doctor Smiley was creepy. He never ate, I don't think he sleeps, but he is a better doctor then EJ is.

"Because EJ's not here and Doctor Smiley is the only other doctor we have here." He told me.

"Alright. I'll find LJ." I told him. Splendor rose up, with Emily in one of his arms, and patted my head before teleporting. I ran. I ran out of my room to find LJ.

*LJ's POV*

Slenderman had me in his office, with Masky and Hoodie, to talk about Emily some more.

"What do you plan on doing with her? Zalgo will kill her if he finds out." Slenderman told me. It was true. I used to have kids that worked in my carnival, I didn't kill them because they were worthy, but once they turned 18 Zalgo manages to kill them instantly. That's why I stopped leaving my kids alive. But Emily was different.

"I won't let him hurt her." I told him.

"You're willing to put us all in danger for her?" He asked me in a slightly skeptic tone.

"I don't think I can kill her, and I don't want to. I'll be damned if I let him hurt her." I told him. That basically answered his question.

"Have you thought about her safety? Her health? Maybe it would be better to possibly have her be a proxy?" He questioned me. I was going to say something when the door burst open.

"LJ!" I heard Sally cry out. I turned to look at her and saw her crying.

"What's wrong Cupcake?" I asked her. She was gasping and crying badly.

"Emily's bleeding!" She suddenly screeched out as more tears fell from her eyes.

"What?!" I shrieked the question out. What happened while I was gone?

"She threw up blood and passed out while holding her chest. Splendor took her to Doctor Smiley. He wanted me to get you." She said as she clung onto me. Doctor Smiley? Not good. Slender was soon next to me along with his proxies.

"Let's see her." He said before teleporting all of us outside his door.

*Splendor's POV*

I had teleported outside Doctor Smiley's room while holding Emily. She was breathing short, gasping breaths to where she shuddered every time she exhaled. She was pale and sweating but felt like she was running a fever. Blood was still dripping from her mouth. She was shaking badly, almost like she's convulsing. I knocked on the doctors door. After a minute I saw it open a crack and a red eye look at me.

"What?" He asked me.

"I have a girl who's bleeding, I think she's dying." I told him. I could see him examining Emily from the crack.

"A human?" He questioned.

"LJ's friend. Slender knows she's here and she's a guest." I told him. I heard him sigh before he closed the door. I heard the door unlock before he opened it all the way for me. I quickly stepped inside.

"On the bed." He told me. I saw the clean hospital bed and went to put Emily down. He must've just cleaned up. Once I let her go she started shaking violently. He came over and looked at her.

"Do you know what's wrong with her before I begin?" He asked me.

"She has a weak heart and needs a new one. LJ has her pills and Epipen. I'm not sure how she got like this but Jason says her mother has been poisoning her." I told him. He looked at me and tilted his head a bit while humming before looking back at her.

"If she needs a new one then that's the hard part. We need a child's heart that will grow with her, not to mention blood type and iron levels." He muttered as he walked over to his medical equipment.

"Can we get one?" I asked him.

"Is LJ going to kill her?" He asked me.

"We're not sure yet. Most likely not." I told him. It was true. I don't think LJ could kill her.

"If so then there would be no point." He told me.

"You know how he gets if he doesn't kill his kids anyhow." I reminded him. He shuddered as I knew he remembered how he acted when Other Mother took one of his child victims from him. It was a mess. He threw a tantrum, scared everyone half to death, threw things at people and left poison candy for us to choke on and puke from. Doctor Smiley sighed before setting up an IV bag.

"Hold her." He told me. I complied and held her down, with her on her back, just as she started gasping out silent screams and started moving violently. I saw him stick a needle in her before injecting her with something. Once it was inside her she slowly stopped moving. Her breathing was still off but she was a lot more calm. He then stuck an IV needle in her and went over to his tools.

"You can let her go now, she won't wake up nor feel pain right now." He told me. I did as he asked and decided to move away from both of them. I wanted to ask what he was going to do but I felt I shouldn't. Don't want to get him agitated. Just then the door flew open.

"Where is she?! What happened?! What's wrong with her?!" LJ practically screamed out.

"She's fine for now." Doctor Smiley told him simply before looking at his other things.

"What's wrong with her?" LJ asked as he was soon by her side.

"What medicine is she on?" Doctor Smiley asked. LJ looked at him before tossing him the pill bottle and the EpiPen. The doctor was examining it and then looking at her every second or two.

"Is she due for surgery?" He suddenly asked.

"I'm not sure. She said it would be a long time." LJ told him.

"Well this medication isn't helping her. If she has what I think she does, which I'm sure she does, then this, that is supposed to prolong it, will actually harm her more because of her age." Doctor Smiley said to us. I was actually shocked he spoke this much at once.

"There is no hope then?" Masky asked in a distant tone as he, Hoodie, and my older brother came closer to us.

"Not unless she has a new heart ready for her. Finding one will be tough. She might die painfully if not." He told us. LJ looked mad.

"Fix her! Fix her now!" LJ yelled out. Doctor Smiley just shook his head.

"It would just be prolonged. I'm not hunting kids down to find her a heart when she might not live either way." He told us.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Even if she does get a new heart, she might not live through the surgery or even live after it. She's a child and is unstable right now." He told us. That was not what LJ wanted to hear.

"I'll find a heart. I'll bring back as many as I can-" LJ started but Doctor Smiley glared at him.

"It's a waste of time." He said as he pulled out a different bottle.

"If you want her alive a little longer than make sure she takes these. They'll help lessen the pain and it might help her out a bit more." He added as he tossed the bottle to LJ, who caught it, and looked at it before back at Emily.

"How did this happen?" He asked in a near whisper.

"If she was attacked or under a certain amount of stress then that would've done it." Doctor smiley said to us.

"Other Mother. I'm going to kill her!" LJ whispered her name before standing up and shouting in rage.

"Calm down." Slenderman said to him. LJ didn't listen and was throwing a fit.

"If you don't calm down then I'll remove you." Doctor Smiley said to LJ. Lj just glared at him and went to say something before Doctor Smiley pointed to the machine she was now hooked up to. A heart monitor. It was beeping rapidly before it started to calm down a little.

"Everytime you scream, yell, shout and throw things she hears it and panics. She can't handle this, the stress is too much for her. She'll die from cardiac arrest, or commonly known as a heart attack, or her heart could stop all together or even explode." Doctor Smiley said to him. LJ suddenly froze in his place as he watched her heart rate slowly decrease. She had been whimpering before she calmed down. We all saw a tear start to roll down her left cheek. LJ leaned over, stretching his arm over to her face, and used his finger to wipe the tear away with his finger.

"I'm sorry Lollipop." He whispered to her.

"What can we do?" I asked out of curiosity. I doubt Zalgo would help us.

"If EJ can help then he can find her a heart easily while I stay here and monitor her." Doctor Smiley said.

"Is this what you want LJ?" Slenderman asked LJ. Sally went to Emily's side and sat Emily's bear next to her along with her nutcracker on the other side before pulling up a chair and waited for her to wake up. LJ's eyes softened before nodding his head.

"I don't want her to die." LJ said softly.

"Then find EJ to help." Doctor Smiley said. We decided to leave Doctor Smiley alone with her, I had to take Sally by force since she threw a fit over leaving, LJ left to find EJ, and Masky and Hoodie stood outside the door to guard while Slenderman went back to his office. We had no idea what would happen next. I just hope that little ray of sunshine lives. The world needs more people like her.
