Saya awoke in a white room and became quite aware that she had been placed in an infirmary. She felt the needle in her arm and also some weight lifted from her body. She sat up to see Julia watching her from the corner. Saya smoothed out the wrinkles on her pink tank top, her clothes had been changed.
"Julia-san..." she said, rubbing her eyes before coming back to realizing the events that took place prior to this.
"Hagi!" she shouted, trying to get up but Julia set a hand on her shoulder and gently pushed her back into her bed.
"Saya, Hagi is stable and resting. However I have some bad news for you," Julia said. There were tears in her eyes.
"When Hagi brought you in you were writhing in pain even though you weren't damaged. He told me of what you did in order to protect him. But...when you did that...you.." Julia hesitated.
"Tell ME! What happened to my body?!" Saya shouted in fear and anger.
"..You cut the umbilical cord of one of the twins in half. It bled to death inside the womb and you required surgery in order to remove the dead fetus," Julia said, showing her the x-ray with sadness in her eyes. Saya held her head in her hands; she killed something she loved from someone she hated.
He-he made me...I-I had to...As God as my witness I will have my vengeance!
"The plans were not successful. Saya stabbed herself in order to save Hagi," Phantom told his cohorts. Amshel chuckled smugly in amusement.
"You are so vulnerable to your whims. Solomon was right; you are always driven by your passion. My little younger brother," Amshel mocked and Phantom began to looked annoyed. Phantom struck him down; making three gashes in Amshel.
"Weak! You call me weak when I have complete control over you and James and possibly thousands of Chiropterans?! Weak, you are weak. Your passion for Diva had led to so many outcomes and very few good. You are weak sir, you are the weak link and I should dispose of you as soon as possible. You show very little use to me," Phantom said with anger. Amshel's wounds healed up and he bent over on his knee to show respect.
"Forgive me brother," Amshel said, however Phantom gave no rebuttal until a few moments later. They stood in complete silence until Phantom turned around to look at him, smugly.
"Pity, if you would have let me kill my Saya in the beginning this would have never happened." Phantom jeered as he walked away to forage the town for blood.
Solomon.
Saya sat next to Hagi in his bed; he lie still and silent. She could see his body was healed, but he was feeble from battle and hemorrhaging. She touched his cheek with her fingers. I'm so very sorry Hagi...I should have thought of something different. That way you couldn't have used the rest of your strength to bring me here. Saya thought as tears rolled down her cheeks and under her chin. She grabbed Hagi's hand and placed it on her stomach.
"Can you feel the child? I can feel it," Saya said dejectedly. Julia walked up to her and touched her shoulder.
"I'm sorry, Saya, but we don't know how long he'll be comatose. Perhaps he'll awake in a few hours or when his mind is able to deal with the physical pain," Julia said, trying to encourage Saya to stay alive and sanguine.
"I-I just want him to feel that he sacrificed himself for not only me but for my children...for the only child I have left," Saya said, squeezing his hand and hoping for the best. She smiled tentatively with a soft look on her face.
He's strong; he'll make it through this, Saya hoped.
