"NOOOOO!!!" X screamed, a loud scream like that of a wounded animal. He frantically shook Elle by the shoulders trying to force her to breathe again, to live again. This couldn't be the way things ended. He wouldn't let it. He slowly, reluctantly lowered her to the ground, not wanted to put her down but knowing he had to. He leaned over her, trying to repeat something he had saw a group of the human agents practicing a few months earlier. He fumbled, tilting her head back a little before pressing his lips against hers, pinching her little nose and blowing into her mouth.

"Elle, please!!" X whispered as he blew into her mouth frantically again and again. He had no idea if he was doing this right, no idea if there was something else that he should be doing as well. Why had he been so distainful of humans, of anything connected to humans? She could die and he wouldn't be able to do anything to save her!

"This isn't right!!! Take me, not her!!" X shrieked. She wasn't reacting, wasn't coming back. What was he going to do? He couldn't loose her! His chest was burning, his heart throbbing with this strange sensation. He looked up at the humans zooming by. Why weren't they stopping, trying to help? "HELP US!!! SOMEONE PLEASE HELP US!!!"

He frantically blew in her mouth again, trying to force the life back into her body, screaming between breaths for help. She was so cold, so very very cold. He blew again, a tiny bit harder. He had no idea of the force he needed to use for this. He didn't want to risk hurting her but....

Suddenly, she trembled a bit, her lips twitching as she tried to draw in a breath. "That's it," X whispered as he stroked her cheek. "Come on! Breathe!" She gasped again and again, fighting for breath as X stroked her, talking to her, begging her to come back. She let out one finally gasp and then her breathing miraculously settled into a very slow pattern.

"Okay," X whispered as he leaned down again, gently kissing her cheek before standing. "I'm going to get you some help now. I'll make those humans stop for us!" he looked down the road, seeing another car coming. This was very risky but he had no other choice. He stepped right out in front of it, screaming for it to stop. Maybe he would be hit, but at least the human driving would find Elle, would help her. That's all he cared about.
