Chapter 8- Gone Away
Zelgadiss sat on a chair next to Meg's bed and watched her sleep. They hadn't told her of her disease, and the coughing fits had started yesterday.
Meg coughed again, in her sleep.
Zelgadiss sighed inwardly.
"Zelgadiss...." moaned Meg. "I'm sorry," she muttered.
"Sorry?" asked Zelgadiss, before realizing that Meg was talking in her sleep.
Meg woke up. "Zel?" she asked.
"Yeah, it's me," he said.
Meg smiled a little, then coughed. "I'm sorry I'm such a burden to you," she said.
Zel smiled. "It's okay, we don't mind."
Meg sat up, and immediately went into another coughing fit. She coughed up blood.
"Meg!" cried Zel, alarmed. He quickly healed her to stop the bleeding. Meg passed out. Zelgadiss caught her before she fell off the bed.
"Zelgadiss...." she murmumured. "I love you."
Zelgadiss almost dropped Meg out of shock. She loved him? No, he thought. She must be delierious. As Zelgadiss put Meg on the bed, he noticed something on her arm. A rash. Zelgadiss choked. Lina's words echoed in his mind. "If a person got the rashes, then it was too late..."
"Meg..." Zelgadiss sobbed. "Damn that stupid disease."
"Zelgadiss?" asked Meg, waking up again. She coughed.
"I'm here," he said.
"I...... I'm gonna die, aren't I?" she asked quietly.
"Yes," whispered Zelgadiss. "If you can stay alive for another five days, then Sylpheel will be able to come and ressurect you."
"I.... don't think... I can," she murmured.
Zelgadiss sobbed. "Meg...."
Meg passed out again. Zelgadiss woke up Lina, Amelia, and Gourry. Xelloss also came into Meg's room. For the next few hours, Meg went in and out of consioussness. Then, she woke up. She looked Zelgadiss right in the eye. "Zelgadiss, I don't think.... I can make it anymore...." she said.
"Meg, don't say that!" said Lina.
"Zelgadiss?" asked Meg.
"I'm here," he said.
"I.... love you...." said Meg.
"Meg... I love you too," he said.
Meg smiled and lost consiousness. Then, her body disappeared. Meg was gone, and it was impossible for her to be revived.
"What happened?" asked Lina.
"A person must die in the world they were born in," said Xelloss.
"What does that mean?" growled Zelgadiss.
"She wasn't born in this world, so she couldn't die in this world."
