The Last Warrior
Chapter 23:Epilouge
Slade walked slowly through the crowded hospital. Focused compleately on his goal. He turned the corner and spotted Doc Brown.
"Lucky they got her here on time, or she wouldn't have made it." He was saying to a nurse.
"Doc." Slade called.
"Slade? Is that you?" Doc said amazed.
"Where's Eve?" Slade asked.
"Are you alright, your friends told me you were fighting Kane." The doc said.
"Where's Eve?" Slade repeated.
"She's resting up right now in there." He pointed to the room behind him. Slade moved towards it but Doc blocked his way.
"Let me see her." Slade said firmly.
"You can't. She slipped into a coma from shock. She probably won't wake up for awhile, her wound was bad, but not bad enough to consitute this comatose state. She shouldn't be disturbed. She needs peace and comfort." said Doc, trying to match Slade's firm tone.
"I need to see her right now!" said Slade angrily.
"You're a bit excited, please go home and rest for awhile so you can calm..."
"LET ME SEE HER NOW!!!!!!! Slade screamed as he punched the wall, making a hole. Doc was about to protest more, but the look in Slade's eyes told him not to pursue them matter.
"All right Slade. Go ahead." He moved aside. Slade walked into the room and saw Eve, lying on a bed and hooked up to all kinds of medical equipment. Slade knelt down beside her and gently put his hand on hers.
"Hey Eve." He said. "Well, I did it. I fufilled my promise to my family, and to you. I'm still alive."
Eve gave no response. Slades eyes began to well up with tears.
"I-I'm sorry. I'm sorry I couldn't protect you. I'm such a failure. If I'd never met you then you wouldn't be like you are now. You didn't deserve this, you should have been doing something better than trying to lead a rebellion. You deserved better than this, better than me."
Still no response.
"I couldn't say it before Eve. I was scared. Every person that's meant something to me has died. I thought that if I got close to you, it would happen again. Or that I would die and you would have that feeling. I don't ever want to feel like that again, nor do I want anyone else to. But I'm not afraid anymore. Eve, I love you." Slade bent his head and rested on her soft hand. "I love you."
"You are, the sweetest person, that I've ever met."
Slade looked up and saw Eve staring right at him, smiling. Slade was speechless, he could only just return the smile. Eve lifted up her hand and put it to his cheek. Slade grasped her hand and kept it to his face.
"I'm sorry." He repeated.
"No, I'm sorry, I should have just stayed where I was, but I wanted to help you so bad, that I didn't care what happend to me. I just wanted to be near you." Eve said.
Slade didn't say anything. He got up to lean over her, and kissed her softly on the lips. Slade bent back up and smiled at Eve, then he collapsed on her lap.
"Slade!" She said surprised. "Doc!"
Doc rushed in and looked at Slade.
"Is he alright Doc?" Eve said, worried.
Doc smiled, "He's asleep. This all must have been very hard on him."
Eve smiled and gently ran her fingers through Slade's thick black hair.
3 years later...
Slade looked around his house. He had built it himself, with a bit of help, at the lake by the old base. It was fairly large, enough space for him and his wife, and their newborn baby. Slade looked at his wife Eve, holding his new son Aaron. Eve looked back and smiled.
"Slade," She said. "I'd prefer if you didn't fight anymore, I'd like for you to help me take care of Aaron okay?"
"I'll try." Slade said, looking out the window.
"I don't want Aaron fighting either. So lets keep the training a little less intense, okay?" Eve added.
Slade didn't answer, and Eve took that for a yes. She turned away and didn't see the smile that had appeared on her husband's face. A crooked, half-smile.
Well that end's the first chapter of series of stories that I have named Dragonball Bloodlines. Stay tuned for the next installment of DBB, coming soon to a web page near you!!
