Second Chances
-----------------------------------------
Chapter 4
-----------------------------------------
Sheba stared into Isaac's eyes. She pondered whether she should tell him, knowing that it could spell doom. On the other hand, Isaac WAS a kind, caring person. He would more than likely help, but... There was a chance that he wouldn't. She didn't have many options, though: Isaac had more knowlege of healing than she did.
"Isaac, there's something I need you to see. But... You have to promise not to tell ANYONE."
Isaac's brow furrowed. He apparently had surmised that she was hiding something, and was bracing himself for whatever it was. "I promise, Sheba."
Watching his eyes, she noticed that they remained serious, yet still had a touch of caring... Turning around, she opened the tent, allowing both herself and Isaac to enter. No sooner had they entered did Isaac take a deep breath. Before them laid Alex, asleep in her bed.
"Sheba..." spoke Isaac. Seeing Alex was probably the last thing he had expected.
"I found him while wandering near the ruins of Aleph. I didn't know if anyone else would be willing to help him to recover, so I..."
"You rescued him and brought him here?"
Sheba blinked in suprise. Whatever thoughts Isaac had for her were in conflict with her recent actions.
"I didn't want him to die, Isaac. Noone should have to die."
"Sheba, if anyone else finds out..."
For a second, she worried if he might break his promise and inform on her. But then, she thought the better of it - he wouldn't do that. Isaac, whatever his opinion of Alex, was a man of his word.
"I know, but he shouldn't be hung. We should at least give him a chance to repent for his crimes and start anew."
Isaac again took a deep breath, and turned to say something to her. But before either of them could speak, a sharp moan of pain came from behind them, and they turned to see Alex suddenly tossing and turning on the cot. Immediately, Isaac knelt down, placing his palm on his former foe's head.
"He has a fever. I need a wet cloth."
Sheba quickly grabbed her water bowl and towl, handing them to Isaac. She watched as he gently doctored Alex's head, patting his cheeks and forehead with the cloth. She wondered what would happen now, since Isaac had been brought in on the secret...
-----------------------------------------
Alex yelled as the flames cooked at his skin, the pain unbearable. He tried to teleport for the nth time, but found his efforts to be for naught. Darkness claimed him, and he found himself in a vast chamber of nothing. He was standing on...nothing? Where was this? Had he died? If so, why was it that he continued to exist?
He turned around, only then noticing that he was not alone. Sheba stood there, her face one of caring and innocence. He did not know if she would treat him such if he told her his motives. But he welcomed her warm, caring nature.
Walking forward, he grasped her in a hug, closing his eyes as he held her. Pulling back, he opened his eyes, staring into the eyes of his blond savior.
But the blonde person he held was not the savior that was in his vision.
Quickly realizing that something was amiss, he backed away, noticing that both Sheba and Isaac stared at him quizically. Wait, Isaac? The hell was Isaac doing here? Were Sheba and Isaac an item? If so, why did Sheba aid him? Did she do it for her stated reasons, or was it so they could heal him for an execution???
"Alex, it's ok. Isaac's the one that healed you."
Alex raised his eyebrows, glancing at Isaac. Though he found it odd, it did make sense that the Venusian would do such an act. Would probably do it in a heartbeat if Sheba asked him to do it.
"Why did you do it, Isaac?"
"Sheba was telling me that she had rescued you, and wanted my assistance to heal you."
Something he said...The way he said it... Were they not an item...?
He shook his head. He was alive, though what they meant by healing him, he did not know. He was still very weak, and could barely feel his psynergy. Worse yet, he was surrounded by people that were not as kind as Sheba or Isaac...
And now he had two people that knew he was here. Only a matter of time before Mia or Piers or Felix found out...
