The Chase and Race Against Time
We drove down the dark highway back to the Hospital, I knew Liz wasn't dead. I held her with me the entire time, and it seemed almost like she moved. After about 20 min. we got back to town and it got more and more crowded. Then I kept glancing at the rearview mirror, I had no idea why, I noticed a car that had followed us all the way from the woods.
"Hey Izzy, take a turn at that gas station we need to switch places" I told her and her being her; she didn't ask and did just what I told her. She took over taking care of Liz and I jumped into the driver's seat.
"Max, can I ask why?" I looked at the mirrors again and the car was still there, waiting for us to come out.
"We're being followed, I'm gonna try and lose them first, but on my way to the hospital I'll drop you three off and I'll go somewhere to throw off suspicion" no one questioned me. We drove by the hospital and Isabel jumped out with Liz and they were immediately admitted into Emergency. Michael refused to go, but I didn't want to take a risk, so I let him stay and we took of with the car still behind. I drove into the desert with an idea.
"Michael, create a dust storm, it's really common here, and they won't get suspicious" He jumped in the back, and sticking out his hand and our dark back window, the driver saw nothing, except lots of dust. As it cleared up we were out and no longer followed. "Maxwell, lost them" I sighed; finally, I turned and went back to the hospital.
We ran into the room, it had started raining, I was wet, and so was Michael. "A girl with long blonde hair came in about 15 minutes ago and she had another girl in her arms, where are they?" the woman at the desk opened the door and told us to follow them. We came into the room, Liz was so different now. She had a hospital gown on, and was lying in the bed so helpless, so beat up, so beautiful. No matter what happened I knew I would never forget her.
"Excuse me doctor, what's wrong with her?" she called me over to the bed and told me to sit down next to her. "She's been hit with something hard, maybe a concussion, her heart is really weak right, she's been poisoned with something strange, like she inhaled it, we haven't been able to figure it out, none of our instruments could detect the scent, scientifically, nothing like this exists" she said and I automatically knew there was another alien with us, we weren't alone anymore.
"Typon" Izzy and I screamed at the same time. "What, you know what it is?" the nurse stared at us, I wasn't about to tell her, instead me and Isabel and Michael all ran out and straight into Maria. "Maria!!!" We all yelled together and she looked at us. "Is she okay", she asked and I grabbed her shoulders.
"Maria, stay with her, we will be right back, this is important, when we get back, we'll explain ok" she had no choice but to nod, and she did. We jumped in the car and went back to our house. Typon was a gas that existed only on our planet that much we knew from reading and what little memory we had. It was extremely toxic like an Expo marker times a million. If you inhaled it, you would die on the spot, Liz didn't because she wasn't an alien, but we were. I had a book at my house about it was why we were going back.
We all ran through the door at the same time and I reached for the key to my drawer, and got out the book. Izzy grabbed it and began reading. "...to cure Typon gas only alien powers can heal in the strongest levels..." she stopped no one had that much power, but I had to try. "I have to try and save her" Iz grabbed my shoulder and didn't let me go. "Max you'll kill yourself" she probably noticed the tears that were forming in my eyes. "I'll kill myself if I don't try Iz, if I try and she dies, I'll be sad, if I don't and she dies I'll kill myself because guilt will eat me alive, I would keep thinking I could do something, so if I die, make sure to tell Liz I love her" I swallowed hard and ran out the door with them close behind.
At the hospital, visiting hours were over and the light had gone out, it wouldn't keep me out. We found the window and I melted the lock on it. We jumped in with Michael as our lookout. Izzy held my hand, "You can do it Max" I held my hand, trembling above Liz and slowly placed it on her chest. I tried my best to heal her, but the pain that I felt in her heart was unbearable. The pain was partly mine because I could no longer hold myself up, my legs just went numb and I dropped to the floor. I couldn't loose her now.
(Isabel's P.O.V.)
Max was trying hard, I held his hand and he looked at me and smiled, so he did notice I was giving him my energy, I had to help. It lasted for a while until Liz's eyes finally flew open just as Max collapsed. She jumped up and grabbed his head. "Oh my god, Max," she looked up at me and asked "What's wrong with him, what happened" so many questions such long answers. "He healed you and his powers all gone" tears streamed down her face, I wondered whether I should hope for Max to come back or should I tell her his message.
(Liz's P.O.V.)
Still feeling lightheaded I pulled Max up to my chest and my tears poured down his hair. "Izzy, is he gonna be ok?" I asked hoping for a straight answer but she shrugged and held his hand in hers. "You really love him don't you?" she asked, the question surprised me but I didn't mind answering, "I did..." she stared at me blankly. "Did?" "Isabel, if he's engaged or married, we can't be together, but the worst part is..." I didn't finish, I couldn't let her know what had happened. "What...Liz tell me now, this might change the whole situation if it's something extreme" I had to tell her, I didn't want anything bad to happen. "Something kind of happened, got a little carried away..." I didn't have to finish, she was smart enough to know my answer. "Oh my god Liz, this is really not good, it won't change anything, but you should have asked me, Max is very stupid sometimes, are you okay though, my god you were so unprepared" I was just now surprised. "Iz, it usually is like that, but I do not by a bit regret what happened, I love Max with all my heart, and now that I know that we can't be together..." tears flooded my mouth and I couldn't finish. She held me for a while in her arms as we both prayed for Max to wake up, soon we were out, and Max was in my arms once more, the way I wanted it to be, but not the way it should be, that much I knew.
Notes: Hope you likes that, I know it's a little complicated but it should get clearer and with a little less excitement in a chapter or 2 so R&R PLZZ!!!
