Ch.4-Truth takes time
Eric slowly walked in to room 447, the room that
was at the moment occupied by Aliasa. He took a deep breath and
entered the room. What he saw made him very angry at Sark but happy
to know she would live, even if just for a while. He walked over to
her bedside and just talked to her knowing somehow she could hear
him. "Aliasa I know about what you have been hiding from me.
You're dying and you did not want me to get attached. You thought I
could not handle the news or deal with taking care of you, but I tell
you now I will make the rest of your life very comfortable and
happy."
Vaughn then entered the room; "They have Lauren
and Sark in custody. Dixson wants us there in fifteen minutes. Eric
she'll wake up and then maybe she'll tell you herself what's
happening, right now you must come with me."
"Alright,
but I want guards posted at her door, just in case."
"They're
already here."
"Thank you."
Fifteen minutes
later Vaughn, Eric, and Dixson came to question Lauren and Sark.
"Mr.
Sark, why did you capture Miss Aliasa Li-Din?"
"Her name
for one isn't even Aliasa Li-Din. She is a direct descendent of
Rambaldi. Her real name is Aliasa Maria Mirabella Lena Rambaldi. She
is his seer; the one of his bloodline that will make sure his
prophecy comes true. We were going to use that to our advantage,
figure out how it would happen, how we could be a part of it, and
then when it was all over we would have had killed her."
"You
know that she is dying then?"
"She has been dying for
three years. The only reason she is still alive is her mother
injected enough Rambaldi fluid into her system to keep her alive. It
has been wearing off for days now and once it finally wears off it
would be a matter of days until she would die. Then everything
Rambaldi wrote would never come true." Lauren said.
"How
long until it wears off?"
"48 Hours."
"She
will be awake by then hopefully we might be able to do something to
keep her alive."
"There is nothing you can do. She is
dying and that is how it has to be."
42 hours
later
Aliasa woke up afraid that she was still in her dark little
room. Though when she saw Eric she knew everything was okay.
"Hi
Eric."
"Hey, how do you feel?"
"Tired."
"That's
funny because you have been sleeping for the last 42 hours."
"Eric
there is something I need to tell you. I'm dy.dying. Have been for a
really long time. I didn't want to tell you because you would be
stopping me from helping you and you would send me into hiding. I
can't live like that."
"I already knew you were dying. I
also know you are a direct descendent of Rambaldi and that your
parents were followers."
"Well that was going to be the
next thing I was going to tell you but since you already know I'll
leave it at that."
"Aliasa how are you so calm about
this?"
"Eric when you have been dying for three years
you learn to deal and live life like nothing is wrong. Just live like
a normal person."
One week later
"Aliasa.Aliasa?"
"Eric
I'm in here."
"Oh thank God."
"Is there
something you wanted?"
Eric then walked over to Aliasa, "Will
you marry me?"
