CHRNO CRUSADE: PATH OF THE GREEN MILE

ACT ONE, SCENE SEVEN: A DISEASE AND THE SPECIAL GIFT

"It's so good of you to come," said the woman in charge of the orphanage. "We get very little visitors these days."

"It's good to be here," Azmaria said.

"These biscuits fine as well," John said.

Azmaria and John were invited inside to join in on an afternoon snack. The woman in charge of the orphanage was Ms. Gene.

"Natasha, why don't you get some more for our guests?" Ms. Gene asked.

"Sure! I'd be happy to. I'll be right back." Natasha trotted over to the kitchen.

"She's sure a happy little girl," John said.

"Yes, too bad it won't last any longer," Ms. Gene said sadly.

"What do you mean?" Azmaria asked.

"You see, when Natasha came to the orphanage, she was very sick. We took care of her the best we could. Doctors suspected it was cancer."

"Cancer!" Azmaria shot up and yelled. "Are you certain? There must be some mistake…"

"I wish I was wrong, but we aren't. Natasha only has a month to live."

"Did you tell her," John asked.

"Yes…so she's making the best of it. Please don't tell her I told you."

"Why not," Azmaria asked.

"Because she didn't want anyone to worry; she would be very sad. She only wants her friends to be happy…"

An odd silence filled the room.

"I'm back!" Natasha said.

"Ah! Natasha!" Azmaria cried.

"I brought more biscuits! Here, have some!"
She laid them out on a plate. They ate some more until they could eat no more.

"I can't eat another bit," Azmaria said.

"I reckon I can eat a few more," John said.

"John, stop stuffing yourself!"

"I guess you'll be leaving now," Natasha said.

"Yeah, we'll find a place to stay."

"How about if you stayed here?" Ms. Gene said. "I know the beds are not much but they're better than sleeping on concrete."

As Ms. Gene and some people of the orphanage were setting up the bed, John pulled Azmaria aside.

"It's a shame about Natasha's sickness," Azmaria said.

"………"

"And there is no cure for cancer…"

"………"

"What's wrong?"

"I can…help her…"

"What?"

"I said I could help her."

"That's crazy, John! You're crazy!"

"Please, is there a place where we can all go without being seen?"

"Why would you want to do that?"

"I gots to keep it a secret," John whispered.

Azmaria looked at him wildly and answered, "Okay. I'll tell her to meet us at the living room at 12:00 midnight."

The three met up in the living room at 12:00 P.M. Everyone but John didn't know what was going on.

"Why are we here?" Natasha said.

"I don't know," Azmaria said. "It was John's idea."

"I know about your sickness," John said.

"Then you know I don't have that long to live."

"If you want, I can help you."

"There is no cure for cancer."

"Please, give me a try."

Natasha looked into John's eyes and John look into hers.

"Okay," she whispered.

"Please, lie on the couch."

Natasha lied on the couch.

"Now close your eyes."

She closed her eyes. Gently, John moved over to her, placing his mouth open. Almost simultaneously, Natasha's mouth began to open. Then it began to glow. The glow got brighter and brighter. Little streams of lights passed from Natasha's mouth to John's mouth. After the ordeal, John coughed violently.

"John!" Azmaria cried.

John opened his mouth, and little bugs started to fly out of him. They quickly turned into puffs of smoke and disappeared. John panted really hard.

"What did you do to me?" Natasha asked.

"I healed you," John replied.

"Why did you do it?"

"You're a sweet girl. I'd hate for your life to be wasted like that."

Morning began to break, and the sun rose from the horizon.
