John looked over to Angela and then to the monitor, he got up and quickly walked over to the nurse's station to help with the alarm. Angela sat in the room and watched as Nathan's body began to go threw numerous twitches and jumps.
"NO!" she yelled jumping up and resting her hands on his shoulders to hold him still. "YOU CAN'T HAVE HIM! HE'S MINE! I WON'T LET YOU TAKE HIM!"
John re-entered the room and locked the door behind him, he then grabbed the curtains and covered the glass windows up. Slowly making his way to Nathan's side, he moved Angela out of the way and started talking in Latin.
"The nurses will come." She mumbled as tears fell down her face.
"I didn't get them I turned back around, the only way they'll know is if they're monitoring him." And as if on cue a knock came at the door, followed by an attempt to open the door and then a pounding.
"Mrs. Constantine," Margaret yelled, "please open up, Nathan needs our assistance."
"John what do I do?" she asked frantically.
"Sit down and hold his hand, talk to him, call his name. Let him know your still here and won't let him go."
"alright." She said taking a seat and grabbing his hand. She looked up to John who stood on the opposite said with a charm against his head. "Hi, Nathan, it's me Angela. Nathan I know your scared, but please don't leave me, please come back, don't go. I love you." She said crying, it was true she had barely known the boy, but she felt as if she knew him his whole life.
"Keep talking Angela, he's coming closer."
"Nathan, please come back, please open your eyes. Please don't leave me." she brought his cold hand to her head and let the tears run freely.
The nurses had given up on the knocking and pounding and left to find to find a security guard. All was silent from the outside, until the door opened and a man walked in. his face was half decayed and an ugly smile rested on his lips.
"Hello Angela." He spoke looking to her. "It's me Jake."
"Jake, I told you to leave." She said growing upset; John looked to him, but stayed at Nathan's side.
"I can't do that Angie, he doesn't belong with you, he belongs with me, his father." Jake said slowly putting his hand in his pocket, searching for something.
All of a sudden the monitor stopped going off and ceased, the sound offering an uncomfortable silence to the room, John looked down the child and spoke.
"He's back. He should be up soon."
"you take everything away from me Angie, your sister, John, and now my son, but I'm going to take everything back, I'm not walking out of here with one of you still breathing, someone's going to die." Jake said withdrawing his hand from his pocket and showing a pistol. He raised it and aimed it at Nathan. "And I'm taking the one hell really wants." The gun then moved to John.
John backed away from Nathan, knowing if the trigger was pulled he would want the child to be safe, so Angela wouldn't loose him too. The gun was raised to his head and he could feel his life already coming to an end, he only wished he was still welcomed into the house of the lord. Slowly the trigger was pulled and a loud scream was heard.
"NO!" Angela yelled and jumped in front of John. The distant sound of metal meeting flesh could be heard, soon by the sound of 110 lbs hitting a marble floor.
Angela Dodson had been hit and her vision had become foggy, the nurses had found a security guard and they had managed to get the gun away from Jake and in cuffs. She could feel John at her side picking her off of the floor and holding her in his arms, he looked down into her face as for the first time in so many years a tear fell from his eye and down his face.
Angela looked up and forced a smile, she was dying, but she somehow felt happy, her nephew was safe for now and as long as nothing went wring Nathan could find a home. Fighting for the last bit of consciousness she heard a very faded and distant cry.
"MOMMY!" the voice yelled. John brought his gaze form Angela to Nathan and smiled at the young boy who was now alive to the world. He looked down once more and pulled Angela close for a hug.
"I love you" he whispered and that was all Angela got before all went black.
