So what'd y'all thought of that last chapter? 772 words! I hope this one will satisfy your needs!
Everyone stared at Evie in shock. Finally, Uma asked,
"Are you sure?" Evie nodded, turning away from the group. She was waiting, dreading about the boys' reactions.
"The same Hades that tried to kill her last week?" Carlos double-checked. Evie nodded slowly. Jay growled.
"I'm gonna kill that son of a gun..." he started to stomp off to do exactly that, but Gil held him back, trying to calm him down a bit by talking about penguins. Jay released a small bit of anger understanding that Gil was trying to calm him down before he does something he'll regret, like terrify Carlos and Evie. Or kill Hades. Though he wasn't quite sure how he'd regret that.
Once Jay was calm, everyone turned to Ben waiting for the beast mode to come; Ben just stood there. When he finally looked up at Evie, he asked softly,
"Why didn't she tell me?" His eyes filled with tears, his voice breaking in sadness that his girl-fiance didn't tell him about this. Evie's own eyes filled seeing her best friend's love so sad and disappointed.
"I don't know," she whispered. Everyone was silent after Evie's admission. No one else knew how to react to it. Uma finally spoke, speaking the question that was undoubtedly on everyone's mind.
"But why did she call for the god of the underworld, which, by the way, is filled with dead people?" Nobody had an answer for that. All of a sudden they hear an agonized scream.
"DAD!" Mal screamed. She started shaking and thrashing. Her eyelids kept fluttering and her eyes rolled to the back of her head.
"MAL!" Carlos, Jay, Evie, Uma, and Ben shouted. Everyone quickly ran over to her side.
"Mal!" Carlos tried to shake her awake but with no avail. She ended up hitting him with her arms that were flung in different directions. Carlos stumbled back and was barely saved by Jay who pushed him back into balance. Carlos gave him a grateful smile then shook his head as a response to Jay's unasked question.
You hurt? Did the... flashbacks show?
I'm fine,Carlos silently answered. It was just an accident, she doesn't even know what's happening or what she doing. Jay nodded knowing that Carlos was fine. He didn't need anything.
Meanwhile, Gil was calling for a nurse while Harry, Uma, Evie, and Ben were trying to hold Mal down so she wouldn't hurt herself. They weren't having the best of luck. Once they got one limb done, it would just fling itself back upwards again. When a nurse finally arrived, Mal's eyes opened. Just barely to look at Ben's.
"Get him...Ben. Or...else... all is...lost...Hurry...!" she whispered. Then she smiled, a soft tiny curl at the corners of her mouth. Her eyes then slowly closed with Ben's pleading painfilled ones trying desperately to hold her to this side of consciousness. She whispered one last thing as her eyes closed, perhaps for the last time.
"I love you too Ben..."
