Chapter 14: Part Two: True Love.
Jade cried out as the bullet pierced her stomach, and she fell on her back. She felt someone holding her tightly. Timothy, he had broken free and ran to her.
"Jade no! Please!" he begged. Jade coughed, The possessed Ed stepped back, eyes wide. She heard frantic limping and saw a blur of black and paleness. "Joanna! Jade! You can't do this! Not now!" Oswald was crying, begging, clutching her to him, tightly, not even caring about the blood getting on his suit. Jade made a groan and weakly pushed him away. "Os...Oswald...D-don't worry about me...go to Ed...That's why i did this...P-please.." she said, coughing up blood. Oswald shook his head, taking his coat off and wrapping it around her. "Jade please! I can't lose you again! You're my baby sister!" Oswald cried. Jade kept pushing him away. "Oswald...it's okay...save the world...for mom...dad..and me.." Jade coughed as the light started to fade from her eyes. With the last of her strength, she pressed her hand against his, giving him her crystal pendant. "Go save...the one you love..." Jade coughed and gasped, her eyes widening, before they finally rolled into the back of her head, and she went still. Oswald paled. "Jade...Jade JADE!" he tried to wake her up, tears pouring from his icy eyes. She was gone. Just as soon as he had found his little sister again, she was gone. Dead. Her life exchanged for his. Isabella cackled cruelly. "Aww poor thing! It seems like everyone you ever loved or cared about ends up dead! Or eventually hates you! Maybe you should've left Gotham!" she sneered. At those words, Oswald growled, his entire body shaking with rage. "How...Dare...You." He seethed, eyes flashing dangerously. Suddenly, he stood up and turned to her, eyes black as coal. Oswald looked dangerously furious, as he limped toward her. "First you take the man I love!" Oswald came at her with his cane, and hit her in the face with it, hard. Isabella coughed up blood, and spat it out, backing up. "Then you murdered my sister!" Another hit, Isabella staggered, surprised and tried fighting back, only for Oswald to overpower her, his energy rising to dangerous levels. Oswald stormed toward her, whacking her hard again. "YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE I KILLED? DO YOU?" Oswald shouted, black energy bursting from his fingers, hitting Isabella who screamed loudly. Oswald grabbed her by her hair and forced her against the wall. "YOU'RE DEAD NOW!" Oswald grabbed the blade from his cane and slashed her stomach open, black liquid pouring out. Isabella screamed and fell back, dangerously close to the ledge. "You..can't...defeat me.." she croaked out, Oswald laughed madly. "I can't? WATCH THIS BITCH!" Oswald charged like a bull, grabbing Isabella and stabbing her. Right in the heart. She let out a loud demonic scream, and Oswald aimed a gun at her head and fired, she fell back, bullet in her head and fell to her death.
Oswald watched her body fall to the fiery depths of hell, breathing heavily. He dropped the gun and turned towards the possessed and enraged Ed. Ed attempted to attack Oswald, only for him to pin him down. "Ed...listen to me...i have something to tell you.. something i should've said before.." Ed seemed to be struggling, fighting the demon inside. Oswald kept a firm grip on him. "Ed...I...I...I love you! so much! I was afraid to tell you but...i did now.." Oswald debated his next move and without a moment of hesitation, Oswald forced his lips to Ed's in a fiery passionate kiss, putting everything he couldn't put into words into it. He felt Ed's body shake a little, and a bright glow surrounded them. Oswald pulled away and watched Ed shake and seize as the demon finally broke, Ed regaining control. Ed's eyes closed for a moment and Oswald ran to him, holding him tightly. "Ed? Ed wake up! Please!" Oswald begged. Ed's eyes fluttered and slowly opened, looking at Oswald in disbelief. "O-Oswald? I-is it really...i didn't.." Edward stammered, his brown eyes looking into Oswald's icy blue ones.
"You didn't. It's over Ed. We're safe." Oswald said in a shaky yet relieved voice. Edward sighed smiling a little, until he saw Jade, dead. "Oh god...I killed her...I killed your sister!" Ed cried. Oswald shook his head, "You didn't. It's okay." Oswald held him close, crying. Edward held him tightly. "Oswald..I...I..I love you...I have since the first time i saw you.." Edward sobbed. Oswald held him and smiled. "I love you too Ed.." He whispered. Oswald sighed, then felt his crystal waver. "Jade...I..can bring her back.." Oswald whispered. Edward looked at him, nervous. "A-are you sure..? Oswald...she might not be the same.." Edward replied. Oswald had a stubborn look on his face. "I have to! She's my sister, Ed." Oswald insisted. He limped toward Jade's corpse, and knelt down at her side. Timothy was shaking with sobs, holding her now cold hand. Oswald slowly took her crystal pendant and put it over her heart, taking his own glowing red one, and put his hand over the wound on her stomach and closed his eyes in concentration. 'Breathe, Jade. Breathe. Come back.' suddenly, a bright light shone from his hands and directed at the wound, slowly mending it, her blood flowing once more. Oswald winced as he continued the spell, his energy flowing in her, giving her breath. Soon Oswald, cried out, energy drained and exhausted. He looked at Jade, begging for her to live. Jade's hand twitched, everyone watched, eyes full of hope. Supergirl held Victor's hand, biting her lip and trying not to cry. Victor had a hint of worry in his eyes masking it well.
Edward stood on the sidelines, brows creased, and biting his knuckles. Soon, Jade let out a loud gasp, as she woke up. "Wha..?" she slowly sat up, the Squad each squealed all at once, Oswald smiling brightly, Supergirl ecstatic, Victor smirking. Edward let out a loud squeal. "Its over Jade! We did it!" Timothy kissed her cheek and Oswald hugged her tightly, crying a little. "We did it Jade! We saved the world!"
Soon the squad parted ways, Jade and Timothy smiling as Oswald and Edward kissed again, both very happy. Ed even hugged her! Jade looked up at the moon, smiling to herself. "I'm glad its finally over." she whispered. "So you may think..." Jade gasped and turned around, a ghostly Kristen Kringle smirking at her. "Be careful little witch...Isabella isn't the only monster in this city...Evil never dies.." Jade felt her eyes widen as Kristen disappeared.
The End...Or is it? ;)
