Suddenly Onyx opened her eyes and felt along her spine. She frowned, The bleeding's stopped…does this mean I'm still alive?

She looked up, How the hell? I should be dead!

Suddenly Knives burst into the room and her expression brightened, "Knives! You made it! I'm alive!"

A terrible look of agony crossed Knives's features as his lavender eyes filled with tears, "Onyx…oh god no."

Onyx took a step toward him, "Knives, what's the matter? It's not as bad as it—?!" Suddenly, Knives broke into a run and ran right through her.

(Oh my god, Onyx! No! Come on Onyx, open your eyes! Don't leave me Onyx!!)

Stunned, the bounty hunter stared at her bloodstained hands, H-he ran right through me…but you can't pass through solid matter— Her gray eyes widened in sudden, horrifying realization, Unless I'm not solid matter anymore?!

Behind her, she heard Knives's near hysterical sobbing, "Onyx! Come back Onyx! Don't leave me all alone like this! You promised me, Onyx!!"

Sinking to her knees, Onyx put her head in her hands, I can't bring myself to turn around…I'm afraid of what I'll see if I do… she shook her head, Knives stop it. Stop talking…please just stop it Knives; just stop! I'm dead, dammit! I'm not coming back; I can't help it!! Just stop crying Knives, you damned fool! Oh god…I don't need to hear this! Dammit…
