"Nadie! Nadie! Please don't leave me!" Ellis cried as she held the lifeless body in her arms. She kissed the lips as she felt the warmth that had encompassed her millions of times before, start to disappear.
Jody stood behind Ellis as she watched with sorrow. She held Jayden close to her as the younger woman cried and grabbed onto to her tightly without any intent of letting her go.
'I love you Nadie, please don't go. I need you. I would give anything to keep you by my side…please…' At that instance a glow surrounded Ellis and Nadie like it had before in Wiñay Marka, except that this time, it was different.
Jody and Jayden stood back as they watched how the eerie glow first surrounded both, but as Ellis continued crying, completely unaware of the light around her, the glow began to leave her body and began to surround only Nadie's body. Ellis was oblivious to this since her eyes were closed as she cried onto Nadie's body, but when the glow departed from her completely, she gasped and was thrown back by an invisible force. The same force threw Jody and Jayden backwards, but they were shocked as they saw the light completely engulf Nadie, and levitating her slightly from the ground.
Ellis tried to run towards Nadie but was pushed back every time by a force field that surrounded her. Ellis kept running back to Nadie to be thrown back again and again until Jody had to grab her and keep her locked in her arms so that the blonde would not harm herself.
The three watched as Nadie slowly began to descend and the light began to disappear inside of her, as if her body were absorbing the energy. Once the light had been completely gone, Ellis pushed out of Jody's lock to grab Nadie as she came down.
"Nadie!" The crying resumed since Ellis tried to shake the girl awake but it was to no avail. Her hopes that the light meant her returning to life were shattered when Nadie remained without responding.
Jody and Jayden, whose hopes had also died decided it would be better for them to leave the place before guards appeared, or something worse. Jody, with Jayden holding her hand, walked towards Ellis and grabbed her shoulder, "Ellis, we have to go."
"No! I won't leave! I can't leave!" Ellis screamed with tears as she held Nadie. "You go, I will stay here, with her," Ellis buried her face in Nadie's long mane. "Leave," she said in a muffled voice.
"Ellis, we can't leave you behind we-" The next sound froze Jody.
"Ellis…" the soft voice came from Nadie as she moved her hand to caress the Ellis' soft hair that rested in her shoulder.
"Na-Nadie…" Ellis looked up to meet the sweet gaze from Nadie. "I love you…" Nadie spoke softly before her body began to burn inside her. An immense heat began to overtake her as she felt her insides burning.
"Aaaaahh!!!!" Ellis froze on the spot when she heard Nadie's scream. Jody quickly rushed to her side, "Ellis, we have to take her to the hospital, she's injured." Ellis nodded and grabbed Nadie before rushing to the nearest hospital.
'You're going to be okay Nadie, I promise you. I promise you.'
"E…Ellis…" Nadie opened her eyes slowly when she felt the warm touch that grabbed her hand. "I'm here Nadie. I'm here."
Nadie smiled softly, "I know Ellis. Thank you." Ellis smiled without releasing the hand and watched as Nadie drifted off to sleep again since she had been sedated.
Jody opened the door, "Ellis, come here a second." Ellis nodded and went outside where Jody was talking to a doctor with Jayden sitting at her side with a couple of bandages.
"This is Doctor Zevilla, Ellis." Jody said as he motioned to the doctor she was talking to. "Dr. Zevilla, this is Ellis, Nadie's partner."
"Pleasure to meet you Miss Ellis," Dr. Zevilla said as he extended his hand, which Ellis took cautiously. "I just wanted to inform you that we ran some exams on Nadie and it seems that she is fine, except for the fact that there is an incredible amount of an unknown substance in her body running through her blood. We are not sure what it is but we have already sent it to the lab and we should be getting the results soon. We have decided to take her to the Intensive Care Unit so that we can deal with this substance."
Tears pooled on Elli's eyes, "But why? Why can't I take her with me?"
"I am afraid that this is a very serious matter, since it is not normal for an unknown substance to just appear on a person's body. She could be in danger if it turns out to be poisonous, so we have to take every caution we can." The doctor explained before looking up to Jody for help. "She'll be okay Ellis, it's just a precaution," Jody said, trying to calm Ellis.
Ellis nodded without looking up from the ground and walked into the room one more time before Nadie was taken. She stood by the bedside as her tears fell down, "Nadie," she whispered, although the older girl remained asleep. "I am sorry Nadie. I love you with all my heart, but this is my fault. I'm sorry…"
Wiping her tears with the back of her hand, she leaned down to kiss Nadie's lips. "I love you" she said before turning to a small table where a small notepad sat beside a pen, which was courtesy of the hospital. She wrote quickly before folding the small note and placing it under Nadie's hand.
'I'm sorry…' Ellis turned to smile at Nadie's sleeping figure before walking towards the large window and jumping down without hassle. Sometimes having superhuman abilities was definitely a plus. She landed gracefully and began to run away as fast as her legs would carry her.
'I'm so sorry Nadie, I really am…'
"I love you…I'm sorry." Nadie's eyes snapped open as she woke from a nightmare. She was sweating and breathing heavily. In her nightmare, Ellis had left.
"Ellis?" She tried to sit in the bed but was too weak and stopped when she felt a hand in her shoulder. "Nadie, lie down, you need to rest." Jody said as she helped the younger woman to rest back on her pillow.
"Where is Ellis?" Nadie asked, looking around and noticing that Jayden, who was sleeping on the chair, and Jody where the only ones with her. The fear from her nightmare began to crawl back to her body.
Her heart clenched when she saw Jody look away without answering. "Where is she?" Nadie repeated her question, this time her voice came out as more of a whisper, since tears had begun to fall her face.
"She…she left…" Jody replied as she took the note Ellis had left from her pocket. The note had fallen from Nadie's bed when she was placed on ICU, and the doctors had returned it to her. She and Jayden where allowed to stay with Nadie after a long discussion with the doctor until he finally agreed to let them in.
"She left you this," Jody said as she extended her hand to deliver the note. Nadie took the note with a shaky hand and unfolded it quickly.
Nadie,
If you are reading this, then it means you are okay, and I'm glad. I am sorry this had to happen, but it is for the best. Everyone I care and love always end up getting hurt, or dead when I'm around them, and I don't want that for you. This already happened once, and now again, and we shouldn't test our luck. I love you and I always will, and that is why it is better for me to go. Please, be happy even if it's without me.
Love you Always,
Ellis
"Th-This can't be. This can't be…" Nadie said as her voice was cut with sobs. She crumbled the letter and pulled it close to her chest. "Tell me this isn't happening," Nadie cried, but Jody looked away, unable to meet her request. She herself had been surprised when she had read it since when the doctor had entered the room after Ellis, she was gone. Jody had thought about not showing her the letter, but it was for the best.
At that moment, the doctor entered. "Miss Nadie, we have the results of your lab exam…" The doctor trailed off when he saw that his patient was in tears. Nadie rubbed away the tears with the back of her hand, "wh-what is it Doctor?" she asked.
"Well, I just wanted to inform you that the last exams we took show the substance foreign to your body has disappeared," Dr. Zevilla explained. "Oh that's great," Jody said relieved. "Yes, and since we never got any information as to what it was, and Nadie is still alive, we are supposing it was not dangerous, but we do have other good news."
Nadie did not even look up, no news could be good right now. "Miss Nadie," The doctor began with a smile, "You are pregnant!"
Nadie turned to the doctor sharply, "What?! That can't be!" The doctor chuckled, "I'm sorry Miss Nadie but it can. The labs we sent in after the substance was gone show that you are indeed pregnant. I am guessing that didn't show up in the first ones because the substance must of interfered with the results."
"Doctor," Jody asked nervously, "How far along is she?"
"Actually, she is in the beginning of the first trimester." When Nadie heard all this, after having sat up on the bed from the news, she plopped down on it again. "Nadie, are you okay?" Jody asked concerned, rushing to her side.
"No." Nadie replied as she turned towards the window, pulling the covers over her face. After giving the news, the doctor left. "Don't worry Nadie, we'll take care of you…" Jody said softly as she touched the girl's shoulder lightly. Nadie did not respond as she began to sob, only peeking her eyes from the covers to look out the window.
'Ellis…if you love me…why did you leave? Why did you leave me and your child?' Nadie was confused, her head spinning from finding out Ellis had left and now that she was pregnant, but something deep in her heart told her that the child she was expecting was Ellis'. She didn't know how that was possible, but she was sure.
The child she had growing inside of her was a part of Ellis, and she would not allow Ellis to miss out on the miracle.
'I will find you Ellis. I will find you and bring you home.'
