20. Chapter 19: Check-Up

EDWARD P.O.V

My mind became clear. I had no idea what happened just now, but when I took a side glance at my automail, blood covered it. I looked down and saw Xena, blood covered her. What did I do?!

I fell to my knees and held her in my arms, her face getting more flush. Tears filled my eyes. I couldn't believe what I just committed. Alex found me, clutching Xena's body. I told her what happened and I thought her face was going to turn red, she got so mad. "Pick her up. I know someone who's magic is greater than mine that can fix this." I did as I was told as Alex pulled out a crystal shard.

She put her free hand on my left shoulder and whispered something under her breath.

Soon, we were in a town where night was the only time of day; Traverse Town.

Alex clicked on her chip. "Leon? It's Al. Look, it's an emergency. Bring Merlin to the Red Room in the 3rd District." She clicked off her chip and led me to a vacant Inn.

Entering the Red Room . . . it's literally called what it's called. I laid Xena on the bed. God, just looking at her made tears build up. I couldn't believe I did this to her.

ALEX P.O.V

After Merlin fixed up Xena, he told me her later condition. "You're lucky you brought her here as fast as you did. She shouldn't be alive after all the blood she lost. Until she awaken, she'll be in her mortal state."

"How long will she be out?"

"She's in an induced coma. But there's something about her that strikes me. She has an uncommon pulse of light emitting from her."

"What does that mean?"

"It means that there are other methods of her awakening. But I'm sure you'll find a way." And with that, he was gone.

I walked back into the room, seeing Ed holding Xena's hand, grief written on his face. I sat next to him. "You shouldn't beat yourself up about this, Ed. It wasn't your fault."

"But I can't take it back."

"Because it wasn't you who did this. Anyway, I have to go back to see if your brother is safe." I pulled Xena's Unit from Ed's coat pocket, which stopped ticking. "As long as you have this, she'll be alright." After so, I left.
