Nya felt as though she had shut her mind to everything for a moment. Just a moment, nothing more.
She tried to move her hand, nothing happened.
Opening her eyes were a struggle.
Try as she may, she can't move her body.
She may not be able to see or move, but she can hear.
A female voice, somewhat familiar to her, was saying "...unfortunately, it's been 5 weeks since the accident. I'm afraid we will have to take her off of life support."
She heard a male voice gasp gently. She noted the tone of panic in his voice. "No...you can't. Sh-she will get better."
She recalls hearing his voice before.
Isn't that Jay? She thought.
The female spoke again. "Mr. Walker, I am sorry. We have done everything we can to bring her back. There's nothing we can do," she said sadly.
"I told you this was all my fault!" The man—Jay screamed angrily. He kicked the chair forcefully, then Nya heard footsteps, and assumed Jay had walked out of the room.
Why was Jay blaming himself? What was he blaming himself for?
Who is Jay?
A robotic male voice spoke. "As far as I can remember, patients in a coma can still hear us. Am I correct?"
"Yes Mr. Julien," the female voice spoke.
"Zane, can you go out and talk to Jay? I'm sure he would be pleased to hear this information," the deep voice of a male said.
"Sure thing, Cole," the robot—Zane said.
She heard footsteps again, and the door shutting gently.
Why can't I move! I can't see what's going on, and who those people are! She screamed internally. She tried to hard to fight it, to fight the resistance.
But she couldn't.
While she was trying to overcome the mysterious force, the female spoke again. "She will be taken off life support at 7 pm. From now until then, you can say your goodbyes," she spoke solemnly.
"Thank you, nurse," a high pitched male voice said.
The nurse left the room. The first male—Kai, she recalled, said, "Lloyd, we have only an hour or so until they take her off of life support. We should probably call Zane and Jay in before she—before—"
Kai choked up, and collapsed onto a chair. "Why did this happened," Kai said, muffled by an object Nya assumed was his hands. She heard sobs. Desperate ones. Ones she could not bare to hear.
She wished she could go up to Kai and soothe him. What's wrong, she would say. Why are you crying? Can I help you feel better?
Who are you?
The male with the higher pitched voice—Lloyd, she assumed, spoke gravely, "I'll tell them to come in." He slipped out of the room.
Why is Lloyd going to call them over to say goodbye to me? I'm not leaving!
She waited for a response. Nothing.
Why can't they hear me? She thought angrily.
Someone help me! I'm stuck! I'm still here, I'm not going! Someone—her rage dissolved into tears, and she started to cry.
Why won't anyone help me? What's wrong with me?—
The door opened once again, and she heard agonizing sobs.
The kind that were full of misery.
Hopeless sobs.
She couldn't take it anymore. Everything was too much for her—
She heard her hair rustle beside her ear. "I'm going to miss you, Nya," Cole whispered.
"I remember when you took the perfect match test, how confused you were. You knew Jay loves you, but you still believed that I was your perfect match," he whispered.
"I knew it would be so awkward between us, especially since we are brother and sister. But I didn't want to lose you by saying that I don't love you; because I do, just not in the same way Jay loves you. I just wanted you to know—" he sniffled, "I just wanted you to know how I feel about you before you left me forever."
"I love you, and I will miss you so much, Water Lily," his voice cracked up. Cole moved his hand from her hair, and stood up from her hospital bed, knowing he will never see her again.
She heard him leave the room. She felt a rush of grief engulf her body. Cole was talking to her as if he had known her for her whole life, when she didn't even remember who he was.
Zane and Lloyd both stood beside Nya side-by-side. Lloyd spoke first. "Nya, if it weren't for you, I would be a fat little boy who would not have been able to destroy the overlord. You took my candy," he said solemnly. He reached out, and held her hand.
"But you know what, I'm happy you did, because now, I'm not fat, which gives me the advantage of being able to fight. You were like a mother to me, a mother I hadn't known I had until now. I'm so thankful for that. I hope you remember how much you affected me, my life. I'll miss you," he said.
Zane spoke next. "When I first joined the group, I recall that you were not a ninja, like us. Nonetheless, you accepted me and my peculiar behaviour. I was not used to being around people, and suddenly joining a group of ninja certainly did not help."
"I will not forget your compassion and acceptance. But most importantly, I will not forget you. I wish you all the best in the next step of your life."
He and Lloyd walked out of the room, leaving Kai, Jay and Nya all alone.
Kai took slow steps towards his sister. It almost looked as though he was afraid. Afraid of what was coming next. Afraid of losing the last family he had.
"Nya," he said, then started sobbing, hugging his motionless sister. "I'm so sorry—I feel hopeless without you. All those years after our parents died—you were the only reason why I kept going. You were so small—" he couldn't contain his sobs. He didn't recall crying like this before.
So hopelessly desperate.
He sniffled, "I'm going to miss you so much, Nya. I love you."
He reluctantly tore himself away from his sister's body, and walked out of the room.
Nya couldn't hold back her tears, she felt them fall down her cheek.
Jay remained in his spot, staring at his love's lifeless body. He noticed the tears falling from her eyes. He walked towards her, and gently wiped the tears with his hands gently. He sat beside her and held her hand.
"Nya, why?" He asked her.
Why are you crying about me, Jay?
Who am I?
"I remember what you said when we were almost captured by Nadakhan's crew, before you poured the traveller's tea. You said you knew we were meant to be together."
Wait...
"From that point, I knew it was the end. I knew we were both going to die." Jay struggled to suppress the tears. "But we did it. We survived."
I—I can remember...
"I don't know how we did it, but we did, and I was ecstatic. Heck, I felt like I was given another chance to live for real."
Jay—I know who you are...
"And I just ruined it. I ruined my last chance at having a happy life. I—" he broke down, weeping.
No—I can do it. I can overcome this—force. I can—do—it... Nya tried to move her body or open her eyes, she fought so hard.
But she couldn't do it.
Her anger reduced into tears, which slipped out of her closed eyes.
"I just wanted to ask you two things," he whispered gently, like he was afraid to wake Nya. "First of all, will you forgive me?"
Why would I ever say no?
"I am such an idiot, and I regret everything I did to hurt you." He paused. "I can't believe myself," he said, throwing his hands up, "why the heck would you forgive me for what I did?"
No, no, no, Jay...
"I'm just going to leave it at that," he said with a brittle voice. He held her hand, and took a shaky breath. "I'm sorry I ever doubted your skill, I was just worried about you, and I should have trusted you more."
I'm sorry I left you here alone.
"I hope you know how much I love you. I love your voice in the morning, I love your beautiful smile, I love your confident personality, I love every little bit about you. You're absolutely perfect in my eyes," he whispered softly. "Will you mar—can you please m—never mind, you would never agree anyways."
Jay—of course I would say yes, I love you too. You mean the world to mean.
"I will miss you so much," he whispered.
Please don't leave me here, Jay...please.
"Goodbye, love." He planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, and let go of her hand for the last time in his life. Tears were streaming uncontrollably down his cheeks, as he was overcome by the sorrow of talking to the love of his life for the last time.
He walked out of the room, just as the nurse was coming in. "Are you all ready?" She said.
The ninja nodded.
Of course, one would be able to know that was a lie.
No one would ever be ready for the death of family.
I swear I'm not that evil when it comes to killing characters
*in the distance* This person's lying!
Me: *gulps*
I was crying when I was writing this, so I am hoping this chapter is sad enough! (but, I mean, I am pretty emotional in the first place XD)
