Kaelah fell unconscious on her shoulder, still alive, however, she could not say how much longer it would last, because the pallor and the low body temperature she had, was enough to know that she did not have much time longer.
She sighed hugging her, wanting to delay that moment enough for them to reach the DEO, so they could save her, or at least try. Although at the moment what worried her most was that she did not come alive, that her sister did not have the chance to say goodbye, to say to her one last time she loved her, but above all to supplicate her not to leave. And true was that right now she wish she could have done it herself, because it was so unfair.
It had been only a few months since Kaelah had arrived, that she had become a large part of the life of everyone around her, that she had brought the memories with her, those Kara needed so much. She could go on listing, but there was simply a reason, that girl deserved to live.
Soon they tried to stabilize her in the DEO, to put the antidote in an attempt to save her, to keep her alive, however, her vital signs did not cease to weaken, to such an extent that she knew, there was nothing more to do, she was leaving, so she caressed her cheek grateful that she was not suffering.
She raised her head to meet the look of her sister, who waited outside without daring to enter, crying, suffering more than anyone else what was happening, so she went outside to try to convince her.
"Kara, you should go inside, be with her," she suggested in a whisper.
Her sister shook her head, but she did not give up, she continued to convince her until she got it, until she entered that room, standing on her other side, watching as she stroked her hair while she sobbed.
"Kaelah ..." she sobbed. "I need you alive. I have lost ... so many things, I ... I lost you" she said grabbing her hand. "But I got you and ... and I can't lose you again, no ... I can't forget you again," she said between tears. "Seriously, you can not leave, no ... don't go, "she begged caressing her cheek" It reassures me to know ... That you will be in the Light of Rao, that you will be with them, ... tell them ... tell them that I love them" she made a short pause before adding. "I love you and ... I will always do it. I can not, I'm sorry," she excused herself from the room, sobbing, making her want to go behind, but she could not, because she could not leave Kaelah alone.
She watched as the constants were worse, as heer breathing grew slower and slower, her heartbeat diminished, there was not much time left, she was going to leave, no matter how hard it was to accept it, at all.
"I don't think you're listening, I don't think you can do it, but if you do, please don't leave," she asked her by grabbing her hand. "Kara is not ready to lose you again, I'm not ready as well. I love you, and I can promise you that Kara will always be safe," she kissed her forehead listening as the machine began to whistle, so she turned it off, looking at her one last time before she walked out. "She's gone, Kara, I'm sorry." She hugged her allowing her to sob on her shoulder.
"It's not fair, Alex, it's not fair," she sobbed.
"I know, I know it is not fair, that should not have happened, that she did not deserve any of this" she hugged her with more strenght.
Her sister closed her eyes in tears, relaxing in part, sobbing again as the doctors entered the room to take the girl's lifeless body, causing her to grasp it tightly after her attempt to run to that table, to shout that they would not touch her, a fact to which they listened.
They left the body there, for Kara kept begging them not to take her away,which brought them back to that room, well to the door, however, it was not necessary to come much closer to identify the slight chest movement, she was breathing, was doing it.
The panic spread in the room, since no one knew how to react, although the first thing they decided was to supply the antidote again, because it was clear they were going to save her.
"She was sitting in the window as she had been doing since she had come to this planet, watching the stars, remembering all those people she had left behind, who she would never see again, who she would only remain in her memories. She did not understand why her mother had decided this, Why she?Why not her sister? Seriously, she understood less and less why she had been allowed to die.
She grabbed her necklace looking at it, locking it into a fist, trying to keep the tears out of her eyes. She needed her so much, she simply needed her older sister who had been her counselor, her best friend, the one she never imagined she was going to lose, who was going to stay by her side no matter what happened. She wanted Alex, her new sister, to pay attention to her, guide her, care about her, but she did not, she could not do it, a fact that made her miss her sister more.
"Kara" heard a voice calling her turning scared to her. "Do you miss your family?"
She looked at her in surprise at her question, not understanding why she cared for her now, why she chose to do it. Still, she nodded slightly, as Alex sat beside her, watching her curiously, not saying anything more.
"I don't want you to feel bad, but how was your life there? Did you have siblings?"She asked, getting her to fight the tears that were struggling to get out of her eyes.
"No, I didn't have any sibling," she lied for fear of hurting herself more, convinced that she would be able to forget her.
"You lied to me," her sister snapped. "You told me you had no siblings".
"Alex ..., I ... I wanted to avoid remembering her, to hurt me every day when I realized that I had lost my older sister" she sobbed. "I needed her, I needed someone to guide me, someone to look at" she said. "Alex, you took her place, I'm sorry, but you did, you helped me to cover her emptiness and I thank you" she looked at her before bowing her head.
"Hey, hey, I didn't want to be like this, it's just shocked me." She leaned in to hug her. "I'm sure she would have been the best big sister you ever had," she said, pulling her slightly away from her.
"No, she's been the best sister I've had for thirteen years of my life, and she's always going to stay in my heart, but you're the best big sister I have right now, and you're going to stay, Alex," she said, smiling slightly. Knowing that everything she was saying right now was true and would be for a long time. "
" Do you really think that's going to work?" Her sister asked, unconvinced by what she was doing.
"Why not?" She shrugged. "You've checked that when I'm in this room she relaxes, she calms down, this should work." She smiled, placing the teddy in one of the arms of her sister's unconscious body.
"Kara, is a stuffed animal that you have disguised as Supergirl, do you really think it will calm her like your presence?" Alex looked at her with a raised eyebrow getting her statement, yes, she believed it. "Okay, let's try it, "She said, pointing to the door.
She left the room, moving away from her, using her superhearing to listen to what Alex said, who was quite surprised to realize that, indeed, it worked, the girl's constants remained stable, so she returned to that room with a victorious look at her sister.
"You were right." She looked up, lifting her hands as she laughed lightly, causing hers.
"When is she going to wake up?" She asked worriedly. "She's been in a coma for a week, I can't really, it kills me to see her here," she said, feeling that she was going to start crying.
"I don't know, no one does, Kara," she answered truthfully.
She nodded. It was the same question she repeated every day, to which she heard the same answer, however, every morning she woke up with the illusion that they would say that she would wake up, that she would return to life, an illusion that she lost as the time passed, but that remained in a small proportion in her, because she was not going to stop until getting her back.
