Couldn't Believe...

Chapter 150: Final Chapter

Two weeks later...

*opens her eyes*

Where am I? What happened?

*gets up* "Ouch, my back." *looks around*

Ah, I remember. I passed out after the war ended. They must've brought me here afterwards.

*clack*
"You're awake."
"Hello, Scarlet."
"How are you feeling?"
"I'm alright, although my head hurts a bit and I can't really feel my body."
"I see."
"How long have I been sleeping?"
"Two weeks."
"What?!"
"Yeah, you were very tired."
"... What are you doing here?"
"Well, I came to change your serum."
"Serum?"
*nod*
*glance* "Ah, yes."

I didn't see that here.

"Why are you the one changing it? Where are the others?"
*freeze*
"Scarlet?"
"... After you collapsed, we brought you here, but..."
"But?"
"They all collapsed as well."
"What?! Why?!"
"They were exhausted because of their transformation."
"All of them?"
*nod* "Aster, Hexy, Diane and your mom. They woke up a few days ago, though."
"... That's good to hear. But what about Vamp? And Luka? Oh, and where's the old man?"
"Noah is used to his transformation, so he just got tired a little, and Luka's with your mom. The other dude went back inside your mark."
"... How about you?"
"I'm fine-"
"You're not! You look exhausted!"
"... I'm much more powerful than the others, so I can easily handle it. I'm just tired because I was taking care of you and the others, that's all. Noah doesn't even know how to inject a needle."
"Do you have a degree in medicine or something? Because you seem experienced."
"I am a doctor."
"Wait, really?!"
*nod* "I've been on this earth for hundreds of years, so I took the opportunity to study several majors, including medicine. I also have many years of experience."
"What's your specialization?"
"Cardiology and neurology."
"Wow, that's amazing."
"I told you, I had a lot of time."
"You're right. Eluma also loves-" *gasp*
"..."
"Scarlet, where is he?"
"..."
"SCARLET, ANSWER ME!"
"... He's in the room next to yours-"
*gets up*
*grab* "Don't even think about jumping out of the bed and run towards him. You're in no shape to walk fast, let alone run."
"..."
*walk towards Eluma's room*
*clack*
*stop* "Eluma..."
*sigh* "You can sit next to him."
*approach* *sits* "... How is he? Is he gonna be okay?"
"..."
*tremble* "Scarlet, please tell me he's gonna wake up."
"..."
"SCARLET, FOR GOD'S SAKE, GIVE ME ONE ANSWER AT LEAST!"
"... By protecting your mom, Eluma got stabbed... near the heart."
*freeze* "... What?"
"The blade narrowly missed the aorta, the main artery of the heart, causing severe internal bleeding. He lost a lot of blood, could barely breath, and eventually lost consciousness. I was able to stop the bleeding, but unfortunately, he went into a coma, and I can't tell you when he'll wake up... or if he will wake up."
*tremble* "N, no... this can't be..."
"I'm really sorry, Blackie. I did what I could, but getting stabbed next to the heart is a very life endangering wound. There's still a chance he'll wake up one day, but I really can't tell you when."
*teary* "Please, no... Eluma, you have to wake up..." *crying*
*pats her head* "I still have to check up on the others. I'll leave you with him, alright?"
*nod*
*clack*
"Eluma..." *holds his hand* *crying*

I wish all of this was just a bad dream. Seeing him lying on this bed in front of me breaks my heart into a million pieces. My love, my man, my everything, might never wake up...

"Please, wake up. I beg you, Eluma. I can't live without you, not now, not ever-"
*BAM*
"BLACKIE!"
"MASTER!"
"YOU'RE AWAKE!"
"Hexy, Diane, Aster!"
"HEY, YOU THREE STILL CAN'T RUN AROUND!"
*hug*
"We're so glad you woke up, Master."
"We were worried sick about you."
*smile* "I'm alright now."
"SISSY!!"
"Little Lioness!"
"Luka, Vamp!"
*hug* "I missed you!"
*chuckle* "I missed you too, Luka."
*pats her head*
"!"
"Good job, dear cousin. You were amazing."
*smile* "Thank you, Vamp."
*knock knock*
*glance* "Mom!"
"... Hello, sweetie."
