henry creel, my love

chapter 6

-ALLIES POV-

i woke up in our bed, henry was sitting in a chair next to the bed, crying and rubbing his eyes. "hey, hey!" i said, my voice all raspy. "what's wrong my love?" i asked softly as he turned to look at me. he wiped his nose and tears and smiled at me. "nothing princess it's okay." he kissed me softly. obviously it wasn't okay. i never saw henry cry. i mean except that one time but.. i hate reliving that night. "no seriously henry what's wrong??" i tried to sit up but found my body was too weak. i reached for my water bottle on the nightstand. "please can i just tell you tomorrow sweetheart. please?" he pleaded. why couldn't i know now? he was scaring me and honestly freaking me out a little. "honey.. just tell me. please." he shook his head and sniffled his nose. he was holding my hand. "why..?" i said softly, my voice still sounding like i've smoked cigarettes for years. "because princess i just don't wanna relive it right now. please let's talk about it tomorrow. we need to have fun tonight." he said and i plopped my head back down on the pillow. "henry i can barely move.." i said looking up at him. "no no you don't have to. i mean right here. in our bed. just talking about life and what we're gonna do together whenever we get out. stuff like that." he said smiling gently. something was seriously wrong. but what..?

the next day.

i stretched and woke up, still barely able to move but i could tell it was getting better. i hoped anyway. i looked over at henry, who was wide awake. he was playing with his ring. clearly thinking quite hard. he smiled at me. i could visibly see his eyes were puffy and red. he was crying all night.. why? i was really worried. hoping he'd tell me what's going on now. "hey.. sweetheart what's wrong..? can you please tell me now." i said and he nodded slowly. "the nurse said.. the electromagnetic waves that went through your body.. a normal body shouldn't be able to handle it. you're strong and you were able to handle it.. except they're staying in your body.. causing you to be sick. but this isn't a normal sickness like a common cold or something so.. the nurse said you most likely only have about a week to live.." he said a tear running down his cheek. my heart dropped. what? we went to the nurse?? i'm.. im dying..?

2 DAYS LATER

i was in the rainbow room with 002 working with him trying to move a block with his mind. he was failing miserably but i wasn't going to tell him that. i didn't feel any better. i could feel the zaps running through my body everytime i moved. it hurt. really bad. and it weakened me. although i hope when i die dr brenner doesn't continue to do zaps as punishment. because these kids will die. i looked over at henry. before he used to fake a smile at the kids but now he just frowns all the time. he's really hurt by this. he's trying to find a cure but i told him he won't. if there was a cure the nurse would've told us. i think.. i finally went back to our room and slowly removed my shirt. i was wearing my pink lace bra. the lab gave us pretty nice stuff. for underwear at least. i don't know if that was creepy or good but either way. henry walked in and smiled at me. "hey.." i said slowly walking up to him and wrapping my arms around him. he buried his face in my neck and cried. he cried like he's been wanting to let those tears out all day. "i can't lose you." he cried into my neck and i rubbed his back. "honey.. everything happens for a reason i guess." i was trying my hardest to reassure him but i wasn't doing very well. "then what's the reason baby please tell me because there is no reason." he said getting a little grouchy. i gave him a concerned look. "i'm sorry baby. i'm very stressed." he said placing a kiss on my forehead. i nodded. "i know how to fix it." henry said randomly after a few minutes of silence. "what??" i asked standing back up and looking at him. "dr brenner knows you're gonna die.. that's why he staged the whole conversation with the nurse. there is ways to help you they're just not saying anything because he doesn't like us together.. we need to get you to a real doctor." he said smiling in excitement. "i agree honey but how..?" i asked and he grabbed my arm and rushed me out the door. he broke all the cameras in the hallway, leading me down to the boiler room/basement. i saw something in his neck.. something moving. "hey.. what happened??" i asked him. "it weakens me. it's a critoria and it makes it so i can't use my powers. sweetheart i need you to pull it out.." he said. my eyes widened but i knew what he meant. i stood probably a foot away from him and held up my hand.. the little device flew across the room and hit the floor. he kissed me hard and grabbed my hand. we ran up some steps and he opened a vent that he clearly couldn't fit through. when we realized this he looked scared. he knew we had to get out upstairs. "THERE THEY ARE!!" some guards shouted. we ran upstairs and got cornered in a hallway "against the wall." the main guard said. i was heading to the wall when henry grabbed my hand. "no sweetheart. you don't have to be afraid of them.. ever again." he said. the guard laughed and henry's raised his arm up high in the air and the 2 guards in front flew at the wall, breaking the tile with their backs. the other two guards behind us.. same thing. henry took my hand and we ran through the halls. he put me in a broom closet and kissed me. "sweetheart please wait here.." he said leaving. what?? why?? suddenly i heard screaming and a nearby walkie talkie.. with screaming coming from it too.. what's going on..?
