the Lazarus effect

Chapter 7

Frank doctor's up were he pushed the needle in her temple as he placed a bandaid on his daughters temple "ok"he says before checking her eyes with a flash light as Zoe holds her daughters hand Frank smiles at his daughter "your good"he says as jade smiles slightly.

"What was it like "Ava asked making the family turn towards her"well I mean did you see anything "she asked as a flash happens before a black screaming figure can seen blurry before a hall way was shown as it flashed back to jade who was quiet as she hears the distance screams in her head"like heaven or..."Ava asked.

Zoe stands up"you know, this might not be the best time. Ava ....start taking down the lab let's set up an mri"she says as the others all stand around in the room as jade continues to look at Ava blankly "we want to see the diagnostics and get out here as soon as possible okay"she says as her and Frank share a look before they leave as Frank turns back to his daughter who now looks at him.

Niko was shown sitting in front of his laptop as he watches the footage as the security guard was leaving "and there goes the gaurd"he says with clay and Frank standing beside him.

"We're clear"clay says with crossed arms.

"Alright let's get this over with "Frank says before heading back to jade and Zoe. Jade was changed into one her simple black night shirts that end mid thigh as she was having an mir as she lays on the moving slab holding her hands folded on her chest as the machine was whirring while Frank and Zoe watch nervous.

The computer beeps as results start flowing in showing activity in her brain as clay sighs "that's not right"he says studying the results.

"What"eva asked not understanding.

"I don't know Frank.zoe y'all want to come take a look at this"clay says as they walk over"what Frank asked as they look at the screen.

"Not only is jades body almost completely healed, but that's too much neural activity"clay says as the look at the MRI results of jades brain.

"Your right that's too much I want to get my daughter out of there"Zoe says as she walks away into the room while Frank watched "she's right we need to get jade out of here but we'll retest her in an hour once the serum has had a chance to dissipate"he says.

"I'm sorry but do you not remember the dog the serum still hasn't dissipate "clay says.

"Yes that was a goddamn dog this is a person "Frank says before following after Zoe as they walk up to the MRI machine as the slab jade was on slides out as clay walks the opposite way with a huff leaving Niko and eva who was confused"whas going on"she asked Niko who sighs as Zoe and Frank help sit there daughter up as she gets off the slab "you know how they say humans only use ten precent of there brain"he says as frank and Zoe help jade back into the wheel chair.

"I thought that was only a myth"eva says.

"No the myth is we don't know what the other 90 percent dose humans use there entire brain we just use ten percent at a time jades just sitting in there a small chuck of her brain should be lighting up"Niko explains as they look at the results"but ...the whole thing is lit up"eva says.

Niko nods his head"yeah that's the weird part "he says.

Zoe and Frank help jade walk into the sitting room of the lab as they help her sit down "just take a seat okay sweetie"he says to his daughter as they sit in front of her"all right how are you honey "he asked his daughter.

"Shouldn't we be going to the hospital "jade asked her parents who share a look" baby look we have all the same equipment here, and there's nobody more qualified to care of you then is Honey "Zoe says to her daughter gently pushing some of hair out of her face.

"Your mother is right jade they don't understand this just gonna get you stable first okay?"he explains to his daughter who nods her head nervous "hey"he says making his daughter look up "your gonna be okay honey"he says as tears start to build up in jades eyes before her parents pull her into a hug giving her comfort.

Jade pulls away sniffling "we thought we lost you baby"Zoe says with soft smile as jade looks up at her parents "y'all did"she says.

"But we didn't....we have something for you"Frank says since they were able to bring there daughter back to life he pulls out her necklace but her mother added her cross necklace with her crested moon necklace as she laughs with tears before they help her out it on but suddenly she hears her parents voice in her head.

"Something is definitely wrong"franks voice was heard in her head.

"I need to relook at those results to see what is wrong with her"Zoe's voice is heard before she pulls away with a sharp gaso making them confused before she shakes her head "what did y'all just say"she asked making them more confused cause they didn't say anything as they shared a look "honey we didn't say anything"zoe tells her daughter as her daughter exhales sharp lying looking away from her parents as she stares at a pin on the table as it moved sideways as she was freaking out silently.

"Jade are you okay"Frank asked his daughter who blinks "uh yeah mom.dad I think I'm just tired that all"jade says as she looks at her parents.

"You've just been through..."her dad says"a traumatic experience experience"she says with a low voice shocking her parents.

"You need to let your body heal just try to take it easy okay"jade says making her parents stand up in shock that's what they were going to say"we'll be right outside the door"she finished blankly as she zoned out before blinking as she looks up at her parents "what"she asked confused on why they were looking at her like that.

Zoe shakes her head with a nervous chuckle "nothing baby um... we're gonna come check on you in a second we will be right back"she says before her and frank leave the room.

"Hey"she calls making them turn around "I love y'all"she says with a soft smile.

"We love you to"Frank says before they both leave as the smile on jades face slowly disappear as she blinks hearing a low vibration and distant voices echoing as her head snapped to the side as the pin rolls on its own as she tilts her head staring as the pin moves again all over the table before it clatters to the ground as she gasp clutching her eyes as if her head was pounding as voices were overlapping with each other as she looks towards the lab everyone was in as she shakes her head slightly before she hears a high pitched toe as she can hear them more clearly.

"Oh my God this is a mistake I shouldn't be here we actually killed someone I killed someone I know this isn't right"eva thinks in her head.

"This is such a bad idea did you not see the dog the serum stays in the brain"clay says in his head.

"We can't cover this up that's not jade in there we shouldn't have brought her back"Niko says in his head.

"I need more time I'm gonna fix this "Frank says in his head.

"Maybe clay was right we shouldn't have brought our daughter back she seems different then before we just keep her thinking everything is fine letting her know she's gonna be fine"Zoe says in her head as jade listens to all there thoughts before she clutches her eyes shut again as the voices start overlapping again before looking down at her hand as her three middle figures were black tipped almost as if they were burned.
