Forgeting And Forgiving (Nimona)

part 19

Nimona had demolished almost the entire army, but let the last 1 run to report to the kings. She shifted back to her teenage self before running to ballaster.

"Boss! Are you ok?"

Nimona shook ballasters unconscious body.

Ambrosius felt around for what Nimona assumed was a pulse or heartbeat or breath.

"He's breathing, but his pulse and heartbeat are a little slow. He'll likely make it if we get him to a hospital in time."

Ambrosius ended the sentence by pulling ballaster onto one of the injury wagons the army brought.

"Go check on your siblings. Hurry!"

Nimona ran back to her lying brother and sister. She just found her family again, she couldn't lose them again too.

As she got closer, Sydney got to his hands and knees. Looked over at Evelyn, and jumped to her aid.
Nimona got there as Evelyn opened her eyes.

"EVELYN! PLEASE! AFTER ALL WE'VE BEEN THOUGH! AFTER FINALLY FINDING NIM! PLEASE DONT DIE! PLEASE!"

Evelyn had half open, tired eyes.

"Nimona, Sydney. You both know I'm not gonna make it. So just here out my final words."

Tears formed on everyone's eyes.

"Sydney, you take care of Nimona, you've always wanted to be the oldest, right?"

A small sad smile formed on Evelyn's face.

"No, not at this cost." Sydney responded.

"Thank you for sticking with me through it all, you've been an amazing partner in crime."
Evelyn's blood started slowly dripping out of her mouth.

"Nimona could have been better." Sydney made his own sad smile and looked at Nimona.

"No, dont say that at my dying face.
And Nimona, you have been given the gift of our mother, she could shift as well. I hope Sydney can talk to you about her more, unlike I could."

"I think my memories are coming back, but I say it's still not worth the trade."

"And send your boss my regards."

Evelyn got to her feet and hugged both her Siblings.

"I love you both, I'll tell Mom you said hi"

Her feet faded.

Then her legs,

Then her arms.

Then as they knew it,
She was gone.
Evelyn was gone.
