Days to live

Chapter 5 Day 3

Day 3

All that has to be done now is to convince Blake to do this, or else everything I have done has been a waste. I need to show Blake the thought and time that has gone into everything I have done. Then I will be able to make the transfer of brains and Blake will have a new life. 

So I made my way to Blake’s accommodation, she has been depressed since the day we talked. She refuses to go outside her bedroom and doesn’t converse to any person other than me. 

As I entered Blake’s house I couldn’t help but wonder where her father was now. He never seemed to be home, and he certainly has not been talking to Blake. What father in their right mind would leave their only child, who has cancer, alone with no one to take care of them? My anger boiled inside me just waiting to burst.

When I found her, Blake was curled up in a ball lying on her bed.

 “How are you feeling today Blake?”

“ Same as yesterday.” She turned to look me in the eyes, something I have grown to love. 

“Well I have an idea I would like to talk to you about.” I started. Blake sat waiting for me to continue. “But before I tell you my idea I have something I have been keeping from you. I am not normal Blake. I am not like you. I cannot die, I have tried several times in the past but nothing has been successful. I am immortal. I am 117 years old, my life has drug on with no reason for it, and I was useless in life. That is until I met you. I know why I exist now. I know what I am supposed to do with my existence. I am supposed to help you. It is not fair for me to live forever but for you to hardly live at all. I want to give you life. I want to give you the ability to live a full life of happiness, sorrow, and love. I want you to have everything in life a normal girl should have. So the night you told me you have cancer I had an idea. I created a body for you. A perfect body that will allow you to live for the rest of your life. You will be able to live without cancer, live without worry. What do you think?” 

“You created a body just for me?”  

She hated the idea, I could see it in her eyes. She didn’t want to go through with it and she hated me for doing this. There was a sharp pain in my chest. 

“Yes, I did.”

“Thank you. I love your idea. I would love to go through with this.”

We packed up some of Blake’s  clothes and left for a new beginning. 

When we entered my apartment I showed Blake my progress so far. All we had left to do now was to transfer Blake’s brain to the body. So we started the surgery. 

I carefully cut around the brain in order to do no damage. I made sure not to damage the cerebellum in anyway or Blake might not be able to ever run again. As quickly as I could I transferred Blake’s brain to her new body, and crossed my fingers everything went through smoothly. Seconds ticked on and nothing happened. I stared CPR but that didn’t help. I attempted to use the AED but that did no help. I added electricity to the brain to activate it, but nothing would work. 

Each second that passed by was a stab to my heart. I decided to wait it out and just hold Blake’s hand while I wait. I can’t promise Blake anything but I can promise her I will be with her to the end. Outside I could hear the wind hitting the windows creating an echo across the room. Still no breath, I count to ten, still no heart beat. My heart was burning, it ached and twisted like never before. Blake didn’t breathe but neither could I. Tears sprung from my eyes as realization dawned on me, she wasn’t coming back to life; I killed my love. Ringing buzzed through my ears, I couldn’t hear. The room was spinning. My heart was being stabbed by thousands of knives. Pain brought me to my knees but I refused to let go of her hand. The world slowly went black, until all I could see was my love: my first, my last, and my only love. 

Outside, the rain started to fall. Oblivious to the lives that just ended, the world went on.  The circle of life goes around each day, some die and some are born. The rain fell harder. There are two less heart beats to be heard. Two less souls to be searched.  In the end everyone dies, even those who don’t expect it. That’s the miracle of death, it’s reliable, dependable and always there waiting for you. Death is a factor in life that’s inevitable. You may forget about death but death never forgets about you.
