The Power of the Expiration Date [Completed]

Chapter 7

ETHAN POINT OF VIEW

I still can't wrap my mind around what Isa did for me. Why would she do it knowing it's her expiration date? I'm so stupid. How did I not know it was her expiration date? Hints/everything was there the fact that she was holding something back from me. Puts her sleeves all the way down even if it's like 100 degrees out even more. The fact that she walked up to the man...accepting her fate. Did she wanted to get over with that badly? Why wouldn't she tell me? Is that why she said "I should have told you."

I didn't have much time to react I carried her home or I should say to my house. The man ran away before I could do anything to him. I didn't have much time I had to use my healing powers. What I saw sicken me. When I tared her shirt off to get a good look at the wound. It was awful. Worse then I thought. The wound was red black which only means it was a poisoned dagger. Which is very hard to heal and on top of that she had long scars across her back. It looked like she been whipped.

I hurried and healed her the best I could.

I always ask myself this, but do you know why healing/healers our extremely rare? I figured that out a few months ago. They could heal someone, prevent someone from dying on their expiration date. That's why the ministry killed healers off, but what doesn't make sense is why give them that power in the first place if you're going to kill them off?

I feel bad, but I can't tell Isa I have healing powers if she ever wakes up. I need to train her to use her ice powers and teach her self defense, but that means I have to use a parallel if I'm going to teach her ice powers. I have fire power so that's my parallel, but if she finds out I have fire power and healing power she would know. I worked for the ministry.

I used to work for them that's how I have more than one power you need to work for the ministry. I quit working for them after I got my powers, but if she figures out I have two powers she going to think I'm using her to turn her in or what not, but I would never do that.

It's weird I just met her a few days ago yet I feel like I can trust her enough to have her as my partner not a friend. If we become friends I'm puting her life at risk. It would tare me apart what happened to my best friend happened to her too.
......................................................................

As I wait for her to wake up I only do three things. Sleep, eat, and repeat. Most of the time I just stare at her wondering if she ever going to wake up. If she does than I would tell her what I'm been hiding for the past few months. I'm expired. I was able to heal myself I hope I could do the same for her. We would both be expired which means she needs to really learn how to defend herself. I had to teach myself and it wasn't easy.

She stays there motionless for the past days. Sometimes her fingers would twitch, but that's it. Sometimes even Lucky would cry and try to wake her up with barking and licking her face. Everyday. As if it's his...

She stirs this time her whole body moves. Is she waking up? She winces and cries out in pain. "Isa, wake up it's okay." She doesn't move a muscle again.

What I thought was unusual happens a lot she stirs, but goes back to being motionless. It's as if she trying to wake up, but doesn't know how.
......................................................................
It's been a week. I'm starting to lose hope that she would ever wake up. What would I do with her if she doesn't wake up? Feeling awful I just stay in my room now staring at the ceiling. I should have took the blow. She stepped in front of me the very last second. Why? She doesn't know me. Yet I don't know her, but I know if it was opposite way around I would do it for her to.
