My Gladiator Family

Chapter 26

 ~FEW DAYS LATER~

~ELLEN'S P.O.V.~

 Every inhale hurts, but I'll continue to live, for Sam, Taurtis, everyone. Every exhale hurts more. The only thing on my mind anymore is how cold life will be with no love, but I'll just have to get used to it.

Can't love..

 Sam continued watching TV. I washed the dishes. "Need some help?" Sam asked. "No, I'm good.." I said. He walked over anyways. He started drying the dishes I washed. "They can just dry in the drain tray.." I said. "Ya, but this way is quicker.." he said. I handed him the next dish and he dried it, and put it up. "....thanks.." I slowly said. "Welcome" he said.

 Afraid to love..

 We finished with the dishes, and I sat down on my bed. I grabbed my laptop and went on Netflix. 'Dead Silence' was in my recommended section. I glanced to see if Sam was looking at me and I put in my headphones. I clicked on the horror movie. The movie started.

~30 MINUTES LATER~

 I'm actually ok. Nothing is really scaring me. It actually got pretty boring. I exited out the movie and put away my headphones and laptop. Sam was on his laptop on his bed. He glanced at me and looked back at his screen. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Evil Ellen's glowing eyes, but I just ignored her and she went away with an evil smirk. Sam closed his laptop and put it away. I took a deep breath.

~SAM'S P.O.V.~

 Ellen took a deep breath. I got up and walked to the kitchen. I stared into the fridge blankly. I've tried hinting to Ellen that I have strong feeling towards her, but it's like she tries to not show any emotion when I obviously hint to her that I like her. Is she scared of commitment, or something? I want to ask her out to dinner, maybe as a date, but I doubt she'd say yes..

 "Ellen" I began. "Yes?" she said, laying on her bed, looking like she's thinking. "Do you think you'd like to get dinner together or something?" I asked her. She got up and began looking around in the cupboards. "Sure, Burger King?" she asked. "No, maybe.. Sushi Wushi, or something.." I said. She rested her shoulders. "That's a bit formal for such a normal day..." she said slowly. She turned to look at me, a somewhat worried expression on her face. "Ya, pretty formal, maybe we could go as.. a.. date..?" I asked slowly. I suddenly felt a CRASH, but it wasn't mine. Ellen started hyperventilating. Evil Ellen appeared behind Ellen. "MOVE!!" I yelled. Ellen turned around to look behind her. She gasped as she saw Evil Ellen and she fell to the ground. "ELLEN!!!" I yelled. I ran to charge Evil Ellen and she disappeared just as I laid hands on her. Evil Ellen reformed and flew into Ellen's heart. Ellen gasped and her eyes flashed a blue-green light. She flew up a few inches and fell into my arms. I fell down to the ground holding Ellen. "HELP!!!!!" I screamed. Taurtis, Blue, and Dom busted through the door. They rested their gaze upon me holding Ellen on the ground. "NO!!!!" Taurtis screamed. He ran and fell on the ground by me and Ellen. He grabbed Ellen from my arms and cradled her. "ELLEN!!!!" he screamed, his voice breaking. Tears flew down his burning face. I sobbed and Dom and Blue helped me up. Evil Sam flew up in the corner of the room and charged for me. Dom jumped in front of me and swatted Evil Sam away. Blue pulled up Taurtis, still carrying Ellen, and grabbed his hand and pulled him as they ran. Dom grabbed my arm and we ran after them. Everyone else saw us running and they ran after us. We ran to the closest emergency hospital and busted through the doors. "EMERGENCY!!" Caramel screamed. A doctor and a few nurses busted through a door with a stretcher and Taurtis laid Ellen on the stretcher and they carried her off. Taurtis ran after them. The rest of us waited in the waiting room.

 "What happened?!" J exclaimed. "I don't want to talk about it.." I whispered to myself. Orchid jumped up and grabbed my shoulders and shook me. "WHAT HAPPENED?!" she yelled. I pushed her off. "HEY!" Dom shouted. Blue grabbed his arm and he shook her off. He sat down and yelled in frustration. Blue and Orchid comforted him. Caramel busted out crying and Grian hugged her. J and Brittany hugged each other. Jasper and Winter looked at each other gloomily. I decided to go after Taurtis, the doctor, and nurses. I ran through the door they went through, and ran down the hall, full rabbit speed. I caught up with them and we continued running into an emergency room. They closed the doors on me and Taurtis. Taurtis began beating on the door. "NO!!!" he screamed. He continued hitting the door, almost creating a dent. "NO, PLEASE!!" he screamed out of control. He busted his knuckle and screamed in pain as he continued hitting the door, getting blood all over. "TAURTIS, STOP!!!" I yelled trying to pull him away from the door. I pushed him away from the bloody door and he clenched his bloody knuckle. He sobbed in my shirt and I hugged him.  "Let's get help for your knuckle.." I gloomily said. We walked back to the room before the waiting room. "He busted his knuckle.." I said to the nurse at the counter. She got up and grabbed some medical stuff. She cleaned the blood off his knuckle and wrapped his hand. "Let it heal." she said. Taurtis wiped his tears with his un-injured hand. We walked through the final doors into the waiting room. Taurtis walked to Blue and Blue hugged him. I took a deep breath and sat by myself in a corner.

 Mary walked through the entrance doors.

 She looked around the room, and found me. She walked over to me. "Is Ellen ok?" she asked, concerned. "She's in the emergency room.." I answered. "Where did Evil Ellen enter?!" she asked, almost freaking out. "It looked like her chest, kind of like the area of her heart...." I slowly said. Mary's eyes widened. "Is that important?!" I exclaimed. "UMM.. Do you have internet access??" she asked anxiously. I nodded and pulled out my phone. "Might wanna look it up!!!" she said nervously. She ran out the building. I immediately looked up 'Evil entering heart'. I clicked on the first website.

...Oh my gord...
