Lab Rats: The New Addition

Stay

  I cry, and sob, and ball my eyes out as I hold a sickly Chase Davenport in my arms. To make matters worse, Adam, Bree, and Leo are risking their lives to save Chase and I. I could lose them, too. I don't want to lose them. I don't want to lose anybody. I try to ignore the fighting that is going on behind me and focus on Chase. I rub his cheeks and whisper, ever so sweetly, "Little Genius? Can you hear me? Are you okay?" There is no reply. All I hear is the fighting going on behind me.

  I put my finger to his neck and my heart drops. There's no pulse. "No," I think. "No! This can't be happening!" "Chase," I say, frantically. "Chase! CHASE, WAKE UP! BREATH! CHASE!" I grip his hair, starting to lose my sanity. "Chase, say something," I sob. "Say something!" Nothing. His eyes are shut. His body is unmoving. His heart is no longer beating. I am about to go insane now. Something very bad is going to happen. I just know it. I hear my former father, Ash Mallard's evil cackle from behind me. "That'll teach you to never mess with my plans," he says, menacingly.

  Words could never describe the sorrow that I am feeling right now, but words could also never describe the hatred that I feel towards my birth father. He killed my Mother, and now CHASE! He is NOT gonna get away with this. Not if I have anything to say or do about it. I give an earsplitting shriek and do a bionic backwards flip, kicking my father, who shall be called Ash now, in the face, sending him flying through the air.

  When he falls, he should be dead. But he doesn't fall. Instead, he shoots right back up, his face plumb red with fury. "I'll be back," he growls. Then he speeds off. I would go after him, but I'm too worried about Chase. I run back over to him and hold him in my arms, followed Adam, Bree, and Leo. "He's dead," Adam asks, sounding utterly heartbroken. "This can't be happening," Leo says, horrified. "He's....gone," Bree whispers. I touch the tip of Chase's nose with mine and whisper something that I now know is true, "Chase, please stay. I love you."
