Become Human

Dead and Alive

Clark turned back and he saw me. His eyes widened, he started tapping Hazel, who had her face down while sobbing, on her back. She slowly turned back then once she saw me, she hurriedly stood up and then she walked with hesitancy. She seemingly doubted herself and what she had seen. 

Once she had approached me, she placed her hand on my face. She caressed my cheeks, then her hands slowly and gently moving towards my lips. She pressed her fingers against my lips while wiping the mud and dirt from it. Her hands then started to go down towards my chest, she stroked them looking for my heartbeat until she found it.

"I don't know anymore. I don't know if you're real or just a hallucination" She said quietly

She looked up to me with her eyes still flowing with tears, then she managed to smile.

"But I don't care. All that matters is that you're home. You're here." She said then she wiped her tears off.

Her emotions were so pure and overflowing that even I started tearing up. She then locked me in her embrace. For the first time in months that I have lived and stayed here, this is the very first time where I truly felt like I've finally got home and that I have someone behind me, ready to support me. 

I couldn't resist, I had burst into tears. Clark approached me and embraced me as well, then the twins, Nathan and Rachel did the same. After awhile, they all released me. Hazel walks up to Nathan and she delivers a slap to his face.

"What the heck." Hazel said bluntly to him

"What?" Nathan asked to Hazel

"You said Shawn was already dead!" Hazel exclaimed

"Wha..." Nathan said but was interrupted by another slap

"You said you saw him dead with your own two eyes." Hazel said

"Yes. You said loud and clear, you saw his lifeless head without a body lying on the ground" Kurt said

"I don't know! I guess that must've been a mistake! That must've been someone else" Nathan said aloud

They all just stared at Nathan with their sharp eyes. I felt bad for Nathan especially because I don't know the reason why he is hated in the first place. After a few seconds, a lady came out of the crowd and approached me

"I'm hoping once again since Nathan lied. So please, tell me, did Lon make it?" She asked with a soft voice and a faint smile

I couldn't look straight at her. I just looked down at my feet while remembering everything. I felt the guilt inside me flowing. I should've died there with Lon and the others. Well, I should've died way earlier, but I have this curse of immortality that's going to bring me pain for more years to come. Actually, not really, because eventually my battery's going to run out in a hundred years.

By this time, her smile faded away. She got the message I wanted to tell, But she was still in disbelief. She shook me by my shoulder, while pleading me to tell her that he was alright. Although I wanted to tell her that he is fine and comfort her, I just couldn't, knowing that she would be waiting for no one, for nothing. She kept pleading. She eventually started crying. After awhile, other people started pulling her away from me but she was struggling. 

She shrieked while being pulled off and she kept screaming "Please! Tell me he's okay!"

With that reaction, she must've been Lon's lover or at least she had a very deep relationship with him. I could only imagine myself in her position, having to just have learned you have loved somebody so much that you can't live without them, then they were just gone, in a flash. Just the thought of it makes me feel devastated.
