'No wait G! Don-'

~•~♡~•~

     "Help! Help someone help! Doctor! Someone!" G yelled in a panic as he stood in the waiting room of an ER. Everyone there stared at him.

     The sight of a tall, shirtless bloodied skeleton, carrying a small naked girl absolutely covered in blood, frightened many. A few shrunk away, but two doctors and a few nurses rushed up to helped the deranged monster.

     G let them take the girl from his arms, but he felt his SOUL latched to hers. If he wasn't in shock, it would have alarmed him. Luckily, his calmer father was there.

    'G, let her go. You've done all you can.' The soft, ghostly voice coaxed the dazed skeleton. G blinked. A part of him snapping into reality.

     'Dad... I.. I don't want her to die...' He sobbed, watching the doctors lay the girl on a gurney. They had her wrists bound tightly in gauze and quickly covered her with a white sheet that just as quickly begain to soak up the blood.

      'I know, but there's nothing you can do. You're only causing her more pain by holding on like this.' Gaster softly tugged at the strings of his son's SOUL, trying to get him to release the poor girl's hidden life force. The SOUL both of them had yet to see.

     G slowly withdrew, terrified of hurting her, yet so scared of losing her.

     'G... her SOUL is very weak. I'm affraid teleporting was not a good idea.' Gaster spoke softly. He knew this might not be the best time to tell him, but he felt he had to.

     'What are you talking about?' G asked softly. Gaster kept him grounded as he watched the doctors take Lucy away. G felt the terrors of a million sleepless nights from years ago threaten him again. He gasped for air and followed for a moment, before slumping against the wall.

     'Your magic. Feel it.' Gaster instructed.

     G closed his eyes and let himself fall slowly into the horror he was experiencing. But he heard his father, and knew he had to listen. He wasn't going to tell him to do anything for no reason. Unless he was pranking him, and now was not the time for pranks.

     So G took a deep breath and felt along his SOUL, noticing that he had full magic. This was very strange, due to the distance of his recent teleport.

     'Dad... what happened? Did you help me?' The confused skeleton asked.

     'I'm affraid not son. I can't contribute to such long distances... but I'm affraid... someone else did, unintentionally.' Gaster's voice was so grave, it startled G.

     'Dad... a-are you saying...' G couldn't find it in himself to even say it. It made sense in a way, and yet was so ridiculous it couldn't have happened. Could it?

     'You thought right. From the research you and Della have done, it makes sense to me... although I'm not certain of the main vertue of her SOUL yet, I have a theory it could be Kindness, or Empathy.'

     'But... but how could she have attributed that much magic?! Even a grown human man with a large hidden resevoir of magic couldn't have fed that whole teleport! I would be passed out on the floor...There's no way that poor girl could have done that...' G ran a skeletal hand over his skull. It was too farfetched of a theory to make sense to him.

     'G, Lucy, was the only one there. And... I could feel it... I tried to warn you. When you arrived, her energy was completely drained. She was trying so hard to give you every last ounce of magic she had left.'

     "The main triat of GSS..." G mumbled aloud.

     'Excactly.'

     'But... if that's true... then... h-her current survival rate is... v-very slim... she has no energy to help her natural healing systems. She... she's gonna die.' G slumped to the floor and sobbed. He held his skull tightly in his large hands and did everything he could to not scream.

     Gaster wrapped his spirit around his son and did his best to comfort him. He had no words. It was true, the girl has such a low percent of survival, it seemed useless to even consider hoping. And yet, for some strange reason, that stubborn feeling stayed in his SOUL, knowing she would live.

     '... my... SOUL...'

     G didn't hear his father's mumble, but felt when he slowly pulled away. 'D-don't leave. Please...' the skeleton whimpered. Gaster eased his son's apprehensions and explained his plan.

     'G, your brother and I have explained to you before of how you cannot control the flow of magic around you from other SOULS. Only a few can, and that includes your brother and myself. I'm going to go see if I can help her. If her case is normal, I should be able to resupply her magic.'

     'And then you'd have to return to the Void for a while...' G thought sadly. If it didn't work and his father couldn't be there, the skeleton had no idea what he'd do.

     'A small price, but I assure you, her survival rate is much higher this way. You'll be ok. Perhaps you should go and tell your brothe-'

     'NO! No... I... I don't want him to know...' The poor skeleton was trying so hard not to start crying again.

     'If it turns out I need his help to keep her alive, I will personally tell him. I'm not letting you go through this again.' Gaster promised in a deeper tone. G knew that tone. His father was DETERMINED.

     All right... I trust you.
