Alice's Sacrifice

Chapter 8

Rikka was sitting at Alice's bedside. It had been a week since Alice almost died and she wasn't getting any better, but not much worse. This was Rikka's first time visiting her since that incident. When the girls got back to the hospital Alice was immediately taken away and put on life support. Rikka didn't even know how she and the rest of the girls were able to make up a believable story of how Alice even got out of the hospital. After the whole disaster Alice wasn't aloud to have visitors since she wasn't in a stable condition. It was just until a hour ago that Alice seemed stable enough to have visitors. But the doctors still don't know what could've caused Alice to get so fatally sick. Rikka knew, all of the Pretty Cures knew. She was poisoned by a Jikochuu when the selfish trio gave it a poison. A poison that would slowly kill any human since humans didn't have a cure for it. Rikka was sure the selfish trio had the antidote but there was no way she or the rest of the team could get their hands on it. "W-why Alice?" Rikka muttered tears starting to form. "She's always been kind and always put others needs before her own, even now. So why out of all of us is she the one dying?!" Rikka said louder grief starting to take effect. "She doesn't deserve this! While she's slowly dying, all we can do is just sit here and watch!" Rikka said her sobs coming out of her own control. She just sat their for a little while until someone came through the door. Rikka didn't notice until she heard the voice speak. "Rikka, visiting hours are over." the female voice said softly. Rikka didn't look away from Alice. "Okay mom, I'll be there in a few moments." she responded trying to hide the fact that she was crying. Her mother just nodded before leaving the room. Rikka sat still for a moment before getting up to leave. "Good bye Alice. I'll see you tomorrow," she whispered hoping her friend would hear her somehow.
A few hours later
A dark figure was making their way towards the hospital. Once they were close enough to the hospital they flew up to Alice's window. They quietly opened the window and made their way next to Alice's bed. The open window let some moonlight shine onto the figure making some of their features noticeable. It appeared to be a young boy, looking about the same age as Alice. His light hair turned silver in the moonlight. But his most distinctive feature were the bat wings behind his ears. When he got to the bed his shadow loomed over the unconscious girl. He reached into his pocket and pulled a syringe out. "I'm not gonna lie to you this is going to hurt a lot, but in the end this is going to help you feel better." he said in case Alice could some how hear him. The boy hesitated for a moment before having the syringe piercing Alice's skin. Alice almost immediately gasped in immense pain, her body becoming restless. Knowing that this would soon get the doctors in the room, the boy quickly ran to the window. He immediately jumped out and flew away. But what he didn't know was that Alice somewhat regained consciousness and gasped out one word as he left. "Ira?"
