621's Reformation

Chapter 2

        Stitch shook the still body of 621.

        "621?! 621?!" Stitch yelled, his voice getting more volume as he got more desperate.

        Stitch looked at his older brother closely. Faintly, Stitch saw 621's chest rising and falling. Stitch nearly cried with relief that his brother wasn't dead.

        "626! Where are you?" Jumba yelled.

        "Here! Come quick, Jumba!" Stitch yelled.

        Jumba and Lilo came running out of the forest to the rocky canyon.

        "Is he-?" Lilo started to asked.

        Stitch shook his head.

        "Just sleeping." Stitch replied.

        Lilo sighed in relief.

        "That's good. I thought that he might have...you know." Lilo said.

        The rain slowly wavered and then the sun finally peeked through. Stitch looked up.

        "Ih." Stitch replied

        "Don't worry. Injuries aren't bad. He'll survive." Jumba said.

        Jumba scooped up the broken experiment and walked off into the forest, leaving Lilo and Stitch alone.

        "621 nearly died because of me." Lilo said, dropping to her knees.

        "It wasn't your fault. It was an accident." Stitch said.

        "It was! I yelled at 621 because Nani got hurt when he attacked and I hit him! I'm the reason he ran off!" Lilo said, tears pricking her eyes.

        Stitch leaned forward and hugged his best friend. Lilo began to sob.

        "Let's go home." Stitch murmured to her.

        Lilo nodded as Stitch helped her up. In silence, Lilo and Stitch walked home. When they got there, Nani was standing on the porch.

    "What happened? When I woke up, an experiment was on the sofa, unconscious and severely hurt." Nani said.

        "621 fell off a cliff on purpose. I tried to save him but he clawed my wrists to make me let go. See?" Lilo said, showing her clawed wrist.

        "But why were you guys chasing him in the first place?" Nani asked.

        "621 came over to apologize for what he did to us but I was so mad at him because you got hurt that I did and said some things that I shouldn't have. He ran off after I hit him. I found 621 under a palm tree, all curled up. I tried to get him to move, but he wouldn't. Shortly after, 621 got up and ran off. We followed him to the cliff. 621 was standing at the edge of the cliff when I found him. 621 told me that he was confused on what to do. I offered my hand and told him that he could come with us. But 621 said that he was sorry and stepped off the cliff. That's when I grabbed his hand. 621 told me to let go but I refused. 621 protested by saying that I was going to die if I held on to him. But I protested by saying that I wasn't going to let him die. 621 then yelled at me, saying that he didn't deserve to live. But I protested that he did deserve to live. That's when he dug his claws into my skin. I remember him falling to the bottom of the canyon and then running off." Lilo explained.

        "Meega found 621 on the bottom of the canyon when he called out to me. 621 asked if it was really meega and meega said that it was meega. Meega held onto 621's hand. 621 said that he was going to die. Meega protested that he wasn't. 621 replied by saying that he could feel himself drifting away. Meega say that Jumba was on way but 621 smiled and said that he was too far gone to be healed. 621 started to close his eyes but meega yelled at him to not close his eyes. 621 told meega that he wanted meega to tell everyone he was sorry. Meega told him not to talk like that but 621 said goodbye and closed his eyes. Meega thought he was dead but meega saw his chest moving up and down so meega knew he was alive." Stitch finished, explaining the rest of the story Lilo couldn't finish.

        Nani pulled both Stitch and Lilo into a hug.

        "I can't believe you two went through something so horrible." she murmured.

        "It naga 621's fault. It our fault." Stitch said, holding Lilo's hand.

        Lilo nodded.

       "We shouldn't have chased 621. We should have just left him alone." Lilo said.

        "But if you two hadn't been there for 621, he would have died." Jumba said from inside the house.

        The three looked curiously at the ex-evil scientist. Jumba looked devastated.

        "621 had been cutting his own arms with something. If you hadn't followed 621 to cliff and saved him, he would have killed himself with something sharp. In short, 621 was close to committing suicide" Jumba explained.

        Lilo's eyes widened. 621 wanted to die? But before Lilo could say anything, they heard groaning from the living room. The four rushed into the living room.

        621 had propped himself up with two small pillows. His chest was wrapped in white bandages, as were his arms and legs. 621's eyes were wide open and his evergreen gaze swept through the entire room.

        "I thought I was dead." 621 simply said.

      "We did too. But your life energy was strong enough for you to survive." Jumba explained.

        621 looked at Lilo but quickly looked away from her, turning so that his back was away from her, making Lilo sad.

        "I'm going back to sleep so I can get stronger faster." 621 announced.

        No one bothered arguing because he really did need the rest, no one wanted to risk him being strong enough to turn into his mutant form, and Jumba, Stitch, and Lilo needed rest because they had been up all night looking for 621.

        Tiredly, Lilo nodded and went up to bed, Stitch close behind her. Lilo changed into her nightgown and went into bed. Lilo saw that Stitch climbed right into bed and fell asleep in 10 seconds flat. Lilo stared at the ceiling, thinking of everything that had happened in the past 6 hours.

        After thinking of how 621 was going to get better, Lilo finally drifted off into a dreamless sleep of black. Lilo had no idea what 621 was doing while she was sleeping.
