Chapter 11: A Deal

Within moments we had left the apartment and headed back toward the hospital.

The roads remained silent, besides the sound of Pyramid's knife dragging along the cement ground.

Once we got into the hospital and down to Alessa's room, I stop and look at Pyramid.

"Do you mind staying out here?" My voice quiet and innocent.

'I do mind.' He responds almost possessively, expressing his undying urge to protect Alessa from any possible threat.

"Please, stay out here. At least for a little bit while I talk to her. It is very important...I swear I won't do anything to hurt her."

'Harm her, and I will not hesitate to kill you.'

"...I know that...if you don't feel safe with only Alessa and I in the room, then get her dark side to join us..."

He then nods as I turn around and slowly enter the room.

Once I enter the room, I shut the door behind me as I then approach her hospital bed.

"Hello Alessa..."

'Hello.' Her voice responds to me as we lock eyes from a large hole in the sheet covering her bed, I kneel down beside it.

"...this might be a weird question...but how did you make Pyramid? ...More specifically...was he created with the emotion to possibly....feel love...? More deeper love than what he feels for you..." The pure embarrassment and shamefulness expresses itself through my reddened face.

'You have grown to care for him have you. Possibly even more. I am not sure if he was created with those emotions. He was created before I was tortured...my evil side created and gave him life.' Alessa responds to me.

"Oh, that is interesting."

"He was created only to kill and care for Alessa, no one else." A sudden voice speaks to me as I then notice evil Alessa approaching the bed near me as I then stand, partially out of defense.

"...Oh...so he can't feel any kind of love?" Disappointment overwhelms me.

"Love is not an emotion his being requires to fufill his tasks. Love will only slow and distract him. No need for such foolish emotions." It speaks with a hint of venom in its voice.

I then look down at my feet, thinking of a possible way to talk them into giving him those emotions. An idea then sparks.

"What if...I get Alessa more medicine for her burns. A lot more modern medicine, possibly from a hospital to make sure her burns go away quicker, could you give him those emotions if I do that?"

"No. He will not-" The evil side of Alessa is then cut off by Alessa herself as she speaks, looking at the dark version of herself.

'He has gone long enough without such emotions. Why not give him a chance to experience something in return for the care he has given me? And of course, in return for more advanced medicine...we haven't had any kind of medicine in a while...the pain is returning.'

"I can get painkillers too. It will make you feel like you did before you got hurt. You may even be able to talk, walk and laugh again." I add with a smile.
