Mind Wave

chapter 14

Amanda teleported into the center with loud thud she didn't know where else to go.

"Michael, please help. I'm sorry for what I did please help me." Amanda crashed to the ground as the last words escaped her mouth.

"What happened?" Michael rushed from his bedroom to be welcomed by the pale looking figure.

"I'm dying, Dian shot me." Amanda struggles " the bullet is special." Coughs out blood. "spreading poison." Amanda said weeping.

"Shhh, Stop talking." Miceal eased her and started to open up her shirt to open up the area of contact. " please endure the pain while I remove the bullet." Michael started to get to work wgich was followed my muffled tears and screams.

It wasn't just a struggle to resist screaming but a struggle to resist the poison, like a part of her knew she would die.

Michael successfully extracted the bullet and treated the wound but Amanda did not get better instead she became very hot and started sweating and after a while she became cold and lifeless she was dying even though the bullet had been removed.

Michael felt like he failed again and was frustrated watching the second person he loved die. The poison still coursing through her veins ad there was nothing he could do.

Michael took her home and call Stan for he had done everything in his power to tranquilize the poison but it was specially made for her, made to wipe her out.

As Michael was getting his things ready for the journey he heard a knock on the door at first he thought it was the other persons Stan had told him about that wanted Amanda turned in but when he peeped through the door whole he saw it was Stan. 'How does he know where I live, oh he is Stan.'

"Where is Amanda?" Stan asked as he entered as he entered the room. "She is under arrest."

"She is on the sofa and if you feel arresting her will prevent her from dying then go ahead." Michael said furiously because of the pain he had felt from abstaining from the one he loved and because his keeping away only led to her getting hurt, maybe if he was there he would have stopped Amanda from going against Dian.

"What is wrong with her?" Stan asked and moved towards the sofa knelt beside her felt her temperature, checked her pulse and waited for Michael's response.

"Dian poisoned her with this bullet and I've tried everything to bring her back to consciousness but nothing seemed to be working.
Immediately Michael was through talking, Stan took Amanda in his arms.

"Where are you taking her?" Michael asked trying to stop him.

"I just told you she is under arrest." Stan said and made his way to the door.

Michael blocked the door. "You're not going anywhere without me."
"Then you're under arrest too, now stop blocking me and follow me, the more time we take the worse it will get." Stan said signaling to Michael to help him open the door.

Michael, Stan and Amanda went to Zoey's house for it was the only well equipped lab in miles.

Amanda was laid in Zoey's room while Stan and Michael worked out the solution from that night till morning and by mourning the worst had been realized there was no cure.

Stan became so furious with himself for not being able to keep his promise. Michael felt even more depressed at the thought of living in a world were Amanda did not exist.

"Stan isn't there a way."

"There is none, her alien side is dying and she can't turn to a human now or she will die from the pain of strain neither can she stay alien."
"So where does she stand now."
