#10 - Just Let Me...

Summary - What if after Harper helps Blade up and guides them out of the room, hopefully far away from Aadya's grimy hands, the wicked old witch has something else planned??? What if, it takes awhile to soak into his side?

[]Just an idea based off of An Overcome of Darkness, Blade of the Ultima, and Chicago Med[][]

She froze. Unfolding just before her very eyes was the mere sound of his voice echoing throughout the prison. How she even came to the sole prison that wrecked her soul, questioned her deeply. She turned around and looked up, seeing her fiancé holding his side with his right hand.

"Blade!"she shouted, running over to him.

"Please don't die."she whispered as he gave her a pained smile.

"I'll try not to."he told her, not promising her anything as he didn't know what would happen to his injured side.

For that was the second time he was stabbed in the side. "You're going to be okay! I promise."he heard her say loudly to herself.

"Just don't, leave me be."he told her, purposely being stubborn.

She huffed. "No. You'll die."she disagreed with him.

"SO LET ME!"Blade snapped. "I'm sorry."he apologized, noticing her mad expression.

She stayed quiet.

"I...I lost both my parents, Harper. And nothing's going to bring them back..."he trailed off, being careful of what he said. "Sure, I have Alina and you guys, but not them."he added.

Harper rolled her eyes. "Not everything's gotta be about you, Blade!"she yelled at him.

"WELL I'M SORRY IF I CAN'T BE PERFECT!"he shouted back.

His golden eyes turned crimson as his pitch black ears and tail appeared, swaying slightly in the imaginary breeze.

"No. You can't. You keep secrets."she told him.

"Secrets I was forced to keep! Harper, I'm dangerous and fe—"he trailed off, feeling a wave of white hot unbearable pain slam into his left side.

He leaned a hand against the wall, steadying himself as he was hit with sudden dizziness and closed his eyes; trying to rid it.

"YOU'RE DANGEROUS?! OH, PLEASE, I'VE SET PEOPLE ON FIRE BLADE! I THINK DANGEROUS IS A TINY WORD TO DESCRIBE THAT!"Harper shouted.

"Har..."Blade mumbled as he tried to avoid the darkness forming in his vision.

He fell backwards with a soft thud as Harper heard Alina run in, gasping loudly as she slid over to her brother.

"Night—!"Alina started to speak as Nightmare pulled out his phone, getting way ahead of her.

"On it already."he told her.

The group heard sirens blare their red and blue lights loudly as the white ambulance came to an abrupt stop. An orange haired woman and a raven haired woman jumped out as the raven haired woman held her mouth in shock.

"If you want to wait here, you can, Aph."the orange haired one told her.

Aph shook her head. "No, I want to help him."she told her friend and coworker.

The orange haired woman nodded and ran over to where Alina was, getting right to work with wrapping his side until it could get looked at properly. Aph pushed the gurney over to her coworker and waited.

"On three, Aph."the woman told Aph, who nodded.

"One, Two, Three."the woman said as the two lifted him into the gurney.

"Alina, what happened?"Aph asked her daughter, as the girl looked down and shrugged.

"I don't know."she told her mom, her brown eyes glancing at her unconscious brother on the gurney.

Aph nodded as she jumped into the back while her coworker jumped into the driver's side. Her caramel eyes shared a look with Alina, silently answering a question.

[five minutes later]

"How is he, Aph?"her coworker asked, her voice soft as she pulled the ambulance into Phoenix General's Emergency area.

"Still alive, for now."Aph mumbled; she was extremely worried about him and knew Aaron would be too.

A pink haired meif'wa ran out to greet the paramedics and was followed by a black haired man and a blonde haired man.

"My Irene, Blade?"the black haired man asked as Aph nodded.

"We believe he was stabbed but we're not sure."the orange haired woman admitted.

The meif'wa and the blonde nodded.

"Get him into trauma 2."the blonde said, as the orange haired woman wheeled him into said room.

She again, counted to three as she and the meif'wa lifted him off the gurney and onto the bed.

"Get an IV started, please."the meif'wa told the blonde haired man, who had just walked in. "Lucy, let's take a look, shall we?"she added, looking at the orange haired woman.

"Yeah. I wanna know how deep it is, it looked deep when I wrapped it."Lucy muttered as she slowly undid the cloth wrapping around the teen's abdomen.

Warm red liquid seeped through the left side as Lucy quickly pressed a heap of guaze onto his left side.

"Nana?"Lucy asked.

"It's deeper than we expected."Nana admitted, handing Lucy yet another heap of guaze as blood soaked the first heap.

"I'm going to go tell Aph and Aaron, wish me luck."Lucy said, as Nana nodded and took her place in applying pressure on the teen's side.

[outside trauma 2]

"So, it's deep?"Aph asked as Aaron held her tight while Lucy told them the news.

"Yeah, we're positive it ruptured something but until we get an X-ray or a CT scan, we won't know what."Lucy explained as the couple nodded, trying to take in all the information.

"Is there, I don't know, anyway to fix it?"Aaron asked her.

Lucy shook her head. "I don't know."she told them.

"Please tell me there's something, Lucy. ANYTHING!"Aph shouted, almost on the verge of flat out crying.

"I'm afraid..."she was cut off by the blonde throwing something at her face.

She removed it, gasping quite loudly. It was the scan of Blade's left side and judging by the looks of it; she knew that she was right when she thought it ruptured something.

"You're afraid of what?"Aph asked.

"It's—"she was cut off by the loud alarm blaring and watched as Kim, Garroth, and Travis all run in.

"CRAP, WE'RE LOSING HIM!"Travis shouted.
