"Hide. He's back" Xavier said shakily.
They did their invisibility spell at once.
The door opened to reveal Tyrell.
He walked in and stopped, as if sensing their presence.
If he knew, he didn't show it.
"You okay, now?" He asked Xavier.
"Yeah. Much better than before"
"Maybe I should stay with you or someone's coming for you?"
Xavier shrugged and lay on the bed.
"I feel sick" He said
"You are sick" Tyrell said as he looked down at him.
"It's worse this time" Xavier said
"How worse?" Tyrell asked
"I've been having this illness for years. It comes and goes but this one's different. I feel different. I feel dead and alive together"
Tyrell sighed heavily.
"Xavier. It's the illness messing with your mind. You'll get better. You are strong. I've got your medicine from Anne"
"Thanks. Can you put it down for a while? I have to close my eyes for a while"
"No. Take the medicine first. You'll feel better when you wake up" Tyrell said
Xavier stretched his hand, Palm up and Tyrell put the pills on it.
Looking at them together, Fina's mind was battling in confusion now.
"Can you tell Kit to see me? I need to talk to him"
"Sure." Tyrell said and turned.
Fina could swore his eyes flickered to them.
"Don't play any funny games. I'm watching you." He said
"What?" Xavier asked
He turned to Xavier.
"I'm warning you. You and Kit. I don't want to have the room in a mess"
Xavier tossed the pillow at him and he laughed heartily.
"Lazy rat" Tyrell said and walked out of the room.
Fina's heart was having trouble calming itself.
He had said that looking straight at her.
But he had laughed.
Was he talking to them or Xavier?
Xavier inspected the pills.
"Let me see that" Zo said
She took the pills from Xavier.
"I'll have this checked." Zo said
"This isn't your first?" Fina asked
Xavier tilted his head to look at her.
"No. It's been a while. But this one's worse" Xavier said
"How worse?" Fina asked
"Death worse" Xavier replied
Zo almost dropped the pills.
"Bryce, Ozias and Kit knows. But- I don't like to bother them. Tyrell have seen me at my worst. This is just the beginning but I don't understand why when I'm supposed to feel like this in the last stage, I'm feeling like this now"
Because it's time for you to die. They don't want you alive anymore.
Slow death. Just like Talon was supposed to be too.
Fina pushed the thought back.
"Let me give you this" Fina said
"No. Fina. Anne said not" Shelly said "Even she exempted Talon who was unconscious."
"Little" Fina said
"No" Shelly said
"What?" Xavier asked
"Nothing" Zo said quickly.
"Can you do me a favor?" Xavier asked
The girls looked at him.
"Can you tell Mr Walker I'm sick? I would like to stay with him till I'm okay. No. Can you take me to him? I know it'll be hard. Help me. In secret. I don't want anyone knowing my whereabouts."
Fina and Shelly nodded.
"Xavier. Who was Tyrell's ex?" Fina asked
Xavier shook his head.
"I can't re- wait. I think I do. In fact I can see her face"
"He's dying" Zo said in horror.
They can see no ghosts and they do see ghosts.
"She was really pretty. Smart. Talented."
Zo wanted to shake Xavier but Fina and Shelly stopped her.
"Who was she?" Fina asked slowly.
Xavier smiled with eyes closed. A tear falling from his eyes.
When he opened them, it was filled with sadness.
"Xiana Kang" He said
Fina almost fell on her knees.
"Oh my God" Shelly said
Zo just looked on. Blank face.
"He did dated Xiana but that wasn't his only ex"
Fina brows furrowed together.
"Then..?" Shelly asked
"Mélanie Crest was also his ex"
"Wow" Shelly said shakily.
Xavier voice was far away.
He was remembering not because he could but because he was not really with them anymore and could see things.
This was selfish of them but it was also important.
"And his last ex was…. Promise me you'll take me to Walker?" He asked, looking directly at Fina.
Fina nodded.
"His last ex was… Jessica Young" Xavier said and passed out.
The girls stood frozen in complete silence.
