"Ruby, is that you?"
"DENTIST....She's awake. She's awake.
Elwin, I'm here.
Squeeze my hand. It will be ok. Are you ok?"
"I…..I don't think I'm ready."
"Elwin, can you squeeze my hand? Tighter?"
"How is she?"
"I'm trying, Ruby. I really am, but…."
"She's awake, but….."
"But?"
"Her body is still too weak to move."
"Can't you heal it?"
"Not if I don't know what I am healing. Her...or her?
Since I don't know what she can turn into; for It is still dormant; I might kill it."
"Isn't it seperate from her?"
"That's just it. I don't know
…..If it were, I would have been able to feel two separate hearts in her, but....."
"Maybe this was a bad idea, Ruby. Maybe...…maybe....
What if I am not the Princess?
….What if I never was?"
"Whooooo"
"Ruby, wait. I need to tell you some…
*hooouunnkkk….shuuuuuu. Hooouuuunkkkkk….shuuuuuu.*
"Ruby, you can't just do that all the time. Their will come a day where you will no longer be able to walk away from a problem, but have to face it."
"As long as there is a way over; I'll deal with what's inside later.
Kain, it's your responsibility now to take over until Elwin feels better.
Can you promise to handle it?"
"I….uhhh..."
"I know every other night you leave town; you don't have to tell me where you go, because I have a hunch.
So I am asking....will that be a problem, or will I have to step in?"
".....I've seen you lead. Heard your Shot, and seen your downfill."
"Then what if I were to tell you I have seen yours?"
"I....."
"....This may be our little secret right now, but if you don't change; I can tell you exactly when, where, how, and with what people, and what weapon you will be killed with.
And let me tell you.....the enemy is not overseas."
*Gulp*
"I…..I......I won't let you down."
"You might not, but Dentist surely will."
"I don't see an airstrip, or even a roadway, Ma'am."
"Forgot that info.
…You know what? Just lower us a few, and we'll hop off."
"Hop…..off?"
"Kain, I've done this so many times, I could do this with my eyes closed. Course, never dived from an Airplane, but….
How do you think we were able to rescue you?"
"..Ruby, I am not you. I know you want people to be your robots, and never ever make a mistake. Never ever show fear. Never ever be worried about this that, or the other thing; but I am here to tell you; I am afraid. I don't live as long as you. My bones are not as strong as yours.
..And if I jump....I'll die."
"Doors, Dentist."
"Opening."
'Doors'
*Click*
*Phuuuuashhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh*
"Wait, Ruby; I didn't mean you to give me a…."
"Kain, I don't want you to be me. Nor do I want you to be Ruby. I want you to be you, because that is who you are. I may protect your life; and wish I could dictate it; but I can't.
Their are still days where somebody dies that I have absolutely no control over. I have never met them, besides a Petal. A Petal that now falls off my branches, and withers to the floor.
So I know I can't make you all Robots; nor can I just put you all to sleep in a Mothers Embrace. I have to let you go. I have to let you…
*Push*
"Wuuuaaaaaaahhhhh."
"FLY!!!"
"RUBY, WHAT DID you just do? He doesn't have a parachute on.
You can't just throw someone without preparing them."
"...I don't have a parachute either."
"Ruby, wait…..What about El…."
*Phuuueeeeeemmmm*
"RUBY, YOU'RE GONNA GET YOURSELF KILLED. ALL OF YOU. AND I AM NOT GOING TO BE HERE TO BE A WITNESS TO YOUR…..
*SWOOOOO0OOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSHHHHHHHHHH.*
Rescue?"
"DRAGON, On me!!!
Beast, take Kain."
".....Now that's not something you see everyday."
"DENTIST, WE'LL MEET YOU DOWN AT THE WATER FOUNTAIN. JUST PUT THE PLANE IN THE BACK."
"Money truly can't buy you everything. Maybe a Plane...…..but definitely not an experience."
*VROOOOOOOOM*
