"Why is it not working?" Stanley shouted, pain filling his voice. "She's already healed. Why is she not breathing? Why won't she wake up?"
Stella looked at Stanley's frustrated voice and down at the young woman who had been fully healed and yet remained dead.
She did not understand what was happening. Why wouldn't the woman come back to life now that she was healed?
"Life is more than just the body. You need more than just the body to live," she said. "Where is her soul?"
Stanley paused, looking toward Stella. He slowly came to understand what had most likely happened. "We took it," he said. "Either you or I took it."
"Took it?" Stella asked with a confused look.
"You know," Stanley explained. "Because we're Novas."
Stella's eyes widened in great surprise. "You know I'm a Nova?"
