Chapter 10: life anew

I woke to the sound of my damned cell phone. Looking at the clock on May-lin's coffee table, I maoned. It was 11:00 am so I realy needed to get up, but I didn't want to and certainly didn't want to talk to whokm ever was calling me. I looked to see who was calling anyways. It was Evra, which struck me as odd. He never woke unless......oh shit!

"Hello?" I said my voice a bit shaky.

"Gabri! Shita's not in her room and.....and I don't know where she is! She's not in the house at all. I looked everywhere!!" Evrawas in a state of panic. The loast thing he wanted was to dag Shita's soul to the afterlife, and I feel for him.

"Okay Evra, one thing." I told him."

"Yeah?"

"Calm down, okay. We'll fine her." I smiled, trying my best to make the better of a bad situation.

"I had a vison this time, Gabri!" Evra protested, and my blood ran cold. Him having a vision wasn't a good thing, it was the wrose think i n the world to hear.

"A-about what?" i asked, knowing I would more than likely dread the answer.

"Shita, she had a rope and was at or heading to the clock towler..and---"

I didn't bother with the rest, I hung up the phone on him. Evra will just have to bitch at me later, but Shita was in trouble, I had to go, but May-ln was still asleep. it 'd do rude to just leave; so I left her a little note, then rushed out of the house like a bat out of hell.

There was a big crowd at the old clock towler. I had a feeling in the pit of my stomach, and I knew whatever had the whole village in an up roat it had to be bad.

I pushed my way through only to have the crowd part for me. Some were crying, I wondered why. I would soon find out.

I looked up to see Shita's body, hanging, swaging in the slight breeze. Her limbs were limb at her sides, she was so pale, lips a bluish color; that wasn't the worst of it. I could se her neck bone wher it had broke through the skin, blood ran down her body, staining her clothing. I vomited, it was the most disgusting, and saddening thing thing I've seen in a long time.

I never believed Aku wehn he said that she really would kill herself, and now that opinion went right out the window. I can't believe it, why would she do it anyways.

"Gabri, you okay?" I heard May-lin's voice, feeling her hand touch my back, I was bent over not wanting to look at the horror before me.

"May-lin whatever you do, don't look up." I said, barely able to get the words out; I wipped my mouth.

"Why? OH MY GOD!!!" May-lin shouted, collapsing to her knees. " Shita......is she?"

"I....I don't know, but more than likely." I said, not really knowing what to tell her.

"Hey what ha-----" Evra and Aku stopped dead in their traks.

"Let's cut her down and see if we can bring her back." Aku said pulling out a knife. Shita was pretty hol to the ground so it wasn't much of a problem. Evra started to telling people to clear the area, and I was surprised that they all left.

"We can't......Her neck is broken." I started to shake, trying to keep myself for crying as I looked at Shita's body on the ground.

"Really?" Aku said having his hands on her neck, he twisted it hard, the bone snapped back into place. The sound was sicking, and my stomach heavyed.

"DON'T DO THAT!!!" I shoued covering my ears, everyone who was still watching stared at me. "She's dead what does it matter in her neck bone is sticking out!!"

Evra put his ear to Shita's chest, which pissed me off even more. She was dead couldn't they get that, and get over it!

"Aku....she has a heart beat." Evra said with a dumbfounded, yet happy expression.

"What?!" And and I said. I was better hearing that, but I had to hear ti for myself before I totally believed it. Her neck broke in a very bad spot, her chances of living where so small.

I Place my ear to her chest, while Aku took her wrist. I listened, hearing her heart beat, it was slow. Only 38 beats per minute, but she had a pulse. Thought she wasn't breathing, we had to get her to breathe.

"Gabri!" May-lin's voice broke through my thoughts.

"Yes, love."

"Heal her like you did me." She smiled at me.

"But this is bone not skin." I protested, I did have the gift to heal, but I wasn't sure if i could heal something as serious as a broke bone.

"Gabri please." A girl cired. It was one of Shita's friends, her name was Yuki. Seeing that look, those sad eyes, I nodded.

"I'll try." Though I didn't have much faith in myself.

"Okay." She nodded her head. May-lin for some reason always had faith in me.

I placed a shaking hand on her wounded, closing my eyes, thinking of the wound healing. Praying that Shita wouldn't leave me, this world. It wasn't only me who were praying, it was the people around me too; Aku, Evra, even May-lin.

"Gabri...." Shita's spoke softly, taking my hand.

"Shita!!" I opened my eyes, tears rolled down my face seeing her smile up at me. I wrapped her in my arms, not wanting to let go as if the world itself was ending at that very moment. "D-don't do that ever again. Okay?"

"Okay." Shita smiled and nodded.

I looked aroun, and May-lin was gone. That was odd, she was there just a second ago; must have gone home. She didn't really like being stared at, and now that I look around there was still a good amount of people that didn't listen to Evra. Plus I didn't blame her much.

"Gabri go comfort, May-lin." Shita said slowly sitting up, she said it as if something was wrong with May-lin.

"But you...." I started to protest.

"Go Gabri. Aku and Evra get my back, and I am really sory for this." She cut me off, looking really ashamed about her actions.

" Yeah, you should be with her." Evra smiled at me, agreeing with Shita like he did most of the time.

I looked at Aku for his approval, but he didn't say anything. So I took that as an okay, leaving to go, but not before giving Shita another hug and kiss on the cheek. She smiled sweetily at, and I smiled back as I walked away. I didn't want to thought. I didn't want to leaver her alone. She was hurting inside for some reason, I knew it. Though she had Evra nad akue there, but that wasn't enough. I wish I had asked wahat was wrong, but didn't. I never really did not matter how much I wanted too.
