“Maeve!” Dixon yelled. It was past three hours she left and he hadn't seen her or know where she had gone. Albert wanted to see her. That's why he was looking for her. Where could she have gone?
“Maeve.”
He called again.
“Where the hell are you?” He called her name again but there wasn't any reply. Where could she be? Did she run away, she couldn't, she promised she was gonna stay with him.
“Maeve!”
“Keep your voice down,” Mark said, leaning on the door with his eyes partially closed.
“You must be the boyfriend.”
“Who are you?”
“Hey babe..” He Pushed the hair off her face and kissed her cheeks. She turned, sleepily to face him. His fingers lingers on her face, drawing lines on it.“When did you get back?”“Few minutes ago.”“Are you okay?” She sat up, rubbing her weary eyes. He sat on the bed. Taking her hands in his.“I wasn’t a while ago, but when I got to see you, I couldn’t be more than happy. Don’t ever leave me. I don’t think I would survive not having you beside me each day.”“I’m here. With you.”“Let’s go somewhere tonight, somewhere far from
“Momma?”“Yes baby. It’s me.” Mare pulled her into a hug again, patting her hair. Maeve had her head on her shoulders. Concealing everything, she wasn’t gonna let the tears flow, because it wasn’t just tears that would come out of it. It was more than that. Something she can’t let her see. Something she mustn’t know about her daughter, more reason she can’t stay with her for too long. It was her mother, right here and yet she can’t stay. It was just a few days left before she dies and the demon takes over her completely. Her soul would be trapped forever. That’s if it doesn’t die. And there was no going back. Dixon mustn’t know of the sacrifice, it would only get him hurt and worried sick about her and she couldn’t bare to see him this hurt. Because of her.He had been a
Maeve came out of the ward, after putting Mare to bed. She had slept off after their discussions. She saw him, lost in thought. His head leaning on the wall. What was he thinking about.“Are you okay? Dixon! Dixon.” She shook him a little and then he blinked and jolted off the thought that he was.“Hey.”“What are you thinking about, I’ve never seen you this lost in thought.”“I was thinking about someone, I shouldn’t waste my thinking about it. How is mom?”“She’s sleeping.”“Come, Let’s go.” He took her hands. And they began walking away from the ward.&nbs
Maeve watched Dixon sleeps. Staring at his face caressing it with her fingers. He stirred and looked at her with a smile, though still sleepy.“Ain’t you asleep yet. Come lay beside me.”“Ain’t sleepy yet. I’ll join you soon though. I had to go somewhere first.”“Where to? It’s late already.”“I’ll be fine. And it would be a quick meeting.”“Humm. Don’t stay out too late, it would be too cold without you In here.” He closed his eyes again and slept off. She chuckled and brought her head down and kissed his lips.A day was gone.
“Still ain’t gonna tell him anything.” Dr. Green said, making breakfast. He tossed the egg and flipped. Maeve was in the kitchen with him. Drinking the green tea, he had made. Her gaze was elsewhere as she kept on exhaling. While taking the tea.“You don’t seems too good.”He studied her. She was still brooding over something. Her hair was almost white now. Just a little remaining.Today was the last day to him. Since it was the second day, she had to leave Dixon side before the cock crock. And then, he sighed as well.He couldn’t find anything else other than the sacrifice of death. That was the only thing he got. And nothing else.He moved to her side
Dixon stirs and turns to his sides, slowly his eyes open. It was still quite dark and he wasn’t so sure of what the time was yet. But he could guess, it was past four in the morning. He sighed and stood up. Naked. Searching for his pants.Then it hits him.Maeve!She wasn’t by his side.He walked back to the spot where they slept. She wasn’t there. He ran shortly to take up his clothes and slide them on.Where’s she?Her clothes weren’t there either.“Alien!” He yelled. His voice echoed as he shouted.
“Why didn’t you tell him!” Eamon yelled at Green, he keeps hitting his fist on the table, biting his lips in annoyance.“You should have told him, how do you expect him to feel when he wakes up and she’s gone. He has every right to know!”Green was pacing in front of him, with so much quilt in him.“I wanted to tell him. She won’t let me, I made a promise to her. That I wasn’t gonna tell him, she told me she was gonna tell him herself. I don’t know. I..”“Dixon will be so mad when he finds out what you’ve done. There were days you could have let it slip out but hell no! You held it in. Told no one. You allow her to bear the pains alone. She alone on that painful and lonely
A car slow down in front of her, then stopped, he stare at her through the window. “Maeve!” He called, she turned and stare at him. It was Mark. “What are you doing here?” “Taking a walk.” “Where’s Dixon?” “He isn’t here.” “He left you alone?” “I left him.” “What do you mean, get in the car, I’ll give you a room ride.” “I told you I’m taking a walk. You should leave, you didn’t see me today.” “Maeve, What’s...” The look in her eyes made him silence, he said nothing else and watched her walking away like the dead. She didn’t stare back at him or wave. Unlike the Maeve he knew. Something was wrong then. He didn’t know if he had to follow her or just go away. She left Dixon, because he would never leave her alone. He was always buy her side like glue and now he wasn’t. He searched through his contact list, if he had his contact, but the prick was being a prick, so he doesn’t have it. He didn’t have any of their contacts. Now calling them that he saw her was out of it. He had t
