THE MYSTERY GIRL のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

 “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 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.

 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. 

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

 When Dixon woke up, he was in the hospital, his head was bandaged, Bruce was by his side. And he felt so weak and tired. “You’re awake.” He nods. “How long have I been here?” “Twenty hours.” “what?” He tried standing up from the bed.“Hey, stop, don’t try standing.” “It’s the almost full eclipse. I need to go.” “You ain’t going anywhere.” “What’s the time?”
