Can it be.. undone?

Deryck looked at the woman, his own expression harsh and unpleasant.

"...I never wanted to kill her." he said.

"I just wanted the eye." he told her.

"But I'm NOT willing to sacrifice her for it. Hunters do not hunt mages. And you've made it clear that your goal was to destroy my sister." he continued.

"I was nothing more than a pawn for that." he went on.

"You taught me to hate my enemy, and kill my enemy." he then said.

"...I just realised who my enemy really was."

"Tch." She didn't manage to get anything more out though, before coughing violently, blood coming along with it. She couldn't speak, and it wasn't hard to tell, or guess, either.

With her last bit of life, she let out one more curse toward Desiree's existence, and Deryck's betrayal.

The silence afterward hung heavy in the air, broken by whimpers from Desiree.

"......" Deryck was silent, before walking up towards Desiree.

"I don't like you." he said.

"I never did." he told her.

"However... this was too far, I admit." he went on, grabbing her phone out of her pocket.

"You need help." he continued.

"Who am I calling for you?" he asked.

Desiree was silent for a few seconds.

"... R... Rene..." she said quietly.

"C-c-c-c-calder." She added, knowing that she had him listed as Dr. Calder in her emergency contacts.

Deryck looked through the contacts, and found Rene, hitting the button.

As soon as he did, and Rene answered, he gave him Desiree's location, before dropping the phone beside her.

"...here's hoping we never see each other again." he told her.

With that, he turned and walked off, disappearing into the darkness... with Rene appearing in the area about 20 seconds later.

"Desiree!" he exclaimed.

"What happened!?" he yelled, getting close and kneeling down closer to her.

"I don't..." Desiree started, before wincing, severely.

"Check J...." She managed to get out after a few seconds.

"Light." She added, as a means of trying to tell him what happened to Jaden. All she could manage was light, and she hoped that was enough to get it out that he was hit with a beam of light, or more likely, pure.

Jaden let out a pained cough.

"No..." he said.

"Desiree... eye..." he went on.

"She's hurt..." he muttered further.

Rene just sighed deeply.

"I'm taking you both to ER, where triage can properly be done." he told them.

With that, the three of them were encased in bubbles, and they disappeared.

-About 3 hours later-

"That should do it." Rene said to Desiree, in her room.

"All your injuries have been healed, except for your eye." he told her.

"THAT needs to heal on its own, and you may experience slight blindness or blurry vision in it for up to a week." he explained.

Desiree just sighed.

"Well, even if I am completely blind permanently, could be argued as not so bad. I'm still alive." She answered.

"I'm amazed Deryck saved my life like that though." She admitted

"..." Rene was silent, before sighing.

"It IS unbelievable." he agreed.

"But... no sense in looking a gift horse in the mouth." he said.

"Your injuries, though rough, were easily fixable." he told her.

"So you can leave whenever you wish." he continued.

"Which is to say... yeah, you're being discharged." he laughed.

Desiree nodded.

"... Is Jaden ok?" She asked, concern in her voice.

"I know that he was hit with what I suspect was pure mana.' She continued. ". . . no one has told me anything... is he ok?"

"....ah, yes." Rene replied.

"Jaden." he said.

"He was hit with pure mana, yes." he confirmed.

"And it did... quite a number on him..." he admitted.

"You're free to go see him." he then told her, giving her Jaden's room number.

"He's allowed visitors right now."

Desiree noded.

"thank you, Rene." She said before they finished up and she was able to leave. He walked with her to Jaden's room, before sh eknocked and poked her head in.

"Hey there, Jaden." She said after after a moment, when she saw him. When he waved, she made her way over.

"Hey." She repeated with a smile. She didn't have her headset, as wasn't too surprising.

"How're you feeling?" She asked.

"....been better." Jaden replied.

"My chest hurts. Like, a lot." he told her.

"But it's to be expected." he sighed.

"Mom's been notified, so I should be seeing her soon." he went on.

"...still processing what happened in the park..." he then admitted.

"What in specific?' Desiree asked.

"The fact that they were there, the fact that my Mother is now dead, that deryck saved my life, or the fact that he just took off?" She asked, her voice curious.

"Because... it's probably better not to try and focus on it. Just... move on. It's the best I can do."=

"Everything." Jaden responded.

"Everything about that." he told her.

"But you're right." he then said.

"We... really just should move on." he agreed.

"At least we know your mother will never bother you again?" he then said.

Desiree nodded, but was silent.

"I'm... finally free." She commented after a few seconds.

"Mother is gone, she won't be harrassing or tormenting me any longer, and my brother as good as said that he would leave me alone" She continued.

"Perhaps now... now I can actually properly live my life." She said before smirking slightly. It was more of a smile, really, though.
