Stay

Dixon stood watching him stare down at Maeve.
He was late. So late, he saw Maeve his heart bleed. He blinked the tears away, she was so pale. Her skin was white.
Dixon's lips parted but the word couldn't come out of it. Except gasped. What's he's gonna do now?
Detective Sean point at Maeve who he had covered with her dress since he caught her bare.
"The reason you came running here, is because of her, isn't it?"
He moved away from her.

Treading slowly towards Dixon.
"How do you explain this"
He gestured his hands towards the corpse.
Dixon's gaze went to the man on the floor whose eyes were plucked out but he was still able to recognize him with those scars of his.
The reason Bruce is so scared is because of him. The man he saw at the office with Peru his father’s friend.
The man he saw when he was been arrested.

It was this same man sent to them again.
If Maeve hadn't been here
What would have happened?
What was the connection with Peru? He had thought he looks familiar that day, and suspicious too. It was him after all.
He was the bastard that was hurting them all.
The Bastard!

He clutched his fist. Beside him.
She did a job, doing this to him. He deserves even more.
Something she did that please him. Was this. He would have watched him die.
"Are saying she killed him"
"Doesn't it look like it"

"look at the way she killed him, similar to the ones I have been seeing."
Dixon paused his lips and just watched him.
"Ever since the time of Lucas's death, even Lucas was murdered in such a similar way. How do you explain that"
"I think we should attend to her first"
"She's not going to die, is she? She's a beast.

That I've been searching for and I couldn't believe she had been with you all along.
Despite the people she killed. You hid her. Have you no conscience. Hiding a demon. That kills people's sons, daughters, and children.
You hid her Dixon. How could you?”
"Most of them ain't innocent.”

“That’s what you have to say, most of them are innocent, there!” He yelled in his face.
“Do you know how many people lost their lives? Do you know the tears shed every day because of her! You hid a demon-killing us all.”
“if she had killed this man, he might have killed me or my brother.”
“What about the others she had killed. You ain’t talking about them.
"A murderer will be a murderer this is no two ways about it. She has killed a lot of people. And am sure she was the one who gave you that injury the day we met. You know I’ve always suspected you.”
“I know you suspected me.”

“And now I was right, Dixon how could you. This isn’t supposed to happen, if you have brought her to be the very first time but now, you didn’t.”
“Bring her to you, what can you do, make her human? Tell me. Help her..”
“I would have stopped her from killing, I would have done that.”
“How would have done that, you think it’s easy,”
“But I could have given it a try.”

“Stop all these, She killed yes. But what can you and I do?”
Detective Sean paused his lips and just watched him.
"She's not even human. Why are treating her like one, Or is she human to you "
"She maybe not be human to you well she is to me, a human and I love her. And you can’t change the way I see her.”
Here he had said it.
He loves her.

Detective Sean scoffed. He wasn’t expecting this.
“There are a lot of things you don't understand detective. It wasn’t her fault she like this, all she ever wanted was to be human-like every other person. She was made a demon against her own will. She can’t stop killing even when she so much wanted to. Am gonna explain everything when she wakes up. We’re gonna help her become human again. We’re working on it.”
“Does it matters? She’s a demon. How can you change someone like her..”
“If there was a way to change her to being a demon then there must be a way to change her back.”
“you can’t take her then, she’s not leaving here with you “
“Is that a threat?”

“You can take her with you. She might end up killing you. And besides, you’re planning on keeping locked up in the prison. She hates it. It makes her remember what she went under the basement of Lucas.”
Detective Sean looked unstable for a moment. He was right.
He was standing close to Dixon.
" that doesn’t mean you can change it. It is what it is"
“She’s a demon, take her and see if you would survive the next day.”
He moved backward.

"Take her and leave quickly we never had this conversation "
He gave Dixon a last glance.
"But if she hurts one more person am right in front of your doorstep. I don’t care if she kills me. I’ll have her chained..”
He walked away. But halted. He had forgotten. He had something to say to him. H had promised Mare he would bring her daughter to her.
“Her mother is alive, she wants to see her daughter.”
Dixon was frozen, she was alive. Maeve’s mom.
“Where is she?”

“Town hospital. When she’s awake tell her, and take her to see her mother.”
“You’re coming with us right?”
He nodded.
“And Eamon. He’s gonna get released right.”
“yes, he would be released soon.”
“Thank you.”
He only nods and walked away watching looking back the second time.
Dixon squats in front of Maeve, he caresses her face with his hands she was cold. He pulled his shirt and covered her with it. He quickly picks her up and carries her in a bridal style.

She was so weak, her hair was all over her face, and it was turning white, dark circles were around her eyes. He noticed he could barely hear her breathing. It was so low.
Stay with me Maeve.
“Please, stay alive please”
He muttered.
He doesn't want to lose someone else, and if he was to lose someone it shouldn't be Maeve. Not her.
He ran running to the car with her in his arms. He had to save her.
Saving her was saving himself as well.
He opens the car door and places her in the back seat.
He pulled out his phone.
"Hello Dr. green"
"I need your help..."

It’s Maeve, she was breathing a while ago but now she can’t breathe”
He rushed his words in panicked.
“She isn’t breathing, am scared dr.”
He felts his eyes get wet.
He sniffed.
"On my way Dixon.”
He pulled the phone away from his ear.
Tucking her properly in the car.
"Please.." he prayed
Driving away.....
