Episode 10
*a week soon passed, n still there was no word frm either the doctors, Hecro n Drix or the Mole regarding a donor*
Thrax; 8was starting to lose his patience8
Ozzie: *was the same as well, bt had to keep it together for Jared's sake as he held the boy's hand, nuzzling against it*
Thrax; 8stroked his mate's back8
Ozzie: *whispers to Jared* I knw u can hear me, baby. U be strong. Mommy n Daddy will get u a new heart soon. U keep on fighting
Thrax; You're our brave little soldier.
Ozzie: *kisses Jared's hand*
Thrax; He'll be ok baby.
Ozzie: I knw, bt I just worry...
Thrax; I know baby.
Ozzie: The docs r in a dilemma as well. They keep ending up finding either one tht's matching. Not both. They find one with same blood, bt not same species, n vice versa all the time
Thrax; 8bit his lip hard8
Ozzie: Any news frm the others?
Thrax; 8shook his head8
Ozzie: *sighs* Wht r they doing...?
Thrax; They're looking all over but the results are the same.
Ozzie: *gets up* I'm a little hungry. I'm gonna get something frm the cafeteria. Want any?
Thrax; Just water please.
Ozzie: OK *leaves to the cafeteria*
Thrax; 8leaned against the wall8
Ozzie: *got himself a chicken tortilla n orange juice n water for Thrax n waited in line to pay*
Mole: *appears out of the blue beside Jared's bed* My, my, so much machinery hooked up on a kid. A bit off, dont u think?
Thrax; 8snarled8
Mole: Touchy, touchy. N I'm here to bring good news for ya
Thrax; What/
Ozzie: *just came in* Oh! Mole! Havent seen u for so long! U got good news?
Mole: Ah, Pretty Baby. Beautiful as usual. Yeah, as a matter of fact. Got ur heart for ya. Bt I dunno if ur gonna want to accept it
Thrax; Well/
Mole: *clears his throat* U knw the donor vry well. An old archfoe I might add
Ozzie: *gasp* No...U dont mean...?
Thrax; 8stepped forward8
Mole: Yup, tht's right. Ur dear ol' Elektra
Ozzie: Bt...Bt she's a neuron cell! She cant be compatible with Jared! N she's...she's...
Thrax; Wrong spieces bastard and even if she was the same we would never want her heart in our son.
Mole: Too bad. Coz despite being a neuron cell, she is also half-meds, n half-meds hv the attribute of assimilating n adjusting into new environments n bodies, n also hv self-healing properties. N being half-meds means she has attributes of conversion, changing her DNA to be compatible with anyone else. Its a vry rare find, u knw. U dont get it anywhere else
Ozzie: Why would u evn hv Elektra's body anyways?
Mole: It wouldnt hurt to experiment, Pretty Baby, n I was given clearance by Spryman to do whtever I want just as long as the problem is solved, so I kept her body for research purposes. U'd be interested in wht fun things I found in...
Thrax; 8roared8 Enough.
Mole: *sighs* Point is she's got a strong heart, n if u throw this away, ur throwing a chance of a lifetime
Ozzie: *looked uneasily at Thrax, not sure wht to decide*
Thrax; 8growled8
Mole: *shrugs* Alright. Ur funeral *walks away*
Ozzie: M...Mole...it's not we dont appreciate it bt...
Mole: I knw wen I'm not wanted, Pretty Baby. Cya ard *disappears*
Thrax; 8punched a hole in the wall8
Ozzie: Th...Thrax, pls... *a little terrified with Thrax's temper*
Thrax; 8pants8
Ozzie: *hugs him, trying to calm him dwn* He's kinda right though...Wht options do we hv bt her heart?
Thrax; But who knows what'll it do to Jared.
Ozzie: I knw... *tries to hold bk his tears* Why is it so hard to make decisions...?
Thrax; 8wrapped his arms round him8
Ozzie: I feel so helpless right now...like nothing I do is enough for my family...
Thrax; That's not true.
Ozzie: Yes it is. I cant evn make a simple decision for Jared's life!
Thrax; It's risking his life ethier way.
Ozzie: *bit his lip n buries his face onto Thrax's chest*
Thrax; 8held him close and nuzzled him8
Ozzie: Wht r we to do now? We let this one go. I'm scared tht there wont be time to get Jared another
Thrax; 8bit his lip8
Ozzie: I just hope Jared will hold out till then
Thrax; So do I my love, so do I.
*another week passed by, n there was still no news, n Jared's signs of pulling through was wearing thin*
Thrax; 8paced furiously8
Ozzie: *looks worriedly at Jared* The doctor just asked me if it would be better to take Jared off life support. He said his chances of survival are wearing thin, n he...
Thrax; Don't say it.
Ozzie: But...But... *looks dwn sadly*
Thrax; We'll find a way. 8he hadn't gotten any sleep for the last couple of weeks8
Ozzie: *was feeling distressed wen his cell phone suddenly rang, answers it* Hello?
Thrax; 8cocked an ear8
Ozzie: Oh hey Drix...Uh-huh...Uh-huh... *widened his eyes* Wht?? U sure?? Reli?? Th-Tht's great! OK...OK, I'll cya then! *hangs up the phone n hugged Thrax out of impulse, tears welling up in his eyes*
Thrax; What's going on/
Ozzie: They've found it...! They've found a heart for Jared...!! They did it!!
Thrax; Who's the donour/
Ozzie: I dunno. We hv to find out frm Drix later. He's coming with the father of the donor later to sign the papers
Thrax; 8nods8
Ozzie: Oh, thank Hector! Our son's gonna be saved~! *sobs in Thrax's arms*
Thrax; 8stroked his hair8
*abt an hour later, Drix came in with the donor's father, who looked like an average joe of a white blood cell*
Thrax; 8cocked a brow8
Drix: *comes up to Thrax* Hey, Thrax! Hey Oz! Meet Eli Pullox, the father of the donor
Eli: Hello everyone *held out his hand to shake*
Thrax; 8raised a brow8
Ozzie: *nudged Thrax* Be polite, Thrax *takes his hand to shake* Hi. I'm Osmosis n this is my husband Thrax. I reli appreciate wht ur doing
Eli: Dont thank me, thank my sweet little girl Tracy. I knw she would've wanted it this way
Thrax; Your daughter/
Eli: Yes. She died of cancer last week, bt before she died, she requested tht she wanted to donate herself to anyone who required her, n I just looked up at an ad ur cold pill friend put up, n I knew it was destiny
Drix: Its true. We had to resort to posting ads thru the brain centre database to find a donor. We're so lucky to find him
Ozzie: We reli appreciate it so vry much
Drix: Now, if u would just sign these papers here *passes the documents for Eli to sign*
Thrax; 8smiled gently at Eli8 Thank you
Eli: No problem. I hope my Tracy's heart will be put to good use for ur son *signs the papers*
Drix: Now for either parent to sign as well *passes the documents to Thrax*
Thrax; 8shakenly sighed8
Drix: Thanks. Now I'll just issue this to the docs n a surgery might be done hopefully by tonight
Ozzie: Ur a saint, Drix
Thrax; Thanks man
Drix: *shrugs n smiles* Wht r family friends for? *leaves*
Eli: Ur son must be a real fighter to hold out for so long
Thrax; 8nods8
Ozzie: Yes, we r reli happy tht he could be able to hold out so long for ur arrival
Eli: Like I said, thank my beautiful daughter for all this *smiles gently at them*
Thrax; 8walked up to Eli then surprisenly pulled him into a hug8
Eli: *widened his eyes a little before chuckling, returning the hug* There there, now. Ur boy will be just fine
Thrax; Believe me you don't know how greatful we are, I don't want the other opion for my son.
I didn't want
Eli: Oh? N wht was tht, if u dont mind me asking?
Ozzie: *looked dwn*
Thrax; 8looked at his mate8
Eli: *noticed the tense atmosphere n waved it away* Ah ha ha, its OK if u dont want to tell me. It's not reli my business to pry. I just hope my daughter's efforts r not in vain n tht ur son will be able to accept her heart
Thrax; So do we
Ozzie: *nods in agreement*
Eli: *looks at his watch* Well, I better make arrangements with the morgue to bring my little girl's body ovr. I hope to see u guys tonight for the surgery
Thrax; We'll be there
Ozzie: I look forward to see it as well
Eli: *nodded n left the hospital*
Thrax; 8sighed in relief8
Ozzie: Thank Hector... Our son's gonna be alright *nuzzled into Thrax's chest*
Thrax; 8kissed his forehead8
Ozzie: I feel as if a huge weight had just lifted frm my chest right now
Thrax; 8smiled gently8
Ozzie: *hugs Thrax* I hope everything will go well
Thrax; Me to baby, me to
*soon nightfall came n Eli came to the hospital as promised. The doctors then led them upstairs so tht they could watch frm the operating theatre the whole procedure*
Thrax; 8clasped and unclasped his hands8
Ozzie: *took his hand n clasped it together with him*
Eli: *looked dwn, his hands pressed against the glass*
*below at the operating theatre, the doctors wheeled in the donor's body, who was a regular young white blood she-cell who would probably be a female version of Eli, n she looked abt a few yrs older than Jared*
Thrax; 8now looked worried8
Ozzie: Oh Hector, she's so young. Its so sad for her to die so young
Eli: Well, we cant fight fate, I suppose. I tried everything to cure her cancer. Nothing worked. She died right in my arms
Thrax; They have yet to find a cure I'm afraid. 8remembering coming across a few in his youth8
*the doctors soon got to work, first cutting n removing the heart out of the little girl's chest while the other docs opened a cavity on Jared's chest to put the heart in*
Thrax; 8luckily had a strong stomach8
Ozzie: *had seen worse during his days as immunity, so a surgery like tht didnt bother him much*
*the docs soon connected the veins n arteries n whtnot n waited to see if it is successfully taken in*
Eli: *watched with a nervous breath*
Thrax; 8secretly crossed his claws8
Ozzie: *held his breath, waiting*
*aftr abt 1 minute which felt like forever, the beeping machine indicated tht the heartbeat has started n the heart was successfully taken in by Jared's body*
Thrax; 8smiled a little8
*both Oz n Eli looked like they just remembered how to breath*
*the doctors congratulated each other n looked up with congrats looks to the trio watching before sewing the cavity bk up, removing the life support frm Jared*
Thrax; 8nods to the surgines in thanks8
*soon the surgery is ovr, n the docs wheeled Jared bk to ICU while the others wheeled the girl's body to the morgue*
Thrax; 8inhaled deeply8
Ozzie: *hugs Eli gratefully* Thank you...Thank you...!!
Thrax; Thank you for doing this.
Eli: Thank u for letting me. I wish ur son will hv a long n healthy life
Ozzie: May Hector bless u with a happy life ahead too
Thrax; 8nods8
Eli: I better go chk on my little girl now. I'm gonna need to discuss the funeral process now tht she had done her duty to help u
Ozzie: Ur welcome to visit Jared later
Thrax; If you need any help with anything, don't hesitate to ask.
Eli: I will. N I'll see ur son once I'm done with my little girl. Cya
Ozzie: *waved goodbye to him, watching him as he left*
Thrax; 8wrapped his arm round his mate8
Ozzie: *hugged him bk*
Doctor: U can go see ur son now, bt dont be long. He needs to recover
Thrax; Thank you
Ozzie: *took Thrax's hand n eagerly went to see Jared*
Thrax; 8led him to the room8
Jared: *was no longer hooked on life support, n the heartbeat machine showed tht his vitals were strong*
Thrax; 8sighed in relief8
Ozzie: *took Jared's hand n nuzzled it against his cheek*
Jared: *slowly stirred n looked up* M...Mommy...?
Thrax; We're here Jared.
Jared: Dang...I had the weirdest dream...I dreamt I was...attacked n my heart ripped outta my chest...
Ozzie: It wasnt a dream, baby, bt it's ovr now. Ur OK *kisses his forehead*
Thrax; 8massaged his hand8
Jared: W...Where am I...? *looked ard*
Thrax; In hospital.
Jared: W...Wht am I doing here...?
Ozzie: *gently n briefly explained everything to him*
Thrax; 8held his son's hand8
Jared: Woah...I was out for tht long?
Ozzie: Yes, baby. Bt u'll be alright now. U got a new heart, tht's all tht matters
Thrax; You'll be home soon
Jared: *smiles* I look forward to it
Thrax; 8ruffled his hair8
Ozzie: *kisses his cheek* Get well soon. U fought so long for this, I'm sure u can fight this
Jared: Totally! I'm not a Jones-Roja for nothing *grins*
Thrax; 8chuckled8
Ozzie: Tht's our boy *chuckles as well*

Jared: Wow, this Mr. Pullox sounds like a reli nice guy
Takashi: Kowai so (such a pity), the lil onna-chan died so young...
Thrax; There was nothing that could be done I'm afraid
Jared: *placed his hand on his heart, feeling as if the girl was still alive, inside of him, living for her*
Thrax; 8smiled gently at him8
Ozzie: *smiles n caresses Jared's head* Now dont go losing this heart now
Jared: I'll make sure I'll wear armour nxt time, or get extra bodyguards
Thrax; I can teach you self defence.
Jared: I'd like tht vry much
Thrax; 8smiled8
Ozzie: *smiled as well* U focus on getting well first, then u can learn those stuff
