"Just...play nice, Grant." [i]Pan feints.[/i]
-
[b]I sigh as I pick her up, carrying her off.[/b]
-
[i]You can see Pan's eyes open and close every once and a while.[/i]
-
[b]I carry her over to my room, and set her in the extra cot I have, until she wakes up.[/b]
-
[i]A very tired Pan opens her eyes and looks around. Her voice sounds exauhsted.[/i] "Where am I?"
-
"You're in my room, kiddo. Are you okay? You glad me worried."
-
[i]Pan's voice returns to its child like state that Grant knows best.[/i] "Yes, father. I believe I'm okay, but for some reason *yawn* I'm extremely tired."
-
"You're tired because the real you came out for a second. The one that was before all what you are now. They only told me one thing. To make you stop using your powers. And something else, forget all I said about JT earlier. I was just really angry."
-
[i]Pan seems confused.[/i] "This is the real me, father! What're you talkin' about? Don't use my powers?! Ha!"
-
"No, who you were, before all that Chaos nonsense came out. They said to tell you to stop using your powers."
-
[i]Pan's eye emitted a red mist as her right arm started to be surrounded by a red aura.[/i] "There's nothing wrong with my powers, father."
-
"She said they were killing you."
-
"No, they're f-" [i]Her arm catches on fire and immediatley stops. Burns are left on her arm. Pan starts to cry from the pain.[/i]
-
"Jesus Christ!" [b]I run over, pulling some healing powder from my coat. I rub it into the wound.[/b] "See what I mean?!"
-
[i]Pan protects her burnt right arm with her left.[/i] "Ow! It's fine! That had nothing to do with my powers!"
-
"Then what was it?"
-
[i]Pan gets frustrated.[/i] "Well!....umm.....I don't know, but I'm not gonna stop!"
-
"You gotta! It's gonna kill you!"
-
"I can't stop! What are you going to do to stop me, huh?!"
-
"If I can't stop you... I'll find someone else to. I'm not having another daughter die on me."
-
[i]Pan groans in pain as she gets off the bed.[/i] "Good luck with that! I'm going to go use as much power as I can!"
-
"Pan... Don't. I can't stop you, but that'll kill you, and..." [b]I clench my fist. A tear runs down my cheek.[/b] "And DAMMIT I don't want to lose another daughter!"
-
[i]Pan doesn't answer until she walks out the door. Her voice is just loud enough to hear.[/i] "Now you've lost two...."
-
[b]I walk out after her.[/b] "What do you mean?"
-
[i]Pan walks in silence. Tears that fall from her face and onto the ground leave a burn mark on the floor.[/i]
