Lily's Touch

Lily is standing next to Jennifer. Her smile grows wider as her hand is slowly approaching Jennifer's heart.

"NO !!"

I run in panic to enter the room only to be blocked by the germ protection system.

"NO !! NOOO !! Lily, DON'T YOU DARE !!! DON'T YOU DARE !!!" I scream and shout madly while my fist keep punching the invisible wall, trying my hardest to break it so I can come in.

I can see Lily hears my shout as she turns her head slightly to me and glance at me with a smirk.

""LILY !! DON'T YOU DARE !! I WILL KILL YOU !! I WILL KILL YOU !!" I keep shouting my threats which she believes they are only empty threats as she doesn't stop what she is doing.

"NOO !! NOOO !! NOOOO !!!" I shout, this time desperately, as I see her finger is less than an inch from Jennifer's body. My hand doesn't stop banging the invisible wall, hoping that somehow it just lets me in.

Suddenly, a man with white gown runs toward Lily and grabs her left hand to keep it away from Jennifer. The man's grab is powerful and a sudden that is able to pull Lily down. The man is down on the floor with Lily on top of him.

Lily quickly stands up and about to approach Jennifer again. But a mili second later, Bruno appears beside her, embraces her, and takes her out from the room.

I quickly run out of the Health facility. Even though I couldn't see where they went, but I have the best guess where Bruno took her. The North Wing, their basecamp. So, I drive my car as fast as I can to go there.

Once I get to the North Wing, I jump out of my car and run toward its front door. I just slam my body onto the door as I know it will need authentication to be opened. The alarm is immediately on.

"Death !!" Both Sara and Fred exclaim in surprise to know it is me who is breaking into their basecamp.

I totally ignore them. My ear just heard Bruno's voice shouting angrily, "You just don't know how to stop, don't you ?!!"

I run to approach his voice.

"Death, don't !!" Sara is trying to prevent me, but I push her to fall on the floor.

"I don't need to do it over and over if you didn't stop me !!" Lily shouts back at Bruno.

"Are you out of your mind ?! I stop you to safe you !!"

"You don't need to safe..."

My entrance into the room halts their argument.

"Death.." Both Lily and Bruno murmurs in surprise.

A split second later I already press Lily against the wall and choke her neck.

"NO !!!" Bruno shouts and runs toward me at once. He tries to pull my hand from Lily's neck. Of course, Bruno's power is no match with mine. Instead, I just push him on his chest to make him fly away a few meters and hits a wall across the room.

"Q... Qu... Qui.." Lily is even having a hard time to call me. I respond only with tightens my choke unto her neck. Lily struggles by jolting her body, trying to get away from me. But I know it is a vain. Only a second more, she will be out of breath.

But then I feel a slight touch on my hand and my heart instantly feels like exploded. I still choke Lily as hard as I was, but now she is just staring at me blankly before I heard a loud thump right behind me in synchronous with the scream of Sara, Fred, and Bruno, "Death !!!"

I look back only to see my self, my body, already lies on the floor with bulges eyes. "What ??" I hisses, still don't understand how can I see my own body.

"Quint!!" Lily screams and immediately approach my body. "I'm sorry... I'm sorry.. I didn't mean to..."

"Bring him to live, Viper!! NOW !!" Sara shouts at her with full of anger.

Lily nods several times. With tears all over her face, she places her right palm onto my body's left chest.

The next second, I open my eyes slowly and found my self being embraced by Sara. "Death !! Thank God !! Thank God !!" she exclaims in relieve to see me opens my eyes.

My brain is still trying to digest what had just happened so I feel like I can not move my body. I even don't immediately react when Lily throws her body unto me and whispers in between her cry, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I didn't mean to... I didn't mean to..."

"You..." Few seconds later, I finally can order my brain to move my body and the first thing I do is to grab her neck again.

This time, however, Lily doesn't struggle. She just closes her still teary eyes and surrender onto whatever I'm about to do with her.

"Death!! Don't !!" It is Sara, Fred, and Bruno who shout to forbid me.

Bruno and Fred quickly grab and pull Lily away to free her from me. Maybe because I still haven't got my full strength back, or maybe because I was stunned by Lily's reaction, I just let them do it.

"Please, Don't.. " Bruno hisses to plead my mercy.

"She won't stop trying to harm my wife," I hisses back. With so much struggle, I stand my self up, "You know that."

"I will prevent her. I promise.."

"You have failed ! You promised me to keep her away from me and my wife, and you failed !! You failed miserably!" I hiss again, slowly approaching them.

"In what part that you don't understand about me being married to Jennifer," I hisses again, this time to Lily, "Or me being never loved you ?"

Lily just cries more to hear my words.

"Do you think I will be willingly to even let you live, even less love you, when you harmed her ?"

I now stand in front of Lily. Before I stretch my hand to choke her again, Bruno suddenly on his knees and grabbing my legs. "Please, Death !! Have mercy. Please... I beg you."

I glance at Bruno before stare back at Lily. "At what cause that will make you stop, Lily ?" I instead choke Bruno's neck, "His death ??"

"No !!" Sara and Fred shout while Lily just stands still and cries.

I chuckle and drop my glare at Bruno again. "You see, man... She doesn't even care if I killed you. and still, you blindly love her."

"Please, have mercy, Death..." Bruno keeps pleading, ignoring my words toward him.

"And what ?? How can you assure that she will stop harming my wife ? My family ? She doesn't even care about your death ! Who can assure me that she won't harm my family again ?"

"I will.." suddenly Mrs. Rauss' voice comes from the doorway. I glance at the woman while she walks approaching us. "I will make sure she won't harm your family ever again," she continues her promise.

"Just go to see your wife at the Health Facility. I will take care of her," Mrs. Rauss says in calming tone. Her words make me eager to see Jennifer.

I glare back to Lily. "If you ever... tried to harm my family again..."

"I will eliminate her... with my own hand," Mrs. Rauss finishes my words with so much assurance that makes me nod to agree with her.
