GIFTED

Kim looked on as Sama took in slow deep breaths, life was slowly beginning to come back as her cheeks regained that light chocolate colour, the sun outside will be rising soon. Blood drained from Kim's body to the vacuum IV bag hanging in between their two beds into the little girl’s body. She stared at Sama endlessly as the little girl continued her sleep, the more she stared at Sama, the more she was reminded of the day she mysteriously appeared in their apartment. Kim and Henry were having an argument about how to do their next work when a girl of about four years appeared on their couch, fists tightly clenched and eyes closed that her eyes almost hurt. She informed the two that she could help them, when their faces looked like they were at sea, she elaborated that she could help them on the heist they planned to do that night, laid out the route plan for them and gave them the code to the security system. On recovering from their shock and luck, they asked the little girl on how she was able to know all that. Her reply was that it was because she was gifted. she also let them that she was willing to be their ally on condition that she never had to go back to where she came back from. Henry at first had his doubts and Kim was abit scared but they were running out of options and time wasn't their best ally at that moment.

Three hours later the trio were back in their apartment, though drenched in rain, their hearts and consciousness was contented as the diamond necklace and the priceless Zodiac painting lay on the table in their possession. Kim and Henry could not contain their excitement and were jubilating over a bottle of wine and Pizza. Sama picked up a piece and raised her hand like the obedient school child that she was. The couple caught her attention and then looked at each other.

"What is the problem sweetie?" Kim asked the little girl concerned.

"Can I get a 40% share if I heal your leukemia? That was the purpose of this heist and besides you were going to spend almost 70%" she says and takes a big bite of her pizza. She uses that chance to allow the bomb shell she had dropped on them digest,the room instantly grew silent that you could hear a feather fall. Henry's glass dropping on the white carpet broke that silence, coloring the area maroon where all the contents poured. This girl was too much! How did she have so much knowledge on them or even their skeletons in the closet? Henry was the first to recover and asked Sama how she was going to do that to which she asked them to only trust the process and get all the equipment she would need.

"I need to enroll to a school around here which will be costly." she informed the two faces staring at her as though she had swallowed a sword. Two days later, Henry returned with all the kits, IV tubes and sterilizing liquids that the little girl had noted for him. Kim set up the two twin beds in the room they had made for her. Together they set up the IV system and Sama gave Henry clear instructions that they had to follow.

Kim laid on the bed facing downwards, her heart beating so fast, scared that the process will badly hurt. She squeezed Henry's right hand so tight and told him that if she failed to make it out of this, that she loved him so much. Henry nodded sadly then anxiously watched and waited for the miracle or mess this little creature would pull off. Sama stretched her small hands and laid them down on her back, she started massaging her hips, golden lights and lines enaminated from the tiny hands onto the hip she was massaging. As she did this, she kept humming a soft comforting song. In the process, she was transferring healthy cells onto Kim's spongy bones as the bone marrow manufactured these new healthy cells, they travelled to the different areas and the golden lines were seen running through Kim's blood vessels to the hands, legs and all the other body parts. When Sama had drained herself and sure that Kim would be fine, her legs gave away and she fell in Henry's huge arms who laid the little girl on the other bed. He connected one tube of the already set up IV system into the girl's arm, covered the unconscious Kim. He sat on the chair and put the other IV tube that would be transferring blood from him to the unconscious child, as he did this he was shaking lightly hoping that this would work or else he was doomed with two dead bodies in their apartment. He sat and watched from the left bed to the right bed.

Sama had explained to Henry that she was blood group C, a blood type that was compatible with the other blood groups without causing any agglutination. It could change into any desired blood group inside the host's body or turn any blood into her type once inside her body. She had also informed him that three hours later, Kim would be awake and that at that he was supposed to stop the blood transfusion too. They were both to feel dizzy from blood loss and gained so they were to take the beetroot juice they had prepared in advance. Five hours later she was also to wake up.

Kim remembered that day with tears in her eyes as that was her last day to experience blood cancer, secretly this girl has always been her hero and it pained her when she had to teleport them home. Two people were still too much for this young girl to carry and as soon as they always land, Sama would always pass out.

They had never failed on a mission since Sama appeared in their lives till tonight and Henry was so furious that he kept on kicking things in the next room.
