|| The Death of a Bachelor || Panic! At the Disco ||
Echo's head was on Doll's lap. Melody was sitting on the end of the bed while Flame was being patched up in the next room by a nurse. Thankfully his injuries were minor. Minerva had taken the brunt of the wounds, but the demons would not stop. They would continue to press the attack, even with Minerva down. "Do you think Kitra herself will show up to the next battle?" Melody asked worriedly as Doll played with Echo's hair. "I'm more worried about Messiah," Doll admitted as Echo let out a tired cough. She felt disoriented and strange, the sedation making her head and thoughts swim. "He has powers that... make me sick," Doll's grip on Echo tightened and her little sister mewled helplessly. Melody looked pointedly at her sister, who breathed and released Echo from her grasp.
The door opened, Ariel coming in with Lana behind her, both looking hesitant and sad. "It's okay," Melody tried to smile reassuringly. "Echo remembers you," Echo made a strange sound, almost like a gurgle in the back of her throat. "She can't talk right now because she's getting silly medicine." Echo smiled a lazy smile in response, unable to string together words and form sentences. "Ahhrrfff," Echo slurred unintelligibly. Elliot watched from the doorway, his eyes widening. "A mermaid?" The cogs in his mind began to turn, "Do you think you have any tears in you?" He asked softly, kneeling to Ariel's height. The blue haired mermaid nodded slowly, "Y-yes." Almost as though on command, she began to cry. Elliot scrambled for a phial, collecting as many tears as he could and capping it.
"What are you gonna do with them?" Melody asked as Echo stirred, attempting to sit up. Elliot rose as Lana dabbed at Ariel's face. "I have two comatose patients that could use some of these," if his theory was right, the mermaid tears could help wake them up. "Frooo," Echo attempted to sit up, but Doll gently pushed her back down. "It's okay, just rest shhh," Flame strode into the room, bandaged, but looking no worse for wear. "Chris called for reinforcements, but no one's coming." It would be up to them to hold down the fortress. "What do the demons want? Why do they keep attacking?" Ariel asked, frightened. "Isn't it obvious?" Mason asked, standing in the doorway. Elliot left to distill the mermaid tears, this was not a discussion he needed to be part of.
"You have two Baroness's contained here and who knows how strong the other demons are?" Elliot could tell them, he was the one that knew everything about each of the patients. "And they have a demon that can put broken people back together," Messiah, of course, but his ability could only do so much. "I'm not going to let them get a hold of any of them," Doll would possess every demon if she had to. She would keep them away from her sisters and husband.
