“Jesseca, I’m sorry, but there is no happy ending in this for you. As with many heroes, the triumph over evil will come at a price. For you, winning the fight against Hannah means losing her forever. This is why you are so vital to this fight, your choice to sacrifice your own happiness and give Hannah up again will give you the power to be the only one that can triumph over this evil. However if you falter in your choice, then the city as you see it now will become reality.” Azuria said.
“Why me?” Jesseca asked as she looked up through puffy red eyes at Azuria.
“Unfortunately, I can’t tell you. But rest assured, you’re destined for great things. This is a hurdle in your path to becoming one of the greatest heroes in Paragon’s history. But that’s a story for another time, for now you must wake up my dear.” Azuria said.
Jesseca began to feel dizzy, and collapsed suddenly as she blacked out.
Jesseca’s eyes opened slowly, the room was dark, she could hear hospital monitors beeping next to her. Sitting up slowly her eyes adjusted to the darkness and she saw that she was in a hospital room of some sort. Jesseca began to feel nervous and frightened as she looked around the foreign room for signs that she was not alone.
Sue saw Jesseca sitting up in bed on one of the monitors in the meeting room and ran to Jesseca’s room. “Thank goodness you’re ok!” Sue said with a smile as she entered the room and turned the light on and went to the bedside, wrapping her arms around Jesseca as she hugged the girl tightly.
Jesseca began to cry, causing Sue to pull away from her. “What’s wrong?” Sue asked.
Jesseca looked at Sue for a moment blankly, “Whewe’s my mommy?” she asked with a toddler like speech before putting her thumb in her mouth to calm herself.
Sue looked at Jessica worriedly before she hit the call button by the bed. “Knight, Severe, come to the infirmary now, something is wrong with Jesseca.” she shouted into the panel while she looked at Jesseca innocently sucking her thumb.
