23 May 2003 - Personal Hell.

Elijah and Nico

Elijah Yoder was in Hell, or at least he thought he was. A Healer had come, and had managed to heal his broken bones, but nobody could heal mind. Having to witness the death of your twin was bad enough. Even worse with the telepathic and empathic links they had. But he was unable to make any sense of it, nor was he able to control his powers, because Glory had eaten his mind. She's sucked out the cohesive glue that held his mind together, made it whole. ALl he knew was pain.

"Can't turn it off, Nico," he whimpered. "Can breathe, it's too dark. NO!!!!" he screamed at his demons that nobody could slay for him. Jean had let him leave the infirmary, and, now that the beds had been replaced, Nico had moved in with him to take care of him. Dawn had tried to heal him, but when she got close, she was put back into tears herself, as she listened to him wail about how there was nothing in her, no data. She thought she had gotten over it, but she was wrong

"Woods, please," he said, pulling on his brother's sleeve. There were woods behind the school, and Elijah loved to go there, it made him feel safe, and happy, and reminded him of the woods back home. Nico lifted him eyes up to Heaven.

God, what am I going to do? Why can't you heal his mind? he prayed silently. The only one who could help him was Willow, but that would require being near Glory.
