She soon saw the young woman approaching her, the image occasionally distorted by static, as her body was demanding an end, a collapse to the earth.  The mind though wanted something different, the weak damaged arm lifted, fingers shaking as quick silver ran across them.   Her mouth struggled to form the woman’s name, but, the voice that made its way fourth from those full lips, was only punctuated by a gurgling forth of her life essence.  She felt the woman’s body close to hers before her remaining eye presented her with a weak static filled image.<br/><br/>A hint of the terror dissipates as she felt herself pressed against Corrine’s chest, delicate arms holding her close, as the empty socket drenched Corrine in cold metal chill.  The machine did her best to drag her weakened body closer,  a loud metallic scraping sound was heard as her legs moved over blasted earth.  Two weak arms slung themselves across the psychic vampire, as Elohim tried futilely to pull herself up to meet her companions gaze.<br/><br/>She heard Corrine’s words as if they were spoken from some far away mouth, as she struggled to keep herself conscious.  A weak trembling hand, covered in her fleeing life essence lifted and slowly drew a line down the woman’s other cheek, the one she had left untouched, the ray was slightly squiggled, the sureness to complete even such a simple task was lost to this wreck of a body.<br/><br/>The silence was closing in...  If it had to come, at least it could come in these arms,   these soft warm arms, their bearer, the one who awakened a hint of a self she didn’t even realize she had.  Once more, she slowly tried to push herself upward, she could feel her systems arguing against such an action, but,   she pulled herself up,  her face level with Corrine’s.  The empty leaking socket, and the beautiful blue eye met Corrine’s gaze, and she leaned forward weakly kissing the woman’s lips, leaving a metallic stain upon them  before collapsing again, and resting her head on the woman’s breasts.<br/><br/><em>I hope, she lives...  </em>She thought to herself.  Her delicate digits gave Corrine’s shoulder a squeeze,  it was weak, exceedingly gentle...  This would be the end...  She took solace knowing that she could have her memories of the day restored.<br/><br/>Her body was about to give out, when she felt the tingle of a gate move across her skin absorbing the two of them.  For a moment, they both resided within the bleak state of limbo...  Until, she found them on the floor of the labs.  She, may just survive yet...  She felt herself lowered gently onto the ground, her golden hair matted by the shimmering fluid her body was bleeding, a fluid that was beginning to run very low.<br/><br/>The single blue orb followed the woman, seeing a dim outline of her and the black coated demon amidst a sea of dancing static.  She heard the words, her lips twitched trying weakly to form a smile.  When the woman returned, she lifted a trembling hand, and clumsily wrapped her fingers around the woman’s own, giving them a gentle squeeze.  If, she could have spoke...  She would have responded with something she had seen on the vid-screen while her developers were on break.<br/><br/><em>I am not going anywhere,</em>the phrase was apt... or at least she yearned for it to be so.<br/><br/>When Corrine roused, she would find Elohim’s still looking up at her, with that single big blue orb,   various hoses and tubes fed intothe woman's body, restoring the silvery substance to her form.  The shattered pieces of armour were being repaired by alchemical ritual, while, a strange orb rested above the mechanical maiden, tendrils seeming to phase directly through flesh, as it went about repairing and recreating the damaged bits of hardware within.<br/><br/>The look of her face was on of extreme pain...<br/><br/>She could faintly hear one of the tec’s say.  “Just in time too, This body will survive...”
