I lifted my hands up just as Lark's brother readied his final attack.
"BLIND!" I commanded, using as much mana as needed to speed up the process.
He cried out, clutching at his eyes, the distraction canceling out his spell and he began screaming.
He opened his eyes and they were now pure white, the color in them gone as he clawed at them, making his skin begin to bleed.
"No. NO! I can't see. How dare you?! NO!" he screamed, shaking his head left and right as he gripped his head, covering his eyes.
I sighed in relief, my arms falling to my sides as I fought to stay upright.
"Jewel. I'm so sorry, are you okay?" Zane's tear-filled eyes met mine and I smiled weakly.
"I think I'm about to have a seizure," I confessed. "But I'm good," I whispered.
Zane struggled to move his leg and his expression flooded with concern.
"Lay down. Nick called for help. Ms. Landsford and the others will be here any moment."
I looked to Nick who'd knocked out the other kid and now got up, his eyes meeting mine.
"They'll be here soon, but you really should lay down," he instructed.
I smirked and my eyes went back to Lark's brother whose hands were still on his bleeding face.
Was it weird that I felt pity for him? Maybe he was bullied and isolated because of his older brother's actions but two wrongs didn't make a right.
"HOOT!" I glanced over my shoulder and noticed Koa and Alice in the distance.
I looked over at the school gate and saw Ms. Landsford, her assistant, Logan's mother and even my mother running towards the tower.
I sighed in relief; my shoulders sank and the weird feeling did another slow transition down my body .
The cold prickling and goosebumps that roamed my flesh alerted me I would experience a seizure at any time.
Guess I should lay down.
"NO!" Nick's voice suddenly cried out and I turned my head to see him running towards me.
I looked back in time to see Lark's brother’s wand directed at me.
All it took was a mere second, my body being pushed back so hard it felt like my back broke when I slammed into the ancient brick which crumbled under the impact.
"JEWEL!" I heard Zane scream but the sound already began to fade as I started to fall.
Everything slowed and as my eyes lowered to watch window after window of the tower pass by and my eyes locked on a pair of silver ones.
The same sinister eyes that had watched me from the window looked down at me.
What frightened me the most was the sinister smile that crossed his dry lips, showing hints of his yellow teeth.
He leaned forward, as if enjoying the satisfaction of my impending death before he pulled back, disappearing from sight, but my ears were able to catch a sickening laugh.
My consciousness wavered and I looked back up, noticing someone was flying towards me. It must have been at a faster pace than what I was going at, but everything still felt like it was in slow motion.
My eyes began to close as tears left them.
I felt the trickle of blood from my nose but the image that formed before me made me relax:Gabriel's face looking down at me.
