Iopened my eyes, needing to see how bad the situation was as we materialized, feeling the solid ground beneath me.
The dizziness was hard to ignore, my world spun from the sudden shift – Kai transported us from Matthew’s office straight to the exam area. Kai’s hand rested on our shoulders before the world began to dematerialize – everything became like pixels falling around us as the environment morphed.
The process was hella rougher than his usual teleportation’s; holding the same effects as when we walked through the portal, but ten times worse, making me feel sick to my stomach. If it wasn’t for my nerves, I probably would have thrown up. Now that we’d arrived, I had to fight the bile that rose in my throat as my eyes landed on the body of the woman I loved, a pool of dark red liquid beneath her. Blood.
Azriel’s and EliaseAnne’s spike in stress leaked into our bond as they called for help.
“KAI. Makoto isn’t breathing. Tell Winterlya and Karen they need to prepare to treat Nephilim poisoning. I need you here ASAP. If I restart her heart she needs medical attention. Eli’s slowing down the progression of the poison.”
“Where are you?” Ryder demanded, being the first to recover from the wave of panic that hit us as we opened up our bond.
“Mountain side of the exam. Eli, remove your hands, I need to shock her.”
Shock her?
The words alone sent chills down my spine as my left hand began to tremble uncontrollably. I knew I had to control myself or I’d shift, but the idea of Daniel shocking our Firefly – such words emphasized the reality of the situation and that Makoto wasn’t breathing. She wasn’t alive.
Stryker had taken over, Ryder struggled to keep awake from the imbalance of emotions as he closed his eyes; glowing orbs of black took over as he opened them. I knew he wouldn’t dare pass out when Makoto was in danger, but he wouldn’t be able to stay awake much longer with us struggling to keep our emotions from tearing him apart.
“KAI! Now!”
I heard Eli scream through our bond, her high, shrilled voice scared me. I hadn’t been so afraid since my time at the facility – afraid of death every time I felthispresence as my body jolted from the electricity going through me – I was shocked over and over again.
I glanced at Kai as Ryuu nudged into my mind, ready to take control if I needed him to. If we didn’t want to shift, we’d alternate until we could find somewhere safe to shift into our dragon form.
Kai’s eyes flickered back and forth as he struggled with control. Kai was the calmest among us, sometimes calmer than Daniel, but one could never underestimate a phoenix’s temper – their flames erupted from the depth of the earth to consume the culprit of such rage.
He didn’t look mad – he looked fearless and ready to destroy anyone who tried to stop him from his goal.
Now, Kai lunged forward as he knelt by Daniel’s side; he looked completely different. His hair was now long, ashy white blonde, floating gently in the air as if the wind kept the strands captive. His angel wings were outstretched, so white and pure I bet, simply with a touch, a feather could cleanse anyone of their sins.
The power that flowed off of him was a rare sight to see and feel; the most power I had seen Daniel display in cycles.
“Winterlya, Karen and the rest of the medical team are ready. The Queen has been notified as well and will assist in the treatment. Are you two ready? I won’t be able to make it as smooth a trip as usual,” Kai explained.
He must have used the emergency spell while we were teleported to speak to Winterlya telepathically – explaining the new development.
I bet he was the most shocked out of all of us. He’d used his foresight only fifteen minutes ago and had seen nothing. Something must have changed – someone interfered suddenly.But who?
My eyes trailed his body, exhaustion evident. I frowned, taking another glance at Makoto whose heart was already beginning to lose momentum.
“Kai, you’re pushing it,” Azriel warned, his singsong voice low and threatening.
We all knew how stubborn Kai could be. He would never admit he needed rest or help unless you threatened him. He gave Azriel a frustrated look, but sighed.
“Hinotori,” he commanded, his eyes closing before opening again, those amber eyes glowing with immense power.
“It’s been awhile Azriel, Elyion. Shall we? The Princess is already showing signs of decline. Let us not delay,” he announced. His accent was thick, indication that he was furious.
All three of them turned their gazes to us, Ryuu taking the opportunity to take control, allowing me to watch.
“Keep us posted on the Princess’ condition. We won’t take long,” Ryuu requested.
We had no choice but to hang back. There was no way Kai would be able to teleport us to Heila after doing three trips – one with Winterlya and Karen, another to return back and now taking EliaseAnne, Daniel, and Makoto.
Anymore would put his life at risk and we couldn’t have that.
“I’ll clean everything down here. Just focus on stabilizing her. We believe in you three,” Stryker acknowledged.
