When Mako woke up, we all had our moment to hug and kiss her, thanking the Starlight gods she was finally awake and slowly recovering. Elias’ reunion with her was the shortest.
I could feel the multiple emotions going through him as he walked out of her room, frustration written all over his face. I could only imagine how EliaseAnne was feeling. I figured Mako was angry at all of us for keeping the fact that Eli was Elias’ spirit, a secret. I hadn’t even thought to tell her, thinking that Elias would reveal it to her after exams.
Now that she was awake, her sudden change of mood when Elias entered the room, proved us wrong. It didn’t take a person like myself or Daniel, to sense her emotions with our gifts. She was an open book; her face revealed her disappointment and anger.
Even when Mako abruptly decided to go for a walk, her body desperately needed to leave the room. Elias reached out and stopped her; I could see the hurt in her eyes. I knew her well enough at this point to know she wanted space. She’d need time to process everything before listening to their reasons. It was just hard to watch and difficult to ignore the feeling of rejection that slipped through our knight bond.
Myself and Daniel struggled with the multiple emotions lately. My ability or “gift” to feel emotions was the strongest within our bond, versus Daniel’s ability to feel and manipulate one’s emotions at a distance.
With the current situation and our own emotions to deal with, it was a lot of stress to carry and the overstimulation of emotions was getting to us. I was glad that Mako was okay, reducing that particular problem by sixty percent.
“He’s going to have to do it sooner or later. She deserves an apology from both of them. He should get it over with before Mako get—” I wasn’t able to complete my sentence as a wave of worry hit my senses, prompting me to stop in my tracks.
A groan escaped me as I closed my eyes; my heart soared to life as it crashed against my chest.
“Fuck, Ryder you okay?” Marcus questioned; his hands pressed on my shoulders, stabilizing me.
Shit, I need to sit.
As if reading my mind, Marcus tugged me forward, pulling me into the nearest building. Thankfully, this side of the school was quiet throughout the day, giving us an opportunity to be unseen by the multiple students dying to get a glimpse or picture of us.
I managed to make it into the empty class room, the door shut before I leaned against the cold cement wall, trying to catch my breath.
“What the fuck was that? Whoever owns those feelings better dampen them down. Ryder can’t handle it.”Marcus roared through our bond; his anger enough to make me feel even shittier.
“Marcus...not helping,”I complained through our bond, letting out a groan.
I centered my mind, attempted to visualize our bond in our mind. I was in the centre, surrounded by the others. I could imagine their bodies in their designated colours;blue, gold, green, orange.
A line from each of them stretched out to me, connecting me to them.
I noticed the green line flickered, the usual straight-line wobbled as it began to change into a dark purple colour; the combined mixture looked a sickly green.
“Elias? What’s wrong?”I questioned.
Marcus put my arm over his shoulder, assisting me to the desk. I sat in relief, glad that I could be off my feet.
“Can’t talk right—”he began, but trailed off.
I noticed his colour flickered, descending from sickly green to a bright pink.
EliaseAnne...shit, that’s probably not good.
Eli never took over unless she got permission from Elias. The only other reason she would take over is in a protective manner.
“Eli?”Marcus called out, which was greeted by complete silence. I sighed, as their emotions stabilized, giving me a moment of calm.
“I’ll explain later. I need to calm Mako down.”Her usual high, mellow voice was filled with seriousness before she pulled out of the bond.
I had enough energy to open my eyes, lifting them to stare at Marcus who was frowning.
“That doesn’t sound good. You okay? You’re as pale as Mako’s usual complexion,” Marcus pointed out, his arms crossed over his chest.
“I’m fine. Let’s make our way back,” I encouraged, pushing myself off the desk. Before we could head out the room, the door slid open, a pair of orange eyes, framed by black rimmed glasses, locked onto ours.
“I knew I saw you two,” Matthew acknowledged, closing the door behind him before walking towards us.
He took one glance at me and frowned.
