“Fuck, I don’t know what happened when she was in a coma, but it had a big effect on her emotionally. She blames herself for the scar on my chest and doesn’t want to forgive herself for putting us all in danger. She got mad that I didn’t tell her about Eli, that none of us told her. We basically didn’t trust her, and that simple thought hurt her. She got angry and her magic reacted to her immense desire to shield herself. She summoned a wind funnel, hiding within it to protect herself from everything. Eli shifted to her fairy form to calm her down and apologized. She accepted it and fainted, out of exhaustion.”
I braced myself for the wave of emotions that would hit me, but Marcus moved forward, walking straight to Elias. He placed his hand on his shoulder, causing Elias to lift his head from his hands, meeting his gaze.
“We just finished talking with Matthew. You can explain in detail what happened in a moment, but we’re going to need your help,” Marcus announced, catching the other two shifter’s attention.
Elias sat quietly, waiting for Marcus to continue.
“Mako’s faint spells – they aren’t simply because of her body attempting to recover from surpassing her magic limit,” he proposed.
Kai and Daniel both turned to glance his way, confusion morphed onto their faces. I made my way to the black bookshelf, allowing my body to lean against it for support, exhaustion pulled at my consciousness.
Just a few more minutes and I’ll be able to rest.
I felt the tension grow as the silence continued.
“You leaning here doesn’t make them feel any better. Just so you know,”Stryker mused before taking his leave.
I didn’t bother replying to him. I merely needed something to support my heavy limbs while we went through this conversation. I wasn’t upset at any of them, especially Elias. I could guarantee he probably felt opposite, but the darker side of me didn’t care.
“If it’s not that, why does she keep switching in and out?” Daniel questioned.
Marcus turned himself to face all of us. I crossed my arms to rest on my chest and gave a stern look as my eyes narrowed, power oozed out of them by accident. The revelation we just learned was enough to make me want to rage out in Mako’s and Midnight’s defense.
Hadn’t they suffered enough?
“Midnight isn’t a split personality: she’s a spirit,” Marcus announced; his words lingered in the air as we stood there in silence.
Fuck it, I can’t deal with this right now.
Of course, I was intrigued to find out that Midnight was a spirit, but that only escalated my worries – the possibility of Makoto’s mental health suffering tremendously as literature predicted. I also worried as to whether Midnight was a gift from the gods or a creation of Aspen’s in an act of revenge.
I pushed myself off the bookshelf, making my way to Mako. I took a moment to stare at her peaceful expression, her paler complexion worrying me. Sleep would do her good.
Would do us good, too.
“I need a nap and can’t stand any more emotions for today. I’m gonna go crash. You can go wild once I fall asleep,” I grumbled, starting my stride again before I stopped.
“Oh, and I’m taking Mako,” I stated.
I waited for them to voice out their dissatisfaction with my actions, but was greeted with complete silence.
I had her in my arms in one smooth swoop, before I made my way to my room.
Once I walked into my paradise, I used my foot to close the door behind me, using a bit too much force, resulting in a loud BAM.
Oops
Nightmare was relaxed on the bed; her tails waved back and forth. Her little head lifted up; her mismatch eyes stared at us.
I nodded to her, not having enough energy or patience to smile.
I just wanted to close my eyes and allow sleep to whisk me away from this burden. I sometimes questioned why the Starlight gods thought feeling other people’s emotions was a good thing? How was that possibly beneficial?
The only thing it seemed to do was drive the user insane.
I’d lost count of how many times I’d broken down from the overload of emotions I experienced from the others, before my own chaotic mess of feelings within me.
I approached the bed, Nightmare jumped up and picked up the e-reader in her mouth, before jumping off the bed.
