Am I alive? I'm...alive?!
"How?!!! No, no, NO!"
I fought to lift my heavy head, looking before me to see the man who termed himself as Old Darkness glaring daggers at me, his face half burnt and his hands trembling with rage. His scythe reappeared in his hands, and he ran forward.
"I WILL GET MY REVENGE!" he screamed.
My eyes widened, and I knew there was no way I could move in time for his attack. I squeezed my eyes shut, calling the only person I knew could get through the dark walls.
"ODION!”
A loud clashing sound rang around us, and my eyes snapped open to see the familiar 6'2 figure standing before me, his black hair flowing wildly at the gushing wind that tore through him and Old Darkness.
"YOU!" The man glared.
"Sorry, old man. She's mine," Odion replied and with ease, pushed the man back. The move sent him flying into the dark wall of flames.
Odion twirled his scythe in his hand, spinning it faster and faster until a black gust of wind formed by the spinning action. It wrapped around us like a barrier, and Odion didn't stop until we were completely covered.
He took a deep breath and lowered his scythe, looking over his shoulder to meet my weak gaze.
"You came..." I whispered, tears rolling down my cheeks as I began to sob.
His once calm expression turned into a remorseful one as he walked over to me. He knelt on one knee and reached out to wipe a tear from my cheek.
"I told you to call me if my brother couldn't help," he mumbled, but I could hear a hint of relief in the tone of his voice."You healed."
"You were watching?!" I exclaimed.
He glanced away but nodded. "I can't help you unless I'm summoned. The only way I could be a little bit of assistance was leaving the mark on you," he confessed.
"You...you bonded with me?"
"Yes."
"But...but...Odion! Yo- you know what that means!"
"I'm aware," he replied calmly.
"Why....why?" I asked over and over again, beginning to sob as I stared at him with weepy eyes. He gave me a small smile.
"I'll explain soon, but I couldn't let the woman my brother loves die...not again," he whispered, looking back at me.
Not again?
"And maybe...you're not so bad. Pretty likable after some coffee," he said with an appreciative smile.
A loud sound hit the barrier, leaving a crack. Odion frowned and looked back at me.
"Celestia. If you want to live or even see your lovers, familiar, and family again. We have to go."
"Go where? Teleport somewhere?" I asked.
Another crack formed, followed by another. Odion rose and moved to crouch before me. He rolled me over and scooped me up in seconds, pressing me tightly to his body.
I stared up at him with wide eyes, desperate to know if I'd be able to come back here.
Won't he kill everyone? Mom, Dads, my lovers, Arielle and the other familiars. This whole dimension. Everyone and everything that's dear to me.
