“Go ahead,” I mutter, “It can’t hurt.” As Klaus reads to her. I watch for any signs that she could hear him, but there is little more than a finger twitch here and there. But it did seem to be bringing her peace. Her mnd wasn’t so hectic.
Footsteps echo in the hallway as feet crunning towards us. Klaus and I quickly move to the end of Neah’s bed, blocking her from view just as Devon crashes in through the door.
“Is she okay? Please tellshe is okay!” I take a step to the side so that he could see her.
“Who the fuck did this? Was it that fucking blonde bitch?” “Yes.” Klaus answers when I find myself unable to answer. Devon’s reactins are strong, similar to how I would protect my sister “LT will kill her!” “You are a little behind. Dane already had her killed.” Klaus tells him He moves aroundto get closer to Neah, taking her hand in his. “Why won’t she wake up? “We don’t know.” Klaus mutters while watching me. “She has had an antidote, all her vitals are good. I think that after years of abuse, her brain has shut down, just temporarily, to recover.
“Where’s Eric?” I mutter, “He went to check on his boys. Today, made him realise alot of things.” My eyes narrow, “Why didn’t he answerwhen I linked him?” “We ran into a spot of trouble.” “In the city? “It looks like you were right. He is creating more Lycans. They were waiting for us.
As the light catches his skin. I notice old stains of blood that hadn’t been wiped away properly. No one from my businesses had informedthat they were having problems.
“Where too in the city?” “Eric called it the Southbank, you know, down by the river that passes through. We were attacked, we killed as many as we could. There was no sign of Trey or Cassandra anywhere.” “You couldn’t sense them?” Klaus asks “Yes and No.
“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?” “It means that Trey is doing ne biting, connecting more to him. I means thatte knows what he is doing. Hexs: smaking it difficult for “>to sitgle him out in a place that is packed. I never thought of the idiots smart, which makethirik this is Cassandra’s idea too.” Hé bends down close toNeah. “Wake up, you are Safe. You are protected. You are loved.” Still, there is nothing. If it wasn’t for her heartbeat, she would be presumed dead.
When Klaus leaves, Devon takes the empty seat opposite me. He holds her left hand as I hold her right. =~ Unlike the others, he doesn’t tellto leave or to get srest. He Sits in silefice, which is unlike hina: ‘He wasreally playing the doting brother but Aero still didn’t trust Kim.
A few hours after the sun has cup, Raven returns, checking all Neah’s vitals again. “I don’t understand.” She murmurs “What’s wrong?” Devon demands. “That’s just it. There is nothing wrong. She should be awake.
“Are you sure you haven’t missed anything?” She frownsat him and turns a MN monitor around, pointing to the different lines. “Heartbeat, good, oxygen levels, brilliant, bloods pressure, perfect.” – Raven leans over Neah, shining a torch light into her eyes, “Pupils, reactive.” “Raven? “There’s nothing more I can do Dane. She just needs time.” “That wasn’t what I was going to ask. Who was the Witch you saw?’
“For the antidote? The one that you get information from. MadGurie.” m “MadCurie?”
“Yep, she was very helpful.” Raven smiles, “Toldthat it wouldn’t be an easy antidote to make, but that it was possible.”
“MadCurie is the one who got Neah in this mess in the first place. She was the one that bound herm originally Why would she help?” “I never said it was for Neah. I asked her if there was a way. I told her it was for the well being of the pack and she agreed.” “She agreed?” “Yes. As simple as that.”
Neah I could hear them. Their voices sliced through the thick fog in my brain. Raven and Alpha Dane are arguing about the Witch who bound me. I could hear Raven defending the Witch, not for what had happened in the past but for what she had done now.
“She knew exactly who I was, Dane!” She snaps “She knows you are my brother. I don’t think she needed a degree to figure out why I was asking for it.” “Guys, guys.” Devon calls out.
“I still can’t believe you went to her.” Alpha Dane snaps “If I hadn’t, Neah would be dead!” Raven snaps back Death. Maybe that was why I was here. Maybe death was what I was made for.
“Will you guys shut up!” Devon snaps. “Take it outside, she doesn’t need to hear this.” ‘I’m sorry, Dane. I did what I thought was the best thing for this pack. I did this to protect us. Why can’t you see it?” Raven stops shouting. “I did this for Black Shadow.
“How much?” “It was nothing.” “She always has a price. How much?” “I will pay you back.
“Raven!” I don’t hear what she says and I prefer it that way. But from the collective gasps, I assit was a lot more than what anyone would pay. “I have it now. She gavea list of ingredients and the directions to make it myself.
There’s silence and I feel myself slipping away into my own fog. Wrapping itself aroundlike a blanket as it cocoons me. “She moved!” Devon’s voice dragsback out of the fog.
“She’s been twitching since yesterday.” Alpha Dane mutters “No, she moved. Her hand opened and closed.” Alpha Dane grabs my hand, short little spikes of electricity fly up my arm. jolting my heart.
“Did you see that?” Raven asks. “There was a spike in her heart rate.” “Neah? Neah?” Alpha Dane calls my name.
Had he felt it too? I try to speak, but nothing comes out.
