Destinies

Chapter 26

~~I hope you guys like the new cover. I just made it through the Wattpad and I got to say, it made it a lot easier to make decent/pretty good covers! I might play around with the covers but please send me ideas or your covers!!~~

Those who stayed behind sat around, lounging. Some cuddling with the other while another is sleeping their life away. It seemed peaceful. The sunset shined through the grand windows, peering into the medical hall. Birds chirping while clouds scatter the sky. It made the day seem so serene. Nobody would've thought anything bad would happen. Then again, in this line work, the zodiacs have to expect the unexpected.

Luke laid, cuddling Laia, tickling her ear slightly. Whispering loving words just for him and her to hear before sensing the tension. The air in the medical hall changed, the atmosphere was replaced with a feeling of unease. His body tensed underneath Laia, making her aware of the situation. Without saying anything, both questioned the sudden change before gradually separating from each other. 

Their slow movements were calculated and precise, ready to jump into action if anything happens. As soon as Laia got up, she smacked Tahlia awake in hopes that she could help. Tahlia immediately groaned as she rubbed her arm to soothe the stinging sensation. Once she was aware of what's going on, all hell broke loose. 

Before she could have stood up from her bed, a blast of cold air rushed toward the 3 in a second. The air was crisp with microscopic snowflakes flying around. The gush of wind was razor cold, the constant snow is blowing harshly. Luke covered Laia immediately feeling the cold against his flaming hot skin. Grabbing blankets and sheets, he wrapped everyone in the area in hopes to keep everyone warm, forgetting about himself. 

"Where the hell is this coming from?" Luke yelled above the noisy wind. He looked frantically around the medical hall, seeing nothing but white. The rush of the snow is blinding him. Staying in there longer would severely harm him. Luke would be in the same state as Scarlet. 

Casey came rushing out of Scarlet's room, frostbite starting to have a slight effect on his body. Luckily, he's a water sign, his body can somewhat handle the snow, but if the temperature continues to lower at the rate it's going, he would have to leave. "Luke! Scarlet is making it snow in here. Her body is getting too warm, we have to evacuate everyone," Casey sees multiple people already leaving. "You and Arren should warn everyone not to come near the medical wing. The rest of us will evacuate the area."

"What do you mean? We can help you evacuate everyone," Arren tries to convince the elder but Casey was adamant on getting those 2 out. "We can have the girls start getting people out of the halls and-"

Arren wasn't able to finish before Casey interrupted him. "No! You 2 are the most affected by this storm. It isn't a regular snowstorm. Scarlet is using her magic to heal herself which is causing a supernatural burst of her powers! You both can't handle the outburst, especially at this magnitude. So Leave!" Casey was getting frustrated. The temperature was already dropping, and the amount of magical presence is increasing. It's practically spewing out. "Do as you're told! Now!"

His final command was heard over the barging winds. The walls are starting to crack, the windows are glossed over with frost, the marble floors are getting covered with snow. Eventually, the building will break. Knowing all of this, the zodiacs got to work. "Let's go!"

"Why did your dad and sister choose the longest and the hardest trail to climb? Why couldn't they use a lift?" Aqua complained while rubbing her freezing hands together. Her fingers were turning furiously red from being exposed to the cold air. They've been walking for 2 hours before reaching the area the incident occurred. Immediately, Vince starts to look around the area. He goes to the tree the father and daughter huddled under. Seeing the imprints of animal paws, fallen branches that couldn't support the heavy snow, and the sharp icicles hanging off the trees.
