First thing that came to mind was, saving her, helping her. She is damaged beyond repare.
The other 3 stand behind me in horror, Akira having fear plastered all over her face. To be honest, I was afraid also, but not for them, for losing Patunia.
She did not deserve this, not one bit. Soo I take my chance, putting one step infront of the other, drawing closer to Her broken body. She eyes every movement. Her eyes are red from crying, every small vein can be seen. I could not bear to see her in this shape.
I take another 2 steps, but I got brutally stopped by her hands swinging out. "Don't, she's watching, they are watching. They will kill you..." her eyes scruches close "You have to run, Now.. They are coming!" she yelled full blown.
They? What did she mean by they?! "Who are coming Patunia?" I begged her. She looks at me through her watery eyes.
"Evil" is the only thing she says before my world got dark, and I was unconscious. For how long.. I don't know.
Pain was all I felt, my face was cold. I felt numb. My lungs burnt uncontrollable, it felt like someone took a burning white iron and pushed it down my throat.
A moaning sound gave me enough strength to open my eyes, a small camp fire was lit a few feet from my body that was laying in the snow.
Blinking several times I push myself up with my elbows, increasing the burn within my lungs, in which made me groan, it didn't sound very good at all.
"Take it slow" the women's voice echoed in my ear, I turn my head to see from whom it came and to my surprise, it was Akira.
The women I'm seeing right infront of me is a complete different person. She's more confident, less scared. I had to take a few minutes to make sure it Was Akira and not my mind fucking with me. And it was.
I sit up fully, after a few seconds of complete horrible dizziness. "What happened?" is the first thing that came to mind, but mostly I cared of what happened to Patunia, where was she, is she still OK? All that questions floated my mind like a roadecoaster. It made me nauseated.
"Well do you want the simple answer or the difficult?" her cocky voices rang. I raised an eyebrow at her, she was real checky for a girl that was a damsel in distress.
"Just tell me what the f... Just tell me" I almost lost my shit there for a moment. She looks at me, sighing.
"Fine, I'll give u the simple one. The Sycans came, took Jason and Maddy. And only left you and me behind.. I mean do you know how freaking heavy you were, I had to drag your ass all the way out here... Alone....." she bubbles.. My eyes wided.
They took them, I was losing my sanity about this fuckers. First, my mate and then my sisters and now my friends. I'm gonna los it.
I pushed my hands into my pockets to find the tube is still safe.
" We need to get them" I brought up before I even got to think this through. She shakes her head in a aggressive manner, if she shakes any harder, her head surely would come off.
"Not a damn chance in hell. Did you see that things.. Oo no wait, you didn't cause you were face planting the snow while I got the terrifying first hand shit. I ain't looking forward to that again. That things are scary." she pauses... Honestly, I did not expect her to say anything like that. And she opens her mouth, again.
"it's like going up to their door, saying 'Hey, bite of our heads and use it as a trophy cause we are fucking stupid' No. No. No, that isn't a option. We need to get more of your wolfy friends" I wanted to laugh soo bad at her, but this isn't a time. I have to admit, she has a point.
"Fine. I'm geusing we are going to my pack than. Hey. Wanted to ask you, you have any powers, I mean you are a Lucan though" she thinks for a moment, sadness coming over her cheeks.
"To be honest, I don't know. I never tried to seek it out, I don't know how. I never had anyone who can teach me" she whispered. I mean I feel bad for her. To know you have something but can't use it cause you didn't have the quidence.
I spring to my feet, dizziness hitting me like a rock. Shaking my head to get rid of it I signal her to get to her feet. And she follows it. "I will teach you, but we first need to know what it is"
She thinks for a moment "Well I was always attracted to nature, I can always grow roses in the winter. My mother found it odd" well that reply solved it all..
I'm starting to think her Power is nature, maybe. Elements maybe.
"It's worth a shot. Now, close your eyes" and she does. "I need you to focus, connect with that inner part of yourself. If you really think that that is your gift, I need you to focus on it. Clear your mind. This might sound stupid but become it."
After felt like hours of failure, she got it. "Now show me again" I requested. Her power was amazing, I was right, she has power over the elements.
She takes a deep breath as the sweat drops down her face exhausted from the practice. She draws her right hand out to the burning fire. Flames rises from the fire pit. Dancing towards her fingers. Until it dances like blades fighting in a blissful day.
She stretches her other hand out, toward the blanket of snow. Making a small tornado of snow swirling around her, hugging her with protection. She opens her eyes and they find me, glory glistening within her irises and for once I'm happy. I didn't just help someone with my powers, I helped someone earn Their own....
"Well done Akira, I'm proud of you." I smiled at her, a true smile that no world could break. She giggles at me, something that I don't hear from her. It almost sounds alien.
"So, now you know my power.." she looks up me "Now tell me yours" well I didn't how to tell her that I'm a healer.
"Well, I heal people" is all I could say.
"What do you heal?" her voices carries curiosity.. She has to much questions, I thought to myself.
"Wounds, mostly"
"Show me" what the hell... I gotta get her something to shut the hell up. I almost laughed at myself for that remark.
"You don't have a wound or any type of injery, how do you expect me to show you if there is no wound to heal?" I asked her deadpan..
But what she did next shocked me to the core she grabbed the knife that was still in my bag. Slit her wrist, blood flowing everywhere. Red splashes coats the white ice in a fury.
I rush to her side, clamping my left hand onto her wrist to stop the heavy bleeding, she definitely sliced some big veins there.
Anger and worry was floating inside me, what came over her to do this type of thing? "Have you lost your fucking mind Akira, you cannot go and slice your wrist like that. What if my powers don't work on you!? What if I can't heal you or if I'm to weak to heal you!" I yelled. I am panicked beyond believe.
This girls wound is squirting with blood, pooling the ground and making my light blue shit a ugly red purple.
She looks at the ground shamelessly, her actions hitting her squere in the face. I still can't believe she was soo fucking foolish to do this.
I put my other hand on her aswell. Closing my eyes.
I focus. Seeing the veins reconnect again, as blood flows through them healthy.
I feel the tissue and cells rejoin. Stitching themselves back together. I feel her skin growing, I feel every mark dissappear until I feel the pressure releases itself in my head.
I remove my hands, still covered in blood. To see her slash is no where to be seen, not even one mark.
She looks shocked to say the least, well she didn't expect that at all. "Wow, thank you. That is really... Something to be proud of" that.. That caught me off guard, something to be proud of?
Most of the the time I had my gift, I took it for grated and I really regret it now.
It makes me regret the shitty choices I have made through my life. And those times I will never get back again.
Mother always told me to make the best out of your life, make every moment count and do the right choices and in a way, it feels like I did the wrong choices all my life.
I never really appreciate my mother or my father, and now I am paying the prize for it. If only we could turn back time, make things right, I would without a heart beat.
I only have now to make my family proud. The ones I have left. And I will not disappoint them. Or rather I'll try.
