taking back what's mine...

Xanders POV..

"Unseal us! " His being whispered to him.

" No", he shook his head disregarding its request.

Life would be so much easier if he did though.

He was never exhausted when unsealed, could be a hundred times faster and finding her would be instantaneous. Over the past few days he had experienced what it was to labor and feel exhausted. This was what Helena had been going through and he felt closer to her, sharing her experience.

"Helena!!! "he called out to her, searching anywhere and everywhere. He folded his arm in front of him, pushing against the ghastly gale, as he struggled with his footing.

He knew he had no choice, his being was his only option but no matter what, he could not imagine her reaction to being rescued by a six foot amalgamation between a bat and a humanoid.

"Answer me damn it!"

As time passed, his desperation grew and the pressure to be released intensified. He now stood at the edge of a cliff, the little cabins scattered all over the valley below.
