تسجيل الدخولMIAAll the curtains had been dropped and the windows were down. Xerxes lay still on the bed, his breathing even, letting the pot of liquid on his chest rise and fall slowly. His eyes were closed as if he was expecting what was to come, having accepted his fate. Elara was still in the corner. “Do you know what to do first?” To the best of my knowledge, just say the words and let the spirit do its thing. She took my silence for a no. “Place your hand on his chest so you can feel it's movement. If it's moving, then it means it's very active. If it's not, that means it's strength is out.”I walked over to the side of the bed and places my hand on his chest and just one second later, I withdrew it with such speed that scared even me. “What is it? What's the wrong?” “It's moving, it's moving fast. It's generating heat from the inside, it's like he's about to combust.” Hearing that last part, Xerxes's eyes flew open but he didn't move. My attention went back to Elara. “That mean
MIAEveryone was in the room, everyone that was important in what was going on. The room was tensioned and very quiet due to the amount of thoughts that were presently going through everyone's brains. But how could it not? Well, one person wasn't thinking. “Still beats how out of everyone in this room, including you Xerxes, you'd actually buy into the bullshit this kid is saying. I mean, how could you believe what she said just because she's done one or two little tricks? Anyone with access to a spell book can do the stupid shit she did. But cancer? He'll, not even the doctors could fix you so what makes you think this kid will?” Andrea stepped in, putting her hand on his shoulder to stop him but he pushed it away. “Leave me the hell alone. It's cancer, not a little cut. I thought you wanted to die earlier. Why change your mind when you have a few days left? I'm sure she has a motive for doing this. It just sickens me that I'm the only one left here with a brain that actually work
MIAI got to work immediately, reading as much books as I can about healing not just injuries, but sicknesses. Magma was a big help, pointing me to where her books were so I could have access and practice before I went ahead to do it. For hoursnon end, I flipped through pages, reading and practicing spells that if neeve heard of before and were too difficult for me to pronounce. But I had my mind set to it. I wouldn't give up. Eventually, I learned that it was nothing close to what I'd performed on Xavier. It was a whole lot different. Sicknesses have an energy, a very dark energy that settled at the center of that person soul and that's why it's able to spread evenly out into the body and get rooted so deeply that it's hard to heal. That's also why it was more complicated to take care of. All I needed to do was learn how to suck the energy out of that person soul. That was the easy part. The hard part was what I would do with that energy. Often times, when a dark energy has be
MIAAfter that, Xavier and Kaan returned with the food that Xerxes had forgotten he asked for.I could tell his stomach churned as he looked at the food, having to eat it. Xavier stood at the door, waiting for me to walk up to him. “I'll see you soon, Xerxes. Will you wait for me?” He smiled as he looked up from the plate. “We have a deal, I won't go back on my word.”Good. Imagine asking a sick man not to die just so I can come and heal him. How interesting. As Xavier closed the door behind me, I removed the cloth from around my neck, the one he had given me so Xerxes won't have questions. If he had seen it, I would have just lied to him that it was a really bad allergic reaction. He would have called me out on my bullshit though because he's not easily gullible. “What were you guys talking about? What deal did you have?” He looked really invested so I told him everything, including his uncle's response. Somehow, I was expecting his expression to lighten, hearing that his uncl
MIA“What if I told you that there was something we could do? I mean, I can do.”The look of hope on his face was impossible to miss. Even in his weak state, that was the first bit of emotion I saw on him. He tried to sit up right but it didn't work so he just gave up. There were too many wires hooked up to him to even bother doing that. “What do you mean, Mia?” I looked down at my hands, not being able to look in his eyes. It seemed like he had placed his life in my hands and now, it was up to me to decide what to do with it. How would I promise a man life? What if I can't deliver? “Xerxes, all I'm going to do is try. I can't watch you go through things like this and not say anything, you mean so much to Xavier and I didn't realize it till now. He also didn't realize it, it's too soon for him to let you go. So I'll make a sacrifice for him and heal you. I'm going to try with everything in me but I'll put my back in and make sure that I help you and I can't let you die, not while
MIAMy throat was closing up, except this time around, William didn't have his hands around my throat. It was like my own body was attacking me all over again. It scared the living daylights out of me to stand there and instead of Xavier being by my side and trying to figure out if his uncle did succeed in killing me, I was seeing Chris. How the hell did I even remember what happened? I was unconscious and not coherent, how did my consciousness pick this up? “Mia, please talk to me. Look at me, what is wrong? I'm sorry I didn't come out earlier but please talk to me.”Even if he had come out earlier, it wouldn't have stopped what was going to happen. My knees gave way and I fell to the floor, holding the sink to try to steady myself but that failed. Tears blurred my eyes but I could still see the panic very evident on his face and it scared me too. “I'm sorry, it's not you. It's me…I saw something. Chris, I saw him that night. It was crazy. He came at me, he hit me so hard and I
MIA“What did you go to her house to do?” “To talk to her. I wanted to see if I could call her out on her bullshit and get her to drop the claims once and for all. We both knew she was lying, our friends knew it, Xavier knew it. None of them would believe her. She was jealous and evil, that's what
MIA“That’s her father?! Well shit. No wonder he's been asking to meet.”Wait what? That came out of nowhere. “Really? Since when?”“I don't know. But he's been calling my office non-stop. I thought he just wanted to talk about business. I had no idea her name was Madison Pierce.”He placed his ha
MIA“Tell me. I can handle it.” She refused to make eye contact with me,helping me mix my salad. “I just can't do it, Mia. Xavier said to take away your phone and keep you away from the whole case entirely. Now you want me to tell you what people are saying?” They don't understand that I may be
MIAAs soon as we got to the station, they started with their questions. There were two detectives in the room, both sitting down and facing me. Apparently, Madison had been shot. “Miss Winston, I understand your close connection with the Volkov family so it would be in both our interests to coo
