Chapter 38

At least that's what I'd hoped for. I held my hand out to reach for the door. The Volati threaded like bolts of dark blue buzzing electricity that wheeled around the shed. I felt a slight sharp pain but it wasn't something that I couldn't handle.

I heard Asia call out my name but I didn't listen. I reached my entire arm out until half my body was on the other side of the jolts.

"Well?" Xavier asked after a couple of seconds.

"It's hot," I answered," it's getting hotter."

I felt the heat of the jolts began to throb on my skin like hot coals. I rapidly jumped to the other side and felt immediate relief when the pain was no longer there.

"What now?" I looked up towards a shocked Xavier.

"You have to unwind the chains from the door," he quickly snapped to reality," behind the door is the entrance to the church."

I nodded and looked down towards the metal chains that were outlined with the same jolts. I tried to reach for a link but quickly winced away at the heat.
