Chapter 50: Tethered to Magic

"No, don't go," my voice cracked. "Jasper won't be alive much longer. You'll never make it back to Jenkins."

"What are you saying?" Kento frowned at me.

"I-I can sense it. We only have a few minutes before Jasper's heart stops. Please, you have to let me try and heal him." I stared from Kento to Reed and back again. "I know I can do this."

But I didn't. I was scared and panic choked me. I had to try though. I had to do something. I'd been unable to save my mom - my aunt. I didn't want anyone else to lose their life because of me.

Reed gave me a tight nod. "What do you need?"

"I'm not sure." I gave him a watery smile, letting go of Jasper's hand and moving my palm to his heart. "Sit down and both of you cover my hand with your own."

With a look at Kento, Reed did as I asked, then Kento placed his hand over both of ours.

My magic flared in my palms hot and fast. I directed it into Jasper's chest.
