Chapter 53

Blake's POV

Everyone was going out of their minds. The patrol team was back and so was my father. My mother immediately fell in his arms and I could see how hard it was for him. He was angry, but he managed to hold it in and keep it together to comfort my mother. I was just standing in a corner feeling hopeless. My wolf Ryker was trying to reach out to Reina, Mia's wolf. So far, it has been of no use. She must have suffered damage as well. Damn it! At this point, Mia is holding on by a thread. Anything could happen, and we won't be able to stop it.

Unable to take it, I punched the wall behind me. I have never felt this way before. It's too much and what is much more annoying is that I don't know what to do. I am completely lost. I sat on the floor and hugged my knees like a little kid. I just wanted it all to end. The fear of the unknown. We all know what might happen, but it's dreadful to even imagine. I don't know how long I've been just sitting on the floor just hearing my mother cry. Time went by and nothing changed. Every time my dad asked the Doc, the look on his face said it all.

So we continued waiting and praying to the goddess that Mia is healed and will become fine. I never took praying seriously before. I guess I never needed to do as much as I do right now. In my heart, I was begging the moon goddess to give me one last chance to fix things between Mia and I. She can't leave me.. all of us like that. It just can't be.

Hours went by and we couldn't leave. Father tried to force mother to get some rest, but she refused. She wanted to be with Mia but the doctor advices against being in the room with her, so all we could do was stay outside. In my despair, I forgot all about Brielle. I don't know what is going on with her after the hospital. I searched for my phone and realized that I had probably left it in the car. She must be worried about me. Is she? I remember the name she said again. River.

I shook my head along with my insecurities. I can't think about things like that at this moment, but I do need to hear Brielle's voice. I think that's the only thing that can calm the brewing storm in me at the moment. I walked out of the clinic and headed towards my car. I got inside the car and found my phone on the passenger seat. I picked it up, and I was surprised to find so many texts and calls from Brielle. She was worried about me. Briefly, that brought a smile on my face.

I was about to call her when a sharp pain hit my chest. I gripped my chest and the phone fell down. The pain was searing and traveled through my entire body. My heart throbbed strongly, making me groan.

" N-No," I let out painfully. I could feel it. I knew what was going on. Tears started falling out of my eyes as the pain tore me apart. This was it. I lost. I felt my bond with my sister severe. It was too painful, but that was not what hurt. Feeling myself lose her was more painful than the actual pain. I heard screams from the inside that confirmed what was going on. The pain was too strong for me. I screamed as well and thrashed around in the car. It started to feel like someone was choking me. I felt suffocated. My body felt like it was on fire. I have never experienced such pain before. It was unbearable, yet I fought my way out of the car and fell on the ground. My body was heavy to carry, so I struggled to get up.

I was out and alone. I couldn't cry out for help. The clinic was right up ahead but so far. I knew I wouldn't make it. I reached out my hand in desperation, hoping that somehow I would beat this pain and be able to get up, but in the end I lost. It got so much too bare that I gave in and fell on the ground with a thud. It was black, and I felt like I was getting crushed by some weight. Tears continued to spill endlessly. It's over.

Brielle's POV

I jolted awake with a gasp. I was sweating so much, and I felt like I couldn't breathe. I felt a sharp pain in my heart. I clutched my chest, confused. I looked around, and it was still in the middle of the night. I got out of bed and walked to the window, looking outside. It's strange. So strange. I am feeling emotions that are not mine. Sadness, pain, grief and despair. Those were not my feelings. Right then it hit me like a rock.

The emotions I was feeling must be Blake's emotions. It must be. However, I have never felt anything like this before. It's the first time I was feeling what he was feeling. Moreover, what could be going on when he feels this way? I felt the urge to just cry, and then a tear slipped out of my eye. I wiped it away. The emotions were so intense. It can't be right. Did something happen to him?

Asking all these questions to myself was maddening. Blake must be in trouble and I need to help him. I don't know what could be going on with him at the moment, but I need to be by his side. I know he needs me. Picking up my phone, I tried to call him again, which proved to be pointless now. It gave me confirmation that something wrong was going on. For the rest of the night, I was unable to sleep a wink. To be away from him when he needed me the most was frustrating. I wish I could teleport right now.

I sat on the floor next to my bed feeling bad about the situation. I just didn't realize that I fell asleep while sitting. When the sun shone through the window, its rays were sharp and ended up waking me up.

As soon I opened my eyes and I was welcomed by daylight, I immediately got up and ran to the bathroom. I wanted to get ready quickly and get to school on time. I knew that Blake would not make it to school early, but I wanted to be there to see him. I took a quick shower and got ready in record time. The whole time, my heart was beating loudly, and I was anxious. That nagging feeling lingered and wouldn't go away. I hate to admit it, but I am sure that something is wrong.

I am afraid to find out, but I have to. I just hope that what ever might be wrong is not as bad as I think. Once I was ready, I sprinted downstairs. The coast was clear with no one in sight, so I quickly went out before anyone could see me. I didn't want anyone interrogating me.

When I was outside, I didn't see his car. A part of me was just wishing that whatever I was thinking was wrong, and I would come out to him waiting for me in his car ready to go to school together. I sighed. What could be wrong?
