Zane stayed silent and Braxton took a deep breath.
"We need to talk when this is over. Understood?"
"Understood," Zane replied quietly.
"Jinn, hang on for a bit," Logan soothed.
I wish I could reply, but I wasn't capable, the weird sensation growing stronger with each passing moment. It felt like the world shifted around me, my stomach doing a flip at the wave of magic that surrounded me, but I fought off the nausea, even though everything felt like it was spinning .
"What in the— What happened?! Is that Jinn!" The voice was high pitched and familiar.
"Nurse Savannah, long story. Jinn needs help now." Maximus sounded stressed.
"Maximus lock the door," Savannah ordered. "I need to know what happened, right now."
"We had a test. There was an energy burst and Jewel was pushed by the aftershock of the blast and slammed into a cement wall. She hit her head and now she's bleeding and is on the verge of a seizure," Braxton explained in one breath.
He sounded freaked out, which was so unlike his normal composed confident self, which left me wondering how bad the situation really was.
"We need to move back or get Jewel in the bed, like right now. She's gonna have a seizure," Logan announced.
"How do—“ Savanah began but Logan interrupted.
"I've known Jewel my whole life. No more questions!”
Everyone remained silent.
Okay, Jewel. No freaking out. You're gonna be fine. This isn't like when you were a kid. You're strong, it's not scary. It's not scary... you're not gonna die from this. Just a little jerking and possibly lip biting. I'm gonna feel like shit for a couple of hours and be lucky if I’m able to speak.
"Jewel. You're gonna be okay. Don't panic. I'm here,"Alice’s sweet voice whispered.
I felt tears roll down my cheeks, even while my eyes were squeezed shut. There was too much going on and my senses were more sensitive than ever.
My hearing, the feeling of touch, the smell of blood that reminded me of Gabriel's, the intense fear I felt when he died, the same as when I got injured that day and Gabriel saved me.
I wanted him here.
I longed for him to hold me just as he did back then, telling me everything was going to be alright.
I miss my brother…
That was the last thought I had before I began seizing and blacked out.
RECOVERY AND BROKEN PAST
"RUN, RUN, RUN, HEHEHE," I squealed, running around.
I hadn’t made it ten steps before arms reached out and picked me up.
"Oh no, you don't. What did the doctor say, Jewel?"
I pouted, turning to Father who raised an eyebrow at me.
"But Daddy. It's boring when I can't play! I don't like sitting all day in the boring room. I want Brother," I whined, my eyes already filling with tears.
He sighed, pulling me to his chest.
"Sweetie, don't cry. It’s going to hurt your head and make the pain worse. Gabriel will be here any minute to come play with you. I can play with you now though if you like?" he offered.
