I couldn’t stop, refusing to face reality even as I approached it.
But, my mind already knew, and I had to accept it.
I’m dead.
CHAPTER37
Daniel
My feet landed on the floor mid-run, almost tripping from the rough landing, but recovering as I ran towards Mako – her body still on the ground a pool of red beneath her.
No, No, No.
Azriel’s power burst through me as we reached her side, dropping down to our knees; our eyes landed on the open wound in her chest. I was ready to heal it, when my eyes widened, my sense picked up the absence of a heartbeat.NO!
“Daniel! Is she okay?” Eli yelled, her footsteps approached.
I didn’t answer, my hands pressed against her chest as I started compressions, my power began to pool in my hands as I readied myself to jolt her heart if my attempts failed.
“C’mon Mako. Breathe!” I begged as I pressed, praying to the gods to save her.
I wanted so badly to lash out, to be pissed at whoever had done this to her, but there was no time for that. I needed to remain calm. Needed to fix my princess, so I could tell her how much I loved her.
“No. Makoto...Midnight. Don’t die, wake up!” Eli cried, falling in front of her as her hands held her head, while I continued. My eyes noticed the bracelet still on her wrist, letting out another curse.
No fucking wonder. She couldn’t protect herself cause of that stupid piece of magic restraining protection crap.
“Eli, slow the poison! It’s too close to her heart. This will all be for nothing if you can’t stop it,” I ordered, noticing the green sludge flowing in her blood.
I already could tell her legs were the most affected, the blood flow stalled by the poison. Unless we got her to Winterlya in time, she’d be paralyzed from the waist down. But that was the least of my concern; she needed to breathe before I worried about such consequences.
“Got it!” Eli placed her hands-on Makoto’s shoulders – a bright, pink light emitted from her hands. She removed her hands, a set of freshly pink markings remained on Mako’s shoulder blades.
“It will still the poison for as long as I command it. I need to stay in my fairy form or it’ll restart. We need Winterlya. She can remove the poison without having lingering effects. But it needs to be soon. I can’t hold onto this form for much longer,” Eli confessed.
I could already see the beads of sweat on her face; her shoulders moved with her deep inhales and exhales.
“KAI. Makoto isn’t breathing. Tell Winterlya and Karen they need to prepare to treat Nephilim poisoning. I need you here ASAP. If I restart her heart she needs medical attention. Eli’s slowing down the progression of the poison.”
“Where are you?”Ryder demanded as Kai and Marcus entered our bond.
“Mountain side of the exam. Eli remove your hands, I need to shock her,”I ordered, pulling out of the knight communication so I could focus. I sent a powerful jolt of my energy within her; the spark surrounded her heart, but it didn’t beat. “Dammit, again.” I cursed as I sent another jolt.
No Mako. Breathe! I didn’t tell you yet. I didn’t tell you how much I love you. Dammit, baby, don’t leave me. I’m sorry, I beg you Starlight, bring her back. Don’t take her from me. I can’t lose another person I care about. I won’t forgive myself if she dies. Please, I need my light. I need Makoto.
I could feel my back burn, as I began to half shift, my large white wings escaped my back and spread out. The power continued to flow through me, not stopping at just my wings. My hair became longer and glowed an ashy light blonde. I felt stronger, more rejuvenated than ever as I started another round of compressions.
“Let me take over Daniel. I’ll save her I swear it,”Azriel vowed.
I took one last look at Makoto; her lips turned purple as her complexion became as pale as a ghost.
Please Starlight, don’t take her away.
~AZRIEL~
I continued the compressions, my energy pooled into my hands as I readied myself.
If I couldn’t restart her heart, I’d cast a spell. I knew it would be hard on her body, potentially sending her into another coma...but, she’d be alive. I could work with that. As long as her soul was within her body, I wouldn’t rest till I got to see those turquoise eyes and hear her voice.
