The Five Demigods

Chapter 69

Scott was laying on his back, looking at the ceiling, thinking about the only things he could: Mitch and their baby.

He thought back to when he told Mitch he was pregnant, and the visions Mitch had scene. He still didn't know what the fourth one was, Mitch never told him.

He sighed with a shiver. It was very cold, at least, to Scott it was. He still had a fever, and every movement he made sent chills all over his body. The blanket did little to help.

His thoughts were interrupted when he saw a small light coming from the corner. He watched as the light traveled over to him and buried itself in his chest.

What freaked him out was why he didn't feel any pain, but he felt warmth spread throughout his entire body.

He took a deep breath as his body seemed to feel a little better. His chills had gone away slightly, and his back wasn't hurting anymore, and he could think clearly.

The ball exited his chest and floated over to Kirstie, doing the same thing before it left her body and vanished.

He still felt warm and fuzzy inside, but he was so confused as to what it could've been.

He felt his stomach move, and he let out a gasp at the feeling, putting his hands on his stomach to feel it again. He chuckled when he did.

He smiled and laid back down, cradling his stomach.

"I love you, baby girl." He said softly.

He was rewarded with a gentle kick, at which he smiled.

Kevin woke up to Mitch screaming.

He quickly scrambled over to the demigod, who's face was red and entire body was tensed, that was thrashing around as he screamed.

"Mitch!" He said, fighting to get his arms around him. "Mitch, wake up!"

Kevin felt heat starting where Mitchs hands were, but he just held on tighter. "Come on, Mitch." He said, teeth gritted.

He felt Mitch's arms relax and the burning stop as Mitchs hands shifted and he clung to Kevin and wailed.

Kevin rocked him as he rubbed Mitchs back. "You're okay."

Mitch just let out his sobs as the visions replayed in his head: Scott chained up, getting prodded with more than enough needles. Mitch was tied down, forced to watch all of this as Matt asked him questions, and if he refused, or begged, or said anything that wasn't an answer, Xan and T would give the both of them a matching wound. Mitch woke up just before the blade sunk into his stomach.

"I need them back." Mitch sobbed into Kevin's shoulder, clinging to him for dear life. His sick feeling hadn't gotten any better, which definitely wasn't helping anything.

"I know, Mitch." Kevin sighed. "I know."

Avi and Leigh were outside, because Avi wanted some more help with his powers, and they came running the moment Avi heard Mitch screaming.

"What happened?!" Leigh asked, out of breath anxiety that had over taken her as she ran.

"Nightmare." Was all Kevin said as he continued to rock Mitch, who seemed to be going back to sleep. "I'll stay with him and make sure he's okay. He's fine now, but I'm still gonna watch him."

Leigh nodded as she sniffled, remembering her own experience. The blood gave her the worst nightmares when it first started diluting. If someone already had a history of having nightmares, it only made those worse.
