Poofless: Time Cant Keep Us Apart (Third Book!!)

Bidding Goodbyes (Rob)

Panick taking control of my mind as soon as he started writhing around in pain in Mitch's arms tear stains stuck to my face as I watched him struggle, helpless...

The image of his lifeless body laying on the beach flashed in my mind as I continued staring at him, his eyes shining a deep dark blue, like the bottom of an ocean. Literally. They were shining.

His screams piercing through my ears I couldn't take it any longer. Reaching my arms out he squirmed into my arms as he screamed.

Mitch immediately releasing him into my arms we watched him slowly start to calm down as soon as I held him, shivers sweeping over me as I touched his ice cold skin gingerly.....

My poor baby......He was freezing..... Curling him towards me more I sighed swaying him back and forth he relaxed into my arms, no longer trying to escape.

Sizzling sounds bouncing off of his skin, I knew what we had to do.....So did everybody else.....But yet....Nobody was ready to let go of Preston....

His head rubbing against my arm I glanced downwards seeing his now sincered deep blue eyes gazing up at me, the blue fading turned to the curious yet kind brown ones I loved.

"Rob," Preston choked out, his voice shocking me at how quiet it was. My poor little Preston was hurt, I hated seeing him like this. But it just hurt even more since I couldn't do anything...

Choco lunged off of the ground going to scout knowing he was not needed at the moment, wanting to escape from the tension. Preston's gaze following probably wanting to fly away as well.

"I know Preston, I know..." I cooed adjusting my grasp on him so we were both in a more comfortable position.

"So when are we trying the experiment?" Vikk piped up nervousness and anxiousness clear in his voice as his eyes practically were popping out of his head.

"Now, right now. Rob? Can you carry me to the lake? Jerome, when we get there....I need you to toss me into the air so I can dive into the water myself...Got it guys?" Preston demanded his voice quiet,

everyone silencing more than they were before, acceptance passing through the crowd as everyone nodded their heads.

"Of course Preston, anything for you." Jerome agreed completely fine with tossing Preston in the air, everyone knew this might be the last moment we saw Preston, and probably was....

"Preston?" Lachlan blurted out gaining his attention, out stretching his arms a reassuring smile danced onto Preston's lips as he nudged me.

Reluctant to let him go I edged towards Lachlan, placing Preston in his arms they instantly wrapped their arms around each other.

"Goodbye Lachlan.." Preston spoke breaking the silence, whimpers bounced around us.....We were a pack, stayed a pack...Now one of our pack members may leave....It's not fair...Life's not fair....

"Good bye Preston, I hope to see you later..." Lachlan choked out, his voice cracking. Sounding hoarse he repositioned Preston in his arms.

Tears trickling down both of their faces they hid their face in each other's shoulders, we all grew so close....Now one of us might leave...Forever...

Lachlan passed Preston gingerly to Mat who shoved his head in the crook of Preston's neck, whispering something in his ear, gave him a peck on the cheek before handing him to Mitch.

Mitch holding Preston in his arms, his lower lip shaking he grabbed fistfuls of Preston's shirt. Cautious as to not squeeze his wings.

"I'm so sorry Preston...We should have tried the experiment sooner.." Mitch cried out his whole body raking whenever he tried holding in a cry only to fail every time.

"Don't be sorry Mitch, it's my fault. I was the one who wasn't ready to give all of you up, now I may have less of a chance than I did before, but I will still take the risk.." Preston assured

pecking Mitch's cheek a soft laugh sounding more of a sigh escaped Mitch's mouth. Returning the kiss on the cheek he trudged towards Vikk.

Vikk's whole face brightening as Preston came close, his arms reaching out for Preston as soon as he was layed in his arms Vikk whipped himself towards Preston.

"It's all of our faults Preston, you can't even walk of spring off of the ground anymore, it's everybody's fault." Vikk speeched spreading the blame out on everyone.

"Thanks Vikk, if I don't make it....Or something happens....I'll miss you..." Preston commented causing tears to spill instantly out of Vikk's eyes.

"Bye Preston.." Vikk whispered giving him a long kiss on the forehead in a friend like way. All eyes on them as we stared.

"Bye Vikk, see you soon.." Preston responded as he was passed down onto Kenny, Kenny's eyes shattering as soon as Preston landed in his arms.

Jealousy flaring in my stomach I glared at them as Kenny gave Preston a long kiss on the cheek, tears spilling down both of their faces Preston returned the kiss.

Resting his head on Kenny's chest tears pricked my eyes as they let go of each other. Kenny dragged himself toward me, Preston in his arms he hesitantly gave him back to me.

"Bye guys...... I hope I see you later..." Preston spit out, his voice shaky. Fear radiating around him.

Byes and small cries sounded around the pack of friends I turned away from them all starting to make my way towards the lake. Jerome right behind us.

I might never see him again....
