Salvior

Chapter 12

Klaus' POV

I freeze as I see her lying on the bathroom floor in a pool of her own blood. I am next to her the next instant, taking her slit wrist in one hand while listening to her almost none existing heartbeat.

«« ««

" My love ?" My breath hitches as I look at her in disbelief. She slit her wrist, intentionally.  My beast growls at the back of my mind. I stay there motionless, flabbergasted with a momentarily blank mind.

I feel my beast take control but I push him back and try to think. I pull her in my arms feeling myself crushing internally.

I need to save her.

She'll die if I don't do something but what?

Alex

" Come her now" I inform him through telepathy making sure he feels the pressure and command in my demand. This makes my beast take control but I fight with him for a while and end up having the upper hand.

This kind of battle has been going on since I came back to myself. Basically because my human and beast sides are unbalanced. So he tends to take control while I'm unguarded or when I make moderate to no effort in using any of my powers.

Alex appears in the bathroom and seconds later his eyes fall on Liz. He looks at her, terror in his demeanor. He rushes to her and takes her wounded wrist in his hands next. A moment later it is healed.

Why didn't I think of that?

" She's not fine. She has lost a lot of blood, Klaus" his panicked voice reaches my ears but I know that already. I suppress the urge to give myself to my beast and let him control over everything as I try to focus on Liz's well being.

" We should take her to the hospital." Alex says but stays paralysed on the bathroom floor with my Destined's hand in his hold.

" She needs blood." I break the silence standing up with Liz in my hands breaking our trance in the process.

" I'll prepare the car, you come down with her." He says then teleports. I walk out of the castle and it feels like it took longer than necessary. I find a waiting Alex next to an opened car door with the driver already at his seat with his hands on the wheel.

I get in with her in my arms and we drive off. Alex talks on the phone while I look at Liz, millions of questions passing through my mind. My hand brushes through her hair a couple of times. I look at her quiet looking face and lean in to kiss her pouty lips before cradling her.

What have I done? I hold her tighter into my arms hugging her securely.

" Don't do this to me "  I wish to myself as I feel her heartbeat decelerates drastically.

" Please" I feel my beast groaning in agony at the back of my mind as the soul bond between our Destined considerably weakens.

"No! No!"

"When are we getting there, Alex?" I growl in a mixture of anger and agony. I look up to see the road being cleared by some of my men, circling my car causing us to move faster.  I look back at a very pale Liz.

My love  My Queen

What did I do?

"Drive faster!" I growl at the driver, loosing control to my beast for a nanoseconds and within that lapse of time, he releases a considerable amount of my aura which I don't care to take back in when I regain control.

" I am Sir " he say in a low voice but it's not enough for me. She's f*****g dying. My Liz.

" Drive f*****g faster!" My beast and I growl in anger, fear and frustration.

" We're almost there, Klaus" Alex says trying to calm me but I can't calm the f**k down. She's dying. She's f*****g dying.

I feel the soul bond start snapping in my heart, my head and my entire being. My beast and I freeze, looking at her in terror.

"Please do not leave, please. Do not do this to me, my love" I mutter through gritted teeths, taking away her hair from her face, kissing her forehead. I feel my emotions creeping to my eyes, blurring half of my vision.

I rest a long kiss on her forehead with my eyes closed, then rest my forehead on hers. Clenching my eyes and teeths tights as I continuously crush under the excruciating pain of a snapping soul bond and the fact that I'm loosing my Destined.

I feel my life, my sanity slowly leaving my entire being as I put all my hope in some inexistent whatever power in the universe, wishing for her to not die on me.

" We are here" Alex says getting out of the car and I follow next. A crowd of doctors already waiting for us with a stretcher. I place Liz on the stretcher and follow them closely into the emergency department and into a room.

The next things happen out of my control and in a blur.

.........

I'm sitted next to her bed, her hand in mine and her once pale face filled with colour. She's safe and out of any danger. The soul bond between us, back to life giving a sense of tranquility to my beast and I.

I close my eyes sighing deeply as I kiss her knuckles for the millionth time. I almost lost her.... again but this time it would have been the end to it all.

I clench my teeths to prevent the silence tears to roll down my cheeks but it's useless.

I made her suffer. I did this. Why? Because I was too scared of her leaving and ashamed of myself for treating her poorly. Pushing her in harm's way, now she's paying the bigger price.

I made this. I should fix this. It's all on me to fix everything. Fix her, Fix me, Fix us.

I wipe my face after a while as I keep listening to the beeping machine. It's useless to shed tears over this right now. It happened but now she's out of danger.

This is my second chance. The chance to amend all my wrongs.
