The car stops to a hold in front of the mansion, so in the most gentle way possible I position her in my arms, ready to lift her up. The car door swings open, revealing Blake that has a dark look on his face when he sees the state his sister is in, especially now that he doesn't have the pressure of dodging bullets.
He extends his arms for me to give him his sister, but I only press her against me even more, unable to let her go again. Blake clenched his jaw as he is about to object, but Leo appears behind him and indicates me to get inside immediately. I follow behind Leo to see him looking back at me with a pale face, his eyes lingering on his sister with a worried look.
I move my gaze towards the girl in my arms and see her wince in pain at each foot that hits the concret floor of the mansion. I just wish I could take all that pain away, give it to me I don't care. Just not her.
I try giving her a reassuring smile, only to get a look void of any emotions back. It's like her soul is just empty, broken, which scares me even more to be honest.
I traverse the living room , behind Leo and I notice how the rest of the brothers follow close behind, wanting to get informations on her state. At least she knows that she is not alone anymore and that we will stay by her side as long as she needs us to.
"Lay her down here." Leo indicates, as we enter a room specialised for medical treatment, and he gestures for the rest of his brothers to stay outside off the room, which blows up in a fit of complaints. It's cut short when he closes the door on their noses. I focus on Magnolia and lay her down on the soft bed as gently as possible and I almost want to hurt myself , when I notice how she jumps at the single contact of the bed. " You should leave too Jace, it's not a good idea for you to stay here."
"I don't fucking care Leo, I can't leave her again. I already made that mistake once and I promise you it won't happen again." I lift my head up to glare at Leo, who only looks at me back with the same dreadful stare.
"It's not something that needs to be discussed Reed. Get. The. Fuck. Out." His tone is ice cold, trying to get me to fold, but I won't. It's useless. I stand up and face him, standing slightly taller than him.
"I am going to go out of this room, not for me, not for you, but for her. I will stay right behind that door and if I hear one single complaint from her, I will burst through that door with not a single second of hesitation, do you understand me ?" I state firmly and turn around to get out of the room, but as I am about to do so, a fragile tinny hand wraps itself around my wrist, which makes me freeze in place.
I turn my head around to see the pale face of Magnolia, her eyes begging me to stay close to her, and she doesn't even have to say a word that I am by her side again, slowly caressing her air out of the face. I whisper smoothing words to her, letting her know that I won't leave her and that seems to relax her just a little bit. Leo doesn't reply anything as I take a seat next to her bed and he starts to do his analysis on her.
