It was Rey.
She had saved them.
She had saved them even when she was too young to understand danger. Yet she felt it. She felt the need to save them both.
Leila got to her hands and knees, eyes still on Rey, tears running down her face.
One by one, the men's necks cracked, making them fall to the ground with a thud. Some bodies had limbs on different angles too, before they fell.
But Rey remained on the floor, sobbing, rocking herself back and forth.
I didn't notice I was trembling until I saw Leila do the same.
Every man in the room fell into a horrible death from a pup. Except the man behind her.
Buy I still felt the wave of her power. She wasn't done but she also wasn't doing anything more to him.
Leila looked at me. "Nick..."
They were mine. That was one of my gifts...but more modified. Where I could only make a wolf have fatal internal injuries, she killed them whole. She either couldn't control it or it was the length of her power.
Leila's eyes pleaded with me to stop her.
I crawled, pushing through the waves. I was shaking all throughout.
"Rey..." I called out to her. "Sweetheart, listen to me..."
I kept crawling to her.
"I'm right here. I'm right here, darling. Don't be scared, daddy's right here, sweetheart."
She sobbed louder, sniffing her now runny nose.
"Don't be afraid." I calmed my voice. "You're strong and very brave." I felt my head become dizzy from the strain of her powers. "I need you to calm down for me, sweetheart."
She kept sobbing.
"I'm right here. Mommy's right here."
"I...can't..." I barely hear her from the sobbing.
"Let me help you." My fingers brushed her feet. "I need you to reach to the deeps of your aura..."
Fuck! She's just a pup.
"...I need you to reach into your heart...where you feel so much pain. I know it hurts sweetie, but let me take it. Let me help you carry your fear. Let me in..."
She sobbed.
"Please...I can't help you if you push me out." I felt her power slip away from me just a bit.
