Her Purpose || Kai Parker

Chapter 84

Niklaus, gesturing for her to follow, carefully led her through the hallways until they reached Camille's room.

Inside, Cami lay sleeping, though the strain of her illness was evident in her pale features.

Camille stirred awake abruptly, her eyes locking onto Estrella, clearly bewildered by the sight of a heavily pregnant woman standing by her bedside.

"What's going on?" Cami asked, her voice groggy with confusion.

"Hello, Camille, I'm Estrella. May I?" Estrella introduced herself gently, gesturing toward Cami's wounded hand.

Cami, still dazed, nodded. "Cami's fine... and sure," she replied, extending her bitten hand.

As the others looked on in awe, Estrella's eyes glowed a vivid red, her magic sparking to life as she carefully inspected the wound.

"Holy shit," Vincent muttered under his breath, clearly impressed.

Freya, intrigued, stepped closer.

"What exactly are you going to do?" she asked, watching intently as Estrella continued her examination.

"I'm going to extract the poison," Estrella explained calmly. "I'll use body manipulation to draw the venom to the surface, then neutralize it until it's nothing more than a scratch."

Freya and Vincent exchanged astonished glances, clearly impressed.

"Why didn't you call her for help earlier?" Vincent asked, his gaze shifting accusingly toward Niklaus.

Nik remained silent, though his expression tightened slightly, the weight of the unspoken question hanging between them.

Freya and Vincent stayed with Estrella, giving her space to focus on Camille.

"Do you think this will work?" Freya asked, her voice filled with concern.

"Yes," Estrella replied confidently. "Never doubt before you try. Doubt only undermines your efforts before you've even begun." Her words brought small smiles to their faces.

"We'll channel our energy through you to help," Vincent said, glancing at her swollen belly. "Just to be sure."

Estrella nodded, her eyes glowing red as she started the spell. The witches chanted around her, their voices blending in unison.

"This might be a bit painful," Estrella warned Camille, her fingers moving in intricate patterns above her head.

As the poison shifted within Camille's body, she cried out in agony.

"Estella..." Freya's concerned voice broke through, but Estrella remained focused.

She continued, drawing the poison toward the bite mark.

The skin around the bite blackened and reddened as the venom was drawn to the surface, contained by a magical barrier to prevent it from spreading.

When Estrella finally opened her eyes, Camille had lost consciousness from the pain.

Estrella moved to break the final seal on the poison, her fingers tracing the wound.

To her surprise, a red beam encircled the bite, and she felt the energy being absorbed into her own body.

"It's working!" Freya exclaimed, watching as the wound began to heal.

Vincent rushed to support Estrella as she swayed on her feet, his eyes widening as he glimpsed a disorienting vision.

"What was that?" he asked, shaking off the image. "But hey, you did it-outstanding work."

Freya smiled, equally impressed, but Estrella remained puzzled.
