UnTamed [Book 3]

Hello Stars

I do apologize for the terrible ending I left you with last chapter! But in the wise words of Ed Sheeran, "Everything will be okay in the end. If it's not okay, then it's not the end."

Chapter Quote:
"And if the moon and the stars could speak to you, my love, they'd narrate how much my heart aches for your gentle touch and how my soul misses its other half."

Chapter 37: Hello Stars

Hallie

When Bryn's hand fell limply to the ground, signaling she had truly passed away, Luke let out a sound Hallie never wanted to hear again. It was so full of anguish and hurt and despair...

He had his forehead braced against Bryn's, whispering to her to come back. But Hallie had seen Bryn's life aura fade to nothingness, and she knew Derek had too. Bryn had been Hallie's first true friend. To lose the daughter of Zeus made the daughter of Hades feel like she'd lost a part of herself. She wanted to cry. She wanted to cry so badly but the shock of it all prevented her from doing so.

"Brady, where is it?!" Bradley suddenly exclaimed through his tears.

Brady blinked. "Where is what?"

"The cure!"

"My room!"

It suddenly made sense to Hallie what they were talking about. She'd been so wrapped up and distraught about Bryn that she hadn't remembered they had the one chance to save Bryn, even from death. Brady scrambled up and went down into the ship.

"What did you three do?" Will Solace asked, sounding rather suspicious.

"You're going to do to her what I did to myself," Leo said. "Aren't you?"

"What are they talking about?" Silena demanded through her tears. Derek and Luke were still focused completely on Bryn so they were oblivious to the conversation. Hallie began wondering if Luke would even relinquish his tight hold on Bryn even if it was to try and save her life. He wasn't exactly in his right mind.

"When the twins and I found out about Bryn's curse, she requested we not search for a cure or a way out for her. But without her knowledge, we went on our own quests in search of one. We finally came across some information that while it was in all honesty a probably futile attempt, we were desperate. Turns out it wasn't futile, although it wasn't easy to get," Hallie explained.

"What is it though?"

"The Physician's Cure."

Silena's mouth fell open. "As in... bring you back from death cure?"

Hallie nodded. At that moment, Bradley and Brady came bounding up the stairs, waving a syringe in the air and yelling, "We got it! We got it!"

"Easy, don't drop it! It's a glass syringe you know," Hallie chastised. Kneeling down next to Bryn, she took her friend's arm in her hand. Bradley sat down next to her and brought the syringe up to his sister's arm. Luke jerked Bryn away from them.

"What are you doing?!" He hissed with such fury that everyone took a step away from him.

"Luke," Silena said hesitantly. "What Bradley's holding is called the Physician's Cure. It has the power to bring someone back from the dead."

He blinked, as if realizing how strong his reaction had been. "Oh. And you know it will work?"

"I can assure it does," Leo promised. "I've used it before."
