Chapter 3:
It felt like someone has stabbed me in the ribs, almost hitting the heart. Just staring at my brother Mitch brought pain to me. His black hair that use to be across his forehead. Is now coated with dried blood, and also singed at his hair tips. His eyes, his wonderful bright green eyes, are no longer his own. They are now a dark grey, not a single sight of other color to them. His pale skin is now paler, but coated with grey and dried blood. His face was half burnt down to his flesh, and some bone. Making me wonder how he was still living, wait I know he is immortal!
I slowly walk up to the right side of mitch's bed, and sit down on the floor. I went to say something but no words came out. I was too shocked at how he looked. He was burned all over, so rotten/burned flesh was still clinging onto his body. Making the room smell like death, plus he slowly bleed onto the bed, having his sheets turn a yucky red.
A tear escaped from my eyes, that changed to an automatic blue. I was almost to the point of crying, until I felt a hand touch my shoulder. I look up and was met by Mitch's cold grey eyes, that still sprung to life. Tears were now collect in my eyes, as me and Mitch just sat like this, staring into each others eyes, almost as of we were talking.
How could anything or anyone bring harm to Mitch. He was always a nice guy, and would do anything for anyone, no matter the cost. I slowly place a hand on Mitch's cheek, avoiding the burnt side. My hand started to glow from under, a clear blue. I was trying to heal him, but when I thought it was working, his condition got worse and he tightened his eyes and almost screamed in agony.
"sorry" I managed to say through tears as I pulled away my hand from him. Mitch opened his mouth, but shut it quickly. It was too painful for him to speak, or even more. "I will help you mitch, I don't care the cost, I am not leaving you like this, mainly in the condition you are in" I said, tears rolling down my cheeks, and down onto the floor. Mitch looked at me and very slowly his trembling hand whipped away my tears. Then he looked at me again and shook his head gently.
'no more tears sis, be strong. I know you can help, but I don't know how much longer I can last' Mitch sent me through mind, his eyes still gentle but filled with pain.
"Mitch, once Mason gets back I promise you I will get eclipse lava to heal you" I said my voice cracking as I spoke.
Mitch's eyes went wide, staring at me like I was some weirdo. 'no! No! I will not allow you to go to the spirit eclipse and get its lava!' he practically screamed in my mind. I swear if he wasn't hurt he would have stood up and shook me to death.
"Mitch I have to, you know it's the only way to save you. You know that I'm the only one who could get up there in this family because I'm part demonic" I said in a quiet tone, trying not to yell at my poor brother.
'I know. I just...i just don't want you hurt. I know the spirit eclipse still effects you' he sent in a more quiet tone then before, plus he got relaxed.
I put a hand on mitchs cheek and sighed. "don't worry about me brother, I promise you I will be back all safe and sound, plus have you back to normal" I said calmly and gave him a smile to soothe him a bit.
Mitch slowly nodded then he looked at me about to send something to my mind. I shook my head as if telling him not to say another word. He was draining himself by doing so, and I don't want to come back to a dead brother. "just rest, and hang in there" I said and with that he nodded and closed his eyes.
I stayed there by his side, whispering things to him. Until I knew that he finally fell into a deep sleep. Which I made sure it was a peaceful dream and not a nightmare. Nightmares to us immortals were like real to us, and we could die from them if it was too severe. I smiled watching him for a bit, glad he wasn't feeling pain while he slept, well until he awakes again. I stood up and looked toward the door, hearing pounding of hoofs coming up the driveway, knowing it was Mason. I took a deep breath and walked out of mitch's room and went into the kitchen by the front door. Waiting for Mason to walk in, and tell me if Drain could help. Before I go out and save my own brother myself.
