Chapter : On Stake

Hailey Ashtoreth's pov

"It's not that I can't heal him .." Aries said as he looks at me.

" ... It's just that he declined it." Pisces then continued.

"But .. w-why?" I mutter as I look at them.

Why won't he accept it?

"With that ... we are not sure ourselves." Virgo said as he continue to look outside.

"But one thing is for sure it's because of Artemis." Gemini then stated.

"No that can't be, she won't." I said as I try to calm myself.

First it was Hades .. Now Artemis-

"I'm not saying that it's Artemis." Gemini said as he looks at everyone.

"So your saying it's Leo?" Scorpion then look at Gemini, completely angered.

"How can you even be so sure?!" Saggi said as he looks at Gemini.

"He's not the only one, whose sure." Libra said.

Looking around, Saggi must have thought that everyone here confirmed that Leo.

Did not want to get healed, for he must be having something that he won't even exchange for even his recovery.

That he'll rather stay having his life in danger than having it to live long.

"So everyone has already thought of it .. but why? .... That idiot." Saggi mutter as he look down.

W-Why Leo?

Why are you doing this?

As if I heard something wrong.

I just continued to stare straight.

As tears slowly began to fall down.

I have been the continuously thinking ..

Why won't he want to live or to get healed?

Is it because of me? Is it really my fault?

"Don't think too much, he'll be fine. Cap whispered on me.

Which made me look at him.

"I made up my mind ... " Pisces then said, that caught everyone's attention.

"One of us must enter his mind." Pisces continued.

"No we cant! Entering his mind without him wanting to, could cost one's life to die in his stead." Aquarius said as he looks at Pisces.

"But that is the only way, Aquarius. It'll be always a matter of life and death." Pisces said as he looks at Aquarius stoically.

"I can't believe that I'll say this, but Pisces is right." Taurus said as he joins in the conversation.

"To think of it Pisces has always deal with his thinking without someone's life on stake. This is the first time he has ever had to say this as a solution." Libra said as he put down the tea that he was drinking as if he's getting serious already.

"So you mean ... this is the only solution?" Aries asked.

"I'm afraid .. it is." Pisces then answered.

"That can't be." Aries said as he looks at Pisces.

"You should have known it already Aries. Once someone declines a healing magic, this will happen-" Cutting Pisces off, I gave my word to everyone.

"I'll be the one to do this mind entering." I said as I brush my tears off.

I need to be strong.

It was always me.

The one who needs protections.

The one who needs to be saved.

The one who's too weak to fight.

Now it should be me.

The one who will protect everyone.

My life is just a single piece ..

Of everyone's life here.

They're much more important ..

Than I am.

"Hailey you can't-" Cap was saying something when I cut him off on his words.

"I can .. just believe in me, I will make it out alive." I said to him, to them.

"No she can't." Cap said as he look around.

Just to find all of them not looking at him.

Just to find them all completely letting the girl they first ever protected to be in danger, to be in a life and death matter.

"I can't think of anyone who's much more acceptable to do this than Hailey." Pisces said as he looks at me.

"I know .. since even all of us here are living together, we never cared for each other." Gemini said as he looks around.

"Yeah, to think about it. This is the first time we are working together so hard that we have one thing in mind." Aries said as he smiled at everyone.

"One thing to remember Hailey, you have to make it out alive with Leo." Pisces said as he looks at me.

Not trusting my voice I just nod at him.
