Primal Inheritance: Freedom [COMPLETED]

Chapter 26: Doctor

Allen

We walked outside the house and closed the door, leaving Danielle's family in there. I don't think we could help them until we find the wizards involved, so I hoped this Shaye guy would have some answers.

"Where do you think he is?" asked Marissa.
Jamie's ears wiggled a bit, and it was hard to notice because he was human. "Your senses have dulled." He told her. "The mage is on the side of the house, and he sounds sick."

We walked over to the side and saw a man on his hands and knees. He was choking and gagging constantly. It started to make me feel sick.

"Man, are you okay?" I asked. As soon as he heard my voice he rolled over and sighed in relief. "Ohhh, thank God." He laid flat on his back and looked up at the sky, breathless.

I offered my hand to him, which he stared at.
"I need a minute." He told me. So I waited.
Marissa kicked say the dirt and Jamie observed him closely.

A couple seconds later, he dragged himself to his feet, not accepting the help I offered him.
He dusted himself off, which was pointless, because he had spots of blood all over him and his clothes were torn.

"You look like you tried to fight a glad window and lost." We all looked back to see who had spoken. It was Donovan, and for some reason, Sam was on his back.
"I see you finally woke up," said Jamie. "Did you have a nice nap?"

"Screw you." He gave Jamie a hard shove, and Jamie bumped into the wall of the house.
Despite this retaliation, it seemed as if he had completely calmed down after the fight. I pondered what would have happened if I had said that, and every scenario ended up bar for me, so I kept my mouth shut.

"Who's gonna tell me about this guy?" he said, disrespectfully pointing directly in Shaye's face.
Jamie moved Donovan's​ arm down, though it didn't seem to bother Shaye. He was busy eyeballing us creepily, and looking in all directions. "He's paranoid."  Jamie said to me in my mind. "The vampires must be out to kill him."

"My name... Is Shaye." he said, looking at all of us nervously. "I... I uh, kinda don't know where to start."

"Start with telling us why you're out here, vomiting next to someone else's home." I demanded.

"Right... Well, as you know, the vampires are tracking your every move. What you don't know is that they've been using mages to do it."
His eyes darted between us, trying to see if we were all listening.
"Mages like me, what we practice, is different from most magic. Including Samantha's."
He motioned towards Samantha, and then slowly moved his hand to me.

"We've been tracking you, and that's all I can really say on that subject. But now, after I tried to help Danielle escape, they want me dead too."

"You tried to save Danielle?" I asked, this time genuinely interested.
"They had her in some type of lab, and the only reason they captured her was because she was becoming like you three." He said, looking at Marissa, Donovan, and Jamie.

"I knew it!" exclaimed Jamie, looking angry. "We made her into a monster."
"No, no you didn't. She was just starting to manifest the strength and speed of a werewolf before they caught her. They are trying to make her a weapon against you, and they planned to do the same with Allen."

Marissa walked up towards me. "See? This is why we need you. Together, we are powerful enough to stand a chance against them. There's 6 ancient blooded vampires. Four of them don't exist anymore. It's just Axel and the leader of the vampires, Avery. After that, we can reclaim the sky."
