Take The Heart I Never Wanted to Give

Charlie ran as fast as her legs could carry her to the medical wing. Hopefully Kevin was still there so she wouldn't have to waste time looking for him. Finally reaching the medical wing, she shoved the doors open with a little too much force, frantically looking for Kevin. She quickly spotted him with Ellen—their head nurse and doctor—along with Adonis, Crevan, and Valerie who were helping them gather medical supplies.

"Kevin!" Charlie shouted, running towards the younger omega. Kevin looked up in surprise along with the others.

"Charlie? What—"

"No time!" She hissed, grabbing his wrist and dragging him out of the medical wing.

Adonis, Crevan, and Valerie shared equal looks of concern, each appearing to unanimously decide to follow the two.

Kevin grunted and dug his heels in the carpet to keep himself from being dragged further. "Charlie, what the hell?! What's going on?"

Charlie let out a frustrated sigh and tried to grab Kevin's wrist again. "We don't have time Kevin just come on!"

"Charlie!" Kevin snapped, his voice unusually loud and sharp, "Tell me what the hell is going on."

Charlie sighed loudly and took a calming breath before speaking to Kevin and the others. "We need to get to the forest now. Dean's situation just got a thousand times more worse."

"That's not very specific, Charlie, what do you mean?" Kevin said, agitation beginning to show in his own tone.

Charlie let out another frustrated sigh and explained further, "John is giving it 20 minutes before he sends out a search party. Naomi asked what happens if they found him and no one had claimed him by the time they found him. John promised that if it were to come to that Michael would get him and now she's planning to rig the whole thing by bribing two of John's guards into going out and finding him early. To make matters worse she's planning on overthrowing John and taking over the whole kingdom."

"Jesus." Kevin muttered.

"Oh my God." Crevan and Adonis whisper in twin horrified voices.

"When is she planning to take over?" Valerie asked.

"Tomorrow. She said some of her guards are coming here tomorrow to help with the takeover. I just don't know what time tomorrow it'll be."

Valerie nodded, a pensive look on her face, "If they're coming tomorrow then they won't show up till night fall. We have till then."

"First we need to get to the forest." Kevin said turning towards Charlie. "Do you know which entrance the two guards are taking?"

"Side entrance on the east. If we run we can make it there before they do"

"What do you need us to do?" Valerie asked, Crevan and Adonis nodding behind her.

"Which one of you knows medical equipment pretty well?" Charlie asked.

"Me," Adonis said, "My father was a doctor. I picked up a few things as a kid."

"Good. You stay here and help Ellen." Adonis nodded and rushed back into the medical wing, "You two," Charlie said pointing at Crevan and Valerie, "Come with us. Those guards are gonna put up a fight and me and Kevin won't be able to stop them on our own."

"Got it." They both said.

"Come on." Kevin urged, already running towards the doors that led to the forest, "We don't have much time."

The other three omegas nodded in unison taking off after Kevin in a sprint for the doors.
