Stolen

Chapter 27: Circular

Your POV

You were too tired to open your eyes, the moment you regained consciousness, instantly sleep called back to you. There was an overwhelming warmth wrapped around you and there was a comfortable fullness in your stomach. Making you recall all the times you ate too much and grew drowsy as a child.

There was an odd yet satisfying taste lingering on your lips and licking your lips there was a crusty dried liquid on them. And then you felt two sharp teeth at the from of your jaw. At that discovery you desperately tried to wake up battling sleep, finally you were eventually able groggily lift your eye lids.

Now accustomed to waking in different rooms you weren't panicked. And by now you knew the scent a decor of a Hunter Society HQ. So you knew you were safe. Especially when you shifted your gaze and saw Amy sat next to the bed, sat staring at the floor in a daydream.

"Amy?"

Your voice only came out as two croaked syllables, but still enough for her head to shoot up to you.

"(Y/N)! Thank goodness you're awake!" She hesitated to give you a hug but fearful of your condition stopped herself "how are you feeling?"

"Like I ate too much and now I feel drowsy other than that, right as rain."

Amy looked as though she didn't know what to say at that comment.

"What?"

"(Y/N) when we and the others made it to Shadow's mansion you were no where to be found. Until we looked in the garden and you both passed out. You on top of Shadow with a bloody mouth and he a heavy neck wound. That was 24 hours ago."

"Is he okay!?"

"Yes he is and already recovered but still unconscious. It'll take a lot more than that to kill him. But I'm sorry (Y/N) I know your worried and that you're probably still a little weak, but I need to ask where is Mephiles?"

"He's... He's gone."

That was right. Mephiles attacked, you transported him and yourself to the desolate zone, you killed him and he nearly killed you. Sent back by Maria it was then Shadow who saved you, by letting you drink his blood. And now Mephiles, Iblis, Solaris. All gone.

"(Y/N) what exactly happened?"

Sitting up you had no problem in telling the previous events.

"Mephiles, he attacked. And I cast a spell."

In simplistic terms you proceeded to explain the events of the desolate zone, how you nearly died and how you returned. And now trying to figure out for yourself that you were somehow here because Shadow let you drink his blood. But how exactly had it saved you?

"Then that would explain it" Amy mumbled hand to chin.

"Explain what?"

"It wasn't just blood loss which was Shadow's problem. He'd suffered from server fatigue and exhaustion. Along with that there was a Chaos Emerald near by. He must have been trying to Chaos Control to you. But of course not being a witch or wizard lacked the magic to get there. Causing severe strain on his body."
