Finding The Keys

Chapter 17 (*)

*Dem*

I feel myself getting pulled, I can not tell to where but it's somewhere, away from the underworld and towards the girl I feel in love with all those years go. It had already been three years, three years senice my life was changed. Where Maki allowed the release of my human form, and when I fell in love with her. Soon I fine myself gasping for air, my once again alive pulse beating wildly.
I was alive, everything stung, like I just touched an electric fence thinking it was off.
But that did not matter now I was alive. Heart beating rapidly in my chest, air pushing against my lungs.

*Guti*

The pain was just bearly bearable, it felt like my magic was being ripped from my body. But before I know it a boy about our age, appears out of nowhere, and flops down next to us, his black hair untidy, his clothes tattered and tore. His chest moving rapidly as renewed breaths moved threw his lungs.

"Welcome back Dem" Icicle says as I flop back against a chair, all my limbs burned with agony. I couldn't get myself to move.
Thomas saw my pain, "Icicle, chill blast, Guti needs it" Icicle nods, soon taking both of my wrists in her hands, she sends a chilling blast of cold threw me cooling my burning limbs.
"Thank you," I whisper breathlessly, relaxing as the cold moves threw slowly cooling my burning mucles and numbing the pain.
"You are welcome," Icicle says before looking back at Demterius who was now gathering his surroundings and trying to sit up.

"What?," He coughed out before reconsizing Thomas and Icicle's faces. "Thomas? Icicle?"

"Hey we can catch up later, but right now we have a problem" Thomas says.

Demterius eyes widen, "Where's Maki? Is she okay?" He, dispite all odds, had learned about Maki's poor condition.

"She right behind you just be gental, and move slowly" Icicle says calmly, as she helps Demterius to his feet. He wobbles on his legs before being able to slowly turn around. His eyes widened when he saw Maki's condition, she was pale, and her eyes hadn't really opened in a few days. She was dieing and all of us knew it. Thomas and Oliver help Demterius walk over to her, and Li helping move Maki so her head could be carefully laid in his lap, Icicle checked on me again making sure I was okay after all that. Where the paper once sat on the floor was now just an inky black stain in the rough shape of a circle.
Icicle looked at the circle, "I have a nice rug to put over that"
Demterius, who had now sat down and had Maki's head in his lap, reached out with a shakey hand and brushes hair out of Maki's eyes and behind her right ear.

"Maki" he whispers his voice shakey as he sees the girl he fell in love with in such bad condition. "Maki please wake up, we need you here"

Sundenly he glows, he doesn't realize he is, but he is. He closes his eyes and hugs Maki, bending over so he won't move her too much. Two tears drip from his face on to hers. The tears glow as they hit her cheeks.
Oliver takes notes quickly. Before watching what happened next, the places where Demterius's tears had hit Maki's face, her face started to turn back to it's normal color.
We all stared in awe as we watched Maki's skin turn back to it's normal color. Then her big, shiny, emerald green eyes slowly opened, meeting Demterius's honey brown ones, with there slightly square shaped pupils.

"Dem?..." She whispered quitely, her eyes fighting to stay open.
"Yeah, I won't leave you again," he says holding Maki closer to him, "but now you need rest"
"Promise?" she whispered.
"Promise." Dem said and with that she nodded and her eyes drifted shut again, but this time it was because she could not keep them open, this time it was because she was surrounded by people she knew and loved, she could finally rest.
