Primal Inheritance: Freedom [COMPLETED]

Chapter 38: New Arrivals

Allen

Everyone got out the car and ran towards the fire. Marissa and Jamie ran to Isaac, Shaye ran to Jessica, Donovan ran to Axel and I... don't know why I ran. I guess I wanted to see the spectacle.

Their car was upside down, slightly blown to pieces, and still on fire. The other girl was still inside, most likely dead. There was no question as to whether or not Jessica was alive though. The ground was streaked with blood as well as gasoline and flames. The smoke clouded my eyesight, but I could still tell  Shaye wasn't standing over a body.

Donovan was just staring at Axel's dead body, expressionless, until Jamie called both of us over.

"Hey, both of you, come help me!" Jamie was pulling Isaac's body away from the wreckage while Marissa was rummaging through Isaac's pockets. What was she looking for?

I walked over before Donovan and grabbed Isaac's legs. Donovan stopped abruptly.

"What did you need both of us for?" He asked.

"Uh, I need you to mesmerize the bystanders. They can't see our remember this." Jamie told him.

"I'll handle that," Shaye called from where Jessica last stood. Without turning around, he flicked his hand in our direction and purple wave of light flew through us. I grasped at my chest, trying to feel the difference when Donovan tapped my shoulder.

"Behind you, idiot."

I turned and saw that all of the normal people were frozen. A purple light covered their eyes and they stood perfectly still. The only exception was the car the man that lit Jessica's cigarette.  His car had been wrecked in disaster, and he too, had been killed. I didn't even notice until I saw the same purple wave of light encasing the man. His burns and scars were disappearing, and his car was returning back to his previous state. When the magic was finished, the man walked in a slow, sleep like state to the car, got inside, and put this head down at the wheel.

"Wow." I murmured. "If you can save him, why not save everyone?"

Shaye gave me an exasperated look. "These are your enemies. They were hunting you. Why would you want them alive?"

I gotta admit, I felt dumb when I realized it.
"I kinda forgot what happened, because Isaac got hurt too and-"  I turned around, and saw Isaac standing upright, looking completely fine besides his ruined clothes.

"What the hell?" I asked.

"It was one of these," He slipped his hand into his pocket and brought out one of the vials Kim had given him before we left.

"It completely healed me."

"That's amazing man. Were you saving those in case one of us got hurt?"

He looked at me and shook his head.

"No. There's something special in these, specifically made for me. Each dose is different and experimental. I wouldn't share these with any of you. I don't know the consequences."

I wondered what it could've been, but Donovan must have known, because he had a little smirk on his face.

"We need to stop standing around, this is the last straw." Shaye stomped over towards us, eyes glowing, blood on his hands, looking furious.
