Saving Windfall (MXM)

Chapter Twenty-seven: A Flaming Wolf and A Portal

~Daxera's POV~

"So what happened? Is she ok?" Accalia asks worriedly.

"Yeah, Jess is fine," I confirm, "Irelia had me take care of the spell that was attacking Jess's mind." Accalia smiles.

"That's good, I don't know her well, but I hope to eventually," she says. I nod.

"So are you able to stop other spells like that?" Orion says intrigued.

"No, not necessarily. The spell attacking her was was crude and poorly created, says Irelia, though it was actually kinda tough for me. I suppose they who created wasn't really expecting us to meet up with Witches considering our standing with most. I doubt they even know I'm a Witch," I assume.

"You're probably right. We didn't leave anyone standing when we got attacked outside of Vegas," Orion confirms.

"True," Russell agrees.

"Unless I just gave it away undoing the spell?"

Everyone is quiet, then Russell yawns.

"There isn't much we can do about that now. I'm tired and I'm going to head to bed."

"I will join you," I say with a yawn, feeling the need to cuddle. We say good night to every one then head to our room.

"Nice job today, Dax," Russell says as he gives me a kiss. "I love you."

"Thanks, I love you," I respond kissing him back. "Nighty night," I say.

"Good night."

We undress, lay down, intertwine our bodies, then quickly drift off into a comfy sleep.

I wake up slowly to Russell sitting in a chair, in the corner of the room while taking on his phone. I roll over onto my back and rub my eyes as he talks.

"Its gong well, yes. Dax is learning how to use his Magic while we wait for the Witches to make the portal," he says to who ever is on the other end. He waits for a response before he speaks again.

"It should be done sometime today, then the Witches will help stop the virus." He waits for a response again. "No, I think talk of that should be done in person, not over the phone." I look at him confused.

'Who's that?' I ask curiously through the link.

'It's Emma, I called to check on how things are going there and to let her know what's going on,' he responds.

"Before I forget, I'm not sure where the portal will show up but when it does, I'll be coming through first. Make sure everyone stays away from it," he says. "When I do come through, I will talk to the pack, letting them know its to be protected since there are no wards on it."

I sit up then look at the clock on the night stand next to the bed which says: 10:00 AM. Thinking of what happened yesterday, I decide to check up on Charlie and Jess.

'Hey Char, hows Jess doing today?' I ask.

'She's alright, though,' he says slowly, 'she wants to go for a run.'

'I will see if I can make that happen,' I say looking at Russell as he hangs up the phone.

"Jess would like to go for a run, is that ok?" I ask him sweetly. He rolls his eyes at me then nods.
