Chapter 24

We walked inside a fancy restaurant, I think it was Italian. My head was pounding and I could barley talk. I grabbed Maxwell's hand and he looked down at me. "Relax Brair." I nodded. We walked to a table and there was a man. I tried to focus on who was at the table but the pain in my head was so distracting.

We where sat in a circular booth and Maxwell and Gavin sat by the man's sides. Me and Angelica sat on the end. Suddenly the man spoke up, "Brair, I'm so happy your boyfriend found me." "What." I said grabbing my head. "Brair what's wrong?" Maxwell said grabbing my hand. At this point it was getting hard to breathe, I don't understand why. "Max-maxwell I-I Can't b-breathe." "Oh no, I was afraid this would happen." I heard the man say. I still don't know who he is.

I felt breathless and light headed. I got out of the booth and laid down on the ground. Maxwell practically leaped from the booth down next to me and Gavin scooped up Angelica. Maxwell took my hand in his and placed his other on my head. "Someone call an ambulance." I heard Maxwell say. Gavin pulled out his phone and I felt my eyelids closing. All I could hear was Maxwell shouting at me. It was like my breath just ran out and my headache got too bad. I just passed out, atleast I think I did.

(Maxwell's POV)

Brair closed her eyes shut and I felt her breathing slow down. Gavin had an operator on the phone and Brair's Uncle was just sitting there calmly. Angelica looked scared out of her mind and the people in the restaurant ethier looked at us worried, scared, or angry.

"Why aren't you worried?" I shouted at her uncle, I think his name was Peter. "I was worried! Why do you think I wanted to come here tonight?" "Why where you worried? Did you know this was gonna happen?!" "Calm down, and yes I did think it was gonna happen. It's Brair's destiny." "What do you mean?!" "Oh my god bite her neck. Is this really that hard for you to understand!" "What..." "Nevermind, looks like the ambulance is already here." I let go of Brair's hand while they lifted her on a stretcher. "I'm going with them, Gavin meet us there." He nodded his head.

We where now in the back of an ambulance. I didn't think anything like this would happen tonight. I couldn't tell if Brair's breathing had stopped at the restaurant, but now they where giving her CPR. I put my head in my hands. I just shut my eyes and the rest of the ambulance ride was a blur.

We got to the hospital and I followed them for as long as I could. I waited in the waiting room and paced around. Gavin, Angelica, and Peter where there. "What happened Maxwell?" I heard Gavin ask. "Gavin I don't know okay." "You should've bit her neck." I heard Peter chime in. "Peter ehat the hell do you meam!?" "Brair needed you to bite her neck." He stated calmly. "You keep saying that, but you give no context behind it!" "Vampires always so clueless." "What!?" I was practically shouting at him.

"Calm down let me explain." "Fine, you have 2 minutes before I rip your head off." "Brair can't fulfill her destiny in witchcraft she just can't. She is too damaged, and knowing that she's been so much more than a human her whole life will literally crush her. What you just saw back there was Brair's power taking over her. That's why her dad left the greater his power became the more prominent Brair's would become. The only way to stop this is for her to become something else..." "A vampire" I finished his sentence. "Yes! Exactly. The only way to become a vampire..." "is to be bit by one." "Right!" I groaned and hit my fist agianst the wall. "Take a deep breath, and sit down Maxwell." I heard Gavin say. "Dad is Auntie Brair gonna be okay?" I heard Angelica pipe up. "Yeah She's gonna be okay, right Maxwell?" I heard Gavin questioning me.

Truth was I didn't know. I didn't wanna bite her. It's dangerous, and I can't lose her. Then agian if I don't I will lose her. I angrily sat down in a seat and put my head in my hands. "Gavin I don't know." He sighed and Peter chimed in. "Yes you do, you know exactly what you have to do." "Shut up will you! This isn't an easy decision. You aren't the one having to-" "Um am I interrupting something?" An unknown voiced cut me off. I turned around to be greeted by a doctor. "No, nothing at all." I said casually. "Well Im just here to inform you about Brair's condition." "Yes continue. What's wrong?" "Well thats the thing all her stats are normal but her brain activity is really over active. I've never seen anything like this." "Is she awake?" "No, but she is breathing... with help." "She's on life support?!" I frantically questioned. "Well yes and no. When we take the oxygen tube out she doesn't breath normally. It's better for right now if she has it, just until she can breath regularly." "Okay, well um can I um go see her?" "Are you immediate family?" "Closest thing she has to it." "And what do you mean, what is your relation with Brair?" "Boyfriend." I stated coldly. "And the others here?" Peter smiled. "Well actually doctor I am Brair's uncle and this gentleman right here is Gavin, he is Maxwell's friend." "So you are her blood relation?" "Indeed." "Well then I am sorry to inform you, but for the first 24 hours I am not othorized to let anyone, but immediate family in. Meaning you and you have to stay." I huffed and sat back down. "Sir follow me." Peter got up to follow the doctor and he whispered in my ear before leaving. "Think about your options, you have 24 hours." I rolled my eyes and looked over at Gavin. He put his hands up "I'm just the support system." "No help you are I swear." And with that being said all I was left with was my thoughts. I needed to make a decision bite her and possibly lose her? Don't bite her and lose her?
