My Protector ✔

Chapter Ten

Chapter 10

The wood was hard beneath my bare feet. It was cool to the touch. Silence. That's all that presented itself to me. Pure silence. I didn't want to open my eyes afraid of what my eyes would look at. I took slow and steady steps as I felt the strange company of silence invites me in for a night of comfort. With each step there was no sound. With each breath, there was no smell. Soon the hardwood floor soon became nothing but a misty feeling. I felt the cool air breeze around me, like a delicate child being wrapped inside a big soft blanket of warmth.

As I continue to walk I felt soft grass beneath my feet. The little stubby pieces tickled the bottom of my foot as I slid across it. I stopped walking and just stood in the grass as I let my body become one with nature. As I stood there I felt a tingling sensation flow through my body, and cool thick liquid began running down my abdomen, but I ignored it and just stood there, eyes closed and ears open. I stood and listened to my surroundings and my body reacted to each thing differently. There was something strange going on but I really didn't care. I kind of like it somehow, like this was my destiny, like it was my calling.

I soon felt myself being plunged into the air, the wind wiping around me, my hair flying everywhere like a flag in a hurricane. But before I could enjoy the thrill of the sudden rush my eyes flew open, and I found myself in Jacobs's arms, outside, on the ground. I released a loud gasp as I tried to contain my breathing. We were in the woods near the old house. My clothes felt wet, and my body ached. Nothing made sense. Last I remember I was sound asleep in Mike's arms, then I wake up here.

"You were sleepwalking again." Jacob simply stated, answering the unspoken question.

I sat up and looked around at the tall dark trees and found comfort in them. Others would find it terrifying to be out in the woods when it's dark out, but after the day I've had, nothing scares me at all. Finally resting my eyes on Jacob I noticed he had a big bloodstain on the front of his shirt. My hand quickly flew to his chest as I lifted up his shirt, but there was no sign that he was injured or hurt.

"It's not my blood." He simply stated. I saw his eyes travel to my clothing and I looked down and seen I was covered in blood. I found a small tear in my shirt as blood continued to slowly pour from it. Yes I was cut, but I couldn't feel any pain, I just felt sore. I lifted my hand to cover the cut but nothing stopped the bleeding. Jay laid me back onto the grass and ripped my shirt off then took his off also. He ripped small pieces of my shirt and placed strips of it onto the wound, then gave me his shirt to cover my body with.

"Does it hurt?" He asked. I just shook my head and looked up to the sky. "Are you sure, that's a pretty bad cut you have." He continued to press. I simply shook my head and said nothing. "I'm taking you back to the house." He stated as he stood then picked me up bridal style. His wings shot from his back and we were in the air. As we flew back to the house I felt my body becoming weaker and weaker with each second that passed by. This has been the second time in twenty-four hours that my body has been drained of all energy.

"Stay with me Lil. You'll be just fine I promise." Jay spoke trying to cheer me up. But we both know if I don't get any help soon it's nearly the end for me, but I can't go out like this not while I just found out the truth of my brother and the life he lived. I still need to know what I'm about. The more I fought to stay alert the weaker my body felt. It seemed the weaker I got the wider the cut grew. Something was defiantly wrong here.
