Fighting for the Lost (Sebastian's Daughter Book 4) (COMPLETE)

Chapter 29

(I am SOOOO sorry that this took so long!! There's a SUPER long Author's Note at the end trying to explain everything, but don't worry about that until you get there! Enjoy the chapter!)

Selena's POV:

As the hours passed, I sat listening to the world outside. I couldn't make out much, but I could hear whatever Serena said or thought, which gave me enough information to put together that it I didn't wake up soon, I never would.

After Dad left the room, I listened to Alex and Serena as they discussed simple things, trying to keep themselves distracted from the truth, from what was happening right in front of them. As they talked, I could almost make out everything Alex said. Whether it was because he was my brother, or I was just getting better at focusing on voices, I wasn't sure.

Knowing I was of no help to any of them, I closed my eyes and sighed. I tuned out Alex and Serena, and tried my best to call out for Angelina. I wasn't going to get any stronger, by the looks of it. If I wasn't able to reach her now, than I never would.

Angelina! I called out. Angelina, I need you! Please, hear me!

The voice that answered my desperate pleas was faint, but unmistakably the angel I had wanted to hear.

Angelina! Thank goodness!

"What is the matter, child? Tell me everything. Start from the beginning."

And so I told her.

Third Person POV:

"Serena!"

Serena jumped when she heard Selena scream. She and Alex had fallen into a comfortable silence, and the loud voice in her head frightened her, and Alex gave her a questioning look.

Closing her eyes, Serena acknowledged her other half. Selena? What's wrong? Did something happen?

"I-"

Selena?

When she didn't get an answer, Serena opened her eyes and looked at Alex, her alarm clear on her face.

"I have to go check on Selena."

Alex nodded. "Alright. I'll watch over you."

Serena thanked him, then lay herself down on the bed and went inside of her mind to find her other half.

As Alex gazed at his sister's motionless body, all he could do was sigh.

This was not what he signed up for when he decided to speak with the helpless victims of scientists and hunter in that hotel that night. While he didn't regret getting the opportunity to meet his sister and father, he'd had no idea things would get this bad.

He wanted nothing more than to help Selena get better and stay safe. He knew he was meant to protect her, and wondered if she would even still be alive if he hadn't decided to help that fateful night.

He immediately shook the thought from his head. He didn't want to think about the possibility that Selena could've died without him. He didn't want to imagine anything bad happening to his sister. He was going to make sure she got better; he was going to help her defeat the hunter and scientists once and for all.

The door creaked open, stirring Alex from his thoughts. He looked up to see Sebastian entering the room, followed shortly by Samantha and Finny.

"What happened?" Sebastian asked Alex. The others, after hearing Sebastian's words and realizing Serena wasn't just sleeping, quickly gained expressions of worry and fear.
