The Dark Odyssey {Unedited}

Part 1: Sage // Chapter Thirteen [Unedited]

Fire, there was only fire, it surrounded me and was starting to close in around me, I wasn't scared though the feeling of it near my skin felt good, I felt safe. Then there was a scream.I was startled awake, I sat up on my bed, I looked around the room, it was my room. Tony was sleeping in the corner of the room, in a chair that didn't used to be there. "Tony?" I said. He woke up and rubbed his eyes, he looked over at me and snapped forward to my side.

"Your awake?" He said with amazement in his voice.

"What happened?" I asked him.

"Well once we got you back here, you passed out. Fi, came up here and did here best to keep you alive, once you were stable, she warned us that there was a chance that you were brain dead. She patched you up and said that we wouldn't know unless you relapsed or woke up." He said.

"How long have I been asleep?" I asked him.

"Four days." He said, I put my hands on my face. "Did you know that you had a rare blood type?" He asked me. I thought about everything I have learned about my blood since the curse happened.

"Yeah I did, where is Max?" I asked. Sorrow fell on his face.

"He was right, that was a suicide mission." Tony said.

"Max is dead?" I asked.

"No, just captured." Alex's voice came from the doorway, where he was standing. "But, he will be tomorrow, if we don't do something." He added.

"Khan ordered a no go on a rescue mission." Tony mentioned.

"That shouldn't stop us." Alex yelled at him. "Everyone knows that Khan hates Max." Alex added.

"That doesn't mean we should disobey him." Tony countered.

"Maybe it should." I said and they both looked at me. "Go get Zac," I told Alex, Alex walked out of the room, I turned to Tony. "Thank you so much for helping me, and I know that you are a very loyal person, so Tony I am going to ask you to leave for a little bit. Because what I am about to do is something that goes against your very being." I told him. He got up and started to walk out.

"You know that world doesn't revolve around one person." He stated.

"Yeah I do. It revolves around family, and family doesn't get left behind." I responded, he smiled at me and left the room. Alex and Zac, walked back into the room.

"So we have a rescue to plan." I said.We spent an hour planning the rescue, during that time, I also checked all of my bandages and tried to stand up, which ended up with Alex and Zac yelling at me, which seems to be the only thing that they can agree on. At which point I told them to screw off and stood up anyways. It felt weird and hurt pretty bad, but I kept getting up and trying to walk around the room, I grabbed some different clothes out of the closet. They left the room while I got dressed. I threw on the jacket that the driver had let me borrow because my other one was covered in blood.

Before I left the room, I stood staring at the mirror over the dresser, my hair was a mess, my skin was oily, but I didn't have anytime to care about that. On the dresser were bandages with my blood on them, After everything I have heard about my blood, I had to know if any of it was true. The bandages already smelled like alcohol so they would lite anyways. There was a pair of pointed scissors on my nightstand, probably used to cut bandages, I opened to scissors and placed the edge on my fingertip. I pressed down and pulled across my finger, I winced. I then took the blood placed it on a non soaked bandage, I wrapped my finger and took a match to the blood, it lit up in the dark blue fire, it didn't burn anything but the blood, I was so confused. I took a plan piece of gauze and lit it on fire, it was a normal, orange and yellow fire and incinerated the gauze. I moved the box of matches into my pocket, and I tried to put of the dark blue fire that was still going, and once it was out the gauze faded into ash.

I walked out of the room and down the stairs, to where Alex and Zac were standing. Alex handed me a gun. "Just in case." He said. I made sure the safety was on and shoved it into my pants, I also grabbed a hunting knife and put it in my boot. We walked out the door and over to my truck.

"Let's go save the idiot." I said as we climbed into the truck.
