I didn't know how long I was curled up in a ball for, but it was long enough for the adrenaline to wear off. That resulted in the pain from my badly injured hand hitting me. Tears ran down my cheeks as I silently cried due to the immense pain I was feeling.

What should I do?

What can I do?

I was beginning to panic, it felt like I was getting swallowed up.
Without myself noticing, my aura grew and darkened in colour. It had gone into defense mode and the area it was protecting was big.

Henry wiped the sweat forming on his forehead, his fists covered in a gold like light. His abilities was strengthening his punches and kicks which was why he was the minister and major general.

His whole body turned cold and he suddenly felt fearful. He turned his head to the direction of the aura and cursed under his breath. "Zachery we need to find Lee!" Henry shouted towards the younger male. "That's her!?" Zachery had also felt the fear inducing aura.

"That's Beatrice's look-alike?" The red head male known as Joseph let the unconscious man fall from his grip as his eyes focused in the direction of the aura. "She must be in danger!" Henry cursed before running in the direction where the auras defense increased.

As he got closer and closer he could feel the incredibly hot temperature. The heat thrashed against his skin but he desperately tried to ignore the pain. "Lee!" Henry shouted struggling to get anymore closer to the center of the aura.

As he got closer he noticed all the unconscious bodies. He wasn't surprised since her aura was more powerful. "She must be hurt." Henry looked back in surprise and found Zachery. The blonde grinned and saluted, "Hey there."

"Aren't you hurt?" Henry raised a brow making the younger male scoff. "We aren't that weak." Another voice chimed in as he stepped beside Zachery. "You too Joseph." The red haired nodded and the three of them continued towards the strongest part of the aura.

"Dang I can't do it." Zachery collapsed onto his knees. His skin was getting slashed and he could feel his energy was fading. "Go back. I'll try go to her." Henry patted the males arm and tried to walk forward but he was sent flying back.

The whole aura retracted and grew in front of the three males. "We're close." Joseph stated watching the aura, as black as the night sky, grow into a beast like form. "It's taking a form." Henry coughed out as he stood up. "She must be really injured if her aura is reacting like that."

Joseph hissed and stepped back when he felt the increasing heat radiate off the aura. "It'll be impossible to get through." Zachery whined leaning against a wall.
"Who said it was impossible?"

I had passed out from the pain but I was still aware of my surroundings. I could tell what was going on around me but I had thought it was just my imagination.

I had been dreaming that I was looking at Henry, the red haired male and Zachery through dirty lenses. I couldn't hear or talk to them, I could just see them.

I sat up with a gasp, my breathing heavy. "You are definitely not Beatrice." I was picked up in the arms of Maddox making me grow paler than I already was. "Your aura was definitely difficult to get through." Louna appeared in front of us, cold blue eyes piercing into my hazel eyes.

Oh dear...
