I winced as the dark tendril sucked Zion and Scarlet into the darkness. You could hear the moaning and groaning of the souls as they devoured them. I ran to Vanessa as she collapsed.
"What's wrong?"
Vanessa gasped "I should have used a different spell."
"Why do you think that?"
"It reminded me of an immensely unpleasant memory. "
" Like? " I prodded
"Death," Vanessa answered in a somber tone.
"Wait, you actually remember dying?"
" Vividly. Now that I think about it, I had about a dream about me dying. The dark tendrils consuming even in its path, trying to drag me into an eternal sleep and the fire that licked over my entire body until I was writhing in agony."
"Fire? What fire?"
"Not a physical fire. The scorching sensation that flowed through my veins as the venom took it course."
"Christ. I'm so so sorry that you had to go through something like that." I said wrapping my arms firmly around Vanessa.
Vanessa suddenly stood up and I copied her.
She turned to me and raised an eyebrow.
"Shouldn't you be fighting?"
I shrugged. "The majority of them are either dead already or ran away."
"Seriously? so much for loyalty."
I smirked when she donned a new look on her face, one that said that she wasn't backing down.
"What do you have up your sleeve?" I asked.
Vanessa gave me a crooked smile.
"Plenty to keep you entertained, brother. I think I'll go assist Dad with Ailes."
