Wither Sickness Book 5: Legends Remembered

Plan gone Wrong

Sylvia pov:

My body was shaking swiftly, my heart was racing like crazy against my chest and my breaths were uneven.

I heard a sharp creak and immediately I attempted to move myself away from the door, it was mostly instincts at this point.

"Oh my God...," A voice said faintly.

Was I hearing correctly?

"S-Sylvia..."

I felt a hand squeezing my shoulder gently and I fearfully glanced up at the person.

My eyes widened swiftly, "S....S...Sylvie," I croak feebly.

"What has she done to you?" She asks gently as she quickly puts me on her back.

"A... lot.. o-of things," I mutter softly as she starts walking out of the room with me on her back.

"I swear I'll make her pay for this," Sylvie says, clearly enraged, "She's gone way too far."

"...Jesse..," I mutter quietly, wincing afterwards. Even, speaking hurts at this point.

"She's fine..," Sylvie says quietly then sighs heavily, "You need to rest... And I'll be honest Sylvia, I really hate seeing you like this."

Sylvie snapped her fingers and suddenly our surroundings changed.

Wait.. Since when did she have powers again...?

My mind felt foggy and my stomach churned.

"Sylvie, come on," Petra said in a hushed tone.

Hastily, Sylvie rushed over to Petra and into a separate room.

Swiftly, but silently Petra closed the door.

I saw Olivia and Axel their eyes were wide as they gazed at me wordlessly.

"Remarkable... I've never seen anything like those symbols," Ivor said in awe as he took something out of his garments, "Here... It's a healing potion."

He handed the potion to Sylvie and I admit I felt really uncomfortable with all their eyes on me.

"Thanks," She breathed as she set me down. My back was against the cold wall and once she moved me intense pain flooded my body.

I bit my bottom lip harshly to prevent me from screaming.

Tears however welled up in my eyes.

"...Don't... Move.. Me like t-that," I said faintly, as I winced.

"Sorry," Sylvie said swiftly as she took the cork off of the bottle.

A sweet aroma filled my nostrils and as Sylvie put the bottle to my lips, I drank slowly.

The substance was sweet in my mouth, but made my stomach churn more at the same time.

Within seconds, I felt better when I finished the whole thing.

"How are you feeling?" Jesse asked softly, her eyebrows knitted in concern.

"...Not much better...," I mutter. It was true, I felt slightly better, but nothing dramatic... Unfortunately.

My sister who was now kneeling in front of me had her gaze locked on the ground, her eyebrows lowered.

"Um.... Guys?"

Sylvie hastily stood up and turned to the screen, her back now facing me.

Axel gasped sharply, frantically shaking his head.
