My heart skipped a beat. My leaf tattoo enflamed with my element and covered my arm with green fire.
I knelt down to him, turned him over and healed his stomach and neck as quickly as I could. He'd lost a lot of blood in that event. I breathed calmly and realized that I could actually do something I haven't done outside of training.
You've only done that once in your life." Inner Demon commented as he heard me think it through. "But maybe it'll work."
I'm off the record. I could actually do that. I can actually use this at full power instead of restraining myself because they were watching. They always watched my readings. Katey must still be distracted with the news. I also needed to remember back to my training a decade ago.
Your unrestrained powers will fuel it! Do it now before you can't bring him back!
I flipped the couch back over and put my hand on his chest. The green fire surrounded him completely and lifted him up. I put him on the couch and sat next to his head. I moved his face away from me, exposing his neck. When I opened my mouth I felt my fangs extend.
I know biting often leads to loss of self control. My trainer called it a vampirism. He warned me that I am more susceptible to losing myself because of my element and drive to save people. Over exposure can change the person I'm trying to save.
I felt the bloodlust grow but I knew I could control it, like I've controlled myself countless times before with everything else I can do. My element gathered in my bloodstream and that was a different feeling. I watched as the green fire covered his body in a second wave of green fire as I held my hand on his chest.
It was heartbreaking to not feel the heartbeat I felt last time. I just hope someone is delaying him from moving on, like last time. But, as I focused on his neck, I really felt like I was testing my training with this. My one lesson…
Maybe this is why you aren't allowed to do this. I can tell that you are losing yourself. Let me do it he said as he took over without even letting me respond. I blinked and watched my vision darken. Don't hate me, okay? He made me bite right into his neck. I breathed in deeply then let it out slowly. I felt the tips of my claws dig into his chest a little bit. My element flowed through me and into his system.
He put me back in control as I watched his skin start to glow underneath the green flames as it moved through him. That should be good, Hawk. Let go. I heard him. But I couldn't lead myself to let go. I moved my other hand to his face and had to force myself away.
I sat up and breathed until I calmed down. I held my fingers to his neck and felt for a pulse in the mean time. My element replaces the blood he lost and should bring him back. I don't know how long he's been dead so my normal tactic for this wouldn't have worked.
His neck glowed and bite mark healed. All I could do now is wait for him to wake up as I sat on the floor with my hand on his neck waiting for his pulse to come back. It was a quiet, tense long three minutes.
He'll come back. He's strong. You said so yourself.
"This is different. It's more intense than before. Dark means to kill and keep him dead. And I'm not…" I mumbled into the empty and destroyed apartment.
Yes you are, Hawk. You are who you were four days ago. We aren't going to talk about it now, but it affects you a lot more than you think. And I only know that because I'm getting stronger. "I can tell," I laughed. "You haven't taken over like that before." He didn't respond and left me in the silence of the destroyed apartment. I looked around and saw red handprints on the wall that streaked across it. It had to be blood. The smell overwhelmed me again.
Blood was everywhere. The bloody indent in the wall makes me think that Mark may have been thrown into it and probably got dragged over here. Or thrown…
I felt a faint pulse and looked down at him. His breathing picked up and got stronger with each breath. His hand moved up to me and landed on my arm. He blinked and I saw the color return to his face. He looked up at me and smiled.
"Hey…" He winced as he moved and put his hand on his neck. "What happened?" He tried to sit up but I prevented him from doing so.
"I'm not sure. I just got here," I looked at the plate, "That showed me that Dark got out and killed you."
"I was dead?" His voice hit a higher pitch than normal. "How do you know?"
"When I got here, I couldn't sense your life force." I paused, "So I brought you back." He was unsure of how to respond and could only hold onto my arm. "Light had called for help and told me that the seal broke. But I got here after he left." He looked up at me and I looked back at him.
"Yeah it did." He replied and didn't look away from me, "It was only on there for three and a half days before I felt it burn like hell. I had lifted up my shirt to look at it and I saw it on my skin. His claws started breaking through my skin and I fell to the floor. I felt my powers come back but I couldn't do anything. It was too late. All I could do was lie here and let it happen."
He sounded depressed. I mean, I would be too, but still. "And now you're alive and recovering."
"What did you do?" He asked as he rubbed his neck. I guess he could feel it.
I looked to the side, "I injected you with my element. It'll replace your blood until your system recovers then it'll fade away." His powers came back quickly right as I said that. It returned in waves and then he sat up. That was a good sign of recovery.
