A/N- Just to let everyone know, the story is ending this week. Friday to be exact. So yeah, enjoy the chapter 'cause we're close to the end.
From out of Nowhere Chapter 10
Maya POV
I helped Omar up and asked, "What do you mean you can't feel your legs?"
"I can't move or feel anything below my kneecaps." He looked like he was scared out of his wits.
"That probably means the drug is starting to take effect." Ari said being the logical one in this situation. "We should get to your dad's office. I Googled the location." He whistled to call a cab and one stopped right in front of us. We got in and the driver started speaking in a language I couldn't understand.
"Anything Omar?"
"Yeah, I got it." He said in a strained voice. He started speaking the language and the cab started moving. "I think that was Dutch." He said to us. I moved closer to him and lifted up his leg.
"So you can't feel this?"
"Not one bit." This was bad. I let Omar stretch out over our side of the cab which put his head on my lap. "So I guess the shoe's on the other foot now." He said trying to lighten up the mood.
"Yeah, so I guess it's my turn to say something sweet about you like you did on the train."
"You heard that?"
"She's a notoriously light sleeper." Holden explained.
"Omar, I think you are a really nice guy, a lot nicer than most of the guys I know. I love it when you try to make me smile and that fact that you know so much about me even though we only met a few days ago." Then I got up close to his ear and whispered, "And you're a good kisser too." He blushed a bit which made me chuckle.
Omar POV
I can't believe she actually said that to me. It made me want to kiss her right then but the cab stopped. Maya helped me get out first and her and Ari helped support my weight while Holden hovered around us. I looked ahead at a small building.
"Are you sure this is it? It's kinda small for a doctor's office."
"Maybe it's a private practice." Maya suggested.
"Maybe." We walked in and saw a man in a lab coat holding a clipboard. Everyone but me shivered slightly.
"You guys cold?"
"Bad memories dude." Ari said.
"Oh." About that time the man turned around. When he did he dropped the clipboard.
"Omar?"
Holden POV
So this was Omar's dad? Interesting. He had a slight tan and was about two inches taller than Maya. Other than that he looked like an older version of Omar.
"Yeah dad, it's me." He ran over to us and gave him a huge hug.
"I thought I had lost you forever but now you're the one who found me." A few tears ran down his face. He released him from the hug and Ari and Maya caught him before he hit the ground. "What's wrong?" Omar's dad asked.
"His legs are paralyzed." Maya answered. He ran out of the room and came back with a wheelchair.
"Here, place him in here." They put him down into the chair.
"Thanks." Omar said. "Dad, I need your help."
"Whatever I can do I will."
"I was hit with a mild dose of a paralytic and need you to make and antidote."
"Do you have some of it left?"
"I do." I said fishing the needle out of my pocket. I handed it over to him but on my way back I tripped over my shoelace and bumped into a shelf. A glass bottle broke and some of it embedded into my hand.
"Oh, let me help you with that." Omar's dad said rustling through some cabinets.
"No need." I said pulling it out and starting my healing process.
"Interesting. Maybe you can help me make the antidote."
Maya POV
A while later we moved Omar to a flat hospital bed so he could lay down. He wasn't speaking much.
"Don't worry, it's going to be fine." I said with a smile, trying to reassure him.
"Maybe." About that time his dad came in with a needle.
"Okay, this is it, but I could only make one dose right now. I would need to get more supplies to make another one." He started to move the needle to Omar's arm but he stopped him.
"I'd rather do it myself." He said and his dad gave it to him. About that time Ari came through the door and I swiveled around to look at him. But when I did I felt a sharp point in my left wing. I tried to move it and it worked. I turned around again.
"Look, they're working!" I said to Omar. I was so happy I bent down and kissed him. His dad had a confused look on his face. "Sorry, forgot to mention I'm his girlfriend." But then I looked down at Omar's hand and saw the needle was empty. "Why did you do that?" I asked confused.
"You deserve it more than I do."
"Don't say that." I said wrapping him up in a hug so I wouldn't slap him for being stupid. I felt his arms move up some but then fall down.
"Crap, it's spreading."
A/N- Omar: Well, that wasn't predictable at all now was it?
Me: Well, how else was I going to make the last few chapters dramatic?
Omar: I don't know.
Me: And that's why I'm the writer and you're the actor/character/whatever you want to say you are. 14 days until Nevermore. Fly on, prosper, and may the odds be ever in your favor.
