Chapter 20
Jazalyn, Melissa, Brian, and Mia were walking around the cave. 'I hope everyone is alright,' Jazalyn thought, 'I would hate to see someone die.'
"Hey guys," a female voice called, "a little help here."
Everyone turned to find Sarah supporting Ryo with her shoulders. "What happened?" Melissa asked.
"Sekhmet blinded Ryo," Sarah began. "He tried to kill me, but Melody interfered. Sekhmet's poison got into her skin. I don't if she's going to be paralyzed."
"Damn it all to Hell and back!" Jazalyn swore in her loudest voice, "Where is she?"
"I don't know," Sarah shuddered.
"WHERE IS SHE?" Jazalyn yelled louder.
"Toward the entrance of the cave," Sarah replied.
"I'm going after her," Jazalyn stated.
Brian grabbed her arm, "Don't try to play hero mate."
Jazalyn yanked her arm away from Brian's grip, "I'm going after her. No one is going to get left behind." With that, Jazalyn ran back toward the entrance.
Melody ran; she had to move as quickly as possible. Her left arm had just given out and her right leg was starting to feel numb. 'I have to get to the others,' Melody thought, 'they can protect me.'
As Melody made her way down the cave, she heard metallic-sounding footsteps. 'Shit,' she thought, 'my partner's here.'
As the footsteps got closer, Melody's right leg gave out. 'Now I'm deep shit,' she thought.
Suddenly, Sekhmet appeared in front of her. With her right leg out and her left leg going numb, Melody grimaced in pain, "Are you here to finish what you started?"
Sekhmet kneeled down so that Melody's face was in the same area as his faceplate. In his hand was a small bottle with a clear liquid in it. As he unscrewed the cork, he looked at his injured partner, "Drink this."
"No," Melody grimaced.
Sighing at his impatient partner, Sekhmet grabbed Melody's chin and opened her mouth. When her mouth was open, Sekhmet forced the liquid down her throat.
Melody swallowed the liquid, if she didn't, she would have choked on the fluid. It tasted like carbonated water with lemon in it. Once she had drunk the liquid, Sekhmet helped her stand up. Almost immediately, Melody could feel her arms and legs. Melody looked at Sekhmet in shock, "Why?" She asked.
Sekhmet looked at Melody straight in the eye, "you're my partner."
"Melody," Jazalyn yelled.
Sekhmet looked at his partner, "Just because you are my partner, that doesn't mean that I won't kill Wildfire and Halo."
As Sekhmet teleported away, Melody stared in amazement. She never expected her partner to have the ability to heal.
"Melody," Jazalyn called out, startling her best friend, "you okay?"
"Yeah," Melody replied.
"Can you move anything?" Jazalyn asked.
Melody turned to face the other girl, "I was paralyzed, but Sekhmet gave me the antidote."
"Then you're okay?" Jazalyn replied.
"Yep," Melody smiled, "let's get back to the others."
