Josh's Pov

I was sitting in the medical area talking to Mia when Esme came running in. She was panicked and out of breath.

She was trying to catch her breath as she said, "Leah...spy...she got stabbed...I need help,"

I jumped up, "Where?" I said adrenaline starting to course through my veins.

Esme motioned for me to follow her and started back down the hallway she came from. I looked at Mia who was now on her feet and pointed at her, "Stay here," I said then I ran after Esme.

I followed Esme into one of the common rooms where people hang out. Esme instantly went to where Leah was. She was on the floor next to the far wall. I ran over to her and quickly assessed her wounds. She had a deep wound that wasn't that long. Whatever she got stabbed with hit a major artery based on how much blood was coming out of the wound. I took a deep breath, my hands shaking from the adrenaline. I put hand hands over the wound and focused on closing the main artery. I could feel her body draining of blood, her pulse becoming weak.

The bleeding slowed a little bit but too much blood was still coming from the wound. Leah was starting to lose conciseness.

"Hey Leah, I need you to try to stay awake," I said, pushing more power into her wound.

Leah just nodded slightly, barely moving her head. Her face was screwed up in pain. I looked back to the wound as I heard Esme gently talking to her.

"Hey, it's going to be ok Leah. It's going to be ok." Esme said, quietly.

The wound just wouldn't close, no matter how hard I tried. It was like something was stopping my powers from healing her wound. I managed to close the main artery so she wasn't losing too much blood, and wouldn't bleed out right away but other veins had been punctured too. I hadn't even started checking her organs to see if they had been hit and judging from the position of the wound at least one most likely was.

I shook my head, there was no way that I could heal her by myself here. I needed to get her to the medical room.

I turned to Esme, "I need to get her to the infirmary, something is stopping my powers from working right. If I get her there I might be able to do more."

Esme nodded and looked back at Leah who's eyes were closed. She was still conscious but barely.

Esme helped me move her to the medical area. It wasn't easy to move her but we did it.

When we got there Mia ran over "Oh my god what happened?" she asked. Esme and I gently put Leah on the bed, she was still just barely concise.

Esme responded to Mia before I could, "I don't know we were talking and I left to go get some wine that I found a couple of weeks back. When I came back in..." Esme motioned helplessly at Leah.

Mia nodded, "Can I do anything to help?"

"Uh, get Lorna, she uh... she should know about this," Esme said, her hands shaking. Mia nodded and left.

I put some gauze onto Leah's wound while they were talking and tried to stop the rest of the bleeding in the more conventional way, but it wasn't working.

I pressed my lips together. I glanced up at Leah to make sure she was still awake. She wasn't. "Leah, wake up," I said, shaking her a little. "Damnit"

Esme looked at me, "What? What happened?"

"She lost consciousness. We're running out of time." I started frantically searching for my phone.

Esme looked at me like I was crazy, "Then why aren't you helping her?"

Caitlin had given me her number before she left and said to call her if my powers wouldn't work on a wound. I found the phone and started going to Caitlin's contact, "Caitlin gave me her phone number and said to call her if I need help and I need help."

Esme sighed as I pressed the call and held the phone up to my ear with one hand and put pressure on the wound with the other.

The phone rang a couple of times then went to voicemail. "Damnit!" I said throwing the phone onto the chair behind me.

Esme was pacing, "Can you do anything else. I don't want the one person that I actually find attractive to die."

"You think she's attractive?" I said looking at her with a raised eyebrow.

Esme glared at me, "It's not important, just help her!"

Leah's pulse was getting too weak. I glanced behind me at the shelves with all of the bottles of medicine. I pressed my lips together, "There is one more thing I can try"

I told Esme to keep the pressure on the wound. I walked over and grabbed a bottle of Hypercortisone-D then grabbed a syringe to start to get the liquid out.

"What are you doing?" Esme said looking at me like I was a crazy person.

"Trying something crazy," I said holding the syringe full of liquid. "This is my last resort option here so if this doesn't work, I don't have any other ideas so we're screwed."

I put the needle into my arm and injected myself with the drug. I instantly felt a rush of power flood my body. It was dizzying.

"Woah," I said grabbing the side of the table as I stumbled. Esme was still looking at me like I was insane. Which to be fair, this was an insane idea. An insane idea that just might work though.

I walked over to Leah and pushed Esme's hand away. I lifted the gauze and put my hand on the wound, power coursing through my veins like fire. The wound instantly started to heal. Whatever had been stopping me from healing her before wasn't working against my boosted powers. The skin knit itself back together leaving only a small scar where the knife penetrated her skin.

I pulled my hands away breathing a sigh of relief. I did it, I actually did it.

Esme looked at me, "Josh, what did you do to save her?"

"I used the medical version of Kick to boost my powers to save her life. Her pulse was fading. If I hadn't done that she would have died." I said.

Esme looked at me concerned, "But that drug is dangerous. It's addictive."

"I know I'll be careful," I said. "Just do me a favor and don't tell anyone. Mia would freak on me."

Esme sighed, "Fine" she looked back down at Leah, "When is she going to wake up?"

"I don't know. Her body just went through massive trauma and she lost a lot of blood, I can't fix blood loss." I said. I took a deep breath calming myself of the panic I had been feeling for the past however many minutes. "I'm going to hook her up with an IV."

By the time I was done hooking her up to the IV, Mia had come back with Lorna in tow.

"What happened?" Lorna said, her eyebrows creased and her lips pursed.

I took a deep breath and told them what happened or at least most of what happened.

"Your powers just started working and healed her. Why? Did you do something different or was it just random?" Mia asked, looking worried.

I hesitated, "I, uh, I think It was just random." I said. If she found out what I did she would scream at me for hours. My mom had a problem with drugs before I was born and sometimes addictive personalities can be passed on to the next generation. I knew Mia was just trying to look out for me but this wouldn't become an issue.

Mia squinted at me but nodded.

Lorna had walked over to Leah, "Is she going to be ok?" she asked.

"I don't know," I said walking over to the other side of the bed. "She lost a lot of blood. Two more minutes and she probably would have died."

Esme, who had been sitting in the corner of the room while I explained what happened, spoke up, "Do you know when she'll wake up?"

"No. It's impossible for me to tell. I'm not a doctor. Just a kid with healing abilities who happens to know a little bit about the human body." I said.

Lorna sighed, "I'm going to call John and Caitlin, they should probably know what's going on. Caitlin will probably want to come back soon." She said heading towards the door. "Come get me if anything changes."

Mia nodded then turned to me, "Are you ok?" she asked.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?" I said.

"Well, this is a lot to process," She said motioning towards Leah.

"I guess it is," I said laughing. "You are good with everything that's been happening? You did see someone die not too long ago."

"Yeah, it never really hit me that he died. I never knew him so guess it didn't really affect me that much." She said fidgeting with her sleeves. "Hey, I'm going to go, if that's ok."

"Yeah, it's fine. Go do something fun for me. I have a feeling I won't be leaving this room for a while." I said. Mia laughed and left.

Lauren's Pov

I was standing in my room at the dresser with the music box on it. I shivered all of a sudden. Like a chill of cold needles went down my spine.

Andy looked at me, "what?"

I shook my head, "Nothing just a weird feeling, like the danger feeling." I said. Sometimes we would get this feeling that the other one was in danger. Andy felt it when I got shot and now I just felt it.

"It's probably nothing," I said trying to reassure myself.

Andy nodded, "Let's hope so. We have enough craziness in our lives."

Someone knocked on the door. "I'll get it," I said.

I opened the door and saw Jack standing there.

"Jack, hey. Uh, what's up?" I said surprised. I hadn't really expected to see him today. I've been not really talking to many people since Wes died.

"I was wondering if you wanted to hang out?" He said awkwardly.

I looked back at Andy and he shrugged and motioned for me to go. I turned back to Jack and smiled, "Sure why not," I said.

*Yay, I posted twice in one day! Why is that you may ask? Well, I'll tell you! I finished writing this and now just want to post everything! Yay! :)*
