The storm was in full swing by the time Aiden pulled up to the ER doors. With the wind howling around them, the twins carried Danny into the hospital between them. The triage nurse inside didn't even hesitate and yelled for a gurney as soon as she saw them.
As an orderly helped get Danny on to a gurney, the nurse asked," What happened?"
"There was an accident at the Beacon Hill memorial recital. A teacher was killed and Danny was right there. I think he went into shock and then he was short of breath. He was in and out of consciousness on the way here." Ethan said as he watched medical personnel swarm over Danny as he lay on the gurney. It looked chaotic and disorganized with words like "saline" and "edema" being thrown around as a nurse inserted an IV line into Danny's right hand. Another nurse placed an oxygen mask over his face. Aiden held his brother back as he strained to be near the distressed young man. A doctor gave a few orders to the nurses and then hurried over to the twins.
"Thank you for bringing Mr. Mahealani in. He should be fine. We have called his father and he will get to Philbrook Memorial as soon as he can." He waved a pair of paramedics over. "Take this one first." He said as he handed one of them one of the clipboards he was holding.
Ethan grabbed the doctor's arm as he started to hurry off," Wait, what is going on?" he nearly growled at the man.
"We have to evacuate the hospital. The storm is knocking out power all over the county and our generators can't handle a full power outage. Philbrook is the closest hospital able to take trauma cases." He answered quickly with a slight look of alarm. Aiden pulled Ethan away from the physician, which allowed the doctor to rush off.
"You heard him, he'll be fine. We need to find out what is going on with this storm and the sacrifices. We have to stick together. Do you still have your phone?" Aiden asked as he pulled his brother out of the ER chaos and down the hallway. Ethan nodded and pulled the phone out of his pocket. In all of his concern over Danny he had been ignoring the vibrating device. There were several texts, one was unknown, one was Lydia, and three were from Kali. Wondering who the unknown was, Ethan read that one first. Aiden read over his shoulder.
-Ethan, this is Scott. The Darach attacked Lydia and took the sheriff. Lydia is okay, she was nearly strangled, but she is okay. Please tell Aiden she wants to see him. She is being taken to Philbrook Memorial. We have to warn Derek. No time to explain more. Be careful.-
Ethan frowned and looked back at his brother. Aiden's eyes were glowing a vibrant red but he shook his head and they returned to normal.
"What does Kali want?" he asked, obviously trying to hold his anger in. Ethan reluctantly tapped on the screen and brought up the texts from their pack mate.
-Where are you?-
-Dammit Ethan, answer me. Where are you?-
-Look, Deucalion thinks Blake is going to ally with Derek and his baby pack. Find the sister and you will probably find her. Derek is still mine!-
The two brothers looked at each other and then started sniffing the air. Together they turned and walked into the elevator. As the doors closed, Ethan handed his phone to Aiden. The text screen was still showing.
