Tempting Fate

103 Chapter 103: Elijah’s Nearly Death

Reed saw the color of the Vanir’s eyes change, and then he used kinesis to bury the demon dagger in its chest. While Emy saw an image of a woman, and as her eyes changed color, she blew out white smoke. Emy frowned as her surroundings started to change. She was just surprised that she suddenly disappeared from the hospital. Emy turned around and saw something new to her. She didn’t know how to explain it, but it felt like she was in the past and she didn’t know what era it was. She heard a noise in the distance and looked up to see men throwing a stone at a woman. Emy did nothing but stand there and watch what was happening. The woman was bleeding when she saw what happened. When the men stopped throwing rocks at the woman, she was lying on the rock. The men’s faces showed disappointment and disgust. When the man left, Xiri rushed to the woman and tried to touch her, but she couldn’t. She tried several times, but she couldn’t touch her even if she tried so much.

“Why is it getting through?” Emy thought.

She saw blood on the stone, and Emy was sure it wasn’t from the wounds on her body. The woman had a hard time getting up. Blood was oozing from her belly as she held her stomach. The woman struggled to walk because blood was running down her leg. Emy followed with a mix of fear and worry on her face. The woman tripped and fell, leaning against a pillar. Emy sat down in front of the woman. When she looked at her for a long time, he seemed to see her. It surprised her when a hand went through her body, so she turned around to see a creature she didn’t recognize. Again, one of his hands went through the woman’s skin and went into her stomach.

“Please, not my son...” the woman pleaded.

But that creature didn’t move. Instead, it took the child from inside the woman’s stomach. Emy covered her mouth when she saw the creature pull the child out of the woman’s stomach and throw it far away. The woman’s mouth fell open as she looked at the creature. Emy didn’t know if the woman was still alive or not. Later, the creature touched the woman’s mouth, and a slow white light come out of its mouth.

“Miss Emy, Miss Emy,”

Emy gasped when she heard a voice calling her name. Later, he went somewhere else. Avery was standing in front of her with her hand on her head and her mouth open, but she didn’t know what she was saying. Jasmin’s voice was what she kept hearing, calling her.

Devin, Reed, Dynhir, and Eve watched as Vanir’s body burned. When its body was completely burned, the demon dagger fell to the ground and Reed used his kinesis to float it into the air. After a while, no one could see it anymore.

.....

Eve was looking at Reed. “That wound on your cheek...”

“Get back to your house and rest,” Reed said. He turned toward Devin. “You too. You did well earlier.”

Reed looked at Dynhir and Eve for a moment, then quickly disappeared from their sight.

“You Dynhir, you let Emy’s little brother get hurt...” Devin said as Eve and Dynhir came toward him.

“It’s worth it because I now know where they live,” Dynhir said, smiling.

“You did?” Devin asked.

“Of course.”

Reed suddenly appeared in front of Emy and hugged her. “How is Elijah?” Reed asked.

“He is still in the operating room. They brought the blood that had been taken from Avery.” Amy said.

“Blood? What blood?” Reed asked.

“Elijah needed blood,” Emy said.

Reed took a deep breath. He gave Jasmin a quick look. “Wait, Avery’s blood was given to Elijah?” Reed asked after he thought about what Emy had said.

“Yes. He’s the only one with the same blood type,” said Emy.

Reed didn’t answer. He suddenly felt worried about Elijah. He isn’t sure, but if Elijah and Avery share the same blood, Elijah may have seen what Avery sees.

“Sir Reed, something happened to Emy earlier,” Jasmin said. Emy glared at Jasmine, but it was too late. Reed had already heard this.

“What happens?”

“Ah, well...” Jasmin said.

Suddenly, Devin walked into the operating room. He saw Elijah operating. The doctor is already sewing up the wound and has replaced the blood bag that was hanging over his head with a new one. Devin stood next to Elijah’s bed, but doctors and nurses couldn’t see him, so they didn’t care about him. He let out black smoke, which made the doctors and nurses sleepy until they fell asleep. Devin made black smoke again and put it in Elijah’s ear. He saw that the black smoke flowed toward the boy’s head, then down to his chest, around his heart, and back down again until it reached his stomach and his wound healed.

“You won’t remember a thing about what happened, Elijah...” Devin said that it surprised him Elijah’s wound did not continue to heal. The machine that was there also went off, and his body hissed.

“What’s going on?” Devin asked, uncertain. He looked at the wound and it never got better. “Shit!”

Devin breathed out black smoke, which woke the nurses and doctors up. They woke up and were surprised to see what was going on. They got worried. Devin looked around and watched what was happening.

—

“Why did Elijah take so long inside? He has been there for hours.”

Emy was getting anxious. She had been waiting outside for a nurse or doctor to come out of the operating room, but no one came out.

Reed hugged Emy, and Emy cried. Avery comes and sees Reed hugging Emy. Reed gave Avery a slight nod and let her sit next to Jasmin.

When the door to the surgery room opened, they turned around. Emy let go of Reed’s hug right away and went over to the doctor.

“Doc, how’s my brother?”

“I’m sorry, but he did not make it,” said the doctor.

When Emy heard that, she suddenly went pale and lost her strength. Reed luckily caught him.

The man who had been watching them took a deep breath, got up from his chair, and walked towards the operating room. Reed was one person who saw him, but not everyone else did. He smiled at this, then went straight into the operating room.

Inside, the nurse gradually takes Elijah’s connected devices off of him. Devin just stood there and looked at it. He couldn’t believe that Emy’s youngest brother was gone. His fist was clenched. But he lost track of his thoughts when a man walked up to the child and, like him, the nurses and assistant nurses didn’t see him. He just put his hand on Elijah’s chest for a few seconds, and then he gasped. Devin’s eyes got bigger when he saw what was happening. It surprised even the nurses there when the boy suddenly breathed again. Devin kept looking at the person who brought Elijah back to life. He looked at her, smiled, and then walked out of the operating room. Right away, a nurse ran out.

“No! No!” Emy said that she was getting close to being out of breath. “My brother, it’s not possible...” she kept crying and sobbing.

“Doc! Doc!”

When a nurse came out of the operating room, everyone turned to her. Reed looked at the man who followed the nurse out of the operating room.

“Doc, the patient is still alive!” said the confused nurse.

Reed went after the man and smiled and winked at him as he went. The doctor quickly went back to the operating room. Emy got even weaker, and she thought she was going to lose consciousness. He didn’t understand why he was being tested in that way.

Devin suddenly walked up next to Jasmin, which surprised the girl.

“Sh*t, Sir Devin, you show up suddenly. I’m going to have a heart attack from you.” Jasmin said while holding her chest.

Devin saw Reed seemed to be looking for something, and he was sure it was the man from the operating room.

“I think you need to give Emy a sleeping pill,” Devin said when he saw the way Emy was looking.

—

“Elijah!”

Emy fell backward when she woke up. Everyone turned to him, including Elijah, who was still being held by their father. He did not know they were home. And Elijah is doing well.

“Elijah.” E my said. “What happens?”

“Sir Devin used his power to make the nurses and doctors forget what happened,” Jasmin said.

“Elijah is okay...” Reed said. “You? Are you okay?”

Emy didn’t answer. Instead, she was looking at everyone while they were all looking at her.

They hung out in the garden of Emy’s father’s house. They talked about what had happened. Devin was quiet and said nothing about his role in why Elijah was destroyed or what he saw in the operating room.

“You saw past a Vanir? How?”

“Vanir?” Emy asked.

“That’s a Vanir we fought a while ago. He kidnapped Elijah and the other fog children who were scattered along the road.” Reed said.

“Maybe she is looking for his son,” Jasmin said. “And she eats it so that her baby can go back to her stomach.”

Devin chuckled. “You don’t have to eat a person to have a baby in your tummy. Before that happens, a lot of work needs to be done.”

“You’re not an incubus, Sir, but your mouth does things differently,” Avery said. Devin laughed even harder.

“He is always with Dynhir and Eve, so he is already infected,” Reed said.

Devin chuckled. “Did I say something wrong?”

“Sir, you’re talking to a single lady. You should be more sensitive .” Jasmin said.

Devin laughed harder but said nothing.
