Eagle Crest Hallows [3]

Jesse

I chuckle and cross my arms. "Get out of me."

,,,,,,,,

Rayah

I cough so much, my eyes still watering. "I-I couldn't hold it.." I muttered, shaking. "It was too much..."

Alyx

I chuckle inside her, No one said your lesson was over.

````````````````
Jace

I hold Rayah, wiping the ash from her face.

"Shh, s'okay," I whisper, "It's okay. It's over now."

Jesse

I sigh, leaning against the wall. "What do you mean?"

,,,,,,,,,,,,

Rayah

I shake my head, blinking a couple times, "It's over?" I ask, my voice still scratchy.

Alyx

Calm down and I'll show you.

``````````````````````
Jace

I nod, wiping her eyes, "I told Alyx to finish it. He's done."

Jesse

I calmed down and waited.

,,,,,,,,,,

Rayah

I nod, my lungs hurting. I bring my hand to my throat and sigh.

Alyx

I hesitate before slipping out of her and fixing the house the way it had been before the quarrel.

````````````````
Jace

I set my hand over hers and kiss her forehead, "It's okay."

Jesse

I watch him. "That was my lesson?"

,,,,,,,

Rayah

I cough one last time before slipping into uncontiousness.

Alyx

Something happens outside and I hear Jace freak out. I turn to the girl.

"Your lesson will be saved for another time," I say, "Save what you caused."

Jesse

I sigh and stand walking outside. Jace is freaking out and I crouch next to him, feeling Rayah's pulse. "She'll be fine. She's just sleeping."

Alyx

I watch from inside, images from the future flashing across my mind. Once I'm done, I sit down and glance at the twins, who somehow had yet to move.

Jesse

I pick up Rayah and throw her over my shoulder, bringing her inside.

Alyx

Jace follows like a lost puppy, sitting close to his wife once she's set down. I regret taking him in, remembering how degrading it is to the mind. Even if it's just temporary.

Jesse

I watch Rayah, seeing how she's not worried and get a little nervous. "Jace, Was she complaining? Did something look wrong?" I ask, checking her pulse again.

Alyx

"Of course something looked wrong, you made her roast in a freaking fire!" He looks at her.

I take a deep breath and lay back on the floor, twining my hands on my stomach.

Jesse

I shoot him a look, "I'm serious, like do you know what was hurting her?"
