Mount Olympus [8]

Jackie

I open my eyes and bump into something, seeing another wolf behind me. ...Really?

,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I glance around, but freeze immidiatly. A look of pain shoots through my eyes and I drop to the ground, An arrow in my back.

Jackie's face goes pale and she rushes to me, "Rayah!"

It wood, My paws start to turn to ash and she starts crying, shaking me, "Ray, wake up."

Nic

I bolt after Jackie as Jace does. He drops beside Rayah and takes her furry face in his hands.

```
Jace

"Ray, baby, no!" I beg, shaking my head. I hesitate before ripping the arrow out of her back and taking her in my arms. "Wake up, Rayah. Please, wake up. Don't leave me."

Jackie

It's wood...

I take my face in my hands, not daring to look at her.

,,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

Stinging pain seeps through me and my tail twitches, my eyes slowly turning back to green.

Nic

I wrap my arms around Jackie and hold her close, watching Jace and Rayah while keeping alert.

``
Jace

No, no, no! Rayah, come back! Stay with me, please! I stroke her fur back and kiss the top of her head, holding her close, "I need you. Stay with me, please."

Jackie

I think, glancing up, "Get her to the room."

,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

Still uncontious, I whine, my legs ash now.

Nic

I look at Jackie and then at Jace, getting up to help him with her.

```
Jace

I look up at Jackie and Nic before glancing down at Rayah again, finding her legs ash, "H-how do we get her up there in one piece?"

Jackie

I hesitate before doing it myself, cupping her in a light bubble before leading them to the room.

,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

Something in cups me and I keep my eyes closed, my paws slowly turning back to hands.

Nic

I help Jace up, leading him inside. He wipes his eyes and looks around at everything.

```
Jace

I look around at the a wolves around me before locking my eyes back on Rayah, watching her transform slowly back to human.

Jackie

I let the bubble pop inside the dorm and catch her when she falls, setting her in her bed and looking at her wound. It grows, just like poision ivy, and sit at her side as she turns human all the way, her eyes still closed.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I hear my name and open my eyes slightly, finding Jackie towering over me while flashing a smile, "How you doing?"

I swallow, wincing as I bring a hand to my back, sweating.

Nic

I stay behind Jackie, swallowing.

```
Jace

I move to Rayah's side and prop her up, making sure her back wasn't touching anything, "W-we need something to stop the bleeding."

Jackie

"No, duh," I sigh, "She's gonna be...fine. She just needs blood."

,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

...Blood? EW!

I shake my head, backing up against the headboard as fast as I can, "I'm not drinking blood."

"You need to, Ray," She whispers.

I shake my head still, "No. Not happening."

Nic

Jace shrinks back at Jackie's words, glaring at her a moment before moving with Rayah.

``
Jace

I look at Rayah and swallow, "Please."

Jackie

I hesitate, taking a knife from the counter and slicing my wrist, sitting next to her.

,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I stare at her wrist, my fangs elongating, but shake my head.

Nic

I swallow and shake my head at Jackie, pulling her away, "Please. Not you. Jace'll do it."

``
Jace

I turn Rayah's face towards me and hesitate before craning my neck, "Now, Rayah. Please. I need you to be okay, and this is the only way."

Jackie

I shake my head and look at Nic, "She won't do Jace. She won't hurt him."

,,,,,,,,,,,
Rayah

I nod and Jackie's words and keep my eyes on her wrist.
