Mount Olympus [9]

Niki

I bite my lip and let him, looking down at the floor as we walk.

Elijah

I study her for a moment before focusing on where we're walking, making sure we're in the right direction.

Niki

I smile and glance up at him again.

Elijah

I smile back before reaching the backyard and blanking my expression as I look over my family.

Niki

I swallow, eyes landing on Jag trying to help Emma. Her shoulder... She got bit by a werewolf.

Her crying, the gash spreading, "Oh no..." I whisper, "A werewolf bite is fatal to a vampire, right?"

Elijah

Jag cradles his mate, looking like he actually cares for the first time in his life. I glance back at Niki as he tries to help her, "He changed her. She's a hybrid now."

Niki

"It takes a week to fully change someone," I tell him, "So technically...she still has the blood of just a vampire."

She cries out, "Make it stop!" she screams, her eyes red.

Elijah

I swallow and look back at Emma and Jag, shaking my head, "I hope not. My brother might just kill himself if he loses her..."

Spoiler

The werewolf bite effect

Niki

I swallow, "Get her inside. She needs to rest before the symptoms go into action."

Spoiler

So Emma's doomed then.

Elijah

I nod and repeat it to Jag, who hesitates before scooping her up and carrying her up to his room.

Spoiler

XD Depends if she's strong enough to fight it. Probably is.

Niki

I watch them, sighing and leading Elijah inside so I can talk to her alone.

Spoiler

xD Ah. I see.

Elijah

I follow Niki in and let her go talk to Emma, sitting on the couch and waiting for her return.

Niki

I walk into the room and sit on the side of the bed, checking over her shoulder. She swallows, staring up at the ceiling, sweating an twitching.

"Look at me," I whisper, "You need to fight it. You need to want to live. You need to make that your top priority."

Elijah

Jag comes down and sits at my side, pale-faced and worry-stricken. Sighing, I wrap an arm casually around his shoulders and assure him things will be alright. To which he nods, faces forward, and nods again.

Niki

She looks over at me, pale and her eyes red. She studies me before coughing, "I-I hurts."

I swallow, Its gonna get even worse... I nod, "It will. Just fight it."
