Shifted Fate Novel

Chapter 376 Okay .

I stood up .

I can grab the things I need from the kitchen after dinner .

We will do it then .

Okay ? Everyone nodded .

There is a reason I brought you here , other than the fact that we can speak freely .

Alannah looked around .

What is it ? I need your blood .

I grimaced .

I looked around and saw that once again my mom was ahead of me .

In the bathroom on the counter , there were five plastic cups , a small knife , and one bandage .

I nodded over to the bathroom and waited for everyone to walk in .

I sat down on the toilet and gestured to the tiny cups .

Its not a lot .

But where I am going to take you , you need to be added to a spell so that you cant be traced .

They just looked at each other before they nodded .

Every one grabbed their cup except Abby , she walked over to me .

Could your help me ? She swallowed loudly .

Im not supposed to get hurt cause it will make my sickness worse .

She was scared , but I pulled her close .

Can I tell you a secret ? She nodded .

When I was your age , I got hurt .

Real bad .

And I was terrified of being hurt again .

How did you get past it ? she shook as she raised her arm towards me .

By doing exactly what you are doing now .

Being brave .

I smiled , but her eyes were focused on her wrist in my hand .

Hey , look up here .

Look at my eyes and tell me a story .

Huh ? She looked up and I smiled .

Look at my face and tell me a story .

Your favourite story .

I grabbed her cup , and I got it under her hand .

Her gaze jumped to me but I tsked her .

Nope .

Up here .

Her eyes snapped to mine .

Good .

Now … your story .

She closed her eyes for a minute , and then she looked back at me .

There once was a little girl who lived in the forest .

She continued the story for a minute before she stopped .

Arent you going to cut me ? I just tapped her nose .

Pay attention to your story .

Does closing your eyes help ? She thought about it for a minute and then nodded .

Okay , then close your eyes and focus on your story .

Really picture it .

She started again , eye closed and her breathing finally evened out .

I waited for a few minutes , and I realized everyone had stopped to listen .

I gestured them to keep going and then I shifted my claw .

Abby had gotten to a part of her story where the little girl ventured out of the forest , and I could tell she had finally relaxed enough that cutting into her wouldnt do more damage than I intended , and I acted .

I quickly slid my nail against her , opening a shallow cut .

Her blood came quick , quicker than it should have , but she was right before .

The spell that was making her skin chased after death .

Her quick inhale was her only reaction .

She kept telling her story even if her voice quivered a bit .

Once I was sure I had enough blood , I pushed my magic into her , but it was my turn to gasp .

My magic flowed through her body and I could feel all the damage the hex did to her body .

Even damaged muscle , her weakened organs , but it was her wolf that broke me even more .

Her tiny pup Inside of her was skin and bones .

1/2 hapte +20 Bonus I pushed Nix into her with my magic , and she walked over to the pup .

Abby , the sweet girl , knew something was happening , and was suddenly beside me in her mind .

How are you here ? She looked up at me .

Magic , sweetheart .

I walked over with her to her forest , where her tiny pup was hiding just inside of the trees .

Where are we going ? She trailed behind me .

To to your safe place for your wolf .

I held my hand out to her .

She finally caught up and slipped her hand in mine .

I could still feel my magic doing its best to heal with worse damage , even though it wasnt much .

But this , this was too important to ignore .

We walked over to find Nix cuddled around a dull , furred red wolf .

The sickness had leech the vibrancy long ago .

She was shivering in the cold , fighting to survive .

Nix had barely laid down fully before the tiny wolf pup howled softly and tucked herself closer to her warmth .

She looked up at me with horror filled eyes .

She is close to death .

How long do we have ? To save the pup ? I knelt , pulling Abby with me .

I turned to her .

This is your wolf , sweetheart .

Comfort her .

Abby hesitated , looking at Nix .

Dont worry .

She is my wolf .

Abby got close then , laying down next to her wolf and cuddled her against Nixs side .

Not long Nix signed , and she nestled the pup .

Maybe a day .

Abby started to cry when she heard .

She wont survive without her wolf , Nix .

Nix looked up at me with pain written on her face .

I know .

Its okay Nala .

Her words were soft .

We did our best .
