Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 159-67

Reggie and Amari step into the room.I follow them, but Bronx holds me back.

"Kas, please be careful," his face is full of worry.

He places his palm on my face and caresses my cheek with his thumb.I can feel his worry flooding through me.I close my eyes to concentrate and block it, hold my hands against his so he doesn’t pull away.

Selfishly want to feel our mate bond for a moment.

"I’ll be back out here as soon as I’m done healing Ashley.No sooner, no later,"

I don’t want to promise him anything.I don’t feel like right now is the time to be careful. It is time for action.

He leans down and gives me a soft kiss, "I'll be right here waiting, Baby."

I give him one last look before I go back into Ashley’s room.

Amari has situated herself on the far side of the bed.

Reggie is holding Ashley’s hand up to his mouth, kissing it.

When he sees me, he moves to the other side of the room with Ashley’s mom.She rubs his back while they both watch with worry.

"Alright, Kas.Lay your hands as you normally would.Ashley, I am going to lay my hands on top of your Luna’s.Try to double her healing ability, if you will," Amari explains to the sleepy Ashley.

"Ashley, if you feel any pain, any discomfort at all, tell us right away," I nod while I speak to her.

"Okay.I will," she smiles weakly.

I put her hands down at her sides for her and place one of my hands on her chest and the other on her slightly bloated belly.

"So, how far along are you? I can’t believe I forgot to ask," I ask apologetically.

"A month and a half.We couldn't find a good time to tell you with everything that has been going on," she sounds apologetic herself.

Typical Ashley, always worried about everyone else.

"Okay, well, let’s make the next three and a half months comfortable in there for this pup, shall we?" иσνєℓєвσσк.¢σмI giggle a little, trying to lighten the mood.

"Yeah, let’s," she smiles back.

I look up at Amari and nod, "Ready?"

"Yes," she says.

It’s just one word, but it is calm and reassuring.She places her hands over top of mine and takes a deep breath.

I fee] her warm, calming energy flow into my hands.

Pure and white, mixing in with my impatient, rolling waves of energy.

I close my eyes and take a deep breath, focusing on Ashley.

I let Amari’s energy fuse with mine.

As I feel it,I am tempted to pull more from her, but it feels like it would be a breach of trust to do so.I let my essence melt from my human form and flow into Ashley.I can sense her baby.

Katie feels tired and weak, but she doesn't want to give up.I start by giving both of them a boost to strengthen them.

It will be for them to deal with the intensity of the treatment.

When I am sure they are both stable, I spread myself further, down to their organs and tissue.I can sense I am close to the source of the problem.I am drawn to the red blood cells being pumped through both of their hearts.

Focusing further, I become more disconnected from my body and becoming part of the universe with my energy and essence.I’m finally able to get to the cellular level.I watch as the blood cells move around me.

Dark and damaged, not able to take in the oxygen they need.

I try to reach into them, but the darkness doesn’t budge.

"I need to invoke your mysticism, Kas," I feel Amari’s voice guiding me.

I look around at what I see.

How do I do that? How do I pull this disease out of these cells? I reach out and rake my energy through the cells, leaving a purple aura behind as I do.

Bidding the aura to pull the darkened diseased spots into the aura and back toward my physical form.

I sense a minute change in Ashley’s body.

When I check on Katie, there is a slight change in her, too.

It's working! 1 I perform the action again and look around, watching the cells swirl around me, getting lighter and lighter back to the normal red color. Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

As I continue, my purple aura becomes darker and choppier.I pull the damaged energy back into my physical form and continue focusing on Ashley and Katie.

Then I push positive, healing energy into her and Katie’s essence, giving them strength to replace the darkness I am pulling from them.I rake my energy through her again.

Pushing the disease out of her cells, collecting it in my aura, and pushing healing energy to the mother and baby.I keep going until there is no sign of the disease.

I pull my essence back slowly and carefully.

As I become more complete, I feel something is different with the baby.I focus on her.

She seems happy and content, settled into her mommy’s belly.

Her energy is through the roof.I take that as a good sign and continue to pull back to my body.I finally open my eyes and look around.

Amari’s hands are not on top of mine.

She is standing back against the wall, watching me with wide eyes.

"Tokaste, y-you didn't...you're a...,"

Amari stumbles over her words.I’m not sure when she removed herself from our link, but she looks like she fears something.I turn to Ashley.

She is back to her normal color and her energy is back to how I’m used to seeing her.

She has tears running down her face.

"Did I hurt you? Why are you crying?" As I speak, I feel really nauseous, but I reach forward to wipe her tears.

"No Kas, I’m happy.You did it.I feel like a million bucks,"

She puts her hands over her mouth and sobs, looking over at Reggie.I turn to look at Reggie, but the motion makes me dizzy.I grab onto the railing of the bed and stumble backwards.

He rushes forward and catches me before I hit the ground.I hear Bronx run into the room, pulling me out of Reggie’s arms.

"Kas? Talk to me.Are you okay?" Bronx asks, fussing over me.

I see his eye looking at me, but my vision is spinning, so it’s difficult to focus on him.I feel a trickle of sweat slide down my forehead as my Nausea gets worse.

"I’m so dizzy.I-I think I’m gonna puke," I stammer.

Without another word, Bronx picks me up and carries me into the bathroom.

Amari follows and closes the door behind us.

He sets me on the edge of the tub in front of the toilet.

I feel the lurch of my stomach and lean forward, letting the dark tarry contents of my stomach out.

Bronx holds my hair and rubs my back, soothing me.

The sour, acidic taste coating my mouth makes me feel sick all over again.

My stomach heaves over and over until there's nothing left to throw up.I lean back and close my eyes.I’m still dizzy, but completely drained of energy.

Bronx takes me in his arms and I feel him pull me into his lap.

"I've got you, Baby," he whispers against my forehead.

I feel a warm washcloth being wiped against my mouth and chin.

"Amari, what happened? When did you stop helping me?" I ask, my eyes are still closed, leaning against Bronx’s chest.

"Kas, I didn’t expect...you’ve developed a new ability,"

I hear her saying, sounding shocked, "When we first met, were...were you able to feel my ability? My energy?"

"Yeah, of course.It feels white and pure,"

My eyes feel like they have sandbags on them, but I open them enough to look at her.

"What about when you met Tessa? Did you touch her? Shake her hand? It’s important," Amari says with a serious tone in her voice.

"I remember handing her a bag with her order and giving her a card so she could contact Ashley for asylum here. But I didn’t know she was my sister.I thought she was running from someone who was hurting her.Now that you mention it, yeah, her energy felt, umm, blue.Strict and angry.Ready to fight."

"And I know you probably don’t remember, but our sister Cora also came in contact with you.How did you feel when you came back from being abducted?"

"She wasn’t hungry,"

Bronx recalls for me, "She was in the hospital wing when her eyes flashed red and she shifted involuntarily.Once she did, Lex went hunting and ate probably a dozen rabbits.Saint said it was a pretty wild night."

"Oh dear,"

Amari stands up and starts pacing the small bathroom and talking under her breath to herself.

"What is it?" Bronx asks, looking concerned.

"We need to consult with Katherine about how we should handle this," Amari says, standing in front of us, wringing her hands.

"Handle what, exactly, Amari?" Bronx asks again, sounding a little more annoyed.

"Kas, it seems, umm, besides everything else, you have become an energy vampire."
