Chapter 82: Chapter 82
"Ethan" she repeated louder and stumbled towards me. I grinned about to take her in my arms when a shot rang in the air.
Lily froze where she stood, her eyes wide and lips slightly parted. She put her hand on her stomach and then stared at the blood pouring out. Her eyes started to flutter "Ethan" she said weakly before she fell. I immediately caught her, still in shock and looked behind me from where the sound came and saw the man Lily stabbed earlier was clutching his chest, that was spurting blood, before he fell to the ground. Dead.
"Lily?" I asked as I turned to her "Can you hear me?"
"Ethan" She said but coughed out blood and I immediately turned her to the side so she woudln’t choke on it. I felt fear grip me. "You-You"
"What?"
"Take the bullet...out" she managed to choke out "it-it’s one of" she coughed "Mine"
I felt my face go pale, if the one he shot her with was anywhere close to the one she told me about last time then...
"How?"
"Knife" she muttered pointing behind me. I looked and found a knife beside the dead body, the one she used "Make....a...c-cut and...t-take it...out"
I looked at her horrified at the thought but she was writhing in pain on the floor so with inhuman speed I grabbed the knife and got back to her.
I looked at her and she tried to smile at me, to reassure me but I saw her wince, she was in pain.
My hands shook as I put the knife on the edge of her stomach. I forced them to still and started making a cut. Lily stiffened and I looked up to see her tugging at her hair and clenching her teeth from the pain.
When the cut was made I looked at her and she nodded to me "h-hurry" I gulped and felt my eyes sting but forced myself to focus. I opened her cut a bit and she made a sound at the back of her throat and it killed me to hear her.
Blood was everywhere and i tried to see the bullet. When I finally saw it I used the knife and took it out. I immediately tore a piece of my shorts and put it against her stomach to stop the bleeding.
Lily saw the bullet in my hand and groaned "Damn" she said
"It’ll be okay Lily" I said "I’m gonna take you to the pack doctor just-"
"D-Ethan" she said "i-it’s too late."
"What?" I asked as I felt my heart drop "n-no it’s not Lily just hang on" i motioned to carry her but she put a hand on my arm.
"Listen" she said and then let out a yelp of pain "It’s already in my blood Ethan. and I-" She groaned, closing her eyes tightly "I made these b-bullets so no one w-would...be able...t-to live...after" She took a deep breath and then reached to her stomach.
"Well you’ll be an exception" I said and carried her. I started running as she kept writhing in pain in my arms.
"D-Ethan" she said "L-look at me" I looked at her and she reached a hand and put it against my cheek "s-stop and l-look at me...please. f-for me" I stopped, unable to say no to her and looked down at her "I-I’m sorry"
"you don’thave anything to be sorry about" I said, my eyes were stinging with suppressed tears. Damn it I needed to focus
"y-yes I d-do" she said "I...I s-should have known y-you wouldn’t...." She groaned and I looked at her, pained to see her in so much agony "h-hurt me again."
"Shhh" I said as my eyes watered "it’s.." I cleared my throat after my voice turned out hoarse "It’s okay"
"I-I was just" she said "I was scared" Tears escaped her eyes and I hastily shifted her weight to one hand and used the other to wipe them "I-I didn’t b-believe I’d be...able to b-be with you" she coughed a bit and seemed to be gasping for air and I clenched my teeth as my lip trembled "T-too good...to be t-true"
"You’re too good to be true" I said caressing her face "You’re perfect Lily" Tears fell from my eyes and landed on her cheeks "And you’re going to be okay"
"Ethan" she said "I-it’s too late"
"Don’t say that" I said determined "Don’t you dare give up on me Lily." The tears fell freely from my eyes and my chest tightened, my wolf howling in agony. "Do you hear me? D-don’t you dare give up. Y-you’re going to be fine." I looked down at her "I-I can’t live without you L-lux, please. Tell me you’re not giving up"
She nodded after a while of silence "I’m not" she said and I nodded wiping away my tears
"Good" I said, my voice shaky "Now hold onto me okay?" she nodded and I ran as fast as I could
She’s with me I told my pack through the mind link I’m taking her to the pack doctor
Is she okay? Xavier asked and I looked down at her to find her head buried in my chest.
No...she... just...what’s your status?
The rogues retreated Keith said No one’s here anymore
We’re behind you Xavier added and I looked behind me to see Xavier, Keith and the other guys running behind me. Soon they reached me and formed a protective circle to protect Lily.
Oh my god Jacob said w-what the hell happened? Why is she bleeding so much?
That asshole shot her I said Using her bullets
WHAT?! Jacob said Please tell me not the bullets she showed me?
What do they do Jacob? I asked, I needed to know what she was going through
S-she said that you’d go unconscious for days and then....and then be in terrible pain as each organ fails before you...before you die.
NO! I heard the twins scream
