The Wolf In Me

Chapter 43: Part 2 Emergency

Luka's POV

I watched as Mei was pushed down on the ground from about four meters distance. She shifted back on human form and instantly noticed that she started to bleed badly.

"Mei!" I breathed unable to move.

Jake stood up and tried to walk to her direction, but the demon was in the way. We were told not to look into his eyes because that is what freezes your whole body. The more you stared into its eyes, the more it gets to you, just like the ancient medusa goddess.

"Quickly, in the office," Melody screamed again.

Jake rushed to my side, unlocking the wheels to my bed and moved me into the next room.

"Mei!" I cried, now managing to move more parts of my body, possibly from the rush of panic that I was in.

I started to scream in frustration, forcing my body to start working. I tried my arms first, but only my fingers could move. I stopped to take a few breaths, before I tried again, this time moving my left arm up to my elbow. Jake locked the door and observed me as I was pushing myself further and further into moving my whole body. It was very painful, but it was somehow working.

Melody's POV

I turned my head to check if Luka and Jake have made their way into the office to clear the way for me. I noticed the black tv screen reflecting the demon's body that was trying to snatch at me, but with both my arms facing him, he was unable to take a step closer. The lock-in cage spell I practised months ago at witch school has come in quite handy. I moved slowly backwards, allowing the beast to take a few steps forward, hoping he gets to see its reflection. Lylah and Nelly both managed to make their way into the hospital room and noticed what I was doing, so they helped me push him closer towards the reflection. We all started to chant together the trapping spell as soon as he was near enough. He looked confused as to what I was doing, checking everywhere until he noticed that he was too close to the tv. He tried hard to break it, but we were faster than him and we watched as his body evaporated into the tv screen, trapping him back inside. Finally one step forward. The demon was caught again. We all breathed heavily from the turmoil and took us a few minutes to gather ourselves again.

"We all know this is only temporary. We must place him back into the mirror as it should hold him longer," Lylah said breathing.

I was trying to catch my breath back from all the energy I wasted on the beast.

"Let's get him out of here," Nelly suggested whilst unplugging the tv and bringing it down.

"We must find the right spell fast! We have to take him back to where he belongs," I yelled as they started to run out of the hospital, making their way into Lylah's bedroom.

I knocked at the office door slowly.

"He is gone for now. We trapped him again and we are working harder to get him out of our territory, but for now, you can come out," I said, resting my left arm on the door.

I heard it unlock slowly and Jake opened, observing the area.

"Mei is in trouble," Luka yelled from behind.

He must have gotten his voice back, possibly with all the adrenaline that was rushing through his body. I peeped over Jake to see Luka, trying hard to stand up from his bed.

"Wait, Luka stay here. I will look into it. Jake, bring him back out here and don't let him move," I insisted.

I started to run out of the hospital, noticing that there was an amount of blood on the floor and was going all the way throughout the corridor. I followed the trail of blood until I arrived at Steph's bedroom door, which was half-open.

"Hello?" I called from behind before I pushed the door.

Mei was on Steph's bed as Dr Rebecca was working onto getting her back into consciousness. Steph rushed to my side with wide eyes. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

"Is he gone? We need to take her to the hospital asap. Both she and the baby are in grave danger," She explained hurriedly all shaky.

"Yes, we trapped the demon. He is not there any longer. Let me help you take her there."

Mei's POV

I started to get my consciousness back. My body felt like it was all butchered and swollen from the beast's hit. I opened my eyes slowly, still feeling woozy and placed my arms around my belly to feel my baby, but something felt wrong. My belly wasn't as pregnant as I remembered it to be. I tried to stand up abruptly but I felt a strong sting coming from my stomach and was pushed back on the bed. I noticed that I was not in Steph's room any longer, but the hospital. My heart started to pound hard against my lungs and my breathing was heavier.

"The baby, where is the baby?" I shrieked, tears forming in my eyes.

"Here," I heard a familiar voice say from my side.

"Luka?" I asked confused.

I turned my head to see him resting against the headboard with an incubator next to him.

"What's happening?" I asked feeling my eyes sting as tears rolled down my face.

"It's a boy. We have a son! He is ok, just born before his official date. So he needs to be placed in here for a while until he is full term. Don't worry mama, he is a strong one, just like you."

He stopped to breathe for a moment then continued.

"The fall inflicted your placenta to detach from its place and caused the need for emergency labour. You were unconscious all the time due to low blood. They infused you with A positive and now you are slowly getting your colour back on your cheeks. I cannot walk as of yet, but I will ask a nurse to bring the baby to you," he clarified, pushing a red button to his right.

Instantly, a nurse rushed in with a file on his arm that rested against his chest.

"She is awake. Can you help her sit and show her the baby?" Luka asked with his strong voice.

The nurse nodded, placing the file on a small table opposite Luka's bed, then rushed to my side, lifting me slowly against the headboard. I felt the pain coming from my lower belly and realised I had stitches. It must have been a c-section I thought to myself, now feeling nervous to see my son for the first time. His birth was not as I always imagined it to be. I hoped to have a normal delivery experience, with Luka by my side, encouraging me to push him out as I grip his hand tightly. It was not like that at all, but at least the baby was ok. The nurse pushed the incubator to my side and opened it to lift the baby just a

little for me to see him. His fragile fingers hovering in thin air as he had a bunch of tubes attached to him. Tears kept rolling down my face as I reached to touch his delicate skin. He looked so tiny but very peaceful. I observed his features from head to toe smiling with both joy and sadness for missing such an important event because of some situation we got in to.

"He looks just like you," I said through crying and chuckling.

"I know, right?" He exclaimed smiling back at me. "You did so well, my dear," he said, encouraging me to feel better.

My eyes turned to look at Luka that had his grey eyes shining bright with excitement and happiness. The smiling nurse put the baby back in the incubator and moved him closer to my side, leaving the room to give us some space.

"You look better too," I said after a moment of silence, trying to gather myself from all the emotions.

"I am pushing myself to increase movement. My speech is back finally, and my arms."

He raised them to show me that they are working just fine.

"I am so glad. I was worried."

Tears started to form on the rim of my eyes, but I held it all in.

"I'll be up and about in no time. Our pack needs my leadership. We need to fight that bastard demon and take him back to his natural ambience," he said in a tout manner.
