Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Donavitch

ZANDER LET LOOSE A heavy sigh. "Maybe," he said, "but first she wants to hold her dog."

Isaac frowned in disapproval, but he moved out of the way. Last week, I wouldn't heal Ruthie until Isaac left. Now I didn't have the same privacy. If Knox was going to make it, I had to risk Isaac finding out about me. Based on this morning's events, I didn't think he would freak out. Obviously, he was good with weird already.

Zander settled me next to Knox's still form, placing my hand on his neck. His fur was wet and sticky with blood. More blood dripped from his ear. I realized that I wasn't numb everywhere. I could feel tears dripping from my eyes. If I could cry, then we might be able to save Knox. Zander kneeled over me, blocking Isaac's view. I think we both knew that we could share our abilities, especially when we were touching each other. This had to work. He laid one hand on my shoulder and one on Knox.
