章 30: Wounded Omegas
Storm didn't say a word as he followed me through the halls of the school. We were certain not to make many sounds to avoid alerting the teachers of our presence.
At one time, we were almost caught by one of the patrolling teachers. Had Fan not alerted me on time, we wouldn't have hidden faster.
Luckily enough, the teachers posted here are all Omegas. Else, they would have detected the scent of another Alpha.
Fan let us out of the Dorm through a hidden door I never knew existed until today. He turned to me and winked, with a devilish smile on his face.
"Where are we going, Strawberry?" Storm asked. Though he doesn't sound scared, I know he's worried.
"We are looking for Ray." I folded my arms and glanced around the place. Fan brought us out to the spring next to our dorm. I was worried about the authentication of his claims about knowing where Ray was, but there was no way I can ask him that. Not in the presence of Storm.
Aside from the chirping of crickets, and the occasional sounds coming from the dorms, there is nothing out here.
Yet, I didn't question Fan. I'm aware he knows what he's doing. There is no way he will lead us out here if he doesn't know where Ray is.
"Out here?" He glanced around before he sniffed. "Oddly enough, I can detect two Omega Scents. One smells like Pineapple."
I gasped, "that's Ray!" He's the only omega I know that has a pineapple scent.
"His pheromones smell like pineapple?" He scrunched his nose up before a frown graced his face.
"Why? Is there anything wrong with that?"
He shook his head, "it's just that I hate pineapples."
"How does that—"
"Brys, come on! We need to find him. He's closer!"
Fan's shout caused me to turn. "Let's go." I hastened after Fan, who was halfway across. I can't tell if it's all me, but I sense that he's adding in height.
Compared to when I first arrived in this comic, he has added. He's not as small as he was back then.
Storm ran after me while I hastened after Fan. My heart hammered in my chest at the thought that something bad might have happened to my friend.
Though I tried not to think of it, I couldn't help the thoughts that went through my mind. For him to be out here by this time of the night, it can't be something good.
Fan stopped a distance from where I was, and I hastened towards him. Storm ran ahead of me. "His scent is getting stronger!"
Just like Fan, he stopped at the same place. My heart lunged into my chest as my palms got sweaty. I gulped, already fearing the worst.
Out here, there's nothing but short trees and the spring not too far from where they stood.
"He's still breathing!" Storm called out to me. His voice rang out in the night air.
I heaved a sigh of relief. Though my heart was still beating fast in my rib cage, the thought of him being okay was enough to relieve me.
I closed the distance between us. The closer I got, the clearer things became. Ray lay on the floor, with his eyes closed, and his chest steadily rising.
I knelt in front of him and placed a palm on his chest. Aside from a few scratches on his face, and how tousled his hair is, nothing is alarming about his state.
"We need to get him back to your dorm. Though he's breathing, his body is gradually getting cold. He seems to have been out here for a long time." Storm said in a serious tone.
Since I got to meet him, I have never heard him use such a serious tone. He's always joking. But now, he doesn't seem like he's joking at all. His face is pulled off in a tight frown.
"Okay, help me carry him up. I don't think I can carry him."
If he were to be a female Omega, carrying him wouldn't be much of a problem to me. However, as a man, his weight is a bit too much.
Storm looked like he wanted to protest. His face morphed into a frown, but he didn't say a word as he carried him up.
The expression on his face said it all. He isn't happy about the task I gave him, yet, he didn't say a word about it.
He turned to leave, and I followed, eager to get Ray back to the dorm, and to his warm bed.
"There's someone else here, Brys." Fan called out to me before I could take a step forward. I stopped at the sound of his voice. "There's an Omega there." He pointed towards the small tree not too far from where I stood.
Without a word, I hastened towards the place, to check it out.
"Strawberry?" Storm called out to me. He must have noticed I wasn't following him like he thought I was.
"Fan said there is an Omega over here. I need to check it out." I continued going towards the tree. The nearer I got, the stronger the smell of blood became. It scared me as different scenarios flashed through my mind.
"Fan? Who's Fan?" He asked, sounding confused.
"I can perceive the smell of blood. Someone is here." I rounded the tree, only to stop dead in my tracks at the sight of an unconscious female Omega.
She's the same Omega I saw on the day I went over to Storm's dorm. Her black hair formed a pool around her head; however, it wasn't enough to hide the big gash on her head —though it was gradually closing, the loss of blood delayed her healing.
The white gown she's putting on is soaked through the abdomen.
"She's still alive, Brys, but not for long. You need to take her to the infirmary." Fan said behind me.
"Strawberry?" Storm called out to me. This time, he sounded nearer than he was when I came to check out who the wounded Omega was.
"There's a wounded Omega here." I carried her up from the ground and hastened towards Storm, who was coming over.
The moment he saw the Omega in my arms, an unusual expression passed through his face. It was so fast that I couldn't understand what it was.
"Let's go! We need to get them to the school. She has lost enough blood as it is." I hastened towards the school, with Fan close on my heels.
Storm was close behind me, but his footsteps were silent. I had to occasionally glance back to be certain he was still following me.
We saw no teachers until we reached the infirmary. I knocked on the door with my foot before a teacher stepped out.
"How dare—" Her eyes widened when she saw the Omega in my arms. "Oh, dear. What happened to her?" She placed a palm on her heart.
"We need to get them treated!" I gently nudged her out of the way and hastened towards the beds.
"Oh, that's right!" The teacher clapped and more nurses came out from the cubicles, each hurrying towards us.
Storm and I placed the victims on the bed before we were pursued out of the place by the nurses who went about doing their jobs.
