Hayden comes to with a sharp inhale, sounds from the rest of the world still muted as a soft glow seem to emanate from behind his closed eyelids.
Then it hit, he curls into himself, his skin registering that he was held by someone but that fades away as well, getting buried under the heat.
It washes over him like a tidal wave, tiny pinpoints of excruciating pain that was just everywhere, his joints felt like they were being twisted out of their positions.
His muscles felt like they were getting torn, bones like they were shattering, he grinds down on his teeth, slight whimpers of pain breaking free.
Virgil notices immediately he rouses, the rest were still standing at the door, unsure of what to do next.
"Hayden?" Virgil leans forward to check up on him, frowning when he feels him tense up and curl in on himself like he was in pain. "Bab..."
A short scream cuts him off and the rest get alerted.
It's finally out! I know a lot of you have been theorizing this and yes, that's what the crescent moon tattoo was all about...
