บท 300: The Way Back

      Thunder shook the sky as the storm grew closer and the wind whipped through the trees.  Helena took Delaney aside to tell her what she would need to do to save Vincent while Daniel spoke to the men about the journey back to Edgewood.

      "I know you won't like this," the witch said with an apologetic expression, "But you will have to hold the tooth in your hands and press it into one of his wounds."

      "So I will st-stab him with it?"

      Helena sighed and nodded, "I'm sorry but you have to.  You need the tooth to get inside him so it can pull the poison out."

      Delaney swallowed hard and nodded, looking down at her hands and wondering if she was even strong enough to do such a thing.

      "Once you've pushed it down into him it's going to hurt him and likely you as well," the witch continued, "But you have to hold it in as long as you can.  The longer you hold it the more poison it can pull out of him."
