Free Possessed by Kayla Smith Page B

usable,” he answers. Jeffrey walks across the room and opens a cage, throwing in John like a sack of potatoes.
    “John!” I say as I run to help him up.
    “Alana, please don’t be so naïve to think that I would put you both in here alive. He is dead- or at least on the verge of death. He cannot hear you and once he dies and you return above you will die as well. Yes, I am well aware of your connections to your mates,” he says as he vanishes from my cave-like cell.
    There is a lifeless John in my arms. “Oh no! God, please don’t let him die!" I say, holding him and kissing his forehead as I rock him in my arms. I stop when I hear Rebecca. Is she here? No, this is in my head. My Wolf! My Wolf’s powers work down here! I can send her a message.
    “Rebecca, I’m in the Underworld! Jefferey has John and I in a cell- it looks like a cave. There are no windows and my powers don’t work. He did something to John. He’s weak, almost dead. I need to save him. Help me, what do I do?” I beg to her, sobbing through the bond.  I hope the bond works between worlds. Please, God, let her hear me. I can’t lose him, I can’t die. What about Destiny?
    “Alana? Can you hear me? Alana, we’re coming for you two. Send him to the infirmary with a spell. I’ll heal him before we go to get you," Rebecca transmits back to me.
    “Oh my God, yes, I can hear you! Okay, I’ll send him if you're sure it will work. How will we get out of here?” I ask her, worried that we will be stuck here forever.
    “With a potion- Sebastian and Justin are working on it now. Wyatt and Yashira are packing us weapons and other potions to help kill any Demon that gets in our way. Eva and Jorge are checking on all the wounded from the battle and, so far, there are no casualties.” She pauses for a few seconds and I feel her pain and struggle to tell me what she is about to say. “Alana, Milissa might turn into a Werewolf. I’ll explain everything after we get you out of there. Use the spell to send home John. I used one to send home all of the wounded that we had at the alley. I have to go and help the others get ready, we will be there to help you Alana, I promise. Don’t give up.”
    “Okay,” I say. I quickly send John to the infirmary with a spell, but I then I yell through the bond: “WAIT! Check on Annie. It’s an illusion!” Before I can explain, I feel something hit my head and everything goes black again.

    An illusion? How is that possible? Jeffrey is a smart Demon. I figure that he knocked Alana out for sending John out of the Underworld. He was probably hoping that we wouldn't realize that our Wolf powers still work, including the bond. Lucky for us.
    John is really weak, teetering on the line of life and death. I put my hand on him to heal him and I feel a spark- it feels like a shock of electricity but I keep my hand in place. I use as much of my energy as I can to get his heart to beat a little bit faster. “Put a spell around the bed to protect him. If he is possessed again it will keep him in control of his own body. The carvings and spells around the bed in my room helped me gain control of my body, so maybe it will work for him too; I don’t want to take the chance of him getting possessed again while I’m gone,” I say to the remaining members of my Covenant. I grab my bag and walkout of the infirmary.
    In the hall I unpack the gear from the last battle and proceed to shove the necessary potions and weapons into every possible pocket. There are daggers and blades of all sorts on the belt around my waist. I chance a check on Alana and I can tell that she's still alive, just not awake.
    Sebastian is in the hall packing with me, too. “She said it’s an illusion. But I don’t understand what she’s talking about,” I say to him as I tie my boots tighter. I grab my knotted, messy hair and pull it back into a tight ponytail.
    “Well, conjure Annie, then. Focus on her, not where she is. The real one
