BXBX NOVEL Chapter 78 To Breathe
"Alix, you can get on yours too," Eliza said as Alix clutched his chest and began to breathe heavily.
\'Alix, what\'s the matter?\' Eliza questioned as they watched him fall to his knees, and Adora\'s eyes widened as she jumped off the fox and ran to him.
"How bad is it hurting, Alix?" She questioned, and he stared at her, unable to speak.
"Damn, I should have been more cautious," she complained.
"What\'s the matter with him?" Ayden asked as Adora grabbed his hand, wrapped it around her neck, and sighed.
"Sorry, this is my fault; guys, go about your say; I\'ll take care of him," she said as the wolf and fox disappeared.
"Will he be all right?" Eliza questioned, and Adora looked at him, aware that the darkness in his heart was growing and that if she didn\'t find a way to remove it, it would cause serious harm to Alix.
"He will be fine, I\'ll see you guys later," Adora said as a blue hole appeared in front of her and she went in, then it closed and the others looked at each other, worried about the boy\'s well-being.
"Well, I do have other things to attend to, so I\'ll see you later," Kyris stated.
"See you later," Olivia replied, and they all parted ways, while Adora reappeared in her room and gently placed him on her bed.
"You will be fine, try to take a deep breath," Adora said as she locked her room door and looked at the boy who was struggling.
"I- I can\'t," he said quietly as she sat beside him and placed her glowing hand on his chest, directly above his heart.
"It\'s spreading more, which is why you\'re having trouble," she explained as she closed his eyes, removed her mask, and leaned in close to the boy.
"Sorry, Alix," she said as she took a deep breath then kissed him and he was about to open his eyes when he realized she wasn\'t wearing her mask and felt her pushing air into his body.
"Try taking a deep breath now," Adora said as she raised off of him, then placed her mask on and removed her hand from his eyes.
"Take it slow," she said as he gradually began to breathe, then finally took a deep breath and smiled at her.
"Thank you," he said and she lowered her head.
"You have the team match the day after tomorrow, Alix; you will get through it, but if that darkness remains in your heart, you won\'t be able to win against the captain," she replied, and he sighed.
"I am sorry... I just needed to-" He mumbled, and she smiled as she looked at him.
"Get some rest, don\'t move," she advised.
"I\'ll go home," he said as he was about to stand up, and she gave him a stern look.
"I said don\'t move, stay until you get a hold of yourself, don\'t make me hit you," she replied and he scoffed.
"You truly are something else," he said as he placed his head on her pillow.
"Do you normally wear a mask in your room as well?" he questioned and she turned on the television.
"No, I don\'t," she said.
"I am invading your space," he explained.
"Not another word of that, I will kill you myself if that darkness doesn\'t," she replied, and he smiled.
"You can be quite frightening at times," he admitted.
"I know," she said, then sat down on the couch with her back to him and removed her mask, allowing her hair to fall beside her face.
"I am not going to look," he said, turning away.
"What kind of being are you? You can be extremely mean and you can also be a gentleman and at times," she said this and he chuckled as he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
"He is already asleep, but I need you to look at him," Adora said as she opened the seal and her body began to glow red.
"What is it?" questioned the thing within her.
"How can I help him? I require specifics "She said while staring at him as he slept.
"You know, this is going to be difficult even for you, that darkness is a seal to his power, which is very dangerous, it was put there for a reason, it can be destroyed with my powers, I am of darkness too, it will take a lot of energy out of you, but it\'s possible, after taking it out he will feel a new found energy in his body, which will eventually lead him to unlock his undiscovered powers, are you going to be okay with this?" It questioned.
"Do you believe I\'m right about him being one of them?" she asked.
"Yes, I believe you are, Adora, I am an ancient being, I know you are correct, but this will cause problems, they will see him as a threat, will you stand by his side then?" It inquired, and she smirked.
"Of course, I will, he will assist me in getting what I want, I have to take control one day," she replied.
"Now that you have your answer, you can begin removing the darkness from him the day before his match with the captain, and you will have your full energy back or probably more one hour later, is that good?" it asked.
"Perfect," she responded.
"Good, seal me away again," he said and she smiled then closed the seal.
"Good thing I gained a lot of power on my own, I will make sure whoever killed my mother pays for it, my dreams will lead me to the culprit who did all of this, hopefully, I am doing the right thing and helping Alix doesn\'t become a mistake, I cannot let anyone find out what\'s in his blood for now, once he wins the match against the captain, questions will be raised but I don\'t care, I will let them have him," she said before putting on her mask and going to get something to eat because she was hungry.
