Chapter 22
Bridget pov
Taking Bron’s hand as the guys left the room I feel her power she keeps compressed being let out. As the last of the group pass through the door it slams shut behind them locking in place. Bron looks to me “I need to use some of your energy and since your now an oracle you have more than the others and the goddess won't let your power be drained as I try and break the curse on the envelope.” I just nod knowing if she is asking for my help it is needed and I will help any way I can. The only reason I knew there was a curse was a fast vision of Danial falling to the ground in pain.
Her grip on my hand got tighter and I feel my energy flowing from me to her. Closing my eyes to keep the room from spinning as she pulls what she needs from me. I can hear her speaking but I can't make out the words. I concentrate on breathing through my mouth as I already made the mistake of taking a deep breath through my nose and just about lost anything I had sitting in my stomach. I can feel the pressure in the room change again pushing down on me. If it were not for Bron I think I would have fallen face first in the mess. I feel her tug me forward to get closer to the envelope. The closer I got a feeling of dread came over me. I don’t know how the guys didn’t feel it they were so close to it. Daniel had almost touched it and yet he felt nothing. The closer she pulled me to the center of the room the stronger it got. I felt like all the light was being sucked out of me. All my happiness was now gone. Death was calling me to his embrace placing feather-light kisses along my neck making me shiver in disgust at his lips on my skin. The temperature in the room dropped to a bone chill making me feel I will never be warm again. Just as I can feel the life draining from my body leaving me as just a shell a sudden rush of warmth coats me. A musical voice in my head begins to sing a song of love. Begging me to hold on just for a while longer as my journey has yet to start.
Lost in the loving sounds of the voice I forget about what is going on around me. All of a sudden there is a sharp stinging pain in my hand and I can feel the blood running down my arm. Opening my eyes I see that Bron has raised our joined hands over our heads. Her nails dug into my hand so hard it was drawing blood. She is still chanting words I cant understand. Her power has filled the room making the air thin and hard to breathe. She pulls my bleeding hand over the envelope letting my blood drip off my hand to the white envelope. The second the drop hit it a black cloud rose. The smell of sulfur is strong in the air along with the scent of decay from the bodies that are all around. Whoever did this has a very dark witch or a dark coven helping them. I had heard tells of a dark coven but I thought it was only stories to scare the pups into behaving. The second drop of my blood hits it and I feel like I was just punched in the chest. Gasping to breathe as it knocked the wind out of me. I don’t know how much longer I can take this when I see Bron slice her hand letting a drop from her hand follow mine to the envelope that is now covered in a black cloud. Once her blood touched bright white light blooms from the center of the cloud. The light is so bright it's blinding and I have to close my eyes. With my eyes closed, it feels like the sun is in the room with us.
Not only was the air in the room thin from the pressure now the room was getting hot. I can feel the sweet start to form at my hairline, running down my neck along with my spin. I start to feel like I am choking my free hand coming to my neck looking for what is cutting my air off, but there is nothing there. Panic is starting to rise in my chest. Just as black dots start to dance in my eyes a loud boom sounds around me, through me. All at once, the air is back to normal and I am gulping up the air. As soon as my breathing calms down I open my eyes and see that I am not the only one trying to catch their breath. The room still smells of death but the feeling of dread is no longer here.
Bron lets go of my hand and take a bag from her pocket along with a black silk cloth. Laying the cloth over the envelope she picks them up and puts them in the bag. “there is still more that needs to be broken on this but now I can take it back to the packcoven and get the others to help break it. Thank you for lending me your strength.” Bron tells me I just wave it off shes my sister anything she needs she knows ill give. With that, she disappears and the door flies open. Daniel is the first in closely followed by Liam and Noah. All three have looks of concern on their faces. Liam grabs me pulling me to him before the others could touch me. “bridge what happened and where is Bron?” Liam asks I try and tell him but he has me smashed against his chest all they can hear is mumbles “oh my goddess she cant talk what happened what was that boom?” Noah freaks out. “I’m sure once her brother lets her go she will be able to tell us what happened my love.” Daniel tells Noah making everyone look at the way Liam is holding me. “oh yeah sorry” Liam says as he lets me go.
I tell them what happened, what I could see, and how it felt once they notice the envelope was no longer there I had just got to the point where Bron took it with her to get the other witches to help break all the spells on it.. whoever did this didn’t count on having a strong Luna witch with Daniel and they didn’t count on Daniel having an oracle so close to him. Since we can do nothing with the envelope until we are back at the shadow pack and the spells all broken we start collecting our lost wolves and the humans. Danial asks me if there are enough pack funds to send to the human families to help with what they do to send their loved ones off. I just nod my head knowing I still am finding more hidden accounts with lots of money in them from both the green lake pack and the blood moon pack. Those alphas were very sneaking and greedy. They spent very little on their packs and hide a lot for themselves. I have been pulling all the green lake pack money to one place for now so when it is all collected I can set up the proper accounts. So far Danial has only spent the money on the wolves in the green lake and the pack land. His wanting to help the humans who lost loved ones to this shows he is starting to be a great alpha. He thinks of others first. I have yet to see him spend any of the money on himself not even for new clothes which he needs, but he refuses saying it's not for him the money is to take care of the pack not him. The clothes that kade and James gave him still work just fine. I might just have to buy him clothes so that he has more than three pairs of pants and four shirts but for now I will let him do as he pleases. Maybe one day he will take the bank card I tried to give him.
