CHAPTER HUNDRED AND SEVENTY-FIVE
“How does the child of two powerful ky’rhans look so… frail?” The Drak said in a strange language that I surprisingly understood just as Xavier ran into the closet to see what I was looking at.
The Drak had split the glass on the elevator and tears rushed to my eyes as I realized he'd hurt my baby.
“Stop, please, drop him,” I begged, my emotions overwhelming me.
“Oh, okay,” he replied with a smirk and I rushed closer to take Xander from him but he dropped him.
No, not gently putting him back in the warm incubator that he'd been living in for some time now. Not at all; the beastly Drak dropped my child to free fall to the ground and it made me so terrified that I unleashed everything inside me with a scream pouring out of my lungs.
“Ahhhh!!!” I yelled, holding my hands out as energy flowed out of my veins.
Then I realized I'd paused time somehow because everything was frozen, even the particles that flew in the air were on standstill.
I and Xander were the only beings in motion and I quickly got a hold of him, sending thunderbolts through the Drak’s blood stream.
I watched him dry up and die and I ran away from there, dragging Xavier with me.
I didn't know how to unfreeze everyone, the action having being done in a hurry and I could see that the freeze was only in here, the Draks outside were still running around their ships, preparing or waiting for something, I couldn't figure out what.
So I took Xavier to the Command room and discovered Draks had killed some of the engineers and were in the middle of doing more.
“Shit!” I exclaimed and dropped Xavier in his seat and materialized a cot for Xander and set about to killing as many as I could quickly.
It was obvious the time pause was draining me so much but I didn't know how to snap out of it and I was teleporting around the ship, flushing out Drakkonians from wherever they'd landed in the ship.
I'd killed about fifty of them before I realized they were about to bomb the ship again and I knew this would lead to more problems since I didn't have any way to protect the ship without the key.
I teleported back to the Command room and tried waking Xavier up but nothing was happening.
“Come on Xavier!” I cried, shaking him while ransacking my brain to figure out how to unpause the time here.
Then I remembered the link I had with Xy’thern in my mind. It had always been one sided, him having free reign to control my mind but it stretched further each day, giving me a bit of grip on him.
“I'm sorry, Xy,” I whispered as I pushed deeper into his mind.
It was my first time in the chaotic place that ruled Xavier Seth. And boy was it chaotic.
Then I heard the ship gets hit, knocking things all over the place but his shield held stronger than the first time even though he was out of control.
I knew that wasn't going to last long and the first barrier needed to be reinforced or we'd be in deep shit soon.
So I delved deeper into his mind.
Pain, pride and the heavy weight of responsibility drove the memories and decisions all around. But in the middle of them all was me and Xander. It warmed my heart that he didn't just love me with his heart but his mind as well.
Which made this quite easier.
I moved his hands and mind to unlock the key and placed it in my chest right on time to defend the ship against the next wave of shots.
And I couldn't even help getting knocked off my feet, my hands going out to steady myself.
I mistakenly caught Xander’s tiny hands and it was electrifying, setting my blood on fire.
I've never felt so powerful than in that moment. It was like I was coal and he'd poured lava all over me.
Now I understood why Xavier thought he could defeat these men all alone. The power in my veins were making me float.
Then I looked down at my son who was sleeping soundly, the tiny oxygen mask on his face helping him breathe.
He looked healthier, stronger even. Maybe that incubator wasn't good enough for him.
With my newfound powers, I rounded up the remaining Draks in the ship, keeping one in tight bonds, so Xavier could torture him and figure out what their plans were.
I wanted to sit still and figure out how to get this time thing out but their attacks were getting more rampant and mindless honestly.
I wasn't like Xavier that was fast healing; I healed faster than any human or ky’rhan but his was on a whole different level.
So I couldn't risk it.
So I sat on a next chair next to my husband, baby, the engineers and a bunch of dead aliens and kept repelling attacks, repairing the ship and trying to make sure I didn't burst out in tears.
I thought about dropping Xander off with Roe but this time pause crap had me in a tight place. I needed to give her instructions on how to keep him safe before diving back into a war that shouldn't even be happening in the first place.
I had gotten the machine guns ready and loaded, increased their efficiency and kept the ship flying, increasing the speed but it was fifty times as big as our pursuers so it was really easy for them to keep up.
“Ughhh!!” I groaned in frustration and confusion.
I took in a deep breath as I began getting weaker from over exertion.
My eyes were closing even though I tried to force them open. I could have touched Xander again but I felt terrible using my son as a powerhouse.
But then, before I blacked out completely, I saw Xavier’s finger twitch.
Then I did the same thing he'd done and strengthened the ship as much as possible with almost all of my remaining strength.
Then used the last vestiges of it to write him a letter.
“Control my mind to take back the key. Don't touch Xander.” The note read.
And then everything went black.
