My heart drops as I turn to him and say "What? Infected how and we can't just leave him like that! He's in pain!" Bai Lei places a calming hand on my lower back and says "Infected with dark energy and we aren't going to leave him. I'm going to help him but I need everyone else to stay back. The others aren't strong enough to resist the dark energy but I don't know how it'll affect you and I don't want to take any chances." I bite my lip and nod my head in understanding as I say "Just hurry up and help him... be careful!" Bai Lei gives me a calm smile before walking over to the gates.
He scans everything once more before kneeling next to Ren. He reaches out to him and we instantly feel a pulse of dark energy released from him. I stand still and let the dark energy wash over me like a cold wave of water but the others all stumble back to get away from it.
