- After that, the beast leaped towards me, but a soldier appeared and saved me. - Sara kept quiet and then went on. - After my mother's death. I was taken to an orphanage. Hoping that they could connect with a relative, but I was aware that they were not going to make it. The only conscious relative is my grandmother. She lives with one of my aunts and two uncles one is an alcoholic, and the other a drug addict. My aunt and grandmother already have enough with them. They would not be able to take care of me. The rest of my relatives are dead or in a coma.
I started smelling salt, Sara was crying, damn all I do is open old wounds, why do we always hurt the person we love, even if what we want is to help?
- I had been in the orphanage for a week when a person finally came for me, the soldier who saved me, my Major. - Sara turned to me. - He visited me several times. After he knows my situation, I adopt myself, then I comment on that and accept it.
- That's why Sara never disobeys him. - I finally Mike speak.
- He is my adoptive father. After my mother's death, everything changed for me, my world collapsed, but he supported me at all times. He is my pillar. Although I am not his daughter of blood he loves me as one and I love him as a father. - She stopped seeing me look at Mike.
- That's why I accept his decision not to let me go and see him. - Seeing him? - I Look at Mike for answers, but he shook his head for what better street.
Sara stood in front of me. She was crying, but her expression was serious. Her eyes showed no emotion. I came up with nothing but hugging her. She corresponded to the hug burying her face in my chest, everything she had to suffer at such a young age and all because of those damn bastards.
I was as calm as I held Sara in my arms until Sara's whole weight was on me, her eyes were closed, she upset me.
- Mike! - I yelled at him to pay attention to me. - I think Sara passed out. - Mention very upset and concerned.
As soon as I mentioned that Mike jumped up from the bed as I swelled up to go to bed with Sara on the floor, once Mike arrived he started taking his pulse, at that moment Paty came in, she had brought our food, as soon as she saw us throw the tray he was bringing out.
- Your pulse is unstable, as is your temperature and breathing. - I mention Mike as he quickly turned his hands away. It was at that moment that I was aware of the immense burning that I felt in my hands, but still, separate them.
Martha ran into the room, followed by Sandy and Priscila. Martha snatched Sara from us to load her up and run back with her, getting out of the halls, I didn't waste my time and got up to follow her, but Priscila stopped me from grabbing my elbow to crawl to bed sitting next to Mike.
- You will not go anywhere, first you will finish eating and tell us what happened. - Mike and I looked at each other. - Everything. - Finish Priscilla.
- Then Sara thought she saw her brother at the mall afterward, the hero a friend, and got into a fight with the men for that. - Priscilla took a break. After dragging us into the kitchen to eat, Priscilla and Sandy focused in front of us to begin the interrogation. - Then she went to her room, you followed her, and by making fate, I end up telling them the story of why she is here. - She ended while we settled. Priscilla sighs.
- All right, at least we're getting an idea of why Sara collapsed. - Mike and I looked at each other
- What do you mean, why to collapse. - We said at the same time.
Sandy sighed before answering. - Many emotions in a short time. - We look at her, confused. She sighed. - Remember that she is the Scarlet Demon. - We nod. - Bone that received the curse of the kisin, k'aasi ba'al, xulub k'aak'. - We nodded again. I still don't understand how she can pronounce it. If it were me, I would just say fire demon and already. - So her body is like a volcano, besides receiving the blessing of the animal god, as you have the ability of shape-shifting, and you could turn into something like what we know as a cheetah.
- Sara can't adapt fast to so much change. Because of the drastic changes she received from the curse and blessing. All the functioning of her body is different, just like you. The fact that Sara happened that is strong, besides having changed locations without proper preparation, the one that collapsed was a preventive way of her body, to prevent something more serious from happening. - Priscilla finished.
- Serious in what way? - I asked.
- As they might have noticed Sara's body temperature as well as her pressure, they were unstable. Sara always has to be calm and not have to be altered to prevent this once she is upset. Her body would take it as a sign of danger and start with the preventive system so that no harm happens to her. Her body would enter a trance state where she will sleep and raise her body temperature to the extent that any object or person nearby will die within seconds. - Priscilla paused, seemed to doubt whether to continue or not.
- But that wouldn't have affected us. - Interrupted Mike.
- It happened three months ago, in that battle, no one knows what happened when the reinforcements arrived they only saw Sara in the middle of everything, stained with blood when they tried to approach I attack them. They had to sedate it, it did not distinguish anyone, allies or enemies, all attacked them equally, they say that they could not approach by the heat emanating, and it was in half a metamorphosis. Their eyes were shaped like the feline, but they were red, where their hair was supposed to be only a cascade of magma, instead of nails had claws and these were stained with blood. - I speak Sandy with a crouching eye. - If the increase in her temperature does not work, so we can deduce from that incident, she goes to the second stage in which Sara wakes up, but attacks and destroys everything close, lose control, something happens that we thought was impossible her demon and animal merge. - Sandy looked up, which conveyed fear.
- But that doesn't mean that. - Do not finish speaking because Priscilla interrupted me.
- That's right. They have it in their sights, just like you, fortunately, your Elders managed to intervene in time, so they are here, obviously, we could not bring them to the five, that's why Alexander, Paula, and Karina are not, they try to keep them safe first and second, and see a justification believable enough to bring them here.
- Have a little slower, I do not understand anything. - Interrupted Mike.
- Look Sara managed to fuse her demon and animal. - I started explaining.
- That's not fucking. - He interrupted me. - Well yes and no, what I mean is that that's impossible, should I remind you of what happened to 18 and 19? - Mike started screaming, he was getting upset.
- That's why they've got her in their sights, they've got us in their sights, what part you don't understand. - I yelled at him back, it wasn't very mature of me, but he started.
- Nothing, I don't understand anything, it's impossible that, that can be done, remember it, they died because of that, it's too much power, we can't stand it, what the soldiers saw was a mistake, Sara I can't do that, she doesn't make it, she's not in the sights of those bastards, none. - Mike was increasingly upset, hit the table, and got up, but her head was down. - She's not going to die. - Mike started crying. - He can't, he won't, because he didn't, Sara won't die, and she won't let me. - Whisper for after passing out.
It was then that I remembered when Mike arrived with us he did not talk to anyone, first, he tried everything to join us, but nothing worked, he was always alone, he had his bubble that no one could enter, until one day we saw him with someone, with Sara, the two of them have always been inseparable, although today we are already united the five, they always have their little bubble, a bubble that no one can enter. Now I understand everything, they just have each other and Mike is afraid, afraid of losing the only person he has left.
