Edward grabbed the unconscious Jayden by the scruff of his neck and appeared next to the distant altar.
"Carla." He gently slapped Carla's cheeks, rousing her from her stupor.
"H-Hm? E-Edward…?" Carla blinked, trying to comprehend the situation.
"Take him and Sylvia away," Edward commanded with a sense of urgency.
"Eh-Jayden?!?" Carla's eyes widened in shock as she noticed Jayden lying on the ground. She hurriedly approached him, concern etched on her face.
"Take them away," Edward reiterated, his voice firm and unyielding.
"O-Okay, but…" Carla hesitated, glancing back at the approaching menace, Brandon.
"Take them away now," Edward's steely gaze sent shivers down Carla's spine, and she immediately complied. Using her wind powers, she carried Jayden and Sylvia away, making sure to treat Sylvia's injuries as she did so.
Once they were gone, Edward was left alone to face Brandon in the Garden of Eden.
