"Garvin!!!"
Scarlett's eyes widened in alarm as Garvin's body went limp in her arms, his face pale and clammy. Cradling his head gently, she shook him slightly, desperation creeping into her voice.
"Garvin!" she cried, her voice trembling with panic. "Stay with me, please."
The others quickly gathered around her, their faces etched with a mix of fear and worry.
"What's happening? Why did he suddenly vomit blood?" Ryder asked, his voice tight with anxiety. His gaze dropped to Garvin's abdomen, his black top dripping with blood and his breath hitched. "Oh no... Was he stabbed?!"
Scarlett's eyes followed Ryder's and she quickly raise Garvin's top up, and her heart sank at the sight of the deep wound which was bleeding. Without wasting a second, she pressed her hands over the injury, summoning her fire and water elements. Flames flickered at her fingertips as she tried to burn away the toxin, while the water worked to soothe and suppress the wound.
