Emma cowered under the table, seemingly too afraid to move. But Sam stared at the man's wound, thinking, Fuse. His wound knit back together hastily, and "Emma" threw herself back into battle. Thanks, Sam, A familiar voice said in their head.
I should do something. But she was frozen, she couldn’t process what she should do.
(did Emma heal the wound of the man Aidan was fighting?)
(yep… that's her brother. but no one noticed… otherwise there'd be lots of questions)
(okay, I'll respond but I have to go soon)
Aidan watched as the man pointed a gun at him, noticing that the blood stopped seeping from the wound. What the hell? He slowly put his knife back in the holster on his belt. "Listen, I'm not going to cause trouble. Put down the gun."
(does anyone object to Aidan getting shot?)
(nope, but i am worried for him)
(Zack might stab him after that?)
(The brother, I mean.)
(I'm going to be gone for about two hours so I'll respond once I get back)
(Well I don’t want Aidan to die. QAQ)
(he won't die don't worry)
(Okie.)
The man didn't respond to him, but instead smirked back. He didn't say a word as he shot at Aidan. He tried to dodge the bullet, but of course that didn't work. The bullet implanted itself into Aidan's side, causing him to let out a small scream. Luckily, the bullet hadn't hit a main artery so the blood wasn't flowing out of his body too quickly. Still, it felt like he was walking through hell. Aidan collapsed to the ground, clutching his side and biting his lip to keep himself from yelling out again. He could feel himself slowly losing consciousness.
(Oh oh oh, can Ruby burn the attacker.)
(I think the attacker is "Emma's" brother so…maybe?)
(… well Ruby’s going to burn her friend’s brother… she’s a great friend…)
(alright go ahead I'm not complaining)
When Aidan got shot, Ruby finally got her sense back. Her first instinct was to burn the attacker, so she did. Green flames hugged the attacker. “Ah- that’s gotta hurt…” Ruby said tauntingly. After 10 seconds, the flames were gone, and the attacker was left with third degree burns.
(I can finally use my knowledge of burns.)
Aidan finally let himself close his eyes as he lay down on the floor. The smell of blood filled his nostrils and he could feel it seeping through his shirt and onto his hands.
(so basically emma's brother faked his death in the war like so many of the other Illeyitomes)
“Alright, who’s next?” Ruby asked darkly, summoning a fire on her palms, “And while someone answers me… someone call the emergency room.”
Aidan gave in to his mind, which was telling him to stop being so brave and to freaking fall asleep. He did just that, his body relaxing slightly as he slipped into unconsciousness.
Sam almost cried out in worry when Alex got burned, but there was no time to worry now. One of the attackers- Eleni, most likely- yelled in anger and fear. "You shall not get us!" she said, twirling her hand. A dark portal opened up beneath the four "terrorists," and they were gone.
"Emma" turned to Ruby in rage, and then stopped, remembering that they had to keep their identity secret, instead transforming her expression into worry. "Is he going to be okay?!" she asked, concerned. Her hands shook, not in worry over Aidan, but over Phoenix, as they got the bottle of high-tech glue from their bag. This boy didn't even deserve it! "Here. Pour this over the wound. It's a strong polymer that's going to dry instantly as soon as it's opened and slow the flow of blood,"
(Is she talking to Aidan?)
(to Ruby)
(alright)
“Alright.” Ruby said, and did as she said. She had a flicker of anger…
"Rubes, Aidan's losing a lot of blood!" Emma said as the emergency ambulance pulled up. The three could only watch helplessly as Aidan was taken away.
“Well, wanna go to the hospital?”
