Chapter 70 : The Ancient City

*Eliza* "Jared! What’s happening, talk to me!"

I shook him trying to get him to open his eyes again.

My ears rang with his screams of pain.

What was happening to him? Was it because of this cave?

"What’s going on?" Abe asked, running back to us.

"I don’t…."

The air around Jared’s body quivered and bursts of dark energy flowed out of him, his power erupting around us.

This was not good….

"Jared…."

"Eliza, we’ve gotta get out of here," Abe said, grabbing my wrist.

I yanked out of his grasp.

"No, I’m not leaving him." I dropped to my knees and put my arms around Jared’s neck, hugging him tightly.

"Eliza!"

"He’s trying to fight it," I said.

I could see it in his face.

His eyes were closed, but every muscle in his body was tense beyond belief.

The struggle might have been internal, but he was fighting.

"Eliza…."

I snapped my head up.

That voice… some soft whisper in the darkness called to me.

Had I actually heard a voice or was I imagining things? "Eliza…."

No, I was definitely not imagining it.

I glanced at Abe, and he was just staring at me and Jared.

I didn’t think he’d heard the voice.

Did that mean…? I looked around the cave.

Suddenly, a young boy appeared from the shadows.

It was the same boy I’d seen before.

He moved through the cave shadows like he was part of them.

They concealed bits of his body, but I could always see his face.

"Eliza."

"I see you.What do you want?" I asked, hugging Jared’s neck tighter.

"I want to help you."

The boy pointed to Jared.

"Do you know how I can help him? Do you know what I need to do?"

I practically begged.

Seeing little boys hanging around with mysterious wisdom who didn’t seem visible to other people shouldn’t have been such a relief to me.

But if this kid could give me what I needed to help Jared, I wasn’t going to turn him away.

"Uhh… Eliza, what’s going on?" Abe asked.I shook my head, focused on the boy.

"Tell me!"

"It is simple, really.Just give him your blood."

"Give him my blood? What do you mean? Does he need to drink it?"

"What do you think?" the boy asked, grinning.

"Okay, I can do that.I’ll give him my blood." I looked at Abe.
