The Wolf In Me

Lylah's POV

Nelly was by the window watching the dramatic fighting and sometimes I could hear her whisper something and raise her hand.

"How's it going down there?" I asked startling her.

"Oh, you scared me there for a minute." She chuckled, taking two deep breaths. "Don't you need more rest?" She asked smiling at me.

"I think I am doing quite well thanks to you. See? They also removed the ventilator so I can breathe on my own."

I tried to stand up but my body almost collapsed on the floor. Luckily Nelly was fast enough to catch me before I fell.

"Guess not enough to walk," I said giggling.

"That's ok. Keep resting. You are not fully healed yet as I said." She smiled as she moved my last leg back under the bedsheet. "There."

She turned back to look outside. "One vamp at a time. I'm doing all I can to help," She explained.

I was quiet at first then I thought I should help her out. "Kiy, kiy e os ta a aley dea, te do belon to plenne eah. No su no ligh wiy ki te awae, kiy te oe tat a wiut fath," I said repeating again and again.

"No Lylah, you are not ready yet," she said angrily, frowning at me.

I ignored her and carried on, trying to hold on as much as my body could. As soon as she figured out I wouldn't stop chanting the spell, she hurried by my side, took my already open arms and she started to chant with me. We kept at it until my body felt too weak to continue.

"I can't... I can't," I said breathlessly.

I knew I did all I could but I felt bad for not being able to help any more than I already have.

"You have done the best you could. It's fine. I can continue what you have started. Now rest".
