It's been a week since Beth helped me but I've been sick since then. My body temperature dropped so I'm to cold and I keep throwing up blood. I can't use my powers to heat myself up because it makes me even more sick.
"Shiva? Are you in there?" I flushed the toilet just as the door opened. I put my hands on the sink and stared at myself in the mirror. One eye blue and the other all foggy.
"Come lay in bed." Mason said putting his arms around my waist. He set his head on my shoulder staring at me through the mirror.
"I don't want to throw up in the bedroom. I barely made it to the bathroom this time." I sighed.
"I'll get you a trash can then. You won't be comfortable staying in here." He started kissing my neck, sucking and nibbling leaving some marks. I let out a soft moan leaning my head to the side giving him more room. "Let's go." He grabbed my hand and pulled me back to our bed gently pushing me to sit down.
"Hey I got you some water." River came into the room holding a glass of ice water. I reached my hand out to grab it but River just put the glass to my mouth and slowly started pouring it into my mouth. I took a few gulps before he put the glass on the nightstand. He wiped my mouth and smiled.
"Thank you. You guys don't have to stay with me I'll probably just go to sleep." I yawned.
"We can stay with you until you fall asleep." They both climbed into the bed next to me. Their scents got stronger making me groan. I started coughing. More and more, until finally I leaned over to the trash and threw up again. I started crying once I finished. My throat hurts. Like stings.
"Okay relax. You just need to sleep." I turned around and just put my head against Mason's arm, while wrapping my arm around it. He brought his hand over and wiped the tears off my face. "I'm sorry this is happening to you." He said softly. His hand squeezed my thigh.
"It's fine just hopefully this stops soon." I closed my eyes.
"We'll talk to the witches tomorrow and see if they can find out what's wrong." He said moving my hair out of my face.
"Okay thanks for staying with me."
*•*•*•*•*•*
I woke up alone. I didn't feel like I had to throw up but I am hungry. I got out of bed and stumbled towards the door. I opened it and walked downstairs. I had to stop when I got to the end of the stairs because I was feeling lightheaded.
"You good?" Gray asked putting his hand on my chest like to keep me up.
"Just a little dizzy." I told him.
"Shouldn't you be in bed?" He joked.
"I'm hungry and Mason and River weren't there." I said started to walk towards the kitchen.
"Your freezing dude." He cringed.
"I can't use my powers right now." I sighed.
"Oh yeah Finley told me." He said once we got to the kitchen. I put my hands on the counter and took a deep breath.
"Why the hell are you out of bed?" I looked over to Mason and River panting. I looked at Gray and rolled my eyes.
"Snitch." I sighed.
"You should've mind linked us and we would've came back." Mason came over and grabbed my arm.
"I just wanted something to eat. I'm not a child you don't have to babysit me." I groaned.
"Your not a child but you've been throwing up blood for the back week so let's go back upstairs." He growled.
"I'm sick of being in there. Let me go outside." I put my arms around his neck and put my forehead on his.
"I don't think that's very smart. You just hurt yourself more." River chimed in.
"Don't worry we got a plan." We all turned to see Lucinda, Genevieve, and Hazel.
"We got everyone waiting outside all we need is Shiva." Hazel said.
"Oh thank god." River let out a sigh of relief.
"Okay let's go then." I smiled. I put my arms over Mason and Rivers shoulders so I could walk without wobbling so much. Finley, Beckett, and now Gray were standing in a circle with the rest of the hellhounds in the pack surrounding them.
"Alpha and Luna sorry but you can't help with this. Finley come grab Shiva." Lucinda said.
"Why can't we? He's our mate." River protested.
"All of them need to activate their powers to heat Shiva up as much as possible while we get rid of the spell on him." Genevieve explained. Finley came over to us and held his hand out to me.
"Be careful with him Finley." Mason whimpered.
"He's going to be fine guys don't worry." Finley said grabbing my hand. We walked to the middle of the guys and waited for further instructions.
"Okay Shiva, Finley, Grayson, and Beckett grab hands and stand in a circle. The rest of you don't let go of each other's hands since you are the ones keeping all the heat from escaping." Hazel said spreading out into a triangle with the other 2 witches. We all grabbed each other's hands and waited. I ended up laying my head on Finley's should since I was feeling tired.
"You okay?" He asked me.
"Yeah don't worry." I said.
"We're all here for you." Beckett said.
"I know and I love you guys for it." I smiled.
"Everyone start letting your fire powers out. As much as you can and don't stop until we say. Shiva you too."
"He gets sick from it." I heard Mason say.
"He should get to overwhelmed that he won't feel sick." Hazel told him.
"Everyone in the bigger circle do not let Shiva out of the circle. No matter what's happening he can't leave until we finish." Wow that's a spooky thing to say.
"Come on kid. It's easy right." Finley encouraged, fire came off from his body. I lifted my head back up and looked around seeing a huge fire start to form. I took a deep breath and activated my powers.
Hazel was right. With everyone's powers just completely surrounding me it's very overwhelming. Like it's to much.
The witches began chanting something. I suddenly got this super weird feeling. Like somethings wrong.
"H-Hey where's Percy and Toby?" I asked. They all looked at me with blank expressions.
"Probably at home." Gray shrugged.
"Don't lie to me. Wheres are my best friends? Somethings wrong I can feel it." I whimpered.
"Just wait until this is over." Finley said.
"Where are they?" I said using my alpha voice. They tried not to be affected by it but in the end they can't.
"Tobys in the hospital." Gray blurted out. My eyes went wide.
"Since when?" I growled.
"Yesterday." He said defeated.
"And you didn't fucking tell me!" I shouted.
"Damnit Shiva your sick why would we tell you your friend got hurt like." Finley snapped.
"It's doesn't matter. You should've told me immediately." I growled at him.
"You can barely leave your room so no I wasn't going to tell you." He scoffed.
"They are my fucking family you can't decide what I know and don't." I growled pulling my hands away from them.
"What's happening?" Hazel shouted.
"Toby is in the fucking hospital and you didn't tell me?" I hissed out.
"I told them not to." I looked over to Percy. He had tears streaming down his face. I walked to the edge of the circle and whined.
"P-Percy...?" I said quietly.
"Hurry so you can come see him." He gave me a half smile.
"Is it bad?" I asked already dreading any answer.
"Yes."
