Kat's POV
I could feel tingles erupting all over half of my body while I lay on something comfortable and warm. My body ached and my head felt like someone was trying to split it like fire wood. I groaned out as I tried to move my body and instantly the tingles shifted positions.
"Careful my love, you are going to be sore and weak at first. Your body has been through hell and back." Cade says right next to my ear. I let out another groan as my body protests to any and all movement. Cain immediately helps me to a sitting position on the edge of the bed.
"Why do I feel funny?" I whispered out in a hoarse voice. It didn't hurt or anything so I don't understand why I can't talk properly.
"Baby, you are no longer possessed by the demon, but during the exorcism Draven accidentally removed your element. You have passed out from lack of energy for just over two weeks." Cain hesitated while waiting for my reaction; it didn't fully register at first. My mind was still a little groggy from being so weak.
"So I... wait does that mean... is that why I feel so weird?" I question feeling a bit better the longer I sit up. My stomach chooses the worst times to alert the world that I am hungry, and yes you guessed it right before Cain can answer my questions my stomach lets out a vicious roar. Cain chuckles at me as I smile a bit embarrassed.
"Let's feed you something before we go into details. Besides, Draven and Carmella will be able to explain things to you better then me." With that he kissed my cheek and picked me up bridal style and carried me down the hallway of the small cabin and into the kitchen.
As soon as we got near the kitchen I could hear Draven and Carmella whispering to each other. As soon as we got closer they abruptly quit and tried acting as normal as they possibly could. I tried my best to hold in my laugh at their actions, because as soon as we walked in they both had a guilty look on their faces that screamed 'hand caught in cookie jar'. I stifled my giggles by snuggling closer into Cain's chest and inhaling deeply, allowing his scent to calm me down.
"Kat, we have some things to discuss." Draven states, not wasting any time pussyfooting around. I just nod my head indicating for him to continue as Cain made me a plate of food.
"We did manage to expel the demon, but there were more then one problem that arose. First we accidentally took your element and trapped it in the mirror. But Draven spoke to someone more experienced then us and it is a simple task to return it to you." Carmella quickly explained trying not to go into too much detail, yet still tell me the truth. Draven cut her off and continued to explain things to me.
"The other problem that arose, the demon Belial did not stay contained in the mirror we used for him. We aren't sure how that happened because Carmella had sealed the mirror before he had any chance to escape. But upon inspecting the mirror his spirit is loose. We do not know where he is so the pack members could be in danger. I am not sure what he will do being as he is free, but with the help of your pack Carmella and I can do a perimeter spell that will exile Belial but it will only work if he is in his spiritual form." Draven hadn't looked up from his plate the entire time he spoke; I knew he was blaming himself for this mishap. He went quiet as if deep in thought over something, so Carmella continued with the information on this spell.
"If Belial is in spirit form this spell will expel his spirit out side of your territory, where we will hopefully be able to manipulate his path so we can catch him before he fully disappears, but that is not of your concern. What is of your concern is if Belial has already possessed someone else, if he has then this will bind that person inside the barrier. Which will in turn make it easier to find him but at the same time it is not safe for the person he has taken over. It could be the cause of their death." Carmella looked down and avoided eye contact when she said he could cause the death of one of our pack members. I wasn't sure what to think, this was a lot of information to take in at once. I turn and look at Cain to see him deep in thought as well.
"What do you think hun?" I ask him through the link.
"I don't want any one to die because of this thing but if we don't do anything then it is possible that the demon will try and posses you again or even one of the other elementals. We can't risk it, we need them to do the border spell." Came his response after a bit of hesitation.
I could feel through our bond that he wasn't sure him self, yet at the same time he knows that something needs to be done to prevent a massacre with in the pack.
"Ok then its settled." I stated out loud, causing everyone to look up at me. "We will help do the border spell and find the demon. If it comes down to killing a pack member we will find another way. No one is going to die on my watch." I state with as much courage as I can muster, trying my damndest not to let my voice waver as I speak.
The rest of the meal was blanketed in silence as everyone was deep in their own thoughts. I refused to let anyone die because of this demon, I just hope we can get to him in time and banish him from our territory. Once I finally finished eating, I took the other dishes and started washing them, Cain came and helped but we were still shrouded in silence. I could feel the tension through our bond and it was radiating off him in waves.
"Cain, it will be ok hun. I promise." I walk over and wrap my arms around his neck and out of instinct Cain lifts me up wrapping my legs around his waist and puts his nose into the nape of my neck, deeply inhaling my scent to try and ease his worry.
"Something is wrong babe, I can feel it. I just.. I just don't know what or who." Cain whispers into my ear. I shudder at the intimacy of the act yet I know Cain is not trying to turn me on.
"We will face what ever is to come. As a pack we are strongest. They are all behind you, supporting you and looking up to you. You have me as well helping you. We will face what ever comes our way. We will ALL succeed or we will all fail, which ever happens we will do it together Cain." I pull his face so he is looking me straight in the eyes as I say this. I can see the determination coming back into his eyes as he leans foreword and kisses me passionately, pulling a moan from me as his tongue explores my mouth. This kiss melts both of our worries and I can feel how turned on Cain is. He grinds himself against my core causing me to moan and a deep vibrating growl comes from Cain.
But before we can get too heated we hear someone from the door way clearing their throats, kind of awkwardly. Cain and I pull apart but he doesn't set me down, his grip tightens on my thighs causing me to yelp out a bit. My face heats up and I bury my head into Cain's neck.
"Before you two decide to deflower my kitchen, we should deal with Kat's element before we do the border spell." Draven's gravelly voice spoke and as quickly as he showed up, he disappeared into the basement area where everything had happened.
Giving Cain one more quick kiss I hop down out of his arms and head the same direction as Draven with Cain hot on my heels. Once down stairs I see Carmella and Draven standing over a mirror with a hammer.
"Ok so my mother said if you have bonded with your element then she will know how to get back to you. Kat have you bonded with her?" He asked as soon as I was down stairs.
"Yes, I was the one to take control and over power her when we first learned I was the air elemental. Camira had taken control and my wolf and I had to fight her for control again. After that we became as close as my wolf and I." I told him of that scary time when I didn't know exactly how powerful I was.
"Good, here is the hammer, just break the mirror and say, 'Camira the spirit of the wind, I call to you to come foreword and reunite us as one.' All you have to do is say that and she will recognize you as her master." With that Draven, Carmella and Cain left me alone.
I take a deep breath and raise the hammer over the mirror, hesitating a bit just so I can remember what I was supposed to say. Once I thought I knew what to say I lowered the hammer and smashed the mirror. As soon as the first crack was instilled on the mirror the wind picked up in the basement and my hair started to fly all over the place. I could feel Camira's powers swirling around the room, surrounding me in a cocoon of air. I just stood there enjoying the feeling of the power surging around me. I almost forgot what I was supposed to do until I heard a woman's voice floating around me.
"I am Camira, the air goddess. Thank you for freeing me." Her powerful voice came from every direction. Remembering what I have to say I start to speak.
"Camira, the spirit of the wind, I call you to come foreword and reunite us as one." I called out as loud as I could. I could feel her powers intensify, as if I angered her.
"Thank you for the offer human, but now that I am released I will never be contained again." Camira started laughing maniacally and I could feel her power surge.
"No, we are meant to be as one. I call upon you Camira, spirit of the wind, to bond with me once again. You are not complete without my bonding." I focused on the feeling that I had when I was in control of Camira. I focused on the bond that we had formed just like my wolf and I. I could also feel my wolf calling upon her bond with Camira.
"I will not become...." And with her sentence cut short I could feel the power flowing through my body once again. I felt whole and content especially when I could feel Camira in my mind, with my wolf where they both belong.
"Forgive me for forcing you Camira, but we belong together and that is what had to happen." I spoke to her.
"I was free for the first time ever. It felt odd yet so refreshing. But you are right, we are fated to be together and I should not fight that bond. No matter what." Camira comforted me with knowing that I was right, she wouldn't fight me now.
Before I could speak any words I felt something push me to the floor and I hit my head on one of the metal tables. I could feel blood escaping from where I hit my head but my body was paralyzed. What the...The world around my vision started to spin and blur together. I used the last of my energy to turn around and I couldn't seem to see anything. Slowly the pounding in my head hurt so bad that I closed my eyes, that was a mistake because it didn't take long for darkness to take over. But before I could fully pass out, I heard a rough voice speak in my mind.
"You and your kind will all perish, and I will make sure of that you disgusting elemental." The voice hissed.
