The Dark Side of Fate

113 Poison

We all went to the infirmary to give Devin our support. He wasn’t in the clear yet. The shot was given to him to trick his body into believing he was fine. Until whatever was in his system was nullified, we could not rest.

We entered the room, he was kept, and Susan was beside him. She looked very pale, holding his hand with tears streaming down her face.

I could see confusion and fear in her eyes. She must feel helpless.

"Please help him, Claudia," She told Claudia, and Claudia tried to calm her down.

I had to commend the doctor for her ability to keep calm and do her work.

Her mate had been in the accident too. It was a miracle that she could think and function. Vino was with us, and I knew it was best he remained there so Claudia could see he was fine. Amelia held on to me tightly.

Tamia and Sylvester walked in, and Taima rushed to me to check.

"Are you all right?” she asked, and I nodded.

She turned to look at Devin and went to stand beside Susan.

"He will be fine," She said, stroking Susan's hair, and Susan got up, turned towards Tamia, and hugged her.

I heard her weep and realised the cruelty of fear and death.

This is what happens when we leave our other half behind.

Amelia would have been this way and maybe lost the baby from the shock had I been in Devin's shoes. It was a strong reality check.

Theodore joined us.

Claudia looked around, and it seemed she wanted to say something but did not want Susan to hear it. It was going to be impossible because there was no way Susan would leave the room.

"May I speak with you for a moment,’ I asked Claudia, allowing her to tell me whatever the matter was outside, and she nodded.

We stepped out of the room, and I noticed her hand was still trembling.

"I do not think I can help him. I do not know what is in his system. The shot I gave him will soon wear off, and I do not know what else to do from there. There is no lab here to carry out serious tests. We are handicapped,* She whispered with misty eyes, afraid for Devin. I did not know what to say.

I wasn't a medical practitioner, and this wasn't my turf. I called for Sylvester to join us. He would know what to do.

I covered my face and looked at the door leading to Devin's room. I wish I had magical abilities or special healing powers like in the movies. It would have been nice.
