Chapter 14 - She was supposed to be human

"Wait, let me help." Camille walks out, opening the back door as she helps Vis out, and an old man gasps, rushing to them. "Don't worry, Uncle Kim. He is healing." Camille says, as the old man helps Camille bring his son inside. 

"What happened? How did the accident happen?" Kim asks, Phillip sighs, "Seems like they were attacking Luthien again."

"My god, is he okay?" Kim asks, peeking inside, he frowns, finding someone else along, "Who?" He looks at Camille. 

Camille shrugs, "Heard she is an employee."

Phillip helps Luthien against his shoulder, Camille lets Kim deal with Vis and walks back to the car as the other two carry their sons inside, Camille helps Sierra out, concerned and struggling a little, making her way inside.

Phillip puts Luthien on the couch and walks out, helping Camille bring Sierra inside.

"Uncle Kim, inform our doctor. They need medical attention." Phillip says, "I already did, Luna called beforehand." Kim says, Phillip nods, smiling at Camille, "You should rest, honey."

"No, I can't bring myself to leave them." Camille says, sitting on the couch beside Sierra, "What do you think this is about? If what Cris said was true… she is… we need to know." Camille looks up at her husband, who nods his head.

"But, it's a good sign that she seems connected to him." Phillip speaks, sitting beside Luthien, checking his wound, "Look at him, he is healed…"

"This girl… saved them?" Kim asks, Camille nods her head.

"Seems like that, she was possessed, as per Chris." Camille chuckles, shaking her head as she tucks Sierra's hair back. A few people rush in, "Oh my!"

"It was true…"

"I also heard… about the accident."

"Is he okay, alpha?"

The questions and comments flow out continuously, and Phillip nods his head, "Currently, he is out of danger."

"What happened?"

"Yeah, how did this happen?" And the questions yet, continued.

"It's not unknown that Luthien has been receiving these attacks..." Phillip speaks, "Yeah, this is growing more serious." Kim adds.

"But, I am looking into it. Uncle Kim, please inform the community of the sudden meeting. I want the head of the house present in our mansion, sharp 9 pm." Phillip says, Kim nods his head, "Will do, Alpha."

"Then, we will see you tonight, Alpha." They say that, few are already walking out.

"Hmm." Philip acknowledges, nodding his head.

Once the group disperses, Camille speaks, "Honey, think again. Luthien won't like you bringing the topic back again." 

Phillip sighs, "But… honey, it's important. He needs a mate." 

Camille looks at her son, "Didn't stop him though… It's like pushing him to the edge. Look at him, doing god knows what on his own." Phillip puts his hand on her shoulder, and Kim leaves them be as he helps Vis to a room.

"I know… but he is our only son. We need to protect him."

Camille heaves out another sigh, "But… just, don't do anything without consulting him, okay?"

"Don't worry. I will just take consultation from everyone on this matter before coming to a decision." Phillip says, Camille nods, "Let's take them to bed, and why is the doctor still not here?" She says, huffing as they both help Luthien and Sierra to one room, laying them down on either side of the bed.

"This will be okay, right?" Camille asks, chuckling. 

Phillip chuckles, "Honey… Do you think we should just have her married to him?" 

Camille widens her eyes, grinning, "I was thinking that too… but we don't know her yet, let's see." 

Phillip nods his head, "We need to figure her out, but… if she protects him, then keeping them together will be a good thing." 

Camille chuckles, "Let's just watch for now. I wonder if he will be okay with us thinking about it." Phillip nods his head, putting the cover over them, "Look at how she was holding onto him…" Camille adds.

"I know… I was scared when I heard about the accident, but… whatever happens, happens for a reason." Phillip says, Camille nods, walking to him as she hugs, "I had my heart at my throat… no wonder." 

Phillip chuckles, "He will be fine, he is strong." 

Camille nods, "Alpha! Luna!" They hear, rushing out, and Kim walks towards them, "Vis… he gained conscience." The couple nods their head, rushing with Kim, "Uncle Kim, did you really call the doctor?" Phillip asks, making their way towards the room Vis was in.

"I did, really." He mumbles, taking his phone as he makes a call again while the couple walk in, "Vis, son… how are you?" 

Vis shifts a little, "Alpha… Luna." he tries to sit up, but they shake their head, gesturing him to rest, "You are healing, kid. Stay laid." Phillip says, smiling as they settle on either edge of the bed.

"So, what happened?" 

"Alpha…" Vis gulps, "We were returning… suddenly, I noticed a truck was following us. I tried to escape but…" Vis gulps, "I couldn't… Is he okay?" Vis asks.

Phillip nods his head, "He is healed, and so are you…just rest. You will be back on your feet in a day." 

Vis smiles, "I will."

"Did you notice anything weird?" Camille questions, caressing his head.

Vis shakes his head, "Just… when I was losing conscience… I noticed two men, they were looking for him." 

"Luthien? You know why?" Camille asks, tilting her head.

Vis gulps, shaking his head, "No… I couldn't make much… but they were talking about his core." Phillip frowns, "What?"

"Maybe… I mistook." Vis adds, coughing, and Camille stands up, grabbing the mug as she pours a glass full, helping him drink, "Honey, let's have him rest first, we can talk about it later."

"No, I am fine." Vis says, blinking his eyes as he drinks, Phillip smiles, "No, she is right. Take rest." Both of them stood up and walked to the door where Kim stood. "He was in an emergency, he said. He is on his way." Kim informs. 

Phillip nods, "Hopefully he gets here, I am growing impatient." He comments.

"Let's just wait outside, they are healed." Kim says, "Hmm, I will make tea." Camille says, walking towards the kitchen as Kim follows Phillip outside as they settle on the porch, talking about the incident.

Inside the room, Vis falls into slumber as he continues to heal.

While Luthien slowly stirs, his brows furrow as he slowly blinks his eyes open. He groans, grabbing his head as he massages his temple, breathing ragged.

He blinks his eyes open, and he finds himself in his familiar room. His frown deepens, and groaning a little, he looks around, but his eyes widen, seeing her beside him. 

"What the -" He halts, turning towards her as his hand slowly settles on her cheek, he gasps, pulling his hand back, cursing under his breath, "Am I dreaming?" 

He shakes his head and pinches himself, yelping in pain, he blinks his eyes, "No… I am not."

He lies down, inhaling a deep breath, his hand still caressing her, he gulps, admiring her calm face, but then he suddenly frowns, "Why is she here?" 

He sits up, taking in his appearance, and he gasps, "Wait a minute…" He scans his body, taking in the blood-soaked and tattered shirt, his eyes find themself moving towards her, baffled. He sits on his knees, checking up on her.

"Sie… how did you get here?" He mumbles, seeing her fine, he sighs in relief, he slowly gets off the bed, but his eyes fall on her blood-tainted feet, he gasps. Kneeling, he caresses it, frowning. 

"What happened? I don't remember… seeing you there." He mutters, he stands up and walks around the room, going through the drawer in the nightstand, he pulls out a first aid box, he walks back to her, sitting before her legs.

He frowns, worried as he slowly grabs a cotton, "Ma!" He calls out, looking at her feet. Camille runs, gasping, "Son? You awake?" Watching him down on the floor, she sighs in relief, "How are you feeling?" 

"Good, Ma. Can you fetch me a bowl and water?" He asks, Camille nods, rushing out as she brings a bowl of water, Luthien frowns, his eyes fixed on her feet, "Ma… why is she here? In this state?" Luthien questions as Camille hands her the bowl.

"We found her in the scene, holding onto you." Camille says, sitting on the edge of the bed, Luthien looks up, "What? How?"

"Chris says she sprinted all the way there." Luthien gasps, "No way. She is just a human." 

Camille sighs while Phillip rushes inside, "Son?"

"It makes me wonder, too, dear. This is crazy." Camille says, Luthien looks at his hand, nodding his head, "I am good."

"Also. Son…" Camille starts, Luthien looks at her, "She… triggered your healing. That was more astonishing…"

"She did what?" Luthien gasps out loud, his eyes on Sierra, who lies still and unconscious, "No… You must be mistaken." He says, shaking his head. 

"For now, patch her up… when Chris gets back, we will talk in detail." Phillip says, patting his shoulder and gestures Camille to follow him out, Luthien gulps, looking at her feet.

"She… sprinted?" He mumbles, tracing her bruised feet with his fingers, his heart skipping a beat, he looks at her, "But… why?"

His eyes moisten, "Moon Goddess… what does this mean?" He mumbles, looking away as he composes himself.

"She was supposed to be just a human…" He starts, gulping as his eyes remain fixed on her feet, "but… what's this?"

"If not… then what is she?"
