"Why isn't he breathing?" Helen panicked before patting Alex lightly, then hardly.
"Alex!" Helen screamed his name trying to get him to wake up but he was still.
"Come on Alex, wake up" Helen pleaded to watch her mate helplessly.
"You did all you could" Hematite speak trying to soothe her but she was in no way helping.
"Rite, if you are in there...please, please give me a sign...anything" Helen pleaded ignoring Hematite's words as she watched her tears keep falling on Alex's still body.
"Come on...Alexandrite!!!" Helen called out loudly and Alex coughed out the fire, earning a heavy sigh of relief from Helen who was now sobbing, she throw her arms around her mate's neck and hug him tightly.
"He's...he's healing...he'll need time" Rite spoke through Alex and Helen slowly released Alex realizing it was his Phoenix speaking through him.
"Is he gonna be alright?" Helen asked in concern and Rite nodded moving his hand up to clean Helen's persistent falling tears as he forced up Alex's body to sit and face their mate.
"He's going to be fine" Rite assured and Helen nodded and everyone heaved a heavy sigh of relief, Pearl who had also been sobbing stopped and forced a smile.
"I've never...I've never felt so scared" A tear slipped from Jasper as he spoke.
"I think literally, everyone was pretty scared" Helen sniffed as Alex helped her to her feet.
"Will you be able to fly back home?" Helen worried and Alex nodded.
"His body could do at least that, with him tapping into my energy...we'll reach home safely" Rite assured and Helen nodded stopping another tear from finding its way out of her eyes. They all spread their winds after Helen spread hers, then they followed her back home. It was then it started to occur to Helen what had happened in school when she passed out after placing her hand over Crystal's chest.
Helen wished she could talk to someone about it but she knew she'll have to reveal being drawn out her own body often...it then occurred to her she could tell someone without actually confessing that part to them; she was still making up her mind about who to talk to about the whole thing when she felt a hand on her exposed waist as she had put a new top, a crop top and grey sweatpants, while Alex was in the bathroom getting dirt of him but realising the hand around her waist, was wet have her the idea that probably, Alex was out of the bathroom. A kiss was placed on her head as the familiar shadow covered her, Helen slowly turn to face her mate but she knew it was Alex Phoenix controlling his body at the moment.
"I think you need some rest" Helen suggested but Alex only draw closer, briskly bringing her closer and making her flinch as he pressed himself to Helen whose breath grew ragged as Alex close proximity was starting to affect her., he lowered his head to her height and cover Helen's mouth with his while caressing her waist.
"Rite stop" Helen moaned as the feeling of want in her slowly grow.
"I don't think you want me to, I think you want me so badly princess" The mischievous smile on Alex's face was not impressing but wasn't depressing as well.
"Rite get some rest" Helen tried to leave but Alex was quick to draw her back and pinned her to the bed earning a sharp gasp from Helen in reaction. Helen's heart raced as she watched Alex's eyes dilate with intensifying fire in them.
"Rite stop" Helen tried struggled to get free from his grasp but his grip was firm and expression was smug, he settled his lips onto Helen's neck laying soft kisses and nibbling on them until he heard Helen moaning, then he moved down after making his index flame-red burned open Helen's blouse by running his finger down the middle until the material gave way, after pulling apart the blouse, Alex settled in teasing Helen instantly stopping her from trying to break free from his grasp. Helen moaned out his name and the fire in Alex's eyes intensified rapidly.
Helen wasn't really in the mood for whatever Rite was doing but she had to give in to his advances as he immediately made her give in with all the teasing, Helen writhed under him grabbing the sheets as he felt his hot tongue tease her core. She felt her eyes rolling to the back of her head as Rite continue her torture until he finally decided to quench the raging fire that he had set inside her. She moaned out loud when he thrust in roughly and scream when he increased his pace. Helen's thought got clouded by the familiar feeling of passion and pleasure, she felt her body give in to Rite's desires, his fingers clenched with his as his flat chest spread above hers.
Helen let out a loud sigh as she peaked while Alex go on for a few minutes before heading for the bathroom but came back to meet Helen sleeping.
"Rite do you seriously" Alex groaned scolding his Phoenix spirit mentally after gaining back consciousness.
'You needed her energy to heal faster, I just did it for you' Rite replied as Alex walked up to the bed to cuddle his mate who immediately shifted into his arms letting out a soft sigh as she doze on peacefully.
'She's really pretty I must say, and it's hard not to touch her, I mean she looks so dashing-
"Rite please, can you stop" Alex pleaded his Phoenix while trying to get some sleep himself but then Helen started to shift uncomfortably, and her eyes started to twitch as she let out low mumbles in her sleep.
Helen felt weak after her session with Alex and couldn't stop her body from immediately replenishing the energy he had no idea she had lost but then she found herself right in front of her sister who seems to be extremely nervous and worried about something.
"Angelique? Are you alright?" She inquired immediately moving close to her as she felt something was wrong with her.
"Something bad is about to happen to me...I can feel it, My mother locked me up somewhere or something I can say but I think the vessel holding me could be in danger...I...I've never felt so suffocated. Angela, I need help" Angelique pleaded has fear crept over her face and her body trembled. Helen realized then that she had no idea where she is...she doesn't trap inside the body of an 18-year-old.
"Angela do something?" Angelique pleaded and Angela flinched as a result of her loud authoritative voice.
"How can I possibly do anything when you have me trapped here?" Helen retorted and Angelique take a sharp glance at her sending her right back to reality to see Alex staring down worriedly into her face. She forced herself up to have her back rested against the headboard before digesting the strange news from her sister.
"Crystal is in danger...I can feel it" Helen suddenly declared and Alex narrowed his brows at her in confusion, Helen grabbed the robe hanging by the hanger not too far from the bed and head down to meet a few of the group members cracking jokes downstairs.
"I need people to help go check on Crystal she's in danger" Helen declared hurrying down the stairs to meet Morgan, Hematite, Garnet, Jasper, and Amber in a casual discussion.
"How would you know that?" Jasper asked with an interrogating gaze but Helen's gaze was on Hematite who had her head rested on Morgan's shoulders, she had no idea they had gotten that close but after Jasper's question she decided to distract herself from them.
"I can feel it...Morgan, you once said if you concentrate hard enough you can see things you want to see and not just premonitions" Helen anxiously speak while Morgan looked like he was deliberating on that.
"Yes?" He asked wanting to know she was getting at by suddenly bringing up the topic.
"You also said the present is pretty easy for you to tap into unlike the past or future...so Morgan can you help me check where Crystal Hawkins is right now?" Helen requested but Morgan made a guilty face.
"It's not that simple...to be able to see someone's present I have to know the person, I have to be able to feel the person like a contact-
"What if you have the person's touch...I mean I touched her before heading right back, could you use the remnants of her scent on me to get her?" Helen asked but Morgan just let out a soft sigh.
"It doesn't work like that princess...but I might be able to help if you have anything that belongs to Crystal" Morgan offered a solution and Helen contemplated whether or not she had anything that belonged to Crystal. She raced back upstairs to check her backpack and bring out the pen which had been packed with her kinds of stuff accidentally after Crystal dropped it in the restroom.
"You think this would work?" Helen asked handing the pen to Morgan after she raced back downstairs.
"I think so" Morgan muttered with uncertainty before taking the pen and rubbing it while adjusting in his seat gaining everyone's attention as he slowly closed his eyes.
"Can you see her?" Crystal asked after a few minutes while others were mumbling and contemplating if his idea Would work.
"Maybe it will if you all give me some peace" Morgan let out with his eyes still shut tight. Silence looms immediately after that as Helen throws all of them a haughty look that urged them to immediately stop talking.
"I see her...she's heading...home. I guess from school, she's humming. I think she's fine" Helen breathed out heavily in relief.
"Wait...something is following her, fast...a demon" Morgan open his eyes after his declaration.
"Where was she?" Helen asked after her heart resumed pounding.
"There were two tall buildings, she was about entering an alleyway, I saw a sign...Crebby Crab pawnshop, shop before the alleyway.
"I've seen that place before" Amber voiced.
"Garnet and I went to trade a few diamonds," Amber said while meeting Garnet's eyes.
"Can you please go out an eye on her? It's over if anything happens to her, she's a defenseless little girl...my sister's soul could die with her" On hearing that, Amber and Garnet sprung to their feet and immediately head out.
"Would she be alright?" Helen turned back Morgan who slumped his shoulders to express his cluelessness.
"I don't know" he muttered in response and Helen decide to head back upstairs, his eyes met with Alex who had been watching them from the landing that spread widely but halfway across the sitting room.
"Hey, Alex...is that you?" Helen asked hoping Alex was back in control.
"Yes" Alex replied with a blank face but Helen didn't wait for his expression to change before running into his arms.
"Angie...have your sister been communicating with you lately?" The question had her arms freezing around Alex's waist, she knew she might have to open up to him which wasn't really the best idea.
