Wings Of The Foretold

Loss of Control

Her hands reached out and touched my face, I tried to pull back, to pull away but I couldn't, two more clicks resounded through my being sending a jolt of energy up my spine. her crown and heart chakra. I wasn't even making physical contact, how could I be drawing from all four of her chakras at once. My face and chest grew unbearably hot as I felt my heart drop to my stomach at the site of two more golden tendrils, winding their way from the center of my chest to her chakras. Her hands dropped back down to her sides, weak from the loss of life energy. " What's happening to me?" She slurred " is this normuul." Fear overwhelmed me, gripping my neck in a vice, i couldn't breath, i couldn't stop it, i had no control anymore, my aura was spreading and growing and as it grew my hunger was only becoming deeper.  I watched frozen as her eyes rolled back and her body began to shake. My own shaking increased as i tried vainly to pull and tug at the tendrils sprouting from my core, knowing it would do no good, my choked and strangled sobs echoing dully off the empty walls of the plane as i scratched and gouged  at my chest where the auraic tendrils were sprouting from. I clamped my eyes shut and tried to scream, but no sound would come out. That's when I saw it. Her memories, flashes of color flooding through my mind. Becoming more and more clear. A small boy with brown hair and freckles, crying in my lap, her lap. "I don't want you to go May." He sobbed " please don't go, it's dangerous." His small hands clinging tightly to our, no her shirt. "I have to go Caleb." Her soothing voice purred into the boys hair as she kissed him atop his head. " I'll be okay, I'm strong, and if I do this for the collection they can get you your medicine." The memory cut off abruptly. May was unresponsive and stiff in her seat, I reached out and grabbed her to try and steady her. As soon as I touched her her eyes rolled back in ecstasy and pain and she let out a weak cry. I couldn't stop drawing from her, and my touching her was making it worse. I could feel my aura continue to stretch. all the bodies of everyone on the plane were in its perimeter now making it so i could feel their hearts beating, and the warmth of their mana coursing through their bodies. The three flight attendants were in the back, the pilot and co-pilot up in the cockpit. "Please, please, I thought. Someone come here, she's going to die I can't stop." Another click, her solar plexus. Her body went limp as she began to slip from her seat, instinctively i grabbed at her and wrapped my arms around her body to pull her up into her seat. "Help us!" I screamed at them within my mind. I felt another click. But this one was not hers. Another crown chakra, one of the flight attendants in the back. Click, click. Two more crown chakras poured into me dumping their manna from tendrils that reached throughout the plane from my core. Warmth, intense warmth flooded through every inch of my being filling the void that continued to grow. I could feel more tendrils of auric energy reaching, searching for more, "the pilots." I needed to stop, I had to stop. I pulled, tried with all my might to pull back, pull away, to control this ravenous monster that had overtaken me, my body, my consciousness. My arms fell from her body and she crumpled into her seat like a rag doll. I was still drawing from her, still connected. I could see them so clearly ,brightly glowing, golden and translucent tendrils reaching out from my core, from my body, stuck fast into her chakras. I tried to grab at them again, to pull them loose, but my hands kept passing right through them. They weren't solid and there was now way to stop them unless I could stop myself or be forced to stop. That's it! The drug! her bag. She had to have more. I pushed her forward and opened the zipper on her backpack, some wires and cords, papers, a large smooth slab of metal. No drugs. " Damnit, May come on where are they." I thought furiously as i violently wiped the wetness from my eyes. Her body was slouched motionless in her seat. If it wasn't for the fact that I could hear her heart beating and see her mana flowing through her I would believe her to be dead already. I unzipped a smaller pocket at the back of her pack, empty. Both side pockets, empty. " Come on think you idiot." if I was human and dealing with the fey, where would I keep drugs that can pacify them. "The front pockets. of course!" I laid her back against the seat and reached into her jacket pocket. Bingo. Three syringes, cool against my hot glowing skin, I tore the caps off all three in one motion and jammed them into my forearm. I pushed down on the caps, " please work please work" I pleaded to the heavens. And it did. The tendrils released her and retreated back into my body one by one. I lost the connection to the three flight attendants and the ones that had been searching for the pilots slowly followed suit, drawing back into my core and disappearing from view. I let out a long sigh of relief, and fell back into my seat. My aura was pulsating with power, but the drugs were obviously doing their job. I closed my eyes and tried to steady my breathing as I felt my aura slowly begin to shrink back. I was worried the drugs would drive my aura back into my body again but it didn't look like that was going to happen, it stopped retreating and stayed in place at a quite larger circumference than it's usual resting state. Surrounding me and May along with a good portion of the center of the jet. I could feel May in my aura. Her breathing was shallow but steady, and if I focused I could hear her heart beating rhythmically. She was alive. I didn't kill her. I let out a shaky and uneven breath as I felt my body begin to loosen and my tremors start to slow. My eyelids felt so heavy, I was unbearably tired just as I always am after an episode like that. I thought of checking on the flight attendants in the back. When they were still in the fog of my aura I could tell they had passed out, but my eyelids were too heavy to lift, so I allowed myself to slip down into a heavy sleep.
