Longing For My Rejected Luna novel Chapter 82

*****Erika's POV******

I was about to scream but the hand clamped my mouth, then swerved me around to stare at their face. “Jace.” I immediately hugged him, tears falling from my eyes. My brother was alive. “I’m sorry.” I broke into sobs.

“Shh, they’ll hear you. It’s okay.” He whispered in my ears.

I sniffled. “Okay. We would talk more at home.” Then I remembered Paula and Kat. “We should go find Paula and Kat.” I held his wrist.

“We need to be careful, they are here somewhere.” He told me.

Carefully and cautiously, we darted round the bush, trying to locate Paula and avoid the people that were after him. I wondered where they were, they had the car and we needed the car.

Soon, I heard the honk of a vehicle, it was them. They were driving really fast. Together with Jace, we ran after the vehicle, I noticed Jace was limping.

“Get inside now! They’re behind us.” Paula screamed as Kat opened the door of the back seat. I pulled Jace so he could go in first, he screamed all of a sudden. I looked in horror as a small knife had pierced his side, I had also heard a gunshot.

I heard noises, without risking a glance back, I pushed him into the vehicle and climbed in after him. Paula zoomed off immediately, driving like a maniac, I paused to catch my breath.

“Jace.” Kat was all over him, his blood had stained her body but she did not care, I even saw tears fall from her eyes.

He was bleeding badly, Kat pulled off her shirt while I removed the knife from his down torso, that brought a pain-filled groan out of him. Kat instantly pressed down on the wound with her cloth. His breath was raspy and labored. There was also a hole near the cut, the bullet was in him too. Every part of me trembled in fear.

“Please be fine, Jace.” I pleaded. “Please don’t die on me.”

Kat’s shirt was soaked in no time, oh my goodness! Mother of the Moon, please help my brother. Don’t let him bleed to death. He was losing so much blood. “How long before we get to the pack, Paula?”

“In thirty minutes or so.” She replied, her eyes focused on the road. She was going fast but not fast enough for me.

“Thirty minutes?! Step on it, Paula. My brother is losing too much blood!” I yelled.

“I’m trying.” She increased her speed.

“Jace stay with me.” Kat was holding his hand tightly.

That knife could have touched a vital organ, hence, the bleeding. And if that was the case, then this was an emergency. I did not want him to bleed to death, I wanted him alive. I took hold of his other hand as the blood-soaked shirt was still on the wound, the bleeding was not ready to stop.

It was still flowing and that scared me more than anything. Why was he bleeding this much? “Paula go faster please.” My voice was broken and filled with panic.
