Klaus

I drag Xavi from the water, thanking whoever was listening for our survival. I just hoped the rest would make it out alive.

Xavi's white fur clings to his lean body as he climbs up into the dry cove that doesn’t seem to be affected by the waves. He shakes the water from his fur, spraying me with the salty droplets of the ocean before collapsing as he tries to catch his breath.

I watch the waves behind him. They were changing. Somehow slowing down and no longer acting as if they had a mind of their own.

“Magic?” I murmur, looking for the clouds that were usually left behind, but there was nothing.

The waves almost come to a standstill as a blood-curdling scream fills my ears.

“What the hell?”

I step back into the calm water, looking up at Indy as her body twists and turns in the air.

‘What is she doing?’ Xavi asks.

“Panicking.”

I glance at the rocks slowly disappearing beneath the water rising around us. It was still and calm, almost like it was preparing to break Indy’s fall.

“Is she doing this?” I ask Xavi as he swims towards me.

Xavi just stares as we tread water. ‘I’ve never… I’ve only seen dark magic.’

Her back hits the water, sending up a huge spray. While the water bobs, I swim out to her and drag her into the shallows, pulling her floppy body from the water.

‘Is she alive?’ he asks as I check her airways.

“Yes.” I confirm, “Shock, I think. I have seen something like this before. The body shuts down when it can’t process what happened.”

Two more splashes and Brax and Orion swim towards us.

“Amy?” I ask while Brax checks Indy.

“She fucking pushed her!” There is so much hatred in his tone.

“Thalia?” I ask in confusion. She hadn’t been in the room.

“Amelia!” Brax spits. “Indy somehow calmed the waves, and Amelia lost her shit. Pushed Indy over and called her a Witch.”

Brax lifts Indy and retreats into the cove, followed by Orion. It was fine for now, but we couldn’t stay here forever. We will be trapped when the sea returns to its usual chaos.

“She can control earth and water?” I mutter

“I don’t fucking know!” Brax snaps.

“What do we do? Amy is trapped. We can’t leave her to die.”

“I think she was always supposed to take us to the bedroom,” Brax growls as he brushes Indy’s sodden hair back from her face.

I was about to say something when he shook his head. “Her soul is…” He frowns and sighs. “It is the worst that I’ve ever seen.”

“Worse than Neahs?” I remember our conversation about Neah. He was fascinated with her soul but had never understood how she wasn't completely broken.

“She pushed me!” She throws another look around at the sleeping men. “Where is she?”

“She didn’t jump.”

Her brows knit together, “Is she dead?”

“We don’t know. Brax thinks it was part of Thalia’s plan. Sadly, the more I think about it, the more I believe he is right.”

“Like mind control? Thalia does it to everyone else.”

“Possibly.”

“Then we should help Amy,” she pleads with me. "It's what we were always going to do."

I smile at her. She didn’t want Brax to kill all the people of White Cliffs because of a spell, and now she wanted to help Amy. I don’t think she has a bad bone in her body.

“Right now, we are not in a position to help her. But you can help get us out of here. We can go to Black Shadow and make a plan.”

She snorts, “Klaus, you do realise we are trapped by the ocean. And not just any ocean. One that wants to beat us to a pulp.”

“You stopped the waves from smashing into the rocks. It slowed to break your fall.”

She snorts again and slams a hand over her mouth to stop herself laughing. “No, I can’t do that. If I could control water, don’t you think I would have done something to stop the river?”

“You didn’t know you were capable of ripping rock apart until you did it.”

“You are a Witch Hunter. Shouldn’t you be trying to stop me from doing stuff like this?”
