The Gift Of Light - Chapter Forty Seven

Inside the room, Nolan continues to chant and wave his wand over Emily's body. The ball of light grows then explodes into tiny little lights around Emily's body. 

Emily's body rises from the table and hovers lifeless in front of Nolan. 

Nolan continues to chant as the lights around Emily's body burn out, leaving smoke surrounding her. Nolan continues.....

More light begins to circle Emily's body, leaving Nolan exhausted. Nolan continues, knowing its working. 

Then a tiny light starts coming from Emily's back. The light slowly grows in size. Nolan steps back as he watches Emily. 

Then Emily's wings explode from her back and come to life with a slow rhythm. It's the only sign that it worked. 

Her body slowly comes down and rests back on the table. Nolan examines her and waves his wand one more time just to boost her life force. 

Motionless other than the slow rise and fall of her chest and her wings in motion are the only signs that Emily's alive. Nolan leans over to check her pulse. It's slow and steady, but it's there. Satisfied with the results, Nolan heads upstairs to deliver the news to Dimitri. 

Nolan walks into the living room to see everyone sitting on the floor with sad faces. Chris and Daniel scurry off the floor as Nolan heads over to Dimitri, who is getting to his feet. "It worked, but she still has not regained consciousness," he says. 

Everyone in the room lets out a breath of relief. "Is that normal for her to be unconscious?" Dimitri asks. "Yes, she died, and her body has to have time to recover. It could be hours or days before she regains consciousness," Nolan explains. 

"There's something else you might want to know," Nolan says. "What?" Dimitri asks as he looks at him with concern. "She's with child, but I don't know the status of the baby as of right now. I felt it's presence when I was doing the spell. It most likely died when she did. I don't know if I brought it back with her or if it still is dead. Only time will tell," Nolan tells Dimitri, who looks shocked. 

"A baby!" Dimitri chokes out. "I was a nightwalker when we..............and it could be a fairy, a nightwalker, or something else. "That is the least of your worries. She's not out of danger yet. She will need fluids and plenty of rest. Then we can have some specialists come in and take a look at the baby if she doesn't miscarry," Nolan tells Dimitri. "Miscarry," Dimitri chokes out. "Yes, there is a possibility of her losing the baby. I don't have the equipment or means to check on the baby. Emily is too early in her pregnancy. Let's just take one step at a time and see what happens," Nolan tells Dimitri.
