SWNOVELS Chapter 64
Morgan pov.
Ragna looks much better when Rain and I can finally curb our desire for each other enough to clean up and join the rest of the people. No one asks where we've been, but Magnus gives me a look that flares every protective and annoyed part of me and that in turn makes Rain growl at him. The tension that builds between them is enough to make anyone suffocate but I feel loved and secured tucked into Rain's side, the flames of my desire standing up again. "You don't look like death warmed over anymore." I tell the hybrid whose attention has been stolen by the entire casserole he's claimed for himself. He nods and focuses back on his food, causing me to look at Luca for an explanation. "Kyle gave him another shot this morning and shortly before lunch, it's resulted in this." The Fairie makes a face of disgust as he motions to Ragna who's now stuffed half a roll into his mouth. "It's apparently detoxing his body so we don't know when this will end." He sighs, taking a much more dignified bite of his food.
"Well, whenever that stops, we have to go to the Bio-Gaze again, we need samples." I tell them, causing Ragna to look up from his food, so I explain Rain's theory to them.
"Okay, so we heal them and then give Sinclair what she needs to complete her army." Magnus sighs and I glare at him.
"No one asked for your input. What makes you think we'll just hand over the cure? I'm willing to bet there's a lot more sick hybrids where Ragna comes from who'll be more than willing to turn against her. Or am I wrong?" Ragna shakes his head, finally swallowing the last of the food in his mouth with a gulp of water.
"We're a lot more but since I'm like the ringleader, here I am. Just a fair warning though, as many of them that would like to see Sinclair fall there is also a lot that will die so she can realize her dream." I nod, having expected something like that to happen as well.
"Alright, I need to start working on hacking the robots and you need to focus on getting the poison out of your system. Benjamin, do we have numbers on who's willing to fight or are we still leading the rest of the supernatural world into a false pretense that there isn't a war looming?" The ancient being sighs, not bothered by my attitude but Magnus bristles in his seat.
"Everyone knows by now. We were on four hundred thousand the last time we checked but that's still not enough with all the humans, the hybrids and their machines." He says and I nod.
"We'll have the numbers. I'll be working on designs to aid each and every species with their own powers. If you can get the trolls on board Agness, it would be a big help." They don't involve themselves in war. Never have from what I know but this isn't something anyone can just choose to stay out of. Sinclair will take them out without a thought and then their stubbornness will help no one.

"I'm working on it." She promises and I nod, turning to Isa.
"I need as much Fairies as you can spare to work on the samples once they get here. Their magic will help us get to the bottom of everything faster. Old man, I need your ancient vampires to pitch in. All those years of living has to be good for something." He grumbles about not being that old but nods his head.
"Wait, who made you in charge?" Magnus asks and we all look at him.
"What? Did you think you would run the show? Are you crazy or just that self-absorbed? I ran the security systems for these sectors. I know them inside and outside. I promise you there is nothing you know about them that I don't already know. Come to think of it, you can go back to wherever you came from. You're not needed here." I refuse to look away from him, even when his sentinel rises to the surface. Casey rises to his challenge and Isa groans. "Magnus now is not the time to fight with Morgan. If you would learn to work with her things would be so much easier for you." She flutters her wings, rising from her seat, her empty plates disappearing from where she sat. "I'm not working with him. You might see him as a father or whatever it is you admire so much about him but he's nothing to me and the sooner he learns to stay out of my way the better for all of us." I tell her and she sighs but doesn't say anything to me.
"You are an insolent child." Magnus roars and Rain cups the back of my neck, rubbing down the scenter to try and keep me calm.
"Says the man throwing a tantrum because he sees his actions have consequences." He glares at me and then a sinister smirk comes onto his face.
"Yes, let's talk about actions and consequences." He mutters and then I'm no longer in the dining room but rather in a regal looking bedroom all by myself. I sigh and try to blink myself back to the dining room, but it doesn't work. I end up in the bedroom time and time again.
"Casey, what's happening?" I ask but she's silent even when I can feel my magic is still inside of me. "Casey." I call but again there's no answer. I reach into my mind but she's nowhere to be found and when I reach for the bond between Rain and I there's something I can't get around blocking me from it. Anger rises inside of me, and it shatters the room around me, but it puts itself together once more. I grind on my teeth as I think of a way, I can get out of here but there's no big exit sign anywhere, so I leave the bedroom to find myself in a large hallway that's padded with a cream rug and gold curtains are open in front of the windows. I peek into the next room to find a dining room of sorts and the next is a living room. There's a library and a little garden but nothing that leads me out of here.
It takes me much longer than it should to realize I'm going to have to rely on my own wits to get myself out of here and when I do Magnus is a dead man.
