His heart wasn't beating, he wasn't breathing anymore. Panic swept through her as she pressed her hands tighter against his chest over his heart after closing the bullet and bite wounds. She pushed her healing energy into his heart in pulses, similar to the defibrillator's human used to restart a heart. [i]Come on, come on![/i] She could sense that the damage to the tissue was being repaired, but his heart was silent.

Rikive swore in frustration when she heard Beth call out to her from outside of the van. Parael's heart still wasn't beating. Her other comrades needed her, but Parael...

Gritting her teeth and shutting her eyes tight, she slowly pulled her hands away. It was too late. She pressed her blood covered hand against her eyes, taking in a deep shuddering breath to try and pull herself together. There was still a battle raging, other's that were still alive needed her help.

She should have gone in after him right away...

[i]"Aw, lovely! I missed you so much!"[/i] The sound of Parael's voice made her snap her head up, her pale green eyes wide when the slender man tackled her in a hug. She was completely stunned and speechless, she had been so sure that he was dead. Gone forever! 

Relief and joy quickly replaced her surprise and she was about to hug Parael back when he pulled away from her. She watched him dig around in his diaper bag in confusion. As he pulled forth the iron sword and six wings emerged behind him, her mouth dropped open in shock. 

Parael...had come out of retirement!?

Rikive stared up at him with wide eyes, the power radiating from him reminding her of her mother's people. She smiled before laughing at his departing words, more from sheer relief that he was alive and still the same as before. Except for, of course, the wings.

She picked up her own sword and sheath, following him out of the back of the van and looking at Beth with the vampire. It seemed like she had their new 'friend' under control. "Get her in the van, I'll help get the others." She said before heading back toward the club. 

With Parael providing cover and a suitable distraction, Rikive located the downed Flint and Tony being dragged out by Autumn.  Karram was also helping to cover her back with what few people were focusing on them as they retreated. She sheathed her sword and crouched down to pull one of Tony's arm's over her shoulder as he was the most obviously injured. She could help walk him out while healing him. She didn't know what was wrong with Flint. 

She pressed one hand against Tony's bleeding back as she stood, using it to start healing him. The mist like magic flowed into his skin from her hand, spreading through his back and starting to push the buckshot out while healing the damage it caused. "Can you two carry Flint between you and get him to his car? Parael is providing us," She ducked when a head flew over hers. "Cover."
