Alister caught Drake before he hit the ground. He carefully set drake on the ground and placed his hand over drake’s chest looking for a heartbeat. He relaxed for a moment when he felt one. “Drake, can you hear me?” Alister asked. 

“Please answer…” Alister plead. He didn’t want to lose another person right after he met them. All his life everyone he was close to died or left, starting with his parent. The only ones that stayed were Vanessa and Valeria. Now seeing that he might lose Drake, he would give up anything to save his life.

“Yeah he really does,” Valeria said. She smiled at Andrew then focused at Jay who was still underwater. She was happy that the boy was back in the water but she worried about his parents. They must be worried about his well being. She took a deep breath feeling the cool air when a chill ran down her spine. 

“ANDREW WATCH OUT!” Valeria screamed. She lunges at him knocking him onto the ground. Just as they hit the floor a spray of bullet rained on them. A few grazed her arm and leg but luckily none of them hit Andrew. She cursed herself for not paying attention.

“Into the water you go,” Valeria said as she threw Andrew into the water just before another spray of bullets hit her. She managed to teleport away but not before one hit her shoulder. She didn’t have time to chose a location and teleported to the last thing on her mind, Andrew.
