Chapter 175 - Returning Favour

Dandeline hesitantly kept Ellie down and then came to me. She gulped at the thought of saying something else when I raised my paw. Without any retaliation or resistance, she did what we had been doing with every alive person or wolf we met. The blood trickled down in Ellie's mouth and I activated my abilities. 

My wound healed, and that showed that it had worked, but Ellie's wound did not heal. I tried again and again, but the wound stayed as it was.

The blood around her neck had started to dry, and the cut was very deep. "She needs more blood," I said to Dandeline as I raised my paw. My wolf was getting agitated, and I wanted to do everything I could right now to set this right. Just like Ellie had sat down for hours by my side to get my wounds healed, even though she knew she wasn't capable of doing so. I wanted to return that favour and had to make everything work. 

"You have already lost enough-"

"I said she needs more," A growl settled in the back of my throat. Dandeline creased her brows in a troubled look and helped me get more blood in Ellie's system. I let it drip on the wound around her neck as well.

When I tried again, the wound slowly started to close in together. I kept on activating my abilities again and again and again until the wound looked like it had stitched up. 

My paws had turned sweaty, and I was panting with the amount of blood I had used up. "Why isn't she waking up? She should be healed." 

Dandeline went closer to Ellie and felt around her chest. "There is no heartbeat," Dandeline whispered the words as if offering her condolences, and it only aggravated me further. 

"How can that be? Do a CPR don't sit there idly!" I growled at Dandeline. 

There had to be a way. I had to try everything for her because she had always done it for me. Dandeline looked at me, troubled, but she could not deny my words. Not when I was the princess, and she was my maid. She had to follow it. She had to help me bring Ellie back. As commanded, Dandeline began doing the CPR, and I saw as the weak body of Ellie's heaved with every thrust that Dandeline gave on her chest. 30 compressions and two breaths; she did exactly as required. 

"Selene!" I heard Channing's voice from a distance and it looked like he was still in her intoxicated mind, but the drunk state had gone away. 

I did not pay heed to Fang and Channing approaching me and my eyes kept trained on Ellie and Dandeline started pumping yet again, counting her second set of compressions. I breathed heavily as I stared at her while Channing approached me. Fang's wolf came to stand by my side, and somewhere I knew Fang could hear my thoughts. "You should look ahead," Fang telecommunicated, "your best friend still needs you, Selene." 

My wolf locked eyes with Fang's and there was a moment of non-verbal understanding, "How can I, when-"

"Suzan might be still alive," Fang cut me halfway, "Let's go ahead while Channing takes care of things here." His words only made me want to cry out loud. But they were right; Suzan still needed me, and so did Sam. I could still hear Arina's cries when she had woken up. I nodded to Fang and walked ahead while looking for the last time, where Dandeline gave two breaths to Ellie's limp state and continued to her third pumping cycle. 

Fang passed a look to Channing, and Channing nodded in understanding while Fang slowly ran up to my side. My nose dipped near the ground and I took a long breath. 

Instantly I was off running to where Suzan's smell was stronger. On my way, we passed another dead wolf, but my wolf was infuriated to even look at them. 

A dead person's smell would weaken and would be rather mixed with a stench of death. Suzan did not have that and even though I did not want to admit it, Ellie's smell was weakened and the moment my ability did not work in her body meant her body wasn't circulating anymore to carry my blood around. My teeth gritted at the thought and I picked up pace where Fang silently followed me. 

Over some distance, I saw Suzan lying on her back and half-naked with only her inners on. 

She had removed her t-shirt and wrapped it around her neck while taking long deep breaths, the last breaths her body was managing to get. "Suzan!" I ran to her and sat on my hind legs. Bringing my paw up, I bit into it till my canines tore through my muscles and a deep wound gashed out my blood. Suzan looked at me, eyes wide and trying to say something when I brought my paw above her face. Suzan coughed up my blood as it was too much liquid in one go, "I am sorry."

I apologised and immediately brought my abilities to work, and that was when I felt it. The wounds healed and Suzan healed minutes later than me, but my body swayed from side to side. 

"Selene!" Fang huffed from his nostrils as he came beside me to support me. I blinked slowly as the world around me started to turn in a flash of bright white. My eyes searched for Fang's, but I could not see clearly. "It is enough, Selene," Fang said, as he saw me losing my balance and his wolf came ahead to support my wolf from falling flat on the ground. 

Suzan, who had composed herself, was quick to rush to me, "Selene, are you fine? My god, please don't tell me you did something like trading your life for mine." 

"Sam..." my words trailed as the scenery in front of me started to dissipate in a blur.

"Selene..." 

"Selene!..."

The voices were faint in my head as Fang and Suzan called out to me while I slowly tried to walk while wobbling, and the world around me started spinning. My telecommunication was as weak as me, "Bring...Sam...."
