WITHOUT THINKING TWICE, Falon tore the snake off Rafa’s hand, and immediately covered the bite with her mouth even as she drew him away from the swarm of vipers. In her peripheral vision, she saw Luca hack the snakes to fish-bait size. She sucked the venom from Rafa as quickly and as deeply as she could, vehemently spitting the venom out each time she drew it into her mouth.

“I can’t breathe,” Rafa’s voice choked out before he went down.

Falon’s blood pressure shot sky-high.

“Lucien! Rafe’s down,” she screamed. She followed him down to the damp stone floor. His big body began to spasm and shake. “Rafa,” she cried, taking his face between her hands. “Look at me! Stay with me, baby.” When his body continued to convulse, she grabbed his bitten hand and continued to draw the poison from him. His body stilled some but his tan skin paled to an ashen shade of gray.

“Lucien!” she cried. “Help me!”

The little girl’s cries added tension to the situation. When Falon looked up at Lucien, she saw three of him. Reaching out to him, her unsteady hand shook.

“Falon,” Lucien said, dropping to his knees. “What’s wrong with you?”

“I think—I ingested some of the poison,” she said, swaying on her knees. “I’m okay.” She turned back to Rafe, and caught her breath. He had turned a deeper shade of gray. “He can’t breathe!”

Lucien gently set her aside, and opened his brother’s mouth and breathed into him. Frantically, Falon pressed her healing hands to the bite on Rafa’s hand, calling upon all of her power to rid his body of the poison.

The little girl strapped to Lucien’s back cried louder, struggling to free herself.

“No, baby girl, you have to stay there,” Falon tried to soothe as she attempted to heal Rafa.

But the little girl shrieked louder and for one so small and undernourished, she tore herself out of the papoose pack in quick fashion and crawled down Lucien’s back to Falon.

She grabbed the child to her chest to keep her immobile and when she did, the baby put her hands on the one Falon used to grasp Rafe’s bitten hand. Heat surged from the little girl into Falon, and then into Rafa. Like an electrical infusion the four of them hummed with power.

Falon’s eyes widened in shock. Luca wore the same astounded expression.

What the hell?

The girl lay down against Rafael’s chest as if she were snuggling up to sleep. Dismayed by the behavior but not questioning it, Falon and Lucien watched in awe as Rafa’s body stopped spasming and a twinge of his color returned.

Rafa, Falon said, bending over his lips and kissing him. Open your eyes.

He didn’t.

“Rafe,” Lucien said harshly, “open your eyes damn it. We need to get the hell out of here. We don’t have much time left.”

He was unresponsive.

“He won’t wake up without the antidote,” a deep unwelcome voice said from the threshold of the wrought-iron door.

Falon’s blood stilled in her veins as she looked up to see the last person on earth she expected to see.
