He clutched Celia’s body for dear life, pressing his chest against her torso in hopes it would help restrain her convulsions, which became more and more violent with every passing second. Landon was unable to think straight. The harsh, loud sound of the bed’s metal frame clacking and popping as the sheets whipped back and forth, coupled with the springy ting of the mattress, and the constant beeping of the heart monitor, made it impossible. Celia’s legs yanked the sheets out from under the bed, causing them to dance in the air as her feet flailed.

Terror flooded through Landon’s veins. If he weren’t so scared, he would have run for a doctor to help. Instead, he was panting, his eyes darting back and forth as he searched his brain for a way to make Celia’s convulsions stop. He could barely swallow, and he felt the sweat collecting on his brow. There was a strange sensation in the pit of his stomach, like he was about to throw up. He never expected any of this to happen. Regret surged through him as he prayed for an end.

Then it stopped. With a final shudder, Celia’s body relaxed, settling into the disheveled bed. The beeping of her heart monitor steadied. Landon looked around with a confused expression, and his face flushed once he realized he was literally lying on top of Celia, his arms spread across her torso and legs. Self-consciously, Landon slid off her and took his position at Celia’s side, his hands gripped behind his back. It was too awkward for him to hold her hand, or even touch her.

Landon looked to Parker for some assurance. After all of that, it had to have worked. But she remained unmoved. She still stood next to the bed, seemingly unaffected by the whole ordeal that Landon had just endured. “Well?” he pressed her.

Calm and collected, Parker retracted her hand, removing it from Celia’s forehead and placing it casually at her side. “It’s done,” she said plainly.
