Page 298 of Oracle Returns: Time will Stop
Tori couldn’t believe it.
“She pulled as many as she could out of the hole,” Tori said. “She saved some of them.”
Julian blinked.
“That hole?” he asked, knowing she’d understand what he was saying.
Tori nodded.
“Jules, she saved Wynter. She got her out before it realized she was there,” she said, tears filling her eyes. “Oracle reached into that goo, and she pulled her free of it.”
He gasped.
“You saved her?”
Avalon nodded.
“Yes, but now he’s sealed that hole. We won’t be able to do that again. He’s going to be hyper-aware. His vessel, this person, is going to be wary.”
Lucian wiped his arm across his face and felt the wetness. His nose was bleeding.
When the conference room door opened, Bishop was there, and she immediately raced to her husband.
“What the hell?” she asked, seeing them on the ground. They’d felt the building shake, and there was that need to check on her husband.
Tori told her.
“Oracle did some shit in my head and pulled Wynter free of that hole.”
Bishop knelt beside her husband, helping him stay upright.
“She saved her.”
Genesis had felt so helpless. She’d watched them doing it, and she wanted to help. Only, she’d heard Avalon in her head telling her NOT to touch them. She’d called for Lucian to help her free the souls.
“Thank you, Avalon,” Julian stated.
She got back on her feet, thanks to her husband. When she was still wobbly, Nate scooped her up, and he carried her to the couch.
Immediately, he cradled her in his lap.
“Don’t thank me. It’s my job.”
Yeah, they could see that it wasn’t a glamorous or easy job either.
That was for sure.
Bishop and Honor helped Lucian get up, and they sat him on the couch. As they did, Genesis got them all water from the coffee bar cooler.
“She’s really saved?” Honor asked.
Avalon nodded.
“I had one shot at it. When Tori mentioned the pit, and it being a tear, I knew what it was. I had to do something.”
Julian was curious.
“Did you tell my wife you were going to use her head for that kind of a thing?” he asked.
