I watched Michael run out of the room and down the stairs.

"Upstairs."

Two pairs of footsteps bounded upstairs just as the window opened and Zak's hand rested on my back.

"Breath, sister."

We both looked up at Michael and Ally, who both stared at Zak.

"What are you-"

"Ally still has a beating heart...she's not immortal like the rest of us and who knows if they have venom or what their venom can do. At lease it won't do any damage to me."

Another contraction took me by surprise and I screamed, my claws ripping into tho pillow.
