Diana was caught completely off guard. Seconds ago, he had been sitting up, fine and smiling. Now he looked as though he had just survived a bloody war.
Panicked, scrambled off his chest and checked on his mana veins with growing alarm. "Rosie?! Kurt! What on earth just happened to you?!"
When she felt the flickering pulse in his veins her eyes widened as her senses registered his condition. "Severe mana deficiency?! What…? How is that possible?!"
BANG!
The sudden noise rattled the bedroom window pane once more. Outside, the spotless white cat clawed desperately against the glass.
Diana rushed over, unlocked, and pulled the window open. Kitty burst into the room with quick agility, landing on the carpet and opening his mouth to launch into a dramatic warning– but stopped dead in his tracks.
His bright blue eyes blinked in total confusion as he stared at the sight of Kurt lying half-dead on the bed, writhing in agony and drenched in cold sweat.
