Chapter 146 - Chaos (1/2)
Hot... so freaking HOT! I pull at my clothes but strong hands keep me from taking them off, aggravating me further. Pain slices through me as I feel like something is tearing me apart from the inside out. I want to scream but nothing comes out... I feel trapped! My mind slowly falls into the chaos surrounding me.
The pain grows as does the heat! Please, please make it stop! I beg to no one in particular as I try to find peace but nothing helps. I can hear someone calling my name but it's too far away. I feel so lost and confused! It feels as if I'm sitting in the middle of a powerful tornado, being hit and torn apart by the powerful dark wind.
I grit my teeth and try to curl into myself to shield myself from the pain but after another slicing pain cuts away at me, my anger starts to spike. I uncurl myself and grit my teeth against the pain as I try to sit up. It was pitch black, leaving me completely blind but I don't care! The blazing hot wind whips at me from every direction as I try to find my balance.
My anger continues to grow as I finally push myself up to a sitting position. Pain and heat cut at my arms, face, and body as I glare into the black abyss. As I start pushing myself to stand, the pain increases yet again, making me suck in.
~~~~~~
Everyone in the room watches Nova wither in pain as Bai Lei begs Nova to just give up. To stop fighting but, to everyone's surprise, Nova starts fighting even harder! Bai Lei clenches his teeth in fear as he leans over whispering to Nova.
Nova's body temperature continues to rise so Zhen quickly grabs water and rags. He quickly dips the rags into the water and tries to cool her off but when steam starts lifting from her body, he stumbles back in shock. Bai Lei was shaking with terror and yells at Nova ”Stop love! Stop fighting!”
Nova suddenly jerks and sucks in, causing everyone in the room to jump. Holy... Zhen runs to grab more water but Ren was already there with a large bucket. Zhen nods in thanks and takes the bucket before throwing the whole damn thing on her. Steams lifts from her body in an eerie way, shocking everyone. Bai Lei grits his teeth and scoops her up in his arms, ignoring the way her body was burning his exposed skin.
He shifts over to the small pond in the courtyard and walks into the icy cold water with Nova. ”Please stop love, I need you...” He begs as he holds onto her burning body. Suddenly, something happens. Powerful energy starts flying over to them as Nova's body starts absorbing it all at an alarming speed!

I clutch my chest and try to keep breathing as I slowly begin standing. Hot, searing pain rips at me in an unending assault but I try my best to ignore it. Son of a ....!!!! This is really starting to piss me off! The pain increases again, nearly bringing me to my knees but I slowly lift my hands and start calling to my power.
At first, it doesn't come but I refuse to be ignored. I demand the power to come to me and with a powerful push, my power comes rushing to me in powerful waves. More, I need more! As the power comes, I pull it to me and begin circulating it within my body, slowly easing the pain.
It's still not enough... I finally stand steady on my feet as the pain continues to lick at my skin, feeling like blades of blistering heat. More! I demand as I lift my arms again. Wave, after powerful wave, crashes into me as I quickly circulate the powerful energy in my body.
