Sirius paced back and forth while I placed my hands together in prayer. Please, please let him be okay.
"Hello" we turned around in shock to see the boy, once at deaths door standing there with a smile "are you fellas the ones who saved me?"
"Yeah" we stood up "you're alive"
"Aye" he nodded "the names Shane O'Connor. So tell me" he leaned forward "How'd ya heal me. Healing magic couldn't replenish blood. Did you use science? What kind of alchemy did you use?" His eyes shone with wonder.
"We used a simple blood transfusion" Sirius spoke up "if you share the same blood type with another you can use their blood to get better"
"Incredible. I've never heard of alchemy like that" he gasped "I'm a half witch without any magic ya see so I have to rely on alchemy to make up for my shortcomings. I practically invented it" he laughed proudly. He seems smart. Maybe he can help me.
"Anyway I reckon I owe you a dept for saving me life" he held his hand out to me with a mysterious smile "name your price"
"Actually" I took his hand with a serious expression "there is something you could help me with"
..................
"Ow why are you pushing me nova!" Krispin complained as I pushed him forward.
"I have someone here would can help us" I informed him "krispin this is Shane"
"A pleasure" he shook his hand with a grin "so you're the lad who's struggling with his mother"
"And your the kid with the weird accent" he said bluntly "hey weren't you supposed to be dying?"
"Nova saved my life and I intend to repay him" he turned his back to us as he mixed some liquid together.
"Whoe, I didn't know you could heal people nova" his starry eyes lit up in wonder.
"Actually it's something far more amazing than healing magic" he turned to us, his eyes sparkling with excitement "it's alchemy"
"Alchemy?" Krispin tilted his head in confusion.
"Alchemy is what makes up for your lack of magic" he explained "it's taking the minerals from the earth and using them to your advantage. It's incredible what you can achieve with science and a creative mind"
"So you used this alchemy stuff to help him?" He turned to me.
"Uhh more or less" I smiled awkwardly.
"Krispin" he jumped to attention at Shane's words "you're part of the tinsel clan ain't ya?"
"Yeah"
Shane nodded thoughtfully "I see. To my understanding in order to take down the head of the clan you must challenge them to a duel and win"
"But I could never beat mom" he yelped.
"Not alone, but that's where alchemy comes in" he handed him a flask filled with a green substance "this stuff here will bring out your full potential and could trigger a full werewolf transformation. Either way me and nova will be going to war for ye"
"You don't have to Shane" I said quickly "your debt has already been repayed"
"Not a tall" he placed a hand on my shoulder "we half bloods gotta stick together" he winked at me before walking away.
"You guys" krispins hands shook, almost spilling the flasks contents.
"Easy" I took his hands to steady him "me and shane have your back. You're not alone anymore"
He nodded numbly. He must be scared out of his mind. It'll be okay. Tonight we're taking that bitch down!
