Chapter 74 - | Blackout

"Someone spiked her water." Said Jude.


"What?! Who!?" Simon asks angrily and is ready to punch someone but Andrew quickly holds him.


"Are you okay, Maria?" Tabitha as she held my hands.


"Did you drink it?" Jaime, standing beside Tabitha.


"How are you feeling?" Matthew.


I stayed silent. Rapid breathing. Shaking knees. Consistent moving eyebrows. Eye twitching.


"Everyone," said Yeshua, gathering their attention. Tabitha then slowly lets go of my hands.


Past.


Past.It's coming back.


Back. It's back.


No.


No.NO!


HELP! NO!


Don't touch! Don't touch!


Stop! Stop!


STOP!


PLEASE! STOP!


NO!


No! No. No… no…


blood…


it… it hurts…


it hurts…


shaking…


"Maria, are you okay? You're shaking." John. Still holding my shoulders. I did not respond.


"Let's give Maria some time to process it all. Let's call this a night." He continued. "Yes, Teacher." Andrew. 


"Understood, Teacher." Thomas.


"Maria?" John. Breath… I… can… not… brea—


"Yes, Teacher." James.


"Maria then blacked out."


"John was able to catch Maria when she blacked out. All of them filled with panic and fear, except for one. Yeshua."


"But when the others looked at Yeshua, He was gone. Simon was the one who instructed them what to do. He told Jaime to carry Maria and to go to the entrance of the venue with John, Matthew and Tabitha."


"He then told Thomas and Andrew to help James to stand up. Then Simon told Jude to keep the evidence so that the two of them will be able to report it to the authorities."


"Yeshua, on the other hand, did not leave them because of panic. He left them to pray to the Father on their behalf."


"Oh, Father, hallowed be Your Name. I pray You guide them and strengthen them and to seek You in this time of distress. Heal what needs healing. For nothing can be done apart from You. You are the Holy One, You are the Mighty One. The Lord of Hosts. The King of the Universe. With You, even the impossible becomes possible. For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen."


"Thomas then said to Simon that he'll get the van but Simon refused because he can smell the wine from Thomas' breath. And so Simon asked for the car keys and gave it to Andrew since between the three of them, Andrew is the only one who did not drink."


"And so, Andrew drove the van towards the entrance of the venue where John, Tabitha, Matthew, Jaime and Maria were. Thomas and James went out the entrance as well while Simon looked for Yeshua."


"All of them went inside the van and Yeshua and Simon quickly went inside as well. Andrew asked where to go and Simon answered the nearest hospital. And Andrew drove as fast as he could while the whole van was silent."


"As soon as they arrived at the hospital, Jaime carried Maria to the emergency room with Tabitha, Simon and Yeshua. But the nurses stopped the three of them and only asked for the guardian of Maria. Yeshua said that He is Maria's mentor, so the nurse allowed Him to follow inside."
