Benji let himself take in a few solid breaths before focusing on what Blair said. "I am fine. Im not going to die and neither are you two. We just need to find Emmy." he said. He wanted it to come out powerful and show them he was strong enough to keep going, but he didnt think the cringe on his face helped him.
Ben gave one deep breath and then broke away from Axel's grip. He appreciated his friend's help before. But he needed to show them he could go on. He closed his eyes, hoping to mask how painful it was to stand by himself, and let air escape his lips as his leg went numb. He bit his tongue as hard as he could to try and get his mind off of his leg. Surprisingly, it eased the pain and he was able to open his eyes. "Axel is right. They couldnt have gone far. Lets hope." he said.
He never once thought that Blair's words about Emmylyne knowing what she was doing was true. He was too much in the male frame of mind. He needed to be able to see Emmy to know she was ok.
Jodie looked helplessly as Chloe sat on the floor. She wished she could do more for her, but she was as scared as Chloe was. "Faith Chlo. Faith is all we need." she said in a low, soothing voice.
Hearing what Lainie said, Jodie nearly broke down. It took a lot to break Jodie. But now her hand began to shake. For once in her life, she didnt know what to say. "Laih..." she said, her voice breaking off.
The Benjamin heard it. Or he thought he heard it. Was that a yell from one of the other bed rooms? It had a deep voice, so it couldnt have been his sister or Chloe. Maybe it was Finn. And if Finn was yelling, that had to mean only one thing. Remmy was still in the house.
"Did you hear that?" Ben asked taking too quick of a step forward. He tripped over his own foot and saw the ground zooming before his eyes. Sticking his hand out, he caught Blair's shoulder for balance. He flinched as the pain all returned to every inch of his body. Thats what he gets for being too anxious.
