She smelled coffee from him, but it was not exactly him.

”Shift,” Knox ordered her as he put her down and covered her with his jacket, so she wouldn't be naked when she returned to her human skin.

Blue said nothing and followed his order. She looked at him with teary eyes and a red face. It was very painful, the bullet was still inside her ankle and it was getting in the way of her healing ability.

”It hurts,” she whimpered, wiping her face roughly with the back of her hands, as she felt Knox's hand hover above her wound.

Even though they were in the darkness, it was not a problem for Knox to check on her wound. His face darkened when he saw her bloody ankle, his jaw clenched tightly. He even ignored the fact those people approached him with their guns aimed at him.

”Stay still,” Knox said, as he put his hand above the wound and the bullet that was buried deeply in her flesh slowly moved. He pulled the bullet without touching it.

Blue hugged his arms and cried silently when she felt the bullet move, she would have jerked her leg, if it was not for Knox who was holding it steadily.

”It hurts…” she repeated her words, as her claws dug into his shoulder, because she couldn't bear the pain.

Knox said nothing, he was more focused on getting the bullet out.

”FIRE!” Jasmine ordered the rest of the people to open fire at Blue and Knox, it was a close range shot, therefore, it was almost impossible for Knox or Blue to dodge it.

But, maybe you didn't need to wait for a miracle to happen when you could create one.

The bullets stopped mid- air before they could touch or hurt them, or even get close to any one of them.

Upon seeing that, Jasmine and the other men were stunned, but since they knew the ability of this creature, it was expected. Their expressions turned hard when they realized who their opponent was.

On the other hand, once the bullet came out from Blue's ankle, Knox closed his fist hard, as if he was crushing the bullet with his bare hand.

And in the next moment, the bullet blew into a million pieces, along with the bullets that were aimed at him and Blue, those ammo turned into dust.

After that, Knox helped the progress of her healing. It only took three seconds for her wounds to close and her skin turned as smooth as before she was shot.

”It's fine now, you can stop clawing at me.” Knox patted her small shoulder and Blue blinked her eyes, as a big fat tear rolled down her cheek.

She looked at her ankle and moved it, it didn't hurt anymore, and then she stood up and tried to take a tentative step, and found it didn't hurt.

”Thank you,” Blue said softly, rubbing her face to get rid of any traces of the tears, while glaring at the people in front of her. ”They shot me.” She pointed an accusatory finger at them.
