Eryx lunged back, but Theo slammed a hand onto his chest, shoving him back.
"STOP IT," Theo barked, planting himself between them.
Rhydric held Azrael in place. Azrael's vision flashed dangerously, his breath shaking with the effort not to shift.
Leo and Levi stood rooted, uselessly confused. All they understood was, Athena is drugged… and now everyone's trying to kill each other.
And where the hell were Alaric and Armand? It had been an hour.
Rhydric's voice vibrated with restrained rage. "This is not the time for this. Athena needs help."
Theo hit Eryx's chest again, harder, eyes sharp.
"And you…you have questions to answer after this."
Eryx didn't reply. He just kept glaring at Azrael.

A few minutes later, Eryx returned with the doctor.
Rhydric, Azrael, Theo, Levi, and Leo were already waiting outside the door Athena was kept, tense and a little restless.
