“What’s gotten your heart beating like that?” Luke asks, taking the box from me, “perineal massage oil,” he reads the box,” I volunteer,” he adds eagerly.
“It says to start using 8 weeks before the due date,” Axel informs him.
“I don’t think Lcan do this,” I breathe, panic creeping tip on me.
“You can do it. It’s okay to be scared, it’s normal. You will have 5 of us with you though and we will get you through it,” Deacon says from the doorway, obviously alerted by my heart rate spiking
“And we are going to make sure you’re ready for it, don’t worry about any of that,” Luke reassures.
“What’s wrong?” Theo and Mason ask in unison through the mind link. My mind scrambles for a plausible excuse for what I’m feeling right now.
‘Nothing, I’m okay. Axe was just telling me about his experience in the void and it scared me,” I blurt and then repeat my excuse to Luke, Axel and Deacon
‘If it scares you that much I don’t think you should attempt it,” Theo says sadly making me feel awful and wracked with guilt. “Hey, don’t feel guilty about it. We will work out a way to get to you,” he soothes.
“Ugh, I hate this,” I say out loud.
“I know, but it’s kinder than the alternative. Are they ready to talk?” Deacon asks.
“Are you two free to talk with us?” I ask into the mind link
“Yes,” Mason confirms. I nod to the others and they all join the mind link.
“Before you start shouting at us please give me a chance to explain,” Luke says when he joins.
“Go ahead,” Mason huffs.
“When Josie opened the portal I had the idea that we could speed up this whole portal–fixing process if we had her on the other side. I thought if we brought her into the void she could fix them quickly from there and give us access back home. I didn’t bring this idea to any of you because I knew you would all immediately dismiss it. After all, you wouldn’t want to risk it. I thought if I could port through to this side and prove that I can do it and that Deacon getting through wasn’t just luck then you’d be more willing to consider the idea. Axel worked out what I was going to do and demanded I bring him along. Of course, I declined at first, but he made a very valid point. That if I was able to bring him through then it was more proof it was possible,” Luke explains.
“Porting through this way is easier than it will be to get back. You haven’t proved it’s safe to attempt it with Josie,” Deacon snaps.
“That’s why he’s going to attempt to take me back through,” Axel says.
“No way,” I shout.
“Absolutely not,” Deacon protests.
“Then what? We can’t wait for all the portals to be fixed. It will take years. I’d rather be used as a test subject to see if it’s possible than risk taking Josie through,” Axel explains.
“No, Axe, you’re not risking yourself for me like that,” I tell him and I expect the others to agree with me but they remain silent. “You can’t be considering this,” I say to them.
“He makes a good argument,” Deacon admits and gives me a sad smile. I look at Axel and he nods. I drop from the
