Charles hears Ji taunts and Tam's cries of pain. He knows that things are not going well for Tamara. He focuses even harder on cutting through the ropes. He suddenly hears the gurgling sounds of someones throat being slashed then the sounds of falling bodies. And then things go terribly silent. Charles pauses for a second to listen for someone walking to them but nothing. They are both down. They have to be. Charles knows Tam has to be injured. He can let the one he cares so much for die. He grabs the ropes and lets out a roar and yanks hard at the ropes snapping them leaving a very bright red mark around both wrist but he doesn't feel the pain. He quickly unites the ropes then grabs a knife and cuts all the others free.<br/><br/>Arkain angerly throws the ropes to the ground. He looks at Charles. His eyes wild. His whole body shaking with fear. He also has heard the what has been going on. "Tamara?" Charles shakes his head. "I don't know." He goes over to Lei and finishes untieing her. Arkain looks at Anna to make sure she is OK. He has to know. He doesn't wait for Anna. He runs out into the kitchen looking about daughter. HE gasp seeing the blood all over. Then he sees Tamara laying over Ji unconscious. He lets out a cry. "NO!!!" He runs over to Tam and takes her bloody body in his arms and holds her crying bitterly. "Please NO don't be dead. Daddy's here." He can hear a slight breath from her and feels her heart weakly pumping. "Shes still alive!" She lifts her off of Ji and lays her gently on a table. He sees the knife sticking out of her chest and  the gashes from Ji knives. He knows he has to stop the bleeding. He knows hes a healer but the wounds are really bad. He will need help. He can't worry about  who will see that. "Charles, Anna get me some towel blankets. We have to stop the bleeding." He looks at Lei. "You, there is a phone in the back of the kitchen. Call for an ambulance NOW. And call the police too. I want this piece of trash out of my house now." He quickly looks down at Ji. He doesn't know if Ji alive or not. Hepreys she is dead. As long as shes out of the way, thats all he cares about right now.<br/><br/>Charles and Anna come back with handfuls of towels. Charles gets some of them wet to clean off the wounds. He quickly starts to clean and wraps the wounds with a towel to stop the bleeding letting Anna wrap the ones next to her.  Arkain closes his eyes focusing his energy. Charles knows Arkain is going to try to heal Tam but she is so badly injured. He seen him heal broken limbs but this. He feels this may be beyond his ability but hes not sure. He's got to watch him to make sure he doesn't try too hard and he looses them both. He looks at Anna. He knows he can trust Anna not to tell anyone and Lei is on the phone so Arkain's secret should be safe.<br/>Arkain's hands start to glow white. He can feel healing energy flow into her body. He directs it to the more serious wounds. They start to close up and the bleeding stops. He doesn't dare to pull out the knife until the bleeding is under control. But he feels something is wrong. His healing energy is not as strong as it use to be. Yes, he has gotten old and out of practice but this isn't right. He quickly realizes its Ji's drugs that are still in his system messes up his healing ability.  He can feel healing abilities have saved her from dieing and that she is out of immediate danger but he wants his daughter back in full health. He starts focusing harder. Harder than he ever has before. His hands should be bright white with energy but they only glow slightly brighter visibly healing some of the outside wounds but still unable to heal the more serious wounds. Blood starts to drip out of Arkain's nose. Charles knows Arkain is pushing himself too hard. He knows that Arkain would give up his life to save her. Charles can tell by the color that is slowly come back to Tam that she is out of danger but hes got to stop Arkain. He tries to move his arms but thats impossible. HE pleads. "Arkain please stop. Tam is going to be OK." But Arkain doesn't listen. Charles look over at Anna with pleasing eyes hoping she can talk some sense into him.
