A Gift from the Goddess
Chapter 137
Book TWO – Ch.# 29
…I couldn’t believe I was actually thinking of doing this.
Again
I should have already learnt niy lesson by now… no, I really shouldn’t be trying to make it stronger. I already knew how dangerous that side of me was. And yet Kieran looked at me with those puppy dog eyes, making it feel impossible to deny him.
…So here I was.
Contemplating doing the very thing I was sure would make him happier than it would make me.
I knew he wanted me to be completely healthy again, to be able to do the things he could do, to try and… fix me. Which wasn’t a bad thing, per se. It was great. It’s just… I wasn’t sure if I was ready for that yet. This wasn’t like asking me something trivial. He was asking me to connect with a beast who had terrorised me for years.
A shiver went through me as I recalled every time it had happened, remembering the blood and bodies. Remembering… the pain. Not even Kieran had been sale last time, it having lashed out at him as well. “I’ll be right here with you, I promise,” Kieran said, disrupting my thoughts. It won’t be like the last time. You don’t need to worry.”
Right.
Because the medicine should have stopped the suppressors by now… which should theoretically stop the pain… which should then stop the blackouts… and the death toll after it.
So simple. Logical
Surely nothing bad would happen again. I could do this.
And so I held my breath tentatively. “…Okay, Kieran,” I said, feeling numb. “I’ll do it.” And I agreed to do the very thing that terrified me.
I stood a foot or so away from him as we got started, watching him carefully. A small tremor was shaking through me, but I did my best to push through it. Now, more than ever, I needed to focus entirely on what Kieran was trying to tell me.
It quite literally could mean life or death.
“Deep breath, Rae,” he said, doing it himself as if to remind me how.
Yes… thank you for that.
But I still did it regardless.
“Okay, now… close your eyes… and reach deep inside. Try to connect with her,” he instructed
I wanted to be sick.
“Rac… close your eyes,” he repeated, seeing me hesitate.
…And I did as he asked.
So basic. This was meant to be straightforward biology. Because turning into a woli was meant to be normal. Yep, just a totally ordinary thing to do.
But as I reached down towards it inside, I felt a spark of revulsion. One that stemmed from the idea of letting it control me once more. It was like tempting late, opening the door to allow it to hurt others; something that I had sworn to leave behind as I began my new life.
And so I said… no. No more Never again.
If we were to do this… then we were going to do it my way
And I quickly grabbed ahold of the creature lurking, its teeth bared at me from the shadows of my mind and I threw it to the surface. I threw it to the surface and held it in place, forcing it to do what I willed it to.
An action that was then swiftly followed by the sound of my joint cracking.
