Chapter 213
Chapter 213
I floated suspended in this blissful darkness for what felt like hours. Nothing could touch me here. Not the weight of exhaustion pulling me down or the agony squeezing at my muscles and bones.
It was a reprieve, but one thing about reprieves is that they never last too long.
At first, it started in small flashes. An explosion of light here and there, a flicker of pain, a whisper of voices just outside my minds reach.
Eventually, those flashes became longer and more drawn out. The light became blinding, tinted with colors and shapes that moved. Voices took form, names flashing in my memory as I began to recognize them.
Each time I gathered the strength to open my eyes, it was sucked away by some
intangible force. With each sensation that returned, my least favorite was my dry throat.
I couldn’t seem to keep my eyes open for long enough to drink anything, but what I wanted most was some damn blood. A few times I swore I saw the outline of
Asher’s face, always hovering over me, silently protecting me from any and everything.
When I gathered the strength to keep my eyes open for more than a few seconds, the first thing I latched onto was a feminine voice.
It’s high pitch and friendly tone struck my memory at its core and dredged up a familiar name.
Cassidy.
Asher’s voice was thrown into the mix, tight with unease that twisted my empty stomach into knots. It rumbled miserably, as if it knew I dared to think about it.
“What’s going on?” I asked, but my mouth was so dry it came out as a crusty groan.
Asher was at my side before I could blink, moving so fast it startled me, but I was too weak to react. His hands roamed my arms, shoulders, and finally, my face. Each caress of his calloused hands was unbearably soft, bringing on such gentle sparks that my eyelids fluttered, and the darkness reached out with loving hands to suck me back in.
Thankfully, he pulled away before I could pass out again and promptly shoved something small and skinny into my mouth.
Without knowing what it was my throat worked to pull. When the taste of blood hit my tongue, rich and tangy, all thought was lost. I kept going until the winded.
straw sputtered and ran dry, but I wasn’t nearly full.
“What’s going on?” I asked again.
This time my words weren’t garbled nonsense. Cassidy hovered nearby; her shoulders lax with relief.
“What do you remember last?” Asher asked, clasping our hands together.
My heart began to flutter when he pressed my hand to his lips and waited for my response. A dull ache spread across my forehead as I followed the dwindling breadcrumbs in my memory that led me back to what happened before the darkness held me in it’s grasp.
“Um, I remember going to the safe haven and meeting Tristan’s mother. I sort of remember using magic to protect the land, but that’s where things get hazy.” I admitted.
“You did, you protected everyone. There’s now a force field over the entire safe haven, but you didn’t stop there. You fixed all of the damage the witches had done. Every house, every car, the sidewalk …even the streets look brand new.” He exhaled, shoulders stiff and rigid.
There was amazement in his voice, but his expression was pinched. Those eyes of his I adored so much were shuttered with worry.
“That doesn’t explain why I’m now lying -in bed back at home.” I pointed out, lazily looking around our bedroom. “Wait a second. I passed out, didn’t I?”
Asher lifted his head, nodding slowly.
You did. You’ve been out of it for four days now.”
My heart just about seized in my chest.
