Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 62

Kas's POV

I open my eyes to find I'm laying on my back on the floor of the meditation room of Blood River pack house. My heart is beating painfully hard. I rub my hand against my chest, trying to remember how I got here. When did we leave Silver Moon? Did Bronx come and bring me home? Why would he bring me to the meditation room? It’s so weird. I have never woken up from a vision in a different place before.

The vision. Bronx's emotions all come back to me like a punch in the gut. I can feel tears gliding down the sides of my face, into my hair. The sadness inside me is overwhelming. I try to swallow it down, hide it away, but it just won't obey. My lip trembles, doing its best trying to hold everything in, but a gasp of a breath escapes me. I cover my mouth with both hands and silently sob, letting my body shake.

"Lex, is she really going to die?" I squeak out between the sobs.

"I don't know, but it's going to be alright, Kas. Get yourself together. It was just a vision. We've been able to stop them from coming true before. We can stop this one from happening, too. Right?" Lex calms me in a firm yet soothing voice, "Time to assess the situation and keep moving. That's what James and Marco always tell you to do. They've never steered you wrong before."

"Okay, okay, you’re right, Lex. 1-1, urn, ju-just give me a minute to think here. I need to collect my thoughts. I think I need to meditate before I leave the room. I don't want anyone to see me this upset. 1-1 just need to clear my head," I nod quickly, agreeing with her but stalling for time. I blink hard and take a ragged breath before I wipe the tears out of my eyes.

"Of course. That was pretty...intense. Even by our standards. I'll give you the energy you need," her warm voice reassures me.

I clear my throat and close my eyes again. I take a slightly more confident breath and do my best to block out all the negative thoughts. My breathing steadies as I let myself fall into a clear minded meditative state. I feel Lex guiding her reassuring energy to me. Helping me stay calm and focus inward.
