Chapter 309

** Luke’s POV **

I have no idea how long I’ve been trapped in the silent darkness. There is no concept of time when there is nothing from which to judge it. I can’t even trust my own mind, as I’m sure it keeps shutting down completely. Is this the afterlife? Is this what happens until we are reborn? I float around in an endless abyss of nothing, my memories slowly being stripped from me.

I know I’m losing memories because my mind keeps showing me an image of a woman. She is beautiful, and I know I love her, and that she is mine, but I can’t recall her fame. I see her with four others, but they are faceless, more like a blurry outline of figures.

“Luke,” a faint voice calls, and I know it’s hers, my nameless love.

Am I Luke? Is she calling out to me? I can’t be sure, but it’s the only thing I have heard in a very long time and I cling to it. It’s more than just a sound, it’s a feeling. A mix of emotions and an energy, an energy that I so desperately need to stop myself fading away.

I pull on the zing of power, drawing it into me, letting it flood my body and bring me some clarity. Josie, her name is Josie. I remember now, and I am Luke. I suck in more of the energy until there’s nothing left and the emotions I’d been feeling shut off like a door slamming closed.

Awareness begins to slowly build, and I can feel my own body again. It aches like it’s been still for too long. I still have a body, I can’t be dead if I still have a body, right?

My hearing returns next, it’s muffled at first, as if I am underwater.

“Just give up on him, Mandy, you gave him too much,” a deep voice I don’t recognise says.
