I Am The Luna by Moonlight Muse Chapter 54

A Light at the End

ZAIA. My heart skips a beat as I stare at Jai, my legs refusing to move when he rushes over to me and quickly puts his arm around me to help me up faster, not wanting to hurt my arm.

“Quick!” Panic fills me as I rush from the room, stumbling as the floor seems to move and bend and I close my eyes, following him blindly.

Calm down Zaia….

“Look!” he says with uncontained excitement. I open my eyes, my vision blurring as I stare at the bed, it takes me a moment to realise what he’s showing me and my heart thumps as I gasp.

The steady beeping of the machine fills the room, and I stare at the EEG machine screen. There’s brain activity!

Not just a faint spurt, but a steady rhythm of increased activity. Hope fills my scrambled mind and my heart leaps in excitement. Valerie… It’s working!

I look at the moon, hope filling me. Thank you, Goddess…

My breath hitches as her lips move ever so slightly, as she lifts two fingers a little before she relaxes into her pillows and the machine calms down.

But neither of us is devastated, because one thing is clear, it’s working. It’s working! Meaning my Val is coming back to me – to us!

Jai looks at me and I’ve never seen him happier. “She’s going to make it. Everything be damned if she’s going to come back.” He says, giving me a smile that I have not seen on his face in a while. 1

“She is,” I say softly as I walk over to the bed and Jai goes around the other side, caressing her hair and her cheek. His heart is racing and my own fills with warmth. He really needs this. “Valerie…” Jai says, lifting her hand and kissing it tenderly. “You got this…”

I take her other hand, praying for her to wake up quickly, but I remain silent as I stand there, smiling softly watching Jai whisper encouragement to her.

“She will wake up,” I say after he falls silent, gazing down at her and I believe it. He’s remained strong, not given up hope, but seeing him like this meant deep down he did fear losing her…

I look at the moon before I kiss her forehead gently. I’m happy yet exhausted. The events of the day have been too much.

“Thanks, Zaia,” Jai says quietly. “You didn’t give up hope, and she’s getting better. Thank you for not allowing her family to pull the plug. I look across at him and shake my head.
