Chapter 196 Audrey
Silver arrows rained down from a dark sky. Straight toward my mother, laying in her hospital bed, ho**d up to countless tubes and machines. "No!"
I ran to my mother's sleeping form and threw myself over her just moments before the first arrow hit, shielding her from the shower. I made it just in time; though the arrows pierced my back, blinding pain shooting through my body, she was safe. Protected.
Or so I thought.
When the arrows finally stopped coming, I pulled back, arms still wrapped around her.

I felt my stomach sink. My mother.... She was choking on my blood.
Liquid silver had seeped out of my wounds, pooling around her, soaking into the hospital sheets. As if it had a life of its own, it rose up and slipped into her mouth, her nose, her eyes, crept up her arms and legs and across her torso until she was completely covered.
Then, it covered me, too.
I didn't scream. Although I didn't know if that was because of the silver quickening in my lungs, or because I had lost the will to fight back.
I jerked awake with a gasp, my heart pounding in my chest. For a moment, I was disoriented, the nightmare still clinging to the edges of my consciousness. But then I realized I was in bed, in Edwin's apartment. How had I gotten here?
Last night's memories slowly began to fade back in, clouded as they were-Edwin carrying me out of the hospital, changing my clothes like a child, feeding me. It was all such a blur, I had been so fogged by three sleepless nights.
But I had slept through last night, it seemed, seeing as how the sun's light was just barely beginning to peek over the h**n.
As my eyes adjusted to the dim light of dawn, I saw Edwin moving around the room, pulling clothes out of drawers and shoving them into a duffel bag.
