137 If only looks could kill … Lyla I jolted awake .

My body was trembling as I gasped for air , my vision was blurry and my head pounded .

Nathan had been trying to pull me from Xander before someone whose face I couldnt see tackled him to the ground .

In my desperation in between Xander pulling me and Nathan struggling .

I had felt that familiar anger .

It started small , the thought that Nathan would be hurt because of me had burned through my heart , coursing through my veins … the last thing I remember was screaming ..

But now , Nathan was perched on the edge of my bed , in an unfamiliar room .

Nanny hovered at the foot of the bed her eyes were swollen and she was trying to hold back her tears .

The High Priestess was there too , there was a wispy smile on her face and Ramsey ….

He was leaning at the wall , our eyes met and held ….

Oh , gods ! Nanny cried as she ran to me engulfing me in a hug .

Youre back … oh … I was terrified .

I feared the worse , oh … My body still felt faint , and my vision was unstable but I allowed her to rock me .
