Chapter 0074

There is so much pain. It’s everywhere, overwhelming me and my senses. I try reaching out to Artemis, but she is fighting her own battle. I can feel her struggle but cannot reach her. We will need to fight this from opposites sides and meet in the middle. While I’m conscious, I can’t open my eyes or move my body, so I use my other senses.

At some point, I smell brownies again. The scent helps my body relax. I feel hands holding mine. My right hand begins to feel normal, the pain pushed away by the hand holding it. I latch on to that feeling. The only place in my body that isn’t screaming in pain.

I periodically hear voices, I can’t make any of them out, but I think one is my father’s.

When I awaken the next time, the hand holding my right one no longer pushes the pain away. The scent of brownies is faint now and my body feels tight. I try to focus on the scent, hoping it will help me relax.

I feel a draft and the scent of brownies floods my senses again. I mentally sigh. The scent calms my aching nerves and gives me some peace. I hear the sounds of a chair scraping

on the floor and then a sudden release of the pain in my leg. The hand that was holding mine before is now on my leg. My mind relaxes and I let myself fall into blissful sleep.
