CAMILLA’S P.O.V

I knew I wasn’t dead but I was close to it. After Alastair bit me, all I could feel was pain radiating throughout my entire body. It felt like a thousand tiny needles were going through me at the same time. I couldn’t move or speak at all and then everything went black. For a while, it was just black, like I was suspended in a limbo or something. I could hear everything that went on around me. I heard the physicians say that there was no cure. I heard Ryker when he whispered in my ears but I could not speak or even move until one moment.

I don’t know how it happened but one second, I was in a limbo and the next, my hand was grabbed and everything came crashing down. I wouldn’t be able to explain it even if I tried. I just blinked one moment and although I was in the darkness, I wasn’t suspended anymore. It was almost like I was now aware of myself. A part of me knew that it meant I was slipping further into death but I couldn’t bring myself to care when I noticed who was holding my hand.

“Mother?” I blinked a few times to be sure it was her but the figure in front of me did not change. She smiled softly at me and I couldn’t help but throw my hands over her shoulders.

She had not changed one bit. Her hair was tied in a perfect chignon and she had on a dress of rubies. She looked happier than she did while she was alive and I was grateful that death was treating her kindly. She deserved all the happiness in the world.

“I wasn’t expecting to see you around here soon,” she pulled back from me and then slapped the back of my head. “Maybe if you stop throwing yourself into bad situations then you wouldn’t need to be here.”

“What are you talking about?” I mumbled as I rubbed the sore spot that she hit. “I didn’t even do anything.”

“Camilla, darling, I have been watching every single one of your actions since I died; would it kill you to talk to Ryker every once in a while before you make a decision?” I opened my mouth to speak but she cut me off. “Don’t answer that, we don’t have a lot of time. I need to make this as quick as possible.”

“What do you mean?” Is something happening?”

“I shouldn’t be here. I was sent here by the goddess to speak to you. She thought it would be better if I was the one who came. There is only so much she can do
