Chapter 9

“He’s waking up!” I heard Zea shout, but it sounded like she was yelling from another room. I felt fingers wrapped around mine, but I couldn’t seem to get my eyes open to see who held my hand.

“Wahhh?” I tried to groan out my question, but my tongue felt heavy, and I wasn’t even sure I managed to get my voice to work.

“His fear is gone,” Madalena said. “Eve, can you detect his thoughts?”

“Yes,” the vampire replied, “and now I know why he would not wake up.”

“What the fuck happened?” Zea asked.

“It’s really bright in here,” I managed to say after I tried to open my eyelids again.

“Hey, Adam,” Zea said. “Are you okay? Let me get the light.” The fingers unwrapped from my hand, but another hand immediately grasped my hand.

“I feel like shit,” I said as I ran my swollen tongue across chapped lips. “Am I in my room?”

“No,” Eve replied. “We moved you to the infirmary when you would not wake up.”

The light beyond my eyelids dimmed, and I was able to pry them open. Sure enough, I was laying on one of the hospital beds in Persephone’s medical bay. Zea was walking back to me from where she had dimmed the lights on the wall, Eve held my left hand, and Madalena sat on my right.

“How long have I been unconscious?” I asked as I tried to sit up.

“Several days,” Madalena answered. “We have already docked at Wobbegong.”

“And you couldn’t wake me up?” I asked as I moved my hand up to touch my neck where the SAVO’s finger had dug into my skin. The pain was no longer there, but I could still remember most of my dream.

“No,” Eve replied. “You would not wake, and I was unable to see what you were dreaming.”

“But Madalena could feel that you were afraid,” Zea said. “Are you okay? What the fuck happened?”

“This has happened before,” I said as I looked at Eve. “I’ve dreamed of our enemies, and fought with them, but this time I understood it was a dream. I still couldn’t escape though. I don’t know what any of it means.

“Tell us what happened,” Madalena asked as she handed me a glass of water. I drank it as if I had not tasted water in two weeks, and she went to fill it again when I started my story.

I told my three lovers about the dream as I sipped the second glass of water. When I got to the part about Persephone, the three women asked for more details about her appearance and her language. I lost track of time while I spoke, but I figured that about an hour passed before I reached the end battle on the bridge and the woman who had looked somewhat like Eve.

“This is not the first time you have dreamed of her,” Eve stated.

“No,” I said. “This feels like they are attacking me, but I don’t understand how that is possible. If Persephone showed me a map of these fucker’s home system, it’s all the way on the other side of the galaxy.
