Angel Heart Chapter 14

In the darkness, a succession of visions hit. Each one more debilitating than the last, and I bellowed with pain, but my cries were soundless in this horrifying black pit. Death intruded in many forms, starting with my sister and then my older brother. My mother and father were next and my heart thundered in agony.

Some of the memories were mine, but a great many were sourced elsewhere. Memories of a concrete prison blanketed me, and the deaths in that place were just as violent as my mother’s. Other memories layered over my parents’ memories, and until I saw an infant fitted with an explosive onesy and Jennifer’s wide eyes, I realized I was seeing the more devastating moments in Steve’s life. His experiences were even more painful than mine.

A blood mist blanketed the room along with a sound that pressed on my eardrums, sending a shot of torture through my entire form.

I sat up screaming, the sound like rough sandpaper drawn over lead escaped from my throat. Valerie stood next to my bed with a syringe in her hand and a panicked look on her face like the devil had just jumped out from the closet.

I couldn’t catch my breath, not with the dozens of deaths now emblazoned in my memory. When the room started to spin, I dropped my head to my knees, forcing myself to breathe, despite the energy each labored breath drew.

A cool sensation covered the back of my neck and I turned, meeting Valerie’s much calmer gaze. She removed the washcloth and dipped it in the bowl of cool water before pressing it against my skin again.

“How long this time?” I asked.

She uttered a hysterical laugh and met my gaze.

I glanced around at the surroundings, confirming I was still at the house and then back at her. I sat up slowly, wincing at the deep ache present in every muscle. That alone gave me a clue it was more than just a couple of hours. “How long?” I said, this time with more force.

“A couple of weeks,” she whispered. “And your heart stopped twice.” Her eyes filled with tears and she showed me the syringe. “I thought I’d have to use this again.”

“What is that?” I asked, homing in on the long, nasty looking needle.

“Adrenaline shot to restart your heart,” she said. “My healing powers did nothing this time.”

“Holy shit,” I said and rubbed my face, trying to grasp the current situation through the clutter of so many horrific memories. “What happened after I passed out?” I asked without the thick stutter. It seems the connection between my brain and mouth wasn’t quite as bad as it was before I dropped into memory land.

She bit her lip and tears formed again. “Tom was hauled in for killing Raven’s father.”

“What?” I snapped, clearly recalling the entire situation. If anything, it was self-defense.

“They came to the same conclusion,” Valerie said, reading my thoughts. “I was the only solid witnesses. Steve hadn’t fully come to at that moment and Jennifer focused her attention on him, not the situation.
