CHAPTER FOURTEEN

My skin trembled, but I was burning on the inside. A draft flowed over me, a cold and wet one, like a thick fog leaving a chilling mist behind. But I couldn’t raise my hands to wipe it off. I was powerless to lift anything, not even my eyelids. They were too heavy.

Sounds surrounded me. Echoing sounds, like voices in a distant tunnel. I couldn’t make out what they were saying because the fog seemed to have entered my brain, and when I willed myself to shake my head to clear it. Nothing.

What had happened to me?

Even my thoughts seemed lost. Fleeting impressions inundated me, but I couldn’t grasp them. I was at home with Nora. I was in the park with Hunter. No, I was in Hell. Had the darkness overtaken me for good? Oh no, I was with the angels. I was safe with them. Hunter was here. Or was it Braydon. Was I dreaming?

The voices grew louder. I tried to call out to them, but my lips failed me.

My body seemed anchored or tethered, but to what I didn’t know. I just wanted to move to know I… existed, to know I was somewhere… any place real.

A deep, muted voice was suddenly so near me I might have jumped if I’d had any control over my body. Then something whispered over my cheek, like a feather brushing against it.

I flinched from the contact, and it was the most welcomed awareness. In fact, I did exist.

My body started to wake. Blood flowed within, leaving needle like sensations along its path.

Then, without assistance from me, my head began to clear, and along with it, the voices.

No, it was only one voice, and that familiar voice froze my blood once again.

“Wake up, sleepyhead,” he said in a lover’s croon. “I’ve missed you.”

I wasn’t in Hell. I was somewhere much worse.

Caleb.

I wanted to slip back into that nothingness. Feel nothing, be nothing. The unknown was better than hearing that voice in my ear again.

“Come, my queen. I have so much to show you.”

Once again, fate had come down like a lightning bolt splitting the earth in front of me, jarring me from my path, forcing me to step into the darkness I was so carefully trying to avoid. It seemed no matter how much I tried to shape my destiny, it kept molding it in such a way as to make it unwieldy.

“Hmmm… maybe a kiss to wake my Sleeping Beauty.”

I fluttered my eyes open.

“Ahhh… there she is.” He loomed above me, his face mere inches from mine, a smirk covering it from ear to ear. “Welcome home. Well, technically this isn’t home, but close enough.”

“How?” I managed to ask, my tongue so thick it was difficult to form words. “Where?”

“So many questions,” he said, staying next to me as he stood back up. “We’ll get to them soon enough. First we must say our goodbyes to your escort. I’m sure he’s eager to get back.”

He turned his head toward someone or something in the distance, but I couldn’t see from my angle.
