FIFTEEN

Sound returns. Brightly bouncing in my head. Jumping on my achy joints.

Snippets of sentences wander my brain. Not from my mouth. That doesn’t work.

Shaking again. So. Damn. Hot. Not flames in my veins now. Just a glowing ember that flares with each movement, each brush of something against my stretched tight skin. Somebody should put me out already.

“Does she know?” No. I don’t. Who said that?

“…about her?” Same strange voice.

“…be okay?” A familiar timbre made of green gold light.

Cool, cold, wet against my face, my forehead. Gentle strokes down my cheek.

“So sorry.” Green words again.

A lick of flame, smaller but growing, shoots up my leg and out my mouth in a scream.

Next is sight, but it’s not right. Oh goodness, now I’m rhyming.

Things are too fuzzy, too vague. Solid shapes move and moving shapes stay still. Blinking doesn’t help, so just close my eyes again.

Ah, that’s better. Closed eyes work better than open ones.

The familiar barrage of metal and buildings resolves into one simple room. White walls. White floor. White. White. White…and red.

Red hair, tousled, too long and limp. Jace. Thin and pale, but there. Or here? Then he’s gone again.

Open eyes and all I see is soft and safety green. Warm lips press against my forehead, followed by the cold wet over my face, down my arms. Relief until the fire flares up again.
