Chapter fifteen: Lost

Falyn woke with a sharp pain in her head. She rolled to her side and fortunately the pain faded away. Breathing hard, she looked into the darkness. The moon was now slipping out of the sky: soon dawn would light the land.

She stood on shaky legs and looked about her. She could hear the sound of rushing water, she needed to wash her face, and Falyn felt she wore most the dust from the cliffs. It was not hard to find the large river. Thankful for its cool water, she splashed it on her face, drinking a few swallows before taking a seat by the bank.

Falyn wanted to leave this world urgently. She did not like the way it was wreaking havoc on her body. These headaches hit so hard and she had never had so many in all her life! She had a feeling.… And then pain came and it would not let her finish her thoughts. Her mind was forcing her to think about something else, about her Druid power. As odd as she knew this was, she let her mind wander where it wished.

The pain subsided and she felt a sense of power. It was this which made her head hurt. This voice inside her inner mind was almost pleading with her to believe this. And the moment she fought the idea, the second she thought it was wrong, the pain came and she once more gave in, buying into the statement her mind fed her.

I am The One, she told herself, I am strong. I will help bring down the waste of this world! She felt the power in her blood rushing through her body with every beat of her heart. And she was at peace; once more.

Falyn was in a hurry to get going. She had a feeling she was close to the Gate and the sooner she got there, the quicker she could start righting the wrongs in both her worlds.

“Falyn!” She heard Luria calling her name.

“Over here,” she answered, coming out of the woods.

“Thank goodness! I thought you lost, or worse!” The girl’s eyes were wild with worry, pulling at Falyn’s heart strings.

“No, I just needed to use the river for a moment,” she assured her.

“We should head out,” Luria told her.

“Yes, I can feel the Gate is close,” Falyn nodded.

Luria looked slightly shocked over this.

“You can?” Luria asked.

“Um yes. I feel I am close to getting the hell out of here,” Falyn smiled.

“Oh” Luria said with a smile herself, but it was a forced smile.

Before Falyn could ask what was wrong, Luria was busy giving orders to the men and packing her stuff. Falyn packed too. She would have to wait until later to ask Luria what was wrong.

Alex gave her a long, hard look, as though he was trying to find something. Falyn had that feeling from him ever since the night of her change. Was he still worried about her? About this place? For a moment she wanted to tell him she felt his concern, but, like before, her mind pushed the idea way.
