…I sat up, gasping, batting at my head with my hands.

Just like that afternoon, I found myself lying on my back on the carpet, but instead of virtual stars, I see the low, white-painted ceiling of the stateroom.

My head hurts. A sharp pain throbs my skull, but also a feeling of despair.

I realize I’m still partway in the Barrier. I dig my nails into my arm, trying to force myself the rest of the way out.

My eyes clicked back into focus.

The silver light still clung to my head in some undefinable way, so I sparked outwards with my aleimi, trying to get it off me.

All I felt was amusement, laughter as the being left.

I was still sitting there, gasping, when a sharp knock rattled the cabin door.

I turned to stare at it, fighting to breathe.

Revik wouldn’t knock.

“Allie?”

I recognized the Irish accent.

Eliah. My mulei teacher.

“What the hell’s on in there, love? What’re you doin’?”

Only minutes had passed. Seconds, maybe.

White hands on green mirrors. Blood with water.

He was thirsty. So fucking thirsty. Everything hurt, and…

Pain blinded me. I held my head, biting my tongue as hard as I could.

“Yeah,” I managed. “Okay. What do you want?”

I don’t remember saying he could come in, but the door opened.

Eliah crossed the threshold into the room and stopped, looking around as if startled by a strange smell. Closing the door behind him, he studied me, head cocked.

“What’ve you been doin’ in here, love?”

I pulled myself shakily to my feet.

I couldn’t help but wince at the bruises from our earlier fight in the ring.

“Feeling sorry for myself, for sucking so hard at mulei,” I said, forcing a smile. I clenched my hands to keep them from shaking. “Why? Do you want to kick my ass again?”

He smiled. His sharp eyes didn’t leave my face.

“You all right, love?”

“I’m fine. What’s up?”

There was the barest pause.

“Orders.” He hesitated, then glanced at the bed, as if involuntarily. “To hear tell it, your other half will be out for a while. I’m supposed to keep you company until he gets back.” Trailing, he watched me rub my temples. “Allie-bird? Seriously. You don’t look so hot.”

I flinched at the nickname.

My mother had called me that.

Revik said a lot of our thoughts and memories would float around the construct, though, that it was part of sharing a construct with other seers. I knew it didn’t mean anything. I’d been thinking about my mom a lot, so yeah, it made sense.

It still made me feel sick.

Casting around for something to keep me focused on the room, I dug my nails into my palm as Eliah sat on the bed. I watched him look out through the balcony doors.

When the pause went on too long, I cleared my throat.

I’d never seen him in street clothes before, apart from glimpses through the door when he guarded our stateroom. He had two different-colored eyes, one nearly black, the other blue, yet with his hair combed back and the blue sweater he wore, the combination worked well with his square jaw and salt-and-pepper hair.
