Chapter 19

Aria

My eyes snapped open, and I tried to sit up, but a flash of pain caused me to freeze on the spot. The last thing I remembered was the blinding pain. It was hard to forget. I was getting a pretty familiar reminder of it right now, although if I concentrated, I was pretty sure it wasn’t quite as bad.

I took a few deep breaths to try and calm myself and then tried to take stock of my surroundings. I was on a soft bed, and my wings were supported beside me. A deep ache radiated up through my left-wing, and I couldn’t move it even a fraction. When I twisted to try and look a blinding flash of pain radiated from my stomach, and I grunted in surprise. That was new. I lifted the soft sheet, which was draped over me and looked down at my stomach to see a large dressing stuck to me. I didn’t remember that. I just remembered hitting the rock face and not too much after that. I was pretty sure we crash-landed. Kyle! I glanced around me in panic. Where was Kyle? Was he okay? Was he injured when I crashed? I should have listened when he clearly didn’t want to fly with me.

It took me a moment to remember I could contact the guys through the bond, and I almost kicked myself when I did.

“Kyle?” I whispered through the bond, almost afraid I wasn’t going to get a response.

No answer came, and my heart dropped down low into my stomach as I suddenly felt like I was going to throw up. I realised I might have been slightly over-reacting when they all suddenly burst through the doors and ran to my bedside. I was so happy to see they were okay, and Kyle had to push me back down to the bed as I tried to sit up and check him over.

“Are you okay?” I croaked out, my voice breaking from a dry throat.

“I’m fine. Barely a scratch on me, thanks to you,” he told me, dipping his head down and laying his forehead against mine.

“I was thinking about that,” Liam added. “I think Aria wrapping her wings around you would have stopped her from sustaining any more damage to them.”

I glanced nervously at my left-wing, which I hadn’t been able to move, and my heart sank at the implication. I felt my eyes grow wet, and a single tear escaped from the corner of my eye. Kyle saw it immediately and gently ran his thumb under my eye, brushing my tears away.

“I can’t move it,” I whispered to him.

“It’s broken,” he told me gently. “But the only reason you can’t move it at the moment is because it’s splinted to hold the bones in the right place. Because you’ve got so many bones in your wings, they had to put a lot of splints on it. It’s best not to try and move it until they set. The doctors are worried if it doesn’t set right, they’d have to rebreak the bones and set them again.
