Chapter 10

“Fairy tales are more than true: Not because they tell us dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten.” –– G. K. Chesterton

Raven

There are so many things to do before we make our run for safety in the morning, and none of them have a guarantee of success.

Add to that the fact that my focus is shot, and our chance of escaping without any more losses or harm seems impossible. My thoughts seesaw between the loss of Andrew and the tantalizing connection between Orion and me. That he didn’t betray us, but instead was true to his word and helped me has me softening toward him. The man cared for my wounds, held me while I cried, and silently offered his strength while I had none. My attraction is growing. My resistance is crumbling, and I think I might finally be tipping the scales over into the land of crazy. Maybe one of the things I need to do is Orion?

Why am I suddenly thinking this way? I shouldn’t be. Yes, he’s extremely gorgeous and attentive, but I have enough to worry about. There must be a reasonable explanation. I know nothing about him or what he’s capable of. For all I know, he’s controlling my reaction. No. No man, human or otherwise, could have cared for me more tenderly than he did last night. I may not be familiar with his species or understand his abilities, but Orion has shown me his heart. He’s a good man. I can believe in that. The rest is just details. If we continue together, those will come in time.

I’m struggling to think about this in a logical manner. It has to be hormones or the fact that I’m wrestling with my own mortality. We could take a half an hour for ourselves, couldn’t we? Would he even be interested? I’m not stupid. I see passion burning in his eyes when he looks at me. Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed, and I know I’ll have regrets if the worst were to happen. The worst has already happened. Will I have regrets if I give in to this madness? Or regrets if I don’t?

The truth is, I’m scared. I’ve longed for someone to hold me and tell me everything will be all right, and at my lowest, he did. In all these months and even in the months before the cataclysm, there’s been no physical interaction for me. I want to feel alive. I need to feel something other than fear and sorrow. Is it happening now because I have someone available to me who isn’t family? Or is it because of this connection twining us together?

If it’s fate or destiny, do we even have a choice? The real question is, will I feel better, or will I feel worse afterward? Will I feel anything at all? Really, Raven? Will a quick fuck against a dirty wall fix anything?

Disgusted with my thoughts, I have the sudden urge to get away. I hurry past Orion where he’s perched at the front of the trailer.
