Chapter Twelve

As soon as I step through the portal, my connection to the node is severed. I fall to the ground screaming in agony from the pain. I have become so deeply connected with the Lorcan node that my body feels as if it needs it, like a drug.

Manu reaches me first, lifting me within his big strong arms as pain continues to send shocks through my body. I am unaware of my surroundings except for the man holding me. My body jostles in Manu's arms as he begins running.

I do what instinct dictates of me and reach out to the nearest node. My body thinks I need it. Thrum . . . then a long pause before I hear another thrum. This node is asleep. It is not responding to my need. I can feel my body go limp as I now wage a mental war, willing the node to awake.

Wake, sister, I need you! Please. Please. Wake!

Thrum . . . . Thrum . . . . The thrums of energy from the node are getting closer together. Then boom! I am hit with the full force of an awakened node. My entire body heats and Manu’s hands give way. I drop onto a cold stone floor. I roll over, plastering my cheek to it and willing the stone to cool my fire.

It takes only seconds for Rhett and Trey to come to my rescue. Their hands touching me allows some node energy to disperse through them. I manage to open my eyes. Thrum . . . . Thrum . . . . Thrum . . . . The room is moving in and out to the now steady heartbeat of the node.

“She is still burning up.” I hear my mother’s voice near me. Several people are talking, but I can’t separate one voice from another.

I close my eyes in an attempt to calm the spinning situation and plead with the node again. “You know me. I know you know me. I have visited you, please help me. Please.” The words come out of my mouth in what sounds like delirious rambling.

What matters is that the node hears me and is no longer rejoicing in being awake and sending all of her energy out into the world. Instead, I am enveloped in a cool loving energy. I feel myself relaxing into the familiar thrum of a node. We may not have known each other personally until now, but somehow we have known each other. This node is my friend and is welcoming me home. I fall asleep within her embrace.
