The Day When They Stole My Clothes

At some point during the walk back, I must have dozed off. I know this because when my eyes reopened, I was in a very large, very fluffy, very comfortable bed. It was like a cloud came to earth and offered up its body as a sacrifice in an effort to provide human comfort. In short, it was incredible.

The last thing I remembered was complaining that Gavyn should put me down and let me walk on my brand new physical-ish legs, then I was waking up in the bed sent straight down from the angels in heaven.

Staring up at the ceiling, I contemplated moving. Then again, it was my first time sleeping in two weeks and I was really enjoying feeling that dragging sensation that wanted me to just stay in bed forever. Or maybe that was the bed doing it. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if that were the case.

"Kismet?" Zeph's voice called outside the closed bedroom door. He knocked a few times for good measure and I snickered.

"The princess is awake!" I called. I sounded a little drunk or high or something, but I didn't care. I was well rested and not disappearing or deteriorating, and that was as good as it got in my new opinion.

Slowly, the witch hunter opened the bedroom door to find me lying back in the bed with my arms folded under my head. His eyes sparkled mischievously and I had to hide the audible gulping sound I made. "So, uh, you're doing okay then?" he asked nervously. "Not like, dead again, right?"

"I was, and then I woke up in a bed made of pure heaven," I joked.

"The bed revived you, then, did it?" he asked with a hearty laugh that made my insides warm.

Goddess, it was good to feel again. "Or killed me, however you want to look at it." I paused thoughtfully. "Actually, nope. That would be the ride home on the human taxi service."

Zeph laughed again, but he still didn't move out of the doorway. It made me a little nervous. "It's weird to hear your voice and see your face. The way you talked through Jad and Gav, well it doesn't match up, you know?"

"Sorry, I'm afraid I don't know," I answered with a shake of my head. I sat up in bed to get a better look at him instead of straining my neck.

That was when I realised I was mostly naked, save an oversized t-shirt. What had I been wearing when I became real again? I was pretty sure I had still been wearing the t-shirt, hoodie, and jeans that I had sort of died in. Hadn't I? With the cold weather, I was sure I would have known if I wasn't wearing anything more than a big shirt that didn't even cover my ass.

Talk about humiliating.

Clearing my throat, I glared down at the sheets, feeling indignant and violated. "Where are my clothes?" I asked Zeph.

"Oh, um," he started, stumbling with his words.
