Chapter Eleven

Ayah’s head hurt. The last thing she remembered was being carried, and Sevani’s warm embrace, after feeling the pain of the bullet that went into her skin. She had never felt something quite like that in her entire life. Hell, she had never even gotten into a fight before. Having three older siblings deterred anyone from trying to fight with her. She was embarrassed that she had made the most intelligent decision in her life by running downstairs in the middle of a firefight. But she hadn’t thought about what it could do to her. The only thing that ran through her mind was that Sevani could’ve been hurt.

She didn’t know exactly when he had become so important to her. He hadn’t been in her life very long, but the second that beam of light had connected their chests, she knew he was hers. She never imagined having feelings for someone that were so strong. Not to say that she loved him. She didn’t think it was as far as that just yet, but falling? She undoubtedly was. She wished that he was here. She missed him—the touch of his hands, the heat in his eyes, the desire in his mouth. She came alive when he was near her. She didn’t even recognize the woman she had become. Her last few days were entirely wrapped up in him, surrounded, moments that she was awake and in his arms or asleep and dreaming of him. Was she crazy that she didn’t really care? Probably, but people weren’t always smart when it came to love. She groaned, her head falling forward loosely. Forward? She was lying down. How was that possible? She forced her eyes to crack open. She was looking at a rough stone wall in a drab gray. Where was she?

Wherever she was, it was barely lit. A single torch was against a wall, the flames flickering but casting moving shadows everywhere. She turned her head slightly to see if she could make out anything around her, and the motion made her head pound. Her mind felt clouded, her limbs heavy and her stomach churning. If it flipped one more time, she was worried she was going to spew what little she had in her stomach. Come to think of it, she couldn’t remember when she ate last. And then she thought, what did that even matter?

She struggled to make sense of the things around her. At first all she could register was colors: gray, silver, black, white, and pale skin. After a few minutes of staring, she realized that she was looking at her own arm shackled slightly above her head to the wall by thick silver manacles. The black she had seen were spots dotting her vision. She swung her gaze to the other side, hissing at a wave of dizziness. Her other arm was secured as well. She looked down at herself and saw that she was in what appeared to be a white robe. And she was kneeling on the ground, her knees scraped and bleeding.
