CHAPTER 13

BIBA

Once Zephyr carried me out of the catacombs, I started to feel a little better. Feeling the sunlight on my face and filling my lungs with fresh air made all the difference, and it finally hit me that I was free. They saved me.

“How’s Sol?” I asked Zephyr, unable to see him.

“He’s bleeding a lot, but the knife didn’t puncture anything important,” Zephyr replied. He carefully carried me down a path leading away from the foot of the mountains.

Theo and Sol hobbled behind us. Sol’s complexion was turning paler, but he gritted his teeth and fought through the pain and blood loss to the best of his ability.

Once we made it a decent way from the catacombs and reached the edge of the woods, we stopped to check on Sol. Theo lowered him down to the ground carefully, helping him lean back against a tree.

“I wish I killed the bastard,” Sol grumbled beneath his breath as he stripped his shirt off and pressed the bloody, bundled cloth against his stab wound.

Zephyr set me down so that I could crouch in front of Sol.

“Please tell me you’re going to be okay,” I whispered as I reached out to place my hand on Sol’s cheek. He couldn’t die. I finally made it out, and I wanted to be with all of them again. I needed to tell each of them how grateful I was because they risked their lives for me.

Sol smiled softly as he placed his slightly shaky hand over mine.

“I’m not going anywhere,” he assured me. “I finally got you back.”

I smiled back, stroking his cheek. At least he was in good spirits. As long as he kept the bleeding under control, he could easily be stitched up and healed soon. Things could’ve turned out so much worse, and I was just glad that we all made it out with our lives intact.

Theo and Zephyr sat down on the ground where all three of them circled me. I didn’t feel intimidated, though. I felt protected. Though, it was strange seeing all of them together without being at each other’s throats.

Plus, it was incredibly surprising to see Zephyr in my rescue party. We hadn’t been on good terms in a while, and I thought he didn’t care for me at all anymore. He wouldn’t risk his life for me if he didn’t care, though. Something must’ve changed.

“Did I miss something while I was gone? Because I can’t remember a time when all three of you worked together without fighting,” I questioned them as I glanced between the three of them.

“Well, there was some fighting,” Zephyr said with a smirk. “But we do share one thing in common.”

I gave them a questioning look.

“Our love for you,” Theo told me with an adoring look on his face. “We would rather put our… disdain for each other aside and save you.”

My eyes widened in surprise. I couldn’t believe that I managed to get three sworn enemies to team up just to save me. It honestly touched me, and I couldn’t remember feeling so happy in a long time.
