Twenty-nine

Checkmate

White-hot agony exploded in my stomach. Metallic heat filled my mouth. I smelled scorched cloth. Ozone. The world tilted, and then I was looking up at the sky. The overwhelming pain calmed to a faint numbness. I couldn’t feel my legs. Couldn’t sit up.

Oh God, this is it.

Energy crackled around me. Someone screamed. Female. A thud and then a second shout—my name this time.

Twin emeralds obscured the sky, so wide they should have fallen out. Plopped to the ground. The emeralds blinked, swimming in liquid. Warm skin touched my cheeks. Something wrapped around my hand.

Noah.

I tried to say his name. Acknowledge him. The sound gurgled in my throat, blocked by thick liquid. It trickled over my lips and down my chin.

“Please no.”

Two words made it through the roaring in my ears. I was going to die. Queen had won.

I squeezed the hand in mine, trying to communicate that it was okay. I wasn’t scared, just numb and tired. An electrical surge danced up my arm, through my chest. It tickled its way up my spine and set my brain on fire. A tidal wave of emotion poured over me, crushing in its purity.

Fear. Love. Hatred. Dread.

Hope. Above all, hope rose to the top like a buoy, guiding me toward it. Memory swirled around me in a white mist, waiting to be let in. Consumed. Shared. My heart hammered. So loud. Another heart pounded in the distance, soft and gentle. But close, and growing closer.

All at once I understood. I stopped fighting.

I fell into the mist.
