Chapter Sixteen

Talon

“The human instinct to survive is strong.”

My mind kept flowing back to Dr. Carmichael’s words.

“You may have thought you wanted to die during that horrific month you were in captivity, but inside, in the very essence of you, your id—the uncontrolled part of your personality that contains your basic and instinctual drives—you wanted to survive. You wanted to live. And that’s why you said those words. To survive.”

“But I hated myself every time I said them,” I countered.

“Humans often do things they hate to survive. You’re hardly the first to do that.”

Deep down, even hating my circumstances, had I truly wanted to survive?

“But what about the news article? I went back in to rescue those people, knowing full well I could get my ass shot off.”

“Maybe your instinct kicked in again, your id. You thought you were going into it to die, but instinctively you dodged fire and pulled others out. Your soldier training kicked in. It was instinctive.”

I scoffed. “Now you’re making me sound like the hero everyone else thinks I am.”

Dr. Carmichael rose from her chair, her eyes serious, her countenance strong and firm. She stood directly in front of me, looking down, her green gaze penetrating mine.

“It’s time you realize something. You are a hero. You saved six people that day who couldn’t save themselves. And even more, you saved a scared ten-year-old little boy. You saved his life, Talon. When the uphill battle seems unwinnable, when you’re ready to throw in the towel, remember that. Remember your strength. You are worth something. And you deserve happiness.”
