Chapter Eight

“Wake up! You’ve got to wake up now. They’re here!”

I was deeply asleep, so deeply that it felt like I would never be able to wake up again. I wanted to wake up, that was for sure. I wanted to wake up but it was like something wouldn’t let me. My body felt frozen where I lay so that no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t move a muscle. That didn’t keep the part of my brain that was aware from hearing the knocking on the front door. It was more than a knocking. It was a pounding, and it made my heart freeze with fear. That kind of pounding was never a good thing. It was the kind of pounding I had heard before we opened the shuttle’s door and were yanked out and put on our knees by Shaley. It was the kind of pounding I had heard on my apartment door before the police showed up and hauled me off to jail.

“Come on now. I know you’re still tired, but you’ve got to wake up.”

I could feel my body being lifted into a seated position and smelled the warm cedar again. With what felt like an enormous amount of strength, I forced my eyes to open. When they did, I was staring into the eerily blue eyes of Radon. He was holding me in his arms, struggling to get me to wake up. For a moment, I was struck by the overwhelming urge to kiss him. Because it came out of nowhere, and maybe because it had been so long since a man had touched me with any kind of tenderness, it was an urge I couldn’t resist. I raised my head and touched my lips to his. At first, there was nothing but hesitation on his end. But then, miraculously, he was kissing me back. His lips were warm and sure, his kiss deepening quickly until I felt like I was falling into him. His tongue gently pried my lips open and slid deliciously into my mouth. He tasted like spices.

“Seriously? Great, this is just great. Now is not the time, Radon. Besides, I thought you didn’t want any part of this.”

Radon broke away from me and I saw a man I didn’t know standing in the doorframe (not that I knew anyone, I reminded myself, not anyone aside from Alecia). He had a similar look to Radon except that his skin was green and his frame considerably smaller. He had a look on his face like he simply couldn’t believe what was happening. Behind him, I could see Alecia peering down the hallway, a very similar expression splashed across her face.

“We’re coming, Petering. I was just waking her up.”

“It’s a funny way to wake a person up,” the one called Petering muttered as he turned and stalked back down the hall, “but I guess I can’t say I’m surprised.”

“Come on,” Radon spoke to me, all trace of the passion of our kiss long gone, “you’ve got to get up.
