Chapter 8

When I opened my eyes, a bright yellow orb was hovering over me. I laid still on the ground as I watched the orb bob up and down, slowly bouncing from left to right. I knew where I was, and even though it was just a dream, I was happy to be here, somewhere other than Monroe Academy. I was in the Wild Lands, or at least I assumed that’s where I was in this dream.

When I raised my hand, I smiled at the golden glow around the outline of it. The little orb glided towards my hand and sat on the back of it, tickling my skin with what felt like fur.

“What are you?” I asked with a chuckle. I tried to poke it with my other hand, but the orb glided away from my finger.

“I knew you’d come back,” a familiar voice said.

I cringed, feeling butterflies in the pit of my stomach, then slowly pushed myself into a sitting position. Soren was sitting on a tall rock next to the lake with his elbows resting on his thighs and his hands folded between them. His blond curls hung over his shoulders and his green eyes sparkled in the moonlight, but they weren’t glowing this time.

“Soren,” I said, not believing my eyes.

Soren gave a half grin. “Yeah.” He jumped down from the rock. “I wasn’t a hundred percent sure that you would come back to this spot, but I figured that the last place we were together is where you would form, you being a newbie and all.”

I was confused as to what he was talking about but didn’t ask. I was more focused on gaining the feeling back to my legs before trying to stand.

“Are you alright?” Soren asked as he approached me.

I tensed as he came closer, but when he crouched down in front of me and offered a smile, I relaxed. I was only dreaming, so there really was nothing to worry about.

I rubbed over my right knee. “My legs. They’re numb.”

Soren’s eyes traced down my legs and stopped at my toes. My eyes widened when he poked the bottom of my foot with his index finger. “Can you feel this?”

My cheeks warmed. “Yeah.”

“Okay, so try wiggling your toes. The feeling should be coming back to them soon.” he pulled his hand away and went back to watching me with a grin on his lips.

I stared back at him for a long moment before trying to wiggle my toes, and sure enough I was able to move them. “So, now what?”

“Try bending your knees.” He stood tall and waited as I slowly bent one leg at a time. “You should be able to stand now. Let me help you.” When he held his hand out for me, I stared at it as if he had twelve fingers. I wasn’t exactly sure of what I was supposed to do with it until Soren chuckled. “I’m not going to hurt you, I promise. I’m actually happy to see that you’re okay.
