Chapter 16

Robin was screaming again, and Hal had no clue what to do. Again. Frustration whipped through him sharper than a knife.

“Rin! Robin, talk to me!”

He could tell she was trying to form words, but the pain was too overwhelming. Standing, Hal pulled on his boxers and jumped downstairs, grabbing ice and wetting a towel with cold water. If nothing else, he could try to ease the pain. Last time, it had been the markings on her back that hurt; he was willing to bet the same thing was happening again. Whatever it was, it seemed to happen when they were close to having sex, or just being intimate with each other.

She wouldn’t have been able to see them, or at least, not very well, with the markings being on her back, going up into her hairline. Hal was going to take a damned good look at them once the pain subsided and try to figure out what was going on with them.

Hal jumped back upstairs. Robin’s scream had quieted into groans as she rocked herself, trying to soothe whatever was happening inside her.

“I’ve got some ice, Rin. I’m going to put it on your back to try and help, okay?”

She nodded, although her eyes were still squeezed shut.

He gently rolled her onto her stomach and laid the towel-wrapped packet of ice over the mark while running the cold, damp towel over her forehead. Fraction by fraction, he could see her muscles relax, the tension that had gripped them while she was in pain fading away before his eyes.

A weight he hadn’t realized was there eased off his heart. He hadn’t expected the fear. He was usually pretty clear-headed in a crisis, but when it came to Robin, he was swamped with emotions he never expected. At that moment, it was fear that he would lose her when he hadn’t even had a chance to help her live again now that she was free.

Eventually, after a few incredibly long minutes, Robin’s face turned toward him.

“Thanks,” she croaked out.

“Any time, although I would rather this not happen to you at all.”

“Me too.” She laughed, but with how raw her throat was, it sounded almost like a cough instead. She took a few deep breaths and sat up to face him.

Even now she was stunning. Hal had to keep his mind focused on the mission, and currently the mission was to find out what the hell was happening to Robin. “Do you have any idea what’s causing it?”

“It’s something to do with the mark.”

“I figured that much, but why at those specific moments?” Hal rubbed the back of his neck. He was getting a bad feeling about this.

“Your guess is as good as mine. The only thing we can do is find Nimue. I’m hoping that since she put it on, we can get her to take it off. I promised her that when I escaped, I’d find a way to go back for her. I just didn’t expect it to be so soon.
