I stopped by my room and grabbed a small bag of clothes and essentials. Then we went to Kris’s apartment and did the same thing. Then we set a confusing trail on the Plane as we traveled to and from several different locations before stopping in the forest. I blocked us from the Plane, blocking all our gifts, as we walked in cold darkness to Blood Falls cave.

I was soaked by the time we made it inside and Kris got right to work building a roaring fire. In truth, I thought I was dying. I’d never used that much power in such a short time period. The adrenaline of going on the run helped me get to the forest, but the hike from there did me in. My hands shook on the wet exposed stone of the mountain as we took the narrow footpath from the meadow to the falls, slipping behind the water like humans.

I began stripping my wet clothes off. All I wanted was to be warm again. No snow. No freezing water. Just heat. When I was naked I grabbed a fluffy towel and dried off every inch of my body. Then I wrapped a blanket around me and moved to sit on the rug by the new fire, thankful for any heat at all.

“Drink,” Kris thrust his wrist in my face.

“I can wait.” My entire body ached. It hurt so bad.

“I don’t need a bond to see you’re in pain. Take some. A start. Please?”

Our eyes met just as I sank into his skin. It was incredible I could feel such a connection to him even with everything else turned off. His blood was hot against my tongue and a moment later that heat flooded my veins, giving me some of my strength back and dulling some of the aching pain.

But I didn’t take too much. He needed his strength too.

“More.” He pushed his wrist back at me.

I blocked it. “That’s enough for now. Let me settle with it.” It was at least partially true. The sudden change was a lot and if I took more now it might overwhelm me.

Kris frowned but didn’t fight me. Instead he went back to tending the fire. I curled up on the carpet beside it, soaking in the heat. I must have dozed off because the next thing I knew, Kris had a pot over the fire and the air smelled of something delicious.

“How long was I out?”

“Half an hour, not that I’ve been counting the minutes. You sure like to scare the shit out of me.”

I felt bad for scaring him. “I’m tired, not dead.” Some of the pain had eased even more. My legs still ached, so did my hands and temples, but the rest were almost normal.

“I only know that because I’ve checked your pulse five times.”

I sat up, adjusting the blanket around my naked body. “I’m sorry.”

“You should’ve drunk more.”

“Would you have worried any less?”

He frowned at the fire as he stirred the pot. The worry lines seemed etched deep from years of frowning instead of brand new from tonight.
