Chapter Eleven

They were a sea of bodies that made a mass wall of concrete. Impenetrable. Hard. Deadly.

All the spirits were crowding me in a way they hadn’t in months. Not since Oliver had spoken to them and explained I was doing everything I could to help. I hadn’t experienced this kind of feeling in so long.

It took me off guard.

I was stupid to think it wouldn’t happen again.

“You have to help.”

“He’s coming.”

“It hurts so much.”

“It’s a constant pain. It’s killing me.”

“The burning. The burning!”

“You’ve got to do something.”

“Please make it stop.”

“I am begging you to fix this.”

Their words of pain and desperation echoed around me until it was nothing more than a storm of letters. They didn’t form sentences, they didn’t spell anything in particular.

All they did was hurt.

And drown.

I was going down before I realized what was happening. Either that or the ground was coming up to greet me. My knees crumpled as my arms tried to cover my head – like that would actually protect me from all the noise.

All. That. Noise.

Someone was screaming.

I think it was me.

The spirits all crowded around, giving me no room to escape from the prison they held me in. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. All I could do was feel and I wished I could shut them down. I wanted to be numb. I wanted to feel nothing.

“Everly.” The word was a command, not a question or a cry for attention. It was someone summoning me.

“Everly.”

I couldn’t focus on the owner of the voice. All the other ones drowned him out. They were more forcible, more insistent, more desperate.

“Everly, come back to me. Tell me what’s wrong.”

Oliver?

No, not Oliver. He would know. He would be able to tell exactly what was going on. He wouldn’t have to ask. He wouldn’t demand my attention.

“Help me, please.”

“Help all of us.”

“The pain is so horrible. So, so horrible.”

“Our time is running out.”

“You have to do something.”

“He’s coming. I can feel it. He’s so close.”

“Get up you stupid girl and do something.”

“Now! We can’t leave it too late.”

Too many voices.

“Everly!” Harsher now.

Jet.

I could smell his familiar, musky scent. He was close to me. I couldn’t see him through the black river of words, but he had to be there.

An arm threaded underneath my knees, another slid around my back. He pulled me against him and we were rising. Up, up, up and away. We moved but I couldn’t do anything except try to block them all out.

They followed us. The spirits continued their relentless pursuit even though I could no longer understand them. They didn’t give up, but I didn’t blame them either. They were hurting. Their pain was leeching into my bones, covering my skin with its black tar.

Everything hurt. From the tips of my hair down to the ends of my toes, I ached and pulsed with agonizing pain. I was simultaneously on fire and freezing to death. I didn’t want to live with this kind of torture. It was going to kill me if I didn’t kill myself.
