I couldn’t sleep. It wasn’t surprising, after the day that I had. It had started out just fine, even with Celeste in the house. Kezia and I had been getting along and just spending time together. It had been fun watching her play with the plants in the backyard, where she was really in her element. Given free range, I think our backyard would look like a jungle, with all the stuff she wanted to fill it with.

Then things had gone too far. I wasn’t even entirely sure how it had happened. Celeste went home and Kezia had been fuming. Celeste set her off in ways that I’d never seen before. Even my sisters didn’t get that worked up over my ex. Then Kezia and I had been in my room and she had been looking at me like she wanted to devour me.

Then she was kissing me and everything kind of went downhill after that. Well… First it got really good and then it went downhill. I knew what happened, even if I didn’t want to. The vision that I shouldn’t have had let me know everything.

She kissed me and my brain shut off. All thoughts ended. I just wanted to do what her gaze begged for. I wanted to devour her. We had ended up on the bed and I can’t even say for sure how we got there. I don’t remember moving her, nor do I remember laying her down. What I remember was her lips and how soft they felt against mine. The way her chest was pressed against mine, so that all I felt was her. Her body along mine, her hips accepting mine. It had been marvelous.

Until it wasn’t. The second she panicked, my brain clicked back on. Gods, the sound of her voice. The way she said my name. It was like she couldn’t get air in through her lungs. Her face had been so tight, but her eyes were the worst. Those beautiful green eyes had stared right through me, like she wasn’t even in the room. She had bolted and I just couldn’t get to her fast enough before she was out of my reach.

If I had managed to grab her, I don’t even know what I would have said. I could have apologized, but I’m not sure she would have heard it and… Damn it, what was I supposed to do if I did get her? If I grabbed her and she looked through me, it would have just panicked her more. She wouldn’t have been safe, with her friend, she would have been back in her own head.

Being abused.

When I saw that Zander had her, I had retreated, because I knew she was okay. Zander would keep her safe. That’s what he did. Everything would be fine, as long as he had her and as long as she didn’t see me. It wasn’t worth her pain, no matter how quiet the whispers were when she was around.

I had hidden in my room until I knew she was safely in Zander’s.
