Raven

Rhyland and I silently stare at the door that Kingsley stormed out of for a lengthy amount of time until finally I can’t take the maddening silence anymore.

“He’s acting offish,” I comment confusedly. Between him and Rhyland, Rhyland always seemed like the offish of the two. Kingsley seemed more blunt, even in past memories. “Kingsley, I mean.”

“Yes, he is,” Rhyland mumbles, his gaze practically burrowing a hole into the door.

“Do you want to go check on him?” I brush strands of my hair out of my face, noting how tangled my hair is. How long has it been since I showered?

The fact that I have to ask myself that question makes me cringe.

He shakes his head. “It won’t do any good.” He finally looks at me. “I’m not sure how much you remember about my brother, but he’s not the kind of vampire to tell you stuff unless he wants to.”

“So then what? We just wait around until he feels like telling us whatever he knows about that night? Because what if it’s something important? That could maybe even help me figure how to break the curse completely before the queen decides to end it by killing me? Because personally, I don’t want that to happen”

“That won’t happen,” he vows fiercely. “And if what Kingsley knew would help you break the curse, he’d tell you if he could.” He looks away. “He cares about you too much.”

“If you say so.” But lack of not knowing everything unsettles me and has me question just how much I even know about the curse and my relationship between Rhyland and Kingsley.

I thought because my memories were returning that it meant I wasn’t in the dark anymore. But now I feel like I’m drifting in an unknown sea of darkness, which I guess doesn’t make any sense since, according to Rhyland and Kingsley, I’m currently floating around in a creature made of light.

“Am I really inside a creature?” I ask as reality washes over me.

Rhyland offers me a tiny smile but worry haunts his eyes. “Yeah, I guess you sort of are.”

“It seems sort of disgusting, although its light is very pretty.” I sink down on the bed with a sigh. “How long do we have to stay in here?”

He sits down beside me, so close that the sides of our legs touch. Instinctively, I start to scoot away, like I would’ve only weeks ago, but my body doesn’t seem to want to cooperate anymore.

Damn traitor body.

“We haven’t decided yet.” He tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear, and I sort of feel sorry for him, since my hair is like a bats’ nest and has got to be pretty yucky. “I’m not sure how much Kingsley told you about what happened before we came into the shimmer blob or how much you remember…”

“I remember up until you put the freezing spell was put me. And Kingsley didn’t tell me much about what happened after that.”

“Then what were you guys doing in here after you woke up?” He shakes his head, his jaw set tight.
