Three days passed, and I didnât see Anton or Allium. He stayed locked in his bedroom under Perrineâs orders. She stayed around the flat and assured me that leaving him to rest was the best thing for him. I passed the time reading, desperate to keep my mind occupied and avoid my encounter with Allium replaying in my head. Iâd never had the time for it back in my old life, but here, it was almost becoming a hobby. Along with running of course.
Iâd thanked Perrine countless times for what sheâd done. Iâd been able to stall things, but I didnât possess the healing attributes she did in order to mend him. Sheâd assured me that while painful, the wounds were superficial and while heâd have some scarring, there wasnât likely to be any lasting physical effects.
As far as mentally, we would have to wait and see.
By the end of the third day, I gave up on books and paced in my room, debating whether to knock on his door. Being afraid of what Iâd find, I finally made myself some dinner to distract myself.
My feet cooled on the kitchen tiles and a breeze from the open balcony door showed someone was out there. I knew Perrine had gone out to get supplies, so it could only mean one thing.
He was awake.
I darted outside, slowing when I saw Anton smoking on the outdoor sofa, as if his body had not just undergone a significant trauma. The t-shirt he wore highlighted every ripple of muscle, and it was snug enough to expose the bandages underneath. Angry red lines snaked down his neck and disappeared under the fabric. Another ran up his arm. Given the state heâd been in mere days ago, it was a miracle it looked the way it did.
I had so many questions. What happened to him? Did Allium mean the things he said? The things Iâd heard in his mind. Iâd been turning them over for days. But I wasnât sure how fragile he was, so instead started with something easier.
âShould you be doing that?â I sat down next to him, pointing at the cigarette. âI thought you were supposed to rest.â
Anton took a long drag. âIâve recovered for three days. I was lucky to have a talented healer present, thanks to you, so my body is fine. Allium, however, needs to rest, so he wonât be coming forward for a while.â
âWill he be alright?â
Anton took another drag, exhaling slowly. âThe major damage was to his mind. Iâm only grateful that you were there to prevent even more from happening. Thank you.â
âHow did it happen? Who was responsible?â The questions poured from me, unable to contain myself.
âItâs complicated. Iâll tell you in time, but now is not the time.â
Well, that was cryptic. But I carried on asking, anyway.
âWhat state is his mind in?â I pressed, aware it must seem odd, me suddenly showing concern for Allium, but when it was life and death, things changed.
