Chapter Seventeen

I woke with a gasp, my heart thundering in my ears as I bolted upright in my bed and looked at my hand. The feel of the knife lingered in my palm, but nothing was there. No sticky blood and no knife. A shaky exhale turned into a sob. Why wouldn’t the dreams stop? How many times did I need to relive those moments for it to be enough?

Something to my left rustled, and I swiveled, my panic rising once more.

Merdon was leaning forward in his chair, his elbows braced on his knees as he watched me.

For a confused moment, I stared back. I itched to climb out of bed and crawl into his lap. I knew he’d comfort me. But I couldn’t forget the kiss he’d given me. If I went to him now, knowing what he was thinking, I’d be signing away the tattered remnants of my soul.

“Tell me what you dream,” he said softly.

Guilt and shame raged inside of me, and I suddenly understood why I still dreamed. What I’d done was so horrible, it belonged in the dark. So it would stay there, always.

Turning my back on him, I snuggled under the covers and tried to tell myself everything was fine. It wasn’t until my breathing calmed and my tears dried that I wondered how I’d gotten to my bed. After Angel had left, I’d turned on a movie. Obviously, I’d lost the fight and fallen asleep.

I closed my eyes, knowing the answer to my question sat in the chair beside my bed.
