Eli pulled himself up with the rocks that jutted out of the ground. He stood on the top of the small mountain and looked out over the Wood. He just stood there for a few moments under the angry clouds, excitement and elation running all through him. Sophie. Unusual, talented, vulnerable, beautiful, seductive, forbidden… These were the words he ascribed to her. He felt a rush as if his veins were filled with a tingly breeze. He felt high. The sensations inside him were totally foreign. He'd never felt such things before. He would not have thought it possible. The ecstasy of what he felt was short-lived as he abruptly remembered where he was supposed to be and why.

Guilt slammed into his chest like a physical blow. He had no right to feel what he felt. He had no right to spend time with Sophie. How could he desire her? How could he be so despicable? Was this how Ler felt when he first laid eyes on Shi? He'd never felt any pity for Ler. At least not until now.

Urgent to join his people, Eli began running. The physical exertion did nothing to shake his guilt. He hadn't done anything wrong. He hadn't put himself in her path for any reason other than to save her life. And he had… Or maybe he had. She might not have jumped. But still, he'd only reacted, his protective nature taking over and he had rushed to help. What happened after wasn't his fault. And it wasn't hers either.

So what did that mean? It meant he should never see her again. He knew that was the answer as soon as it came to him. The answer was hateful to him. The answer was pain and he felt nothing but wrath toward it. He ran faster, harder, burning through his emotions. What was he thinking? What was wrong with him? So what if he found her enticing? So what if he tasted bliss on her lips? So what if she was the most special creature he'd ever encountered?

She said if they were ever together again it couldn't matter. That was the only way, he acknowledged. It could only be a game between them and that was all. His traitorous mouth smiled without his consent. He'd play. He'd play as long as she played. And it would never be anything except a game. Never. He swore it to himself.

He slowed his pace as he entered the boundary of the Wood. He felt it in his feet, the anguish in the ground, the grief that wrapped around every root in the soil. His lungs constricted as he prepared himself to learn the reason, to learn the identity of those who had been lost. It was easy to find his way to the place everyone gathered. There was so much weeping, it overtook his hearing, the sound sliding down into his heart where it planted a bitter seed.

Nel and Dez were laid out on the ground beside one another in between their trees.
