Chapter Thirteen
Since I was in the direct path of Ameliaâs power, time slowed all around me, and each breath I sucked in felt agonizing. I was only a few feet away from my dear friend Aschere, and I feared that within a few seconds, Iâd witness his graphic and horrific death. The guardâs deep brown eyes were wide, his mouth was open in a silent scream, and his chest heaved. The massive slab of stone wavered inches from his face, and my outstretched hand moved sluggishly through the burning air. His terrified eyes shifted toward me, and the lines around them deepened as his gaze turned from me to the petite girl standing right behind me.
Aschere was more than just my guard and most trusted soldier, most importantly, he was my friend, and my heart broke realizing that he was this close to death. My army wouldnât survive this long without his aid and knowledge⦠Not only that, but the man had so much to live now, and since I was the one whoâd given it back to him, I couldnât allow his life to be snatched away so easily. The Queen and the aristocrats had taken away so much from our gender. Our families, friends, and freedoms, but I wouldnât allow them to take Aschere away from his newly reunited family and me.
âNo!â I roared and pushed forward through the thick molasses that separated the two of us.
I felt as if I were moving through quicksand, and no matter how hard I pushed my muscles, I couldnât step forward or grab him. My heart hammered in my chest, and cold sweat dripped down the back of my neck as flashes of my life without one of my dearest friends passed behind my eyes. For a painstakingly long moment, I saw what the past few months wouldâve been like if Aschere hadnât joined our side. We wouldâve made it through, but it wouldnât have been as easy without his help. He was too good of a man to die, and despite my strength, tears brimmed in the corners of my eyes.
Itâs challenging as a brute to make and maintain friends. That was why Aschere was so important to me and why I wouldnât allow the aristocrats, the soldiers, and the Queen to take him away from his family and me.
The slab came within inches of his face, and in slow motion, my friend bent his back almost to avoid it. The immense power from behind me intensified, and even though it loosened up its hold on me, a rose-pink illusion rushed out all around me. The shifting colors surrounded not only me but Aschere and the massive slab, too. Somehow I was able to move my body against the frozen state I was just in, and I slowly glanced over my shoulder where Amelia stood.
The petite brunette stood directly behind me with both of her tiny hands raised into the hair. Her doll-like face was pinched in a mask of pain, rage, and absolute sadness.
