Chapter Nineteen
Skye
âSkye, Skye please wake up! You guys, I don't know whatâs wrong with her, she wonât wake up,â I hear Drik yelling.
I let out a small moan because his yelling is killing my head. âDrik, please stop yelling,â I whisper.
He pulls me up into his arms and hugs me as hard as he can. I couldnât breathe, but I didnât care. Iâm home. Thatâs all that matters right now. I hug him just as hard.
âDonât you ever do that to me again! I thought I lost you forever. One second you were there, the next you disappeared. I didnât know where you went until Lex figured it out. How did you get inside the crystal?â
I pull away enough to get some air. âI will explain everything later. Right now, where is Semele?â
âYou mean the guy you brought back out with you? He is over there with Zoey and Layla.â
I turn my head in their direction. They are chatting up like they are old friends. What the hell? How was he not affected by the transition like I was?
âHelp me up. I need answers.â
Drik picks me up and places me on my feet. My head spins a little before I can get my bearings. When I do, I march over to Semele. âUm, hello? What are you doing and how are you not affected?â
He gazes at me like Iâm a bug. âBecause Iâm a god, and you are not. Iâm talking to these lovely ladies who were nice enough to help me.â
I take a deep breath to calm myself down. I will not let him get to me. I know all too well he is baiting me and Iâm not going to fall for it. âLetâs get to work. We donât have time to waste. Remember?â
âI think we have time to rest. Donât you ladies? I mean, after all, we used a lot of magic to get out of that thing.â He pointed to the now clear crystal on the ground.
My annoyance is growing with each passing second.
âSkye, he is right. You are barely standing on your own two feet,â Layla says as she places a hand around me before I collapse. My adrenaline must have been the only thing keeping me standing.
Drik picks me up and cradles me in his arms. âIâve got you. Letâs get you to our room so you can get some rest.â
I wanted to tell him I was fine, but I know he is right. I can barely hold my head up. Instead of arguing with him, I place my head on his chest. Before I know it, we are standing in our bedroom. He places me on my side of the bed.
âWhat can I do for you?â
âCome lay with me. I donât want to be alone right now.â
He smiles down at me and crawls over me bringing me into his arms when he gets behind me. I cuddle deeper towards him.
âYou scared the living hell out of me.â
âIâm sorry, I didnât know it was going to do that.
