Chapter 16

Ettrian

Someone is crying out for help. The sound of their screams bounce around inside of the dark depths of my mind, clawing, and hammering at me relentlessly. Xia? Why does she sound so distressed? My fingers reach out to the shadow of her but come back with tendrils of smoke instead. Why can I not reach out to her? The bond, which is already weak, is growing weaker and weaker by the second. I cannot tell if this is another nightmare or if I have been captured again. Suddenly, a familiar soft voice breaks through the darkness as I struggle to push myself toward consciousness.

“Ettrian?” Kareen whispers. “I don’t know if you can hear me inside the tree, but I wanted to tell you that I’m really scared.”

Again I shove against the darkness trying to rise above the sea of emotion that floods me. The need to be free and help my mate is so strong that I feel overwhelmed by it. Everything within me screams to reach out to her, but I find nothing when I try. She is not there and that terrifies me more than anything. The fear in my kit’s voice breaks my heart and I fight harder, swimming up through the gloom that pulls at me.

“Xia told me she was going out to get more food while Aquilian took a nap. She said he was really tired because he found you and you were hurt.” She sniffles quietly. “I’m sorry you got hurt. The other guy that came in last night is being weird and Xia isn’t back yet. I don’t want Aquilian to leave me here to go look for her, but I want her to come home.”

The other guy? Sweet Sun Father, the other males that were sent by the aliens must have discovered my family before I made it back here. I am going to tear them to pieces. Again, I shove at the darkness. I will not let Kareen be afraid another moment longer.

“Please! I don’t want anything bad to happen to Xia. She’s the best mom I’ve ever had.” Her voice breaks and I hear her begin to cry. “I don’t remember my real mom, but I remember the first time I met Xia. She has a really, really big garden called a greenhouse and she showed me all of her flowers and how she plants them. Her mom and dad are super nice and I wanted them to be my grandma and grandpa, but now we aren’t on Earth anymore.”

The urge to comfort the kit is overwhelming. Warmth works its way through me and my muscles begin to twitch. Get up! Wake!

“I don’t want you to be gone either. I like having a mom and I really, really like having two dads. I don’t know anybody who gets to live with both of their dads. Please don’t leave us, Ettrian. Please come back so we can find Xia.”

I can never leave her, not even when my body grows old and frail do I think I will be able to part from her.
