I have no idea where I am. I remember pain and the devastation in Rarity’s eyes.
My hand flies to my chest and I glance down, not seeing anything, but I swear, something was there. Something happened.
Something horrible.
“Why am I here?” I whisper, rubbing my chest.
I feel empty. There are pieces of me missing.
I gasp when images bombard me. One by one, the moments come back to me. Erelix stabbed me. He killed me.
I am dead.
Bending over, I dry heave, the excruciating pain and doom of knowing I will never be with them again makes me ill. What am I going to do? How can I get back to them? Can I?
The ground beneath my feet is soft and dark, riddled with black pine needles. The trees are full, the branches thick with life, and fog stays low to the floor.
“Hello?” I shout, cupping my hands on either side of my mouth.
Hello. Hello. Hello.
My voice is echoed back to me.
“Is anyone there?”
There. There. There.
I spin around, looking for something, anything, but I am alone.
The air is stale and cold. Nothing seems to move. Silence is not comforting here. Instead of peace, it brings doubt. Rustling from the right has me turning my head, examining the depth of the woods.
Nothing is there but fog and the skeletal finger of the trees reaching out for me.
“Where am I?” I whisper to myself.
Staying in this spot will not get me anywhere, so I walk, putting one foot in front of the other with home as the only destination. I refuse to accept anywhere else. My time with my mates cannot be up. We have only just started. We were making progress. We were happy. Nyx and I were healing old wounds slowly. Rarity is the healing additive, the glue, the stitching that allows Nyx and I to be together. Without her, I know my journey with Nyx would be more difficult.
I miss them more than I ever thought possible. I miss the way I felt Nyx’s jealousy through the bond as I danced with Raiden. I love knowing he cared enough. I miss how Rarity’s eyes took on a red hue as she looked at me as if she wanted to devour me.
I miss her bite. The way she fed. The way she needed me. How will she survive?
My feet stop moving when I wonder if they will die because of the pain of losing me. I start running, pumping my arms and legs. Snarling sounds behind me and I look back, wondering what the hell that could be.
Three massive dogs, each with two heads and red eyes chase me. They are triple my size. Their large paws thrash dirt against the trees as they pound against the dirt. I duck to the right, coming to an open field with a giant building.
Warm breath on the back of my neck has me moving faster.
A huge creature steps out of the building and sees me coming, his wings wider than I’ve ever seen. His face is stitched and his horns swirl above his head. One moment he is standing there, the next he is gone.
Until he grabs me and slings me behind him. He roars so loud, that the trees shake from the long, deep guttural sound. Fear roots itself in my veins.
The large beasts stop, snapping their teeth at the stranger before turning around and vanishing into the forest, no doubt searching for their next meal.
“Th-thank you,” I stutter, trying to catch my breath.
I’m not sure if that is possible.
“Don’t mind them. They are hellhounds. They wouldn’t have touched you. They only wanted to scare you.”
