Sabin returns with a large canteen. He dumps out the water and holds the canteen up. “This is all we have.”
Galina frowns. “It won’t get us much, but it’s still better than nothing.”
Galina goes back to removing scales and Sabin moves toward Christov’s head. He pulls out a dagger and I brace myself as he slashesChristov’s neck open and starts collecting the blood. Sure enough, within seconds everything fades to black.
I’m not surprised when I finally get pushed out of the imprint. Christov hadn’t been dead before Sabin slashed his throat. Not all the way, at least. I was only kicked out the moment he died.
When I come back to reality, I vomit like I’ve never vomited before. I didn’t have a lot of food in my system because I was too worried about Oliver to really eat, but my body expels every molecule it can and then some. I’m not even sure if it’s the backlash from the imprint this time, or if it’s more that I’m just disturbed by what I saw. Probably a bit of both.
Once I’m done throwing up, Nick helps me to my feet. “You okay, partner?”
I start to nod, but then I swoon and end up in Nick’s arms. That was one of the longest, most intense visions I’ve ever had. Apparently my body is mad at me for it. “I don’t feel so good,” I admit just as the world around me fades to black.
