His head moved back and forth, mouth widening.
“What Noah? Take more, it has to work. You have to heal.”
The sheer panic at the situation before us was overwhelming and if he didn’t start taking this seriously enough to feed what he needed to, he wouldn’t be alive.
“I can’t feed from you,” he said.
I shouted. “Well try again.”
Noah brought a bloodied hand up and pushed me slightly back.
“I can’t feed from you,” he said again.
His nose wrinkled as he said it this time. “Can’t, Cora.”
I wasn’t following what was going on and wondered if getting hit in the head and thrown against a tree made him slightly cuckoo for the moment.
The look on his face was transforming too many different things all at once. The wince from the pain was nothing in comparison to the disgust and horror that flashed in his eyes.
“I physically can’t get what I need from you,” he said. “You’re blank. No energy to pull.”
“I’m broken?” Of course I was. The one thing I needed to be for Noah and I wasn’t even that.
“Probably not,” he said as he leaned back, almost like he was moving away from me. “But you being blank means something worse.”
My brow furrowed together.
“The only blank energy sources to the Unseelie are Seelie.”
I raised my shoulders, “Okay, well I must not be blank then. Maybe you need to try again. Because that’s not true.”
“It is true,” Noah said. “You are blank. Which means you’re not human at all, Coraline.”
I started shaking my head. This couldn’t be. What he was saying couldn’t be the true.
“You’re Seelie. And my sworn enemy.”
