Elias glanced my way.
“Karen said you can go for walks now, but don’t push yourself and absolutely no magic usage. Your body is still recovering, and we don’t want you fainting again,” Elias stressed; his voice stern and commanding.
Oh right, the fainting problem.
Since waking up three days ago, I’d been experiencing faint spells – the guys over exaggerated the ordeal; I had only fainted twice.
I could be fully invested in a conversation and then black out without a warning.
When I regained consciousness, the guys would inform me that Midnight, my split personality, made an appearance. So far it had occurred twice; thankfully, both times I was sitting down. Now that I was approved to move around, their concern was more evident.
“Yup. No magic casting. Got it,” I acknowledged, pulling the blanket off my feet; I swung my legs out and stood up to stretch.
I wore grey shorts and a crop top, needing to wear something light thanks to the immense summer heat.
I noticed Elias’ eyes glanced at my markings, the multiple swirls and rose blossoms slathered my legs from where my shorts ended to my ankles; the multiple thorn vines wrapped around in a delicate manner.
I felt my heart skip a beat as I felt a wave of guilt hit me; my eyes landed on his chest – the same place where he got hit by the lightning spear. Even though I had spent time with the others since waking up, Elias had been the least.
I wanted it to be less awkward between us, but the sheer fear of him getting hurt again continued to haunt me.
He must have noticed my stare because he walked towards me.
“Mak–“
“Now that I’m off bed rest, I’m going to go out for a walk! Don’t worry I’ll get Marcus to come along!” I reassured them as I headed to the drawer and grabbed a set of clothes, before making my way to the door.
I felt something grasp my hand, stopping me mid stride. I turned to see Elias’ emerald eyes; the green jewels showed me a glimpse of pain.
I felt my heart drop as I contemplated on what to do.
I couldn’t face him...or Eli right now.
I didn’t have the courage or emotional strength to deal with them at this moment.
He must have seen the fear and guilt in my facial expression because he let go, glancing down to the floor.
“Just, be careful,” he whispered.
I turned my eyes to glance at Ryder; who had watched the situation by the side of the bed.
He gave me a weak smile, but urged me to leave with his hand.
He knew I wasn’t ready just yet.
“I will.” I wanted to leave it like that, to turn around and walk away, but my legs wouldn’t budge.
I sighed before leaning forward, pressing a gentle kiss on his smooth lips.
His eyes widened at my actions, but slowly closed as he returned my kiss. I pulled away and gave him a small smile before giving a small wave to them both and heading out the door.
“Mako…”
Rose’s voice was hesitant as I walked into the bathroom, closing it behind me as I pressed my back against the black smooth wood.
I swallowed the lump in my throat as I tried to take deep breathes.
I can’t Rose...not yet.
