They couldn’t be here with me.
They were dead. I went to their funerals.
Was I dead too?
Was that what this place was?
“You’re not dead, Sunny,” the red-haired woman smiled, reaching out her hand for me to take. Accepting it, she helped me to my feet as she said, “But if you don’t wake up soon, you will be.”
“I don’t understand. I’m awake now. How are you here, Kitty?” I asked, then looked at the other. “Mia?”
Mia shook her dark hair and sighed. “You’re not awake Sunny. You are in a coma. You were in a car accident.”
Shaking my head, I took a step back. “That’s impossible.”
“I told you she wouldn’t believe us,” Mia sighed.
Kitty smiled. “Give her a minute, Mia. Sunny’s a smart girl. She will figure it out.”
“She doesn’t have time. She needs to wake up now before it’s too late.”
“Too late for what?” I asked, catching what Mia said.
“To save Solomon,”
Shaking my head, I muttered. “What do you mean, save Solomon? What happened to him?”
“We will get to that in a minute. Right now, you need to remember the accident, Sunny. Tell us the last thing you remember?” Kitty asked.
“Nothing. I remember leaving for school. I took Soleil to the kids’ room where Daphne and Julie were and told them I’d be back in a few hours. I got in my car. The next thing I know, I woke up here.”
“She’s still blocking everything, Kitty,” Mia groaned, annoyed as she looked towards the shadows that were creeping closer.
“Blocking what? What happened?!” I shouted, getting angry.
“Sunny, listen to me,” Kitty carefully said, reaching for my hands. “My brother is about to make a grave mistake. We need you to wake up and stop him before he causes a chain of events that will destroy the club. After everything the Golden Skulls have been through, they won’t survive this. You need to remember.”
“I don’t understand,” I cried, confused. “You say I was in an accident? That Solomon is in danger, but I don’t understand how. I was sitting in the science lab, working on a project.”
“Yes,” Mia smiled, then asked, “What else?”
Scrunching my brows, I wracked my brain as flashes of that night started coming back to me. The lab room. I was talking with my professor. I needed to make an appointment with my counselor and let her know I was pregnant. “My baby?” I gasped, my hands going to my stomach.
“The baby is fine, Sunny. Think!” Mia growled as the shadows moved closer.
Images filtered fast into my head as that night came roaring back to me.
I was tired. I just wanted to finish this lab project and get home to my family. Solomon was working his shift with the fire department tonight, so he wouldn’t be home until early the next morning. I worried about him when he was out, but Jules assured me she would monitor him. Though Solomon passed all the tests to become a first responder and a paramedic, he still had moments of doubt that he was good enough.
My poor strong Solomon didn’t have the best life. Mistreated and abused horribly, he fought his darkness every day. Being around me and Soleil helped, but when he was without us, that’s when I worried the most. While Solomon was an adult in every sense of the word, his mind was unique. Denied an education and tortured as a child, left its mark on my beautiful man.
Solomon didn’t believe in the gray part of life.
Everything was black or white.
Good or bad.
Right or wrong.
