“Whoa!” he said.
He raised both his hands in surrender.
“Don’t come near me!” I said, swiping at the empty air. “I’ll cut you! I will!”
“Take it easy!” Chax said.
“Let me out of here!” I said. “Let me go right now!”
I stamped my foot for emphasis. God help the man—or Titan or whatever he was—if he ignored a woman who stamped her foot.
“Put the knife down,” he said. “You don’t want to hurt yourself.”
I swiped at the air, a warning as he drew closer.
“I’m not going to hurt myself!” I said. “I’m going to hurt you!”
“You can’t hurt me,” he said.
“You wanna bet? Just open the door or however you got in here and let me go!”
“I told you. I don’t know how I ended up here. The same way you don’t. So just hand me the knife and—”
He stepped forward with his huge hulking mass. Too close. I swiped sideways and caught something solid.
Chax hissed through his teeth and pressed one hand over the other. Blood spilled from between his fingers as he rushed to the bathroom.
I immediately dropped the knife.
“Oh my God!” I said. “I’m so sorry! I didn’t mean to hurt you!”
“Waving a knife around tends to have that effect,” he said. “It’s fine.”
“No, it’s not. You’re hurt.”
“No, really,” he said. “It’s fine.”
He turned the tap on and rinsed the blood off his hands.
“Show me,” I said.
I took his hand and peered at it. There was a single notch where the knife had caught him but it was much smaller than I expected. A little blood spurted from it. He rinsed it with more water. When I looked at his hand again, even the notch was gone.
My mouth fell open and I just stared at him.
“But it’s… No… That’s impossible,” I said.
“For a human, maybe,” he said. “Not for a Titan. We heal very fast.”
Okay, consciousness, come up with a reasonable explanation for that one.
I couldn’t think of one. Except…
He really was an alien.
We both really had been abducted.
Nothing else made sense.
