SOUL INFRACTION
ISOBEL DRIFTED IN AND OUT OF CONSCIOUSNESS FOR WHAT SEEMED
like an eternity, bobbing up and down like a rag doll tossed into a stream
and pulled along with the current. Sometimes she was in free fall, tumbling
down a waterfall with no end in sight. She thought she screamed when that
happened, but it never amounted to anything. No impact when she landed.
No sudden submersion. One minute she was falling, and the next, she was
asleep again.
Sometimes she passed through warmer currents where she drifted closer
to the surface, sunlight striving to stroke her cheeks. That was when she
knew she was herself, and someone was holding her. She was cocooned in a
warm, resinous scent. Sweet, like a drop of honey on the tip of her tongue,
but deep, earthy and woody. Amber. It sank into her nose and mouth, filling
her up until there was no room for the water she drifted through to spill into
her lungs and drown her. After some time, the stream turned into a cloud
and she was no longer bobbing, but floating.
She tried to edge away from the heat when it grew too much, but
burning hands always dragged her back, tucking her against muscles that
seemed tight and stiff with tension. His voice was the first tangible thing
she registered after days of floating. It was as tight and tense as his body,
biting out a harsh word to someone else. An unfamiliar voice answered,
sounding calm and measured, their tone resonant. It was clearer than the
rasped rebuttal from the warm body wrapped behind her.
“You cannot lie to me,” the calm stranger stated. It was impossible to
tell their gender.
Isobel flinched at the change in the amber scent wrapped around her,
that drop of honey against her tongue souring into something acidic that
burned her taste buds.
“And you still haven’t told me how you manage to get in here every
damn day.” The words were growled out of the warm body behind her.
“We walk from the chapel to the hospital,” a third voice supplied. It was
droll. Young and feminine with a sharp, sardonic undertone. Another
stranger.
Isobel peeled her eyes open, the movement taking far more effort than it
should have.
“She’s awake,” the androgynous voice stated. “You’re overheating her,
by the way.”
“Fuck off.” It was Theodore holding her, his gravelled tone ripping
through her body. She was curled in his lap in a hospital bed, the back of
the bed raised to allow him to sit up while he cradled her.
He was also very warm.
“Illy?” His voice softened instantly, his hand supporting her head as she
tried to lift it up. His thumb brushed across her cheek. “Welcome back.” His
eyes narrowed on hers like he had more to say, but he only sucked in a
breath, his pupils dilating as they flicked over her features before he turned
back to the other voices. “Now isn’t a good time.”
“Now is the perfect time,” the younger voice replied. “That’s why we
came now.”
