The sun was slanting through the narrow gap at the top of this
make-shift den, casting a ray through the darkness and onto the
dirt wall. It wasn’t a cave, closer to a sinkhole, but it was good enough for
now. It was also all she had.
When Sal opened her eyes, she could see perfectly. The mass under her
head breathed slowly, proving it was a man and he was still asleep, but the
rhythm of his heart didn’t match hers. It was a little disconcerting, although
she’d get used to it. She had to. The scent of him made that clear.
He smelled like her. So did the man across the washed-out hole that
wasn’t quite big enough to count as a cave. It would end up one eventually
when the rains started again. One day. Right now, it was simply the first
safe place she’d found, and one she desperately needed. Too much had
happened too fast. Her mind had been nearly ripped apart and then forced
back together by Blaec. Her body had died – actually died – only to be
repaired by Blaz.
And her soul?
Well, that was still wounded, but she wouldn’t dwell on what she’d lost.
She’d torn her cessivi from her own mind. It had been the only way,
although it still hurt. Not a physical kind of pain, but that quiet ache of
loneliness. Jase, Zep, Kolt, and even Razor – she’d actually believed they’d
always be with her, and now they weren’t. All she had were these two, her
friends turned mates out of necessity. The question was how long they’d
last.
Slowly, Sal sat up, easing herself away from Tyr so he wouldn’t wake.
He and Blaz had not only survived the battle that had killed her, but they’d
stayed up all night sneaking through the Terran camp to find her, then they’d
spent the morning healing her and burning off her maast. A few hours of
sleep certainly couldn’t be enough.
But Blaz wasn’t sleeping. His dark, human eyes were locked on her.
“Sal?” he asked.
Use your mind, she thought to him. Tyr needs all the sleep he can get.
He nodded. Ok, but how are you doing?
I’m fine, she promised.
Again, he nodded. This time it was to show he’d heard. I’m not sure I
did it good enough. The healing, I mean.
I’m alive, she reminded him. That means you did it good enough.
No, Sal… he tried but ended with a sigh. That lance pierced your body.
You had a hole through your belly. And not a little one! Sal, I did everything
I could, but it doesn’t feel right. I know that sometimes even iliri healing –
or whatever you call this gift you gave me – leaves scars.
