Chapter 37

Paige's P.O.V.

I woke up to a soft thudding rhythm.

It seemed to tremble through me as if the ground was shaking.

I opened my eyes and came face to face with Connor.

I was suddenly aware of the throbbing pain in my side and flinched.

I tried to burry my head in his chest so he wouldn't see me in pain. "Paige. Can you hear me?" Connor's gruff voice sounded next to my ear.

He sounded tired and weary from carrying me.

I nodded slowly. Such a small movement still sent dizziness coursing through me and I thought I was going to black out.

"The blade fragment is gone and I stitched up your wound. It was the best I could do with no ambrosia or nectar, but there's something else you should know." Connor's voice hitched at that last part.

" Just tell me." I croaked against his shirt.

"The blade was poisoned. We... We have to get back to camp before sunrise the day after next or..." Connor trailed off. He didn't have to say what we were both thinking.

"What about the teleports?" I asked.

"They are out. I'm hoping we can find a house or something to recharge them but I don't even know if they run on electricity. I've been walking all day and all I've found is woods for miles. We could be going in deeper and not even know it." Connor sighed.

I could hear the strain in his voice. He had been carrying me all day.

I was light, but imagine a asking non stop all day with a body in your arms.

Impossible.

"Hey." I whispered putting my hand to his cheek.

"It's getting dark. You should rest."

"You don't have much time!" Connor exclaimed. "I will still be here in the morning. Besides. You have been walking all day. We would both end up dead."

Connor gave me a pained expression then lay me down under a tall tree.

He was about to go over to the next tree when I reached out and grabbed his hand, sending another wave of pain through me.

I grimaced and drew in a sharp breath.

"Will you... will you stay with me?" I asked, looking him straight in the eye.

"Of course" he answered as he lay down next to me.
