THESE BROKEN VOWS (Kazbrekker x Fem!reader) [ book version]

CHAPTER 13

Y/M/N - your mum's name.

-✨Y/N P.O.V✨-

Everything hurt. And why was the room moving?

Y/N came awake slowly, her thoughts jumbled.

She remembered the thrust of Oomen's knife, climbing the crates, people shouting as she dangled from the tips of her fingers.

Come on down, Reaper.

But Kaz had returned for her, to rescue his investment.

They must have made it onto the Ferolind.

She tried to roll over, but the pain was too intense, so she settled for
turning her head.

Nina was drowsing on a stool tucked into the corner by the table, Inej's head resting on her lap.

"Nina," Y/N croaked.

Her throat felt like it was coated in wool.

Nina jolted awake. "I'm up!" she blurted, tossing Inej's head onto the floor.

"You're awake." Inej sat up. "Oh, Saints, you're awake!"

And then Nina burst out crying.

Inej tried to sat up and rushed to Y/N's side, grabbing her by the hand.

Y/N tried to raise her head, but couldn't move a muscle.

"No, no," Nina said. "Don't try to move, just rest."

"Are you both okay?"

Nina started to laugh through her tears.

"We're fine. You're the one who
got stabbed."

" I don't know what's wrong with me. It's just so much easier to kill people than take care of them." Inej sniffed.

Y/N blinked, and then they all started laughing.

"Owwww," groaned Y/N. "Don't make me laugh. That feels awful."

Nina winced. "How do you feel?"

"Sore, but not terrible. Thirsty."

Inej offered her a tin cup full of cold water.

"It's fresh. We had rain yesterday."

Y/N sipped carefully, letting Inej hold her head up.

"How long was I out?"

"Three days, almost four. Jesper is driving us all crazy. I don't think
I've seen him sit still for more than two minutes together." Inej stood up
abruptly. "I need to tell Kaz you're awake! We thought-"

"Wait," Y/N said, grabbing for Inej's hand. "Just ... can we not tell him
right away?"

Nina sat back down, her face puzzled.

"Sure, but-"

"Just for tonight." She paused. "Is it night?"
