Chapter 28 Part 1

Emma

There was a throbbing pain in my throat. And a small annoying pain on the base of my neck. It felt like I couldn't breath, if I wanted to try, I couldn't. Even when I was already desperate for air. Both injuries might have been there, but they might not have been. I was dragging in ragged breaths, my throat hoarse.

It was painful enough that my left hand clutched something warm but slightly stiff. It was locked around my hand, or rather, my hand was locked around it. I opened my eyes, fearing that I would see something terrifying above me, the thing that probably ripped my throat out. But there was nothing. Just an endless dark sky with several white dots.

I had trouble exhaling, but somehow I was able to. Then this darkness had reminded me of something. A memory resurfaced and played in my head, if breathing was hard when I had awaken, then it's even harder now.

I blocked out the sky and it was replaced with complete darkness. Instead of the flat rough ground, I was cocooned within a dip, next to someone. I don't know what was happening next but I was anticipating it.

It was pitch black and my breathing was coming out quickly. I was worrying about something. About what he said. But who is he?

I remember being rolled under someone, slowly and hesitantly. Rolled over so that now I was completely underneath him. My breathing hitched.

Then I felt a familiar feeling on my lips, a ghost kiss. I couldn't see who was kissing me, or why. But the feelings I felt then is what I am feeling now. The gentleness of his lips on mine, showing that he's being cautious. His hands were on my back and they stayed there. Then I surprised my own self when I began to kiss whoever it was more roughly. As if my life depended on it. The memory ended and I continued to watch the sky.

Then someone came into view. I don't know who he was but he stared into my eyes. He lifted me into an embrace. I felt heavy and weak. I couldn't even lift my arms up to push him away.

"You'll be back soon." I heard him say and my heart quickened. He doesn't seem like the one from my memory and that scared me. But his voice caused a memory to resurface again. But a different one, one I could see but not remember.

"For our first hunt, we'll go kill some bunnies." He laughed and it was a heart warming laugh.

"But I can't change. I'm fifteen and I can't. Why are you with me?" I asked, sounding sad.

"Because you're awesome. And I don't care if you can change or not. That doesn't really matter to me." He kissed the tip of my nose and I smiled. But I was far smiling now.

The memory ended and I felt lips on my neck. This felt wrong but I couldn't do anything. My throat bothered me a lot that I couldn't concentrate on trying to push this person away. But then a new feeling comes and I feel happy.

The better thing came: I was able to breath. It was like my lungs opened and my strength became more. But it wasn't enough  to keep me awake. I knocked out again but I still held on to someones hand. Then the lips left my neck and I was healing. I think I almost died.

Snarling was happening not far from me and I wanted to see but I couldn't. I couldn't because I was focusing on healing myself properly, focusing on using the healing from the person who mated me.

"Hey, she's waking up." I heard a deep voice say. My head cocked to the side and I managed to open my eyes. I looked through the slits and the first thing to catch my gaze was not the person holding the unconscious boy in his lap or the girl who held his hand. It was the boy himself, his throat torn but looked like it was healing.
