Darkened Angel- Chapter 30

Chapter Thirty

Patience

    My body lifted up from the ground by someone who smells like the forest. Clean dirt and bark. I whimpered in their hold as tears fell from my eyes. “Shh sister. You’re home and need not be sad.” I felt him set me down on the bed and I rolled away from him. “Why is she sad?”

    “Father says they might have brainwashed her into thinking she belonged there.” A hand touched my shoulder and I jerked away in response. “Come on Barr. We’ll leave her dinner for her and give her some time to adjust.”

    “Just let me go.” I breathed as I sobbed.

    “What if Father was wrong?” The one called Barr asked unsure about anything right now. “Maybe you should see how she is feeling. See if its true or not.”

    “Father told me not to which is confusing in and of itself.” There was a pause as I heard the one farther away set a tray down and then go to the door. “But what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him.” Barr moved away and then there was a hand on my head. Darius. I thought his name to try and see him in my mind.

    “Han?” Barr asked in a urgent whisper. “Han?!” He sounded panicked.

    “Can’t move.” Han’s voice shook and cracked with emotion. I heard Barr move and felt his fingers wrap around Han’s wrist. Barr pulled Han’s hand off my head. Han let out a shaky breathe. “God... Her heart is shattered and that is not fake. We shattered her heart.” He was panting and in disbelief. “Barr, what have we done?”

    “Come on. We can’t stay any longer or Father will become suspicious. We will find out how to help her and why she feels that way.” Barr pulled Han out of my room and I just laid staring at the wall.

    Han felt my pain and it paralyzed him. Maybe he will realize that their Father made a mistake in taking me away. Maybe they will realize that was the reason Targ left. To try and prevent them from taking me away forcefully.

    I rolled over and just stared at the food. I had no appetite to even think of going over there and eat anything. Darius. He was all I could think about right now. He was all I wanted back. I wanted to hold him and have him hold me. I needed him more than food or air.

    Patience. I heard Darius’ voice and it soothed me a bit. Was he thinking about me right now as I was thinking about him. I feel lost without him near me. I feel sick with loss. My stomach twisted with how sick I felt.

    Hours passed and no one entered my room. Though I could hear several stop in front of my door, none came in. I just stayed looking at the tray of food cursing it and wishing it was gone.

    The door to my room opened and a woman who looked to be a snow leopard walked in. She had another tray of food. She sighed and looked sadden toward me when she saw I hadn’t eaten anything. She walked over to me with the new tray and set it down on the floor and she sat beside me.

    “Please sister. You need to eat.” She brush my hair with her hand. I turned into the pillow away from her. “Han and Bar were right.” She whispered under her breathe. “Please eat.” I shook my head and heard her sigh.

    She rose and grabbed the old tray before she left. I heard the door close and couldn’t care right now. I was picturing Darius in my mind and wishing that none of this happened. Wished I was still with him right now. Wrapped in his arms and being loved by him. I closed my eyes and imagined myself with Darius without a care in the world. Just the two of us. I fell asleep thinking of that.
