Kait POV

**********

It wasn't even two minutes that I had my eyes open before I must have passed out again. I was traveling toward that tunnel and light again, but no one was shouting at me to turn back.

"Was none of that real?" I whispered.

Then, everything went black. I heard someone climbing down the rocks on the side of the mountain. Someone took my hand, but I couldn't move it. I felt someone gently squeeze my hand, then tears crashing down onto it.

"Cory? Cory are you okay?" someone said in between sobs.

"Cory? My Cory? He's alive?!" I thought.

"I... I'm... I don't know." Someone else said.

"Is... is she?" the first person asked.

"I don't know. She's warm, but he's still very cold." The second person replied.

"Let me try something."

I felt Melanie well up her magic through the bond. That warm, life-filled magic. Then, a hand touched my shoulder and I felt that magic transfer into me and that life-filled warmth flood my body. Seconds after, I felt every ache and pain subside, but I still couldn't move. All I could do was lie there. Occasionally, I'd feel someone hold my hand but I couldn't respond to it. I could have been there for days, I lost all track of time. Suddenly, I felt the control of my muscles return, but I still didn't move.

One time when I felt a hand squeeze mine, I couldn't keep still any longer. I squeezed it back, and opened my eyes.
