InFAMOUS Second Son - Your Snowflake

Chapter 21

Delsin's P.O.V.

As I closed the door behind me I instantly took notice in the change of temperature. Unlike outside in the living room, Isabella's bedroom held no signs of warmth. The entire room felt like I had walked into a freezer, sending chills down my spine as I made my way towards the occupied bed.

Looking down at Bella I couldn't help but smile. She looked so peaceful and if I didn't know any better, I would have thought that she was resting in a peaceful sleep. Reaching out a hand, I carefully brushed a long white strand away from the still figure. Instantly my smile disappeared and was replaced with a worried frown. Her skin was unbelievably cold and the fact that her body hadn't showed any reaction to my touch only worsened my concern.

'Shit.' I thought. 'She's getting worse.'

Without a moment's hesitation, I quickly stripped myself of my vest, coat, and shoes, just like I had done only a few nights before. Placing my clothes off to the side, I turned to climb into the bed before stopping.

'Bella, please don't kill me for this.' Taking a deep breath I carefully got under the covers and laid myself down next to Isabella's unconscious form. Wrapping my arms around her, I gently pulled her closer to me before resting my chin on the top of her head.

For a few minutes I stayed in this position, mentally praying to myself as Isabella remained unmoving. Finally, after what felt like forever, my eyes became heavy with sleep. At first I tried to fight back my drowsiness but not having slept for days had weakened my resistance greatly and eventually I gave in. The last thing I remember doing before falling asleep was placing a gentle kiss on Bella's forehead and whispering for her to wake up soon. As soon as my head returned to its previous position I immediately went out like a light.
