A gentle voice reached her ears. She felt cool fingertips on her clammy forehead.
"Hey, can you hear me? Are you okay?"
Sylrie recognised the voice at once.
"Leif," she murmured. "Leif...I cant...it won't...the cuts...it hurts," she whimpered.
"I know, I know," reassured her. "I'll fix it. Just hold on."
Strangely, for the second time, Sylrie felt her pain drain right out of her body, leaving her numb. She peered up at him, suddenly understanding.
"You're Mysteria," she breathed.
His eyes were full of sorrow as he looked down at her.
"Yes," he said. He lowered his voice to a whisper. "And I'm sorry about this."
He lifted her into his arms. Sylrie screamed in pain, the cuts on her back sending excruciating pain shooting through her body. Her mind slipped into unconsciousness as Leif carried her away from the building.
Sorry guys, super short chapter I know but i'm kinda at school so I have to keep it short and sweet. Hope you're enjoying it so far!
