Peter's POV
"Ariadne," I tried to call, but my throat was coarse and dry.
If only Estevan hadn't taken my sight, I didn't know if I could stand never seeing Ariadne's smile or the teasing look in her eye again. If Estevan survives this then he will pay. I thought bitterly.
But the worst torture had been seeing him kiss Ariadne. And not only kiss her but literally drain her. My fists clenched as I recalled it.
"Do you see her?" I asked the flying horse thing, I wasn't sure without being able to see it, but that's what it felt like. Gee this day had only gotten weirder, now I was talked to a flying horse.
"Peter," she sighed. That doesn't sound good.
"She made me leave without her. She's still back there," her high voice replied in more of a whinny. Then I felt her wings beat faster.
"What's happening?" I asked, wishing my vision would clear, but knowing it wouldn't. Estevan had made sure of that. "We have to go back for her!"
"The explosion," she cried. "I don't think I can outfly it!"
I tightened my grip around her small neck. "We have to go get her."
"You'll be no use to her if you're burned and blind."
I grunted furiously, but I knew she was right.
"We're over the explosion now, I'll look for her."
Please let her be okay. Please let-
"I see her!" the horse neighed, but it turned to a scream as I felt a flaming wave envelop us, sending her crashing to the ground and me flying off her back.
I rolled around, ignoring the pain it caused, and waited for the heat to cool down. I didn't think I had any major burns, but it was hard to tell without being able to look at them.
"Amity! Are you okay?"
"I'm alright, go find Ariadne," she called behind me.
I didn't really know how I would find her, but I had to try.
"Ariadne!" I cried, wishing that now more than ever I could see.
"Peter?" I heard her call somewhere to my left. Her voice sounded worse than mine did.
"Where are you?" I cried, crawling towards the sound of her voice.
"I'm over here," she answered in a raspy voice.
Then my hand hit something, and I reached out to touch it, realizing it was her shoulder. She was laying down on her stomach. Did that mean she was hurt?
"Are you alright?" I asked, finding her face with both of my hands.
She wrapped her hands around mine, but they felt blistered and really hot. "I think so, but I can't move."
I scrunched my eyebrows.
"Peter?" Ariadne said slowly, and I felt her hand touch my eyelids that I kept shut. I didn't want her to see the horrific state my eyes were in.
"Peter," her voice broke. "I'm so sorry, I've ruined everything."
"No." I pulled her to me. "I'm here, and you're here. That's all that matters. Estevan was just jealous of how perfect I was and tried to ruin it, but it will take more than my eyes to ruin these devilishly good looks."
I heard her laugh, but it turned into a sob.
"It's okay," I said pulling her tight, not believing that we both made it. We were okay.
