"No, no, no!"
Someone's here. I'm supposed to be alone.
"Shit, wake up! Hazel, wake up!"
Who's that?
"What the fuck happened?!"
He's angry. I like his voice.
"Shit, fuck, do you think she turned!? We saw her a couple of hours ago!"
I know that voice.
"We called you right when she ran off! Shit! I didn't think it would happen this fast!"
I know that voice, too.
"She hasn't turned yet! There's still time!"
I'm still me. Yes.
"Her stomach! Press her stomach! She's bleeding everywhere!"
I'm sorry. I had to.
"She's going to die of blood loss unless we do something!"
That voice. I like that voice. It sounds like silver wings, silver butterflies, silver water, silver rivers, silver flowers, silver moons, silver eyes, and silver sighs. Silver. Silver. Silver. The prettiest shade of silver.
"You have to mark her! It'll start the healing process! It could bring her back!"
I can't come back. Don't you see what I'm becoming? They'll kill me.
"Fuck, it wasn't supposed to happen like this!"
He sounds so sad. Please don't be sad. Silver trees, silver leaves, silver roots, silver clouds, silver rays, silver days. So silver.
"KAIROS! DO IT!"
Kairos. The right time.
Two fangs pierce my neck, and searing pain floods my body. My eyes fly wide open as a guttural scream escapes my throat. I can feel it. Everything. The wound in my artery, the bruise on my hip, the shards on my feet. I can even feel the wound starting to stitch up, cell by cell. It closes. I keep screaming.
Everything hurts. It hurts so much. It was supposed to end. I'm not supposed to feel. So why does it hurt again?
"Breathe, Hazel!"
I can't.
"Breathe!"
I can't. I can't! I don't want to.
"Please, baby, breathe!"
I'll try.
Air fills my lungs as my spine bends me into a sitting position. I breathe like I've never breathed before. Like a newborn baby taking her first breaths, new to the world, screaming, crying, and wailing.
There's a hand on my hip. It's large. A man's hand. Another on my thigh. I look up, and I meet a pair of silver eyes. He has the most gorgeous tan skin. It's smooth, almost flawless, with the exception of a tiny scar above his right brow. His chiseled long nose leads to full plump lips and an angular jawline. He's beautiful.
"Hazel?" He says. His voice. It's beautiful, too. The best voice I have ever heard.
I'm in pain, but his touch makes it bearable as I feel my atoms and cells stitch together. Somehow, my skin is expelling the glass shards from my feet as it closes the small punctures. I don't know how it's happening, but it is. And it's because of him.
"Kairos." I breathe out.
Right on time.
My eyes flutter close as everything goes black.
