Chapter 582
Gyles
I can hear him.
I can feel him. There is this ache inside me because I feel his need for me. I know that he is slowly suffering, having to deal with this. I know that Blue is beating himself up for this and I hate that this happened.
I see him go into her room and somehow as he is communicating with his wolf, I hear it all. I don’t know why; I don’t know how but I listen closely. It feels like trespassing but somehow, I have access to his thoughts and his emotions and I don’t even want to leave this beautiful space. I don’t want to leave because I don’t know when next I will have the opportunity.
I didn’t even know that he held so many emotions for his mother. He always acted like he didn’t care, like he didn’t feel anything towards her but right now, I can see the truth. I see the truth and I wish I could hold him; I wish I could take all his pain away.
My story has always seemed pitiful but at least even with all the things that happened to me, I had people that took me, took care of me, and genuinely cared for me. I never knew pain because I was shielded from it and by the time everything came crashing down, I was far gone but Blue on the other hand has never felt the loved that you are supposed to get from the people that matter.
His mother has always been there, close to him but she never gave him what he needed and now he is at a place where it is life or death.
He is at a place where he is going to have to end her life and even though he has been acting like is something that he is ready to do, his heart is breaking from just the thought.
I don’t want him to feel this way but it is also something that he is going to need to feel it all. He is going to feel like the world is crashing down on him and he is going to feel beaten down and broken but he is going to get past it, he is going to move on from it.
He is going to be okay.
“What is he doing now?’’ I ask Eleanor even though I know that she might not know.
I can feel the aura of the environment change. We are in this book. Almost feels like a prison to me but to them, it is a solace. Something that is helping them from being perished. Their story is different from mine. They had to come into the book to find a way to be free.
I had to come into the book because it was the only option I had. It was the only thing I could do asides from dying.
“He is trying to find a way to get you out of the book,’’ she explains to me even though I am present in everything that is happening. I can see him, I can hear him, I can feel him. I don’t need to be outside the book to know how he is feeling right now.
There is a dark aura looming over our heads in the book. From his request, everything dims. I don’t know if it is a good idea for him to be asking the book for everything. He is a warlock; this should be up in his alley. For once, I wish Blue actually took his training seriously. I wish he knew all the things that could save us at this moment.
A bright light flashes suddenly and I watch it as it rushes out of the transparent wall and into the real world. Blue is looking at me, inside the book, the desperation evident in his eyes. I see him, see the light. I watch him as he follows the light to the right shelf. I watch him as he walks over to the shelf and picks something up.
He turns around, walking back towards me, his steps shaky. I can hear his ragged breaths as he makes his way towards me. I can see his face; his lashes are wet from the tears that he is crying. I see that he is holding something in his hand. It is a small bottle, there are similar bottles like that in this place. Similar bottles but I am sure that they all have different purposes.
He reads the instructions on the bottle and I watch him as he quickly gulps down the contents of the potion.
In a split second, I feel something that feels like an earthquake and there is another bright flash. When I open my eyes, I see him, inside the book with me. Standing just above where I am seated.
There is a smile on his face, one that feels too victorious.
He is so happy but I am wondering why he is in here. He was supposed to take me out of the book.
“What just happened?’’ I ask him and he looks at me, suddenly as he grabs my hands and pulls me up. his hands feel very warm. A much-needed contact.
“Come on, before this wears out,’’ he tells me hurriedly. His voice soothes me completely and I feel a pure bliss from just hearing him.
I get up. We are walking back to the door that leads out. It all looks so different from how it was just a couple of seconds ago. it finally looks like a way out.
“I will see you outside,’’ I tell Eleanor, Blue isn’t even focused on the people in here. His eyes seem to be fixed on me. I know he just wants to get me out of here and I want the same thing.
“Yes, I will come out later.” she smiles just as Blue nudges me out of the doorway. I feel a cold chill pass through my body as we pass through the door. I feel the excitement and rush as he holds me tighter. He might have used the book to find the solution but he did it. Blue will always be my knight in shining armor.
He will always be my hero.
