Chapter 594
Gyles.
I open my eyes and the sounds of birds chirping are all I can hear. Suddenly, we are no longer inside the potion room but the bright light from the sun hits me instantly. Blue’s eyes are closed. I don’t know if he is sleeping or if he has passed out.
The pain we have been feeling all night is still there but suddenly, it is not as strong as it was. My legs and hands are numb. I have been practically standing on my feet all night. Somehow, it seems like there was an invisible rope tying us to our feet. I don’t even know how to explain it.
“Blue,’’ I call his name.
I don’t even know where we are but we are outside. I think that is a good thing. Darrien and Rex can find us easily.
“Blue, wake up,” I call his name louder.
Unlike last night, we are tied to something that looks like poles. She isn’t using magic to bind us now. That is a good thing.
I take a deep breath because Blue is not even responding. What the fuck is wrong with him. “Baby, answer me,’’ I call him again. I am desperate for him to wake up because I don’t want to do this alone. I don’t want to be alone in this.
You have no choice.
You have to get out of your funk and do this. Find a way to break free. You are strong, you have me.
My wolf is awake and ready for this fight. I can feel the anger boiling inside me. Wolves do not like being imprisoned. I have been kept away all my life. I didn’t have a life for a long time and for the first time since my wolf became free. I am in this mess. I know that he is angry. Hell I am angry too.
I don’t know why this is happening but at the end of everything. I am the one that brought all this on myself. I just wanted to help. I wanted to be good. Eleanor and the rest of the people in that book needed help and I wanted to do that for them.
Is that such a bad thing?
There is no time to dwell on what has already happened. I need you to give me full control of your body. I need you to let me out NOW.
My wolf wants an escape. I don’t think that is the best thing right now.
Rex.
I send Rex a mind link. My heart races as I wait for his response. Blue said Rex and Darrien have a plan. If I let my wolf act irrationally, then I might mess up that plan.
I have been trying to reach you guys. Are you okay?
He responds immediately.
My heart calms down as I hear his voice in my head. That relaxing feeling takes over. He might now be here with me but he is here and that is all that matters.
I am okay. Blue is not waking up. I don’t know what is wrong with him.
Where are you? What is happening?
I look around the field.
We are outside.
Give me something. Where outside?
His question is demanding and I understand that we don’t have time to waste. We are tied to poles in a field on what looks like a stage. There are chairs everywhere. This just makes me think that this is all a game to Analise. She is giving everyone a show to watch.
There is nothing here. It doesn’t seem like we are at the house anymore. She took us to an open field. There is a stage and chairs.
I can’t tell what time it is but the sun is blaring and the heat seems to be burning my skin. I take steady breaths in an attempt to control my breathing. Blue is still unconscious, he is not even moving. Last night, he seemed to be the one that had his shit together and now he isn’t even waking up. It makes me think that she did something to him.
I can’t even put it past her.
Okay, I will find you. We are coming, don’t worry about anything.
His words are assuring. We have completely put all our faith in Rex and I don’t have any doubt in my mind that he is actually going to get us out of this mess.
“Gyles,’’ I open my eyes to Eleanor in front of me. “I can get you out of this,’’ she manages slowly.
I don’t know where she has even all this while but I don’t have any faith in her helping me. Up until now, I still haven’t figured out how I am going to even help her. I am sure that once Analise dies, all the people she has hurt will finally be free.
“Can you wake him up?’’ I gesture with my face towards Blue. Her eyes shift to him and she walks over to the side of the stage where he is tied up. He is not far from me but I also can’t reach him if I wanted to.
I watch her as she raises her hand up to his face, slowly, she passes through him and then she does this for the rest of his body. In less than a minute, I watch him as he jolts up full of shock in his eyes. His eyes are wide, red and blotchy, just like the rest of his body.
Eleanor comes out of his body but all my focus remains on Blue as he looks around, squinting his eyes from the sun.
“Blue,’’ I call his name to wipe the confusion from his expression.
He focuses on me. I watch the rise and fall of his chest. “Get me out of this bind,’’ I tell Eleanor, unsure of how she is even going to do this. I want this to play out the way Rex has planned. He and Darrien have something up their sleeves and I don’t want to ruin it by escaping but I also want to be able to fight when the time comes.
This is war.
