Scorned
“There was so much pain in my ribs and a pressure on my lungs and I could hardly breathe. I came awake with a vengeance, trying to fight off an unseen enemy before I realized how much it hurt to move and that there was no one on top of me. But it was too late. Something in my chest broke and I screamed.
“LeKrista!” Roman shouted. “LeKrista I can try to heal you, but I’m afraid after what happened the last time...”
“Do it!” I screamed and coughed, twisting on my side to catch my breath. Dark splo...tches landed on the sheets and I tasted that now familiar metallic taste of blood on my tongue.
“Oh, god,” I gasped. “Roman!” He was there in an instant and his alarm matched my own.
“Calliope, there’s internal bleeding. I’m going to have to do something. If it goes wrong-”
“Wrong?” she asked, not understanding.
Roman nodded, but didn’t take time to explain. “If it goes wrong, we may need to start her heart.”
Calliope nodded and disappeared.
