"Stasis?" I ask, confused. "Like in a coma? Hiding in some kind of hidden closet somewhere?"
"No," Dominic says, his voice low."Not exactly."
"What are we waiting for? Let's go get her! Skylar must be out of his mind right now!"
"It is not that simple, Kate." Dominic reaches out, touching my hand. "Once a Seraph is in stasis they have to come out of it on their own."
"Okay, so, we help her wake up."
"You are not understanding me." Dominic shakes his head. "Coming out of stasis is an individual situation. It could take days," he clears his throat, "or more likely, weeks, months, sometimes years."
"What?" I blurt out, glancing frantically back and forth between the two of them. "She could stay this way for years?"
I stare at Dominic, stunned, bewildered yet relieved Rachel is still with us. Or is she, really? My mind begins to race, contemplating on how we got here and what we should do next. I have no idea, but I do know I need to see her.
"Where is she?" I whisper.
