Rescued!

At the moment of possession, I could feel the coldness that was Malafar, reaching into every crevice of my body. 

I gasped.  It was hard to breathe because the cold air hurt my lungs going in. 

I held my breath, not wanting to breathe, but then the desperate need for air resurfaced so I took a jagged painful breath. 

The second breath was a little less painful.  My body was acclimating itself to the chill. 

The cold was not so much a physical cold, it was an alien ghostly cold that vibrated through my spine and seeped through my subconscious mind. 

I now understood why Connor did not want to be awake within his body while Malafar was roaming inside his mind.  It was very similar to a soul bond, with a single exception.
