Chapter 167: Lost

The pain becomes too much for me.

My body is unable to take it anymore and I don't fight…I stop holding myself together and…I fall.

Before I'm allowed to descend…Darius…catches me.

And for once…I wish he didn't.

The darkness takes me, and I sink into its embrace.

"When will she wake up?" A muffled voice that can't hide no matter how disoriented it is bellows faintly in the distance.

But then it disappears.

I try to form thoughts, I try to make myself whole, but I find my being resistant to my command and I find said being is dispersed within this darkness.

No matter how hard I try, my mind refuses to listen, so I continue to drift in the darkness.

"What is wrong with her?" His voice returns after what felt like an eternity drifting in this pool of darkness.

And…again, I wish I wouldn't hear his voice.
