Rain And Blood

Ren woke up to the soft glow of the lantern flickering against the wooden walls of his room in the Underwood manor. It was night.

He could feel other people in the room, and he could feel the dull ache in his limbs as he stirred. His head was heavy, but his mind was clear.

The moment he shifted, he was immediately smothered in warmth as Lilith wrapped her arms around him.

"You're awake." She breathed, squeezing him tightly.

Ren coughed, as he tried to draw breath. He was saved by Elias putting a hand on Lilith's shoulder. "Easy, Lilith. You'll kill him at this rate."

Lilith pulled back, inspecting him with misty eyes. "I almost died myself when you fainted. I've never felt more relief from hearing that someone fainted from blood loss. Do you have any idea how terrifying that was to watch?"

Thorn chuckled from where he leaned against the wall. "She's been pacing since we got back. You'd think you died."
