Thane Screaming I fell to the side. Leaving Aspen on her back on the stone. She was my food, my salvation. The only way I could heal and I couldn't do it. The agony of moving was too much. The feeling of her body against mine. Something that I used to love caused nothing but pain. Indeed to feed but i couldn't touch. “Its ok.” Emery was there, swimming into view through the tears that filled my eyes. “It's ok Thane. Aspen is here to help you.” Somewhere to the side I heard her get to her feet with a groan. “Am i? I thought I was here to-” she said tartly. Emrys hissed at her to be silent. “Thane?” her voice was closer now. Fighting against the wave of pain I rolled my eyes towards her. The feelings that flooded me were confused. On one hand she looked so good. And not just good
