Elara’s POV
The moment I felt Alric leaving the bathroom, I called out lazily. I couldn’t lift my body, it felt like a log of wood. My head spun, my eyelids felt heavy, and before I knew it, they shut completely.
“Alric…” I whispered, trying to breathe out calmly.
Then suddenly, I felt water fill my nostrils. Struggling to stand, I slipped even further down.
“Alric…” I screamed in my heart as my heartbeat raced wildly. My eyes filled with water, and not even air could crawl out. My instincts were alive, but my body wouldn’t obey.
At that moment, I felt like I was going to die and that’s what it felt like.
Still fighting, swallowing mouthfuls of water, until my nostrils burned and everything inside me shut down. All I saw next was darkness, then fire, then stone… then Mum.
