Chapter 165

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

I awoke with a gasp. The remnants of what was my dream swirled around my head ready to be taken away with the morning wind. I reached blindly for the dresser until I found my journal and ink and I started writing. I wrote down everything I could remember in a hurry. The sun was standing in the middle of the sky but I might as well have still been in the dark with how disoriented I was. I furiously scribbled until the blank pages were filled with words, half of which didn’t make a lot of sense to me.

“Baby,” I looked up to see Ryker staring down at me with concern in his eyes. I I

wasn’t sure how long he had been standing there, all I knew was that there was worry in his features.

He looked like he wasn’t sure whether he wanted to pull me away or come to me. I slowly set down my pen and gave him the most easy going smile I could muster but that did little to ease his worry. He moved slowly, as if he were scared of spo oking me. I tracked every movement with my eyes until he was standing directly in front of me. He stretched out his hand to me and I took it. it wasn’t until our skin connected that I realized just how cold I was.

“F uck,” he cursed as he pulled the nearby blanket and draped it over my shoulders. “Are you alright? You are ice cold. Do you want me to run you a hot bath?”

“No,” I said too quickly and his brows furrowed. He was clearly taken aback because that wasn’t the response he was expecting from me. “Can you just sit here with me?”

I could still feel the coldness of her presence and the echo of her voice in the stillness around me. It was cold and eerie, like death itself and I recognized her presence, it was the same I felt in the withered crops and in the first sick man.

Ryker didn’t know what to do with me, I could feel his confusion and concern as he sat by me. He wrapped his arms around me and all I could do was ease into him. He whispered soft words into my ears and although I couldn’t make out most of them, his presence was more than enough for me. I wasn’t sure how long we stood there, it felt like hours but in reality, I knew it wouldn’t have been more than a few minutes of us just intertwined with each other.

“Are you going to tell me what this is about?” he asked and I shrugged. “I haven’t seen you like this in a very long time, Camilla, please don’t make me push for an answer,”

I exhaled deeply and told him everything. it sounded absurd coming from my lips and if it were a different person, I would have found it incredibly hard to believe. Words couldn’t properly capture everything I had experienced but I tried my best. As I spoke, I couldn’t help but wonder if this was how Audrey felt after her visions. If it were, then I was glad that we locked her powers. No one deserved to go. through this, it was a nightmare.

By the time I was done speaking, Ryker was quiet and contemplating. I risked a glance at him wondering if he thought I was crazy but there was not a single ounce of judgment on her face as he took me in. After a moment of silence, he leaned down and placed a kiss in the center of my head.copy right hot novel pub
