Chapter 51 The Chant

• Leora
• It was as if the world fell away as everything around me became a blur. I wasn't sure how much time had passed, but another wave of pain came. This time, it was longer, and I screamed as I tried to breathe through my nose. No one told me it would be like this. Was I bleeding, and was that what I felt on my leg?
• Bergamot filled my nose as I felt the warmth of arms under my legs and back. Soon enough, I was pressed against Nathaniel's chest, and a burst of wind rushed over my skin. It was icy, but it felt amazing against the heat burning through me from the inside out. I couldn't tell where we were or if I was even awake as my head rolled back. The blue sky appeared to be moving in a circular motion as I stared upward. Another wave of pain rolled through me, and I couldn't hold back the scream as every muscle in my body tightened.
