Chapter 78

• Wren's POV
• My consciousness trickled in slow, hazy waves. Bit by bit my senses awakened until I became dimly aware of the dull ache spreading through my body. It hurt so much to even twitch a finger so I stayed still. I laid there, wondering every minute, if this was how I was going to die.
• Time blurred and soon the pain dulled enough for me to move. With a quiet groan leaving my lips, I slowly pushed myself into a more comfortable sitting position, my body trembling with the effort.
