Chapter 815 Both Of Us Must Be Dead

• “The fighting has started, Blake, we need your powers on the shields–”
• “I’m not leaving her like this. She’ll be fine. I’ll be fine. I just need to–she has to be awake for this–”
• “I’m sorry I couldn’t save you. I promised I would,” I say to Chessie, my eyes blurred with tears. “I’m so sorry. I love you so much–” Pain like I’ve never felt in my life tears me open. Someone’s screaming. I realize as my mind swims with Blake’s power that it’s me. I’m screaming, my voice lifting to the ceiling in shrieks of agony that makes the chandelier rattle. Screaming as his powers dig into my head, and suddenly, I see red. Blood red. Then it fades, and it’s quiet, empty, like I’m floating in a pool on my back against a backdrop of stars, and there’s no one, no sound.
