Chapter 54

• "No!" April gasped as she rushed into the murky river and searched blindly for the body of Blake. Was this what Gabrielle had meant when she said she could have him back.
• "Blake! Blake! Blake!" April screamed, crying as she searched blindly, the water tossing her from every corner until she saw him floating, red blood circling his midsection.
• April rushed towards him, wrapped her arms around him, and dragged him ashore, her chest heaving once they were in the safety of the dry land. April let go of him and quickly pressed her finger to his wrist, then his neck to feel for a pulse and she almost cried in relief when she felt it even though it was irregular and faint.
