Chapter 37

Recovery? (Part 9)

– Red –

It is getting harder to ignore. I know that voice but I still can’t place it.

“I’ve missed you Ymnir. It has been so lonely without you.”

“Stay with me.” he pleads, I want to, I want to be with him forever.

– Red –

He leads me outside and we lay down below the open sky. Watching in silence as the galaxy shifts around us.

Eons pass, and stars dies, and still we lay there.

– I miss you Red –

The world shifts, and we are inside once more. I am in his embrace, and I am content.

“Stay with me.” he pleads, and I want to. All I have to say is yes, and I will be with him for an eternity.

– Red –

The world shifts once more and we are downstairs on the bed. Ymnir holds me in his arms.

“Stay with me.” he pleads, and I let him lower me gently down on to the bed. We kiss, and I feel complete. I open my mouth to say I will stay…

– Come back to us Red. Come back to me –

Leyva!

“Stay with me.” Ymnir pleads as I jump up from the bed.

“I wish I could my love.” I replied as I looked in to his face, and his blue eyes started to fade.

“Stay with me.” he pleads as he grabs my arm. I sense more than see the colour returning to me. I feel the pain, the burning sensation of the poison that is coursing through my body.

“Goodbye.” I say, and I leave behind the love of my life. I leave the cabin, tears running down my cheeks. I think to look back one last time, but when I do the cabin is gone.

  1. *loud crying* Comfort anywhere? Poor Shaela! She wouldn’t have been happy in that surreal world and she wouldn’t even have noticed that she wasn’t because of this surrealness. Still, it’s so sad :`(

    1. Yeah, that was a tough chapter to write. Caused so much pain for my baby, but you’re right, she wouldn’t have been happy, not really, it would’ve all been an illusion of happiness.

    1. Thank you! Yeah, the decision to do these scenes in Black & White all came from the idea that when she rejects Ymnir’s offer to stay, her colour would return.

      It was a heart-wrenching chapter to write, but hopefully Shaela can get past this…
