I had to get back to my man. I tried fighting through the darkness, trying to open my eyes but they felt so heavy.
Maybe I can try heal again.
I concentrated on healing myself, it took so much of me to heal my heart, mending slowly, taking chunks of my energy only to heal a small part of me.
Once my heart was halfway healed, I focused my energy on the big wound in my stomach but trying to seal it closed was seemingly impossible. I used up most of my energy to heal the little part of my heart, I didn’t have much left to heal my stomach wound.
I tried again to open my eyes, pushing through invisible barriers that wanted to keep my eyes closed. Using sheer will, using the need to save my love from losing himself as the power to open my eyes.
Seconds passed then minutes and after forever, my eyes opened. Xander had his forehead resting on mine, feeling tears fall on my face.
We were on a soft surface. My back felt mushy.
“Xander?” I said in a whisper. X froze before looking at me in disbelief.
“Sabrina?” He said and I nod at him.
“I could never leave you my love..” I say and he kisses me gently before pulling me in for a hug. I hiss in pain.
I had hardly healed my heart and my stomach wound was still there. Xander pulled away from me to inspect my body.
“You’re not healed?” He asked.
“I don’t know why but I can’t seem to heal these wounds. I feel like a human.” I say and X chuckles.
“You could never be a simple human baby.” He says to me. His eyes were completely red from crying.
I place my free hand on his cheek,
“I’ll always come back to you. I will always be by your side, you got that?” I say to him and he nods.
“Then don’t scare me like that again. Sabrina, I’m a man but I’m not afraid to tell you how I feel. You’re my entire world and there’s not a day I want to spend life’s pleasures or even displeasure without you. I could feel myself dying when I thought you were dead. Sabrina, there was no saving me. I kept thinking of Adrastos because I had to stay strong for him but you are my life, I couldn’t think of a life without you. I’ll say it again, don’t scare me like that again.” Xander said before my mother walked in.
She stops in her tracks when our eyes meet. A smile forms on her lips,
“Hunter! Anthony!” She calls out and within seconds, the two men are standing in front of me. Their eyes looking red.
They had been crying.
Crying for me.
Xander pulled me closer to him and I closed my eyes to relish the feeling I thought I had lost.
Xander, we almost lost each other.
