Chapter 55

Cassian's Pov

The first thing I saw when I opened my eyes was the familiar white ceiling of the hospital. Slowly, I sat up due to the pain I always felt in my chest, but my hands moved with force. I expected the pain to shoot through my body, but it didn't, it felt like the pain in my chest was gone.

    Chapter 89Elara's PovI didn't sleep that night.How could I? The children were out there. The door was open. The twins were in danger. And I was trapped in a cabin with no way out.Rowan was asleep. He had finally closed his eyes. I didn't wake him. He needed the rest.I sat by the window. I watched the woods. I waited.The children didn't come back.But I knew they would.---Dawn came slowly.The sun rose. The light crept through the trees. The birds started singing. The world went on like nothing had happened.But everything had happened.I looked at the twins. They were still asleep. My daughter's tiny hand was curled around my finger. My son's chest rose and fell with each breath.They were so small. So fragile. So innocent.I didn't know how to protect them. I didn't know if I could."Elara." Rowan's voice was soft. He was awake. His eyes were red."Good morning.""Is it?""I don't know."He sat up. He looked at the twins. He looked at me."Did you sleep?""No.""You need to r

    Chapter 88Elara's PovI woke to the sound of crying.For a moment, I forgot where I was. I forgot everything. I just heard the crying and reached for the crib.But there was no crib.There was just a cabin. A cold cabin. A small cabin. And two babies who needed me.I sat up. My body screamed. Every muscle ached. Every bone hurt. I had been running. I had been fighting. I had been holding on for so long.But I was still here. I was still alive.I picked up my daughter. She was hungry. Her tiny face was red. Her tiny fists were flailing."Shh. Shh. It's okay. Mama's here."I fed her. She calmed down. She fell asleep against my chest.My son was awake. Watching me. His blue eyes were fixed on my face. He never cried. He never fussed. He just watched.It still scared me."Elara." Rowan's voice was soft. He was standing by the fire. He had managed to get it going again. The flames were small, but they were warm."You should sleep," I said."I'm not tired.""Rowan, you haven't slept in day

    Chapter 87Elara's PovThe cabin was small.One room. A fireplace. A bed. A table. Two chairs. That was it.It was cold. The walls were thin. The wind howled through the cracks. But it was safe. At least, I wanted to believe it was safe.I sat on the bed with the twins in my arms. My daughter was sleeping. My son was watching me. His blue eyes were fixed on my face. He never cried. He never fussed. He just watched.It scared me."Elara." Rowan's voice was soft. He was standing by the fireplace. He had managed to get a fire going. The flames were small. Weak. But they were there."You should sleep," I said."I'm not tired.""Rowan, you haven't slept in days.""Neither have you.""That's different.""How is that different?"I didn't answer. I couldn't.He walked to the bed. He sat beside me. He looked at the twins."They're beautiful," he said."They're perfect.""They look like you.""They look like Cassian."He was quiet for a moment. Then he spoke."Elara, I need to ask you something

    Chapter 86. Elara's PovI didn't know how long I ran. The woods were a blur of branches and shadows and moonlight. My daughter was screaming in my arms. My legs were burning. My lungs were on fire.But I didn't stop. I couldn't stop.Behind me, I could hear them. The children. Their laughter was everywhere. Inside my head. Outside my head. In the trees. In the ground. In the air."Elara!" Rowan's voice was behind me. He was running. He was catching up."Rowan, stay back!""I'm not leaving you!""Rowan!""Elara, I can see you! Keep running!"I kept running. My feet hit the ground. My arms held my daughter. My heart was pounding. My head was spinning.The woods were getting darker. The trees were getting thicker. The moon was hiding.I stumbled. Fell. Hit the ground.My daughter cried."Shh. Shh. It's okay. I'm here."I pushed myself up. I kept running."Elara!" Rowan's voice was closer now. "Elara, I can see the cabin!""The cabin?""Yes! It's just ahead!"I ran toward his voice. I di

    Chapter 85Elara's PovThe nightmares came every night now.I would close my eyes and see the well. The water. The children. The little girl standing at the bottom, reaching for me. Her black eyes were always the last thing I saw before I woke up screaming.The twins would be crying. Rowan would be holding me. Nyelle would be running into the room.But the children never came inside. Not yet. They stayed outside. Watching. Waiting.It had been three days since the birth. Three days since the door slammed shut. Three days since I held my son and saw his eyes glow white.I hadn't slept more than an hour at a time. I couldn't. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw them. The children. The door. The light."Elara." Rowan's voice was soft. He was standing at the window. His back was to me. "They're still there."I didn't need to ask who. I already knew.I walked to the window. The courtyard was full of them. Dozens of children. All ages. All sizes. All with the same black eyes. They didn't mov

    Chapter 84Elara's PovThe days blurred together. I lost track of time. Lost track of the sun and the moon and the hours between. The only thing that mattered was the twins. Their tiny hands. Their soft cries. The warmth of their bodies against mine.But I couldn't forget the children.They were everywhere now. Not in the house. Not in the room. But I could feel them. Watching. Waiting."Elara." Rowan's voice was gentle. "You need to eat.""I'm not hungry.""You haven't eaten in two days."I looked down at my twins. My daughter was asleep. Her lips were parted. Her tiny fingers were curled around mine. My son was awake. Watching me with his blue eyes. The same blue eyes that had been black. The same blue eyes that had glowed white."I can't leave them.""They're safe. Nyelle is here.""She can't protect them.""Neither can you if you starve yourself."I didn't answer. I didn't have the strength to argue.Rowan knelt beside me. He placed a bowl of soup in my hands. The warmth seeped th
