Chapter 200

• “You have more to protect than just you… you heard what she said that night. About getting weaker, being vulnerable with your gifts. I’ve seen it with my own eyes these last few days. It’s happening so quickly. Lorey, you’re not invincible, and I see you fading.” Meadow’s stubborn tone only softens my resolve a little, but I know I can’t give up.
• “Then we need to do it sooner rather than later before I worsen. Part of this is my broken heart and emotional exhaustion from being apart, and it won’t hinder me out there when I know it’s to save him. Right now, my gift is still strong enough… and I have no choice.” With no word from Darrius and no sign of the vampires receding… we have to do this. I don’t want to wait for something that may never come.
• There was no guarantee that the high lord would do anything when he found out I lived, and Meds is right. I am weakening much faster than I ever anticipated. These past days my tiredness has been severe, my skills at harnessing energy have dampened a little, and I seem to wear out so quickly from even menial tasks. We have to break the spell ourselves and bring them home before I end up completely useless. Leyanne suggested that being twins, and hybrids, is why it’s so much harder on me than expected. I’m feeding all my energy to two little powers in the making, and my body is trying to keep up.
