Chapter 69

• LYDIA
• My eyes fluttered open when I noticed the air shift. The warm heat that surrounded me had been replaced by a cool breeze. There was chatter across us. Only then did I realize we were back in Nightshade territory. The square of the estate to be precise.
• "We made it," I whispered to Elliot but he didn't reply. His body dropped to the floor like a swatted fly and only then did I realize our hug was not the only thing that kept me warm in this exposed area. My shirt was drenched in crimson. Elliot's blood! I dropped to the floor and tore off his shirt off his skin. I gasped at the sight I had exposed with my own hands. Elliot had cuts and burns in every part of his body. Injuries that weren't there prior to the teleportation.
