Chapter 260: CHAPTER 260 Bridge Of No Return Part 2

　　~ JESSE ~

　　I lay at the base of the stone walls of the chasm that was the darkness of Cazz's soul, the black, midnight storm above sending the chill wind whispering over my skin. Dust pattered against my face and I just screwed my eyes shut tighter and prayed it would be over soon.

　　I didn't even try to get my face out of the dirt anymore. The pain rocked through me in waves that wouldn't stop now. There was no relief- just the rise and fall of torment.

　　Cazz was… doing something. I didn't know when the moment would come, but the bond was trembling, humming, vibrating like glass under pressure and about to shatter. I gripped the ground, dirt under my nails, feeling like the moment this ended the earth itself would fall out from under me and I would tumble into freefall… maybe forever. Maybe to my death. Maybe just into torment without end.

　　Hope. I needed hope.
