Kapitel 62: Shock

I quickly try to turn around but all I see is electric blue coming straight at my face! I lift my hands and quickly tap into the lightning before sending it straight back up into the blood-red sky. A large fist is suddenly seen coming straight at my face but I can't move fast enough!

I pull the wind to me, trying to buffer the blow but at the last second, the fist stops mere inches from my face! I quickly glance up and see solid, ice blue eyes staring down at me in shock. The wind instantly dissipates as I look up at him in shock.

"Th.. Thane?" I whisper out in disbelief but he suddenly looks up as another blast of lightning hits! The hand that almost hit me, quickly pulls me forward and into his chest as another blast hits something behind me!

I grit my teeth, feeling confused about what's happening until I see a dark creature of some kind trying to attack us. It lunges straight at us as a solid blue lightning bolt hits it midair! It splatters everywhere and causing a rain of questionable body parts.

Confusion eats away at me as Thane releases me and looks around. It was his lightning? He could now control lighting!? What was that creature!? It happened so fast, I'm having a hard time understanding what I just saw.

Suddenly, Thane grabs my arm and starts pulling me at a speed that even I have a hard time keeping up with. Why's he so fast!?! I try to get a better look at him but it's impossible. His hair is nearly the same length as mine...

I frown at the grip he has on my arm but I bite my tongue and stay quite. When we reach a small mountainside, he releases me only long enough to push a large stone out of the way. He reaches back and grabs my arm again before pulling me into the dark cave.

He lets me go and pulls the stone back over the opening before making a blue spark. He throws the blue spark and it catches a small pile on fire behind me. The whole cave lights up in an eerie blue color that has the stones shining like they were made of diamonds.

I look around the cave and see a sleeping pallet and a few cooking utensils made from sticks and other things but for the most part, it's bare. When I feel CheeChee shaking, I turn around and nearly jump out of my skin!

Thane was standing right behind me, sniffing me! I quickly take a step back and finally get to look him over. I quickly glance down at his hands but other than his nails being black, they seemed normal. I wasn't too late...

I look back up to his eyes and see that they're faintly glowing a blue color, much like the flame behind me. Why's he so quite? It's unnerving... "Thane?" I call out in a small, unsure voice. Something shifts in his eyes before he suddenly reaches out and grabs me.

He pulls me against his solid chest and wraps me in a hug so tight, I almost can't breathe. All the fear and uncertainty vanishes as I wrap my arms around him and hug him back. I feel his tense body starting to relax before I hear him sigh.

Suddenly, his knees give out and we're both falling. His grip doesn't loosen as we fall and he continues to hold me tight. I have no idea what this man's been through but by the way he's holding me, It feels like he's on a ledge and about to fall.

When I struggle to breathe, he loosens his grip a little but doesn't let go. "I'm so sorry... If I had known, I would have come sooner. I'm so sorry.." I say with tears choking me. He hugs me tightly again and shakes his head, still not saying anything.

Why isn't he speaking? Is something wrong? Is he hurt? Or is it something worse? I try to lean back to see him but he lifts a hand and forces my head back against his chest. Confusion and worry eat at me but I don't fight against him. CheeChee jumps down and hops to the side with the bed with wide eyes.

Maybe this is the first human contact he's had since coming here... My heart aches at the thought but when I feel him move, I try to lean back again. He lowers his hand and picks me up as he stands and walks me over to the bed like I weigh nothing!

My heart begins to race in fear but then I remember that I'm male to him. Wait... I'm clearly dressed as I female right now... how does he know it's me? Well... I guess I still look like me but...

He lowers us both down onto the soft bed that he clearly made from things he's found and pulls me back against his chest. This is starting to get a little awkward... Every time I try to pull away or try to look at him, he shoves me back against his chest.

Can he tell that I'm female now? My boobs aren't wrapped or anything... Why isn't he saying anything!? Why does he keep holding me like this!? I try to talk to him again as I call out "Thane? Are you okay? Well, I know you aren't okay but are you... are you hurt?"

He continues to silently hold me without a single word, causing me to internally panic. I try asking him several things but he continues to silently hold me against him like I'm about to disappear at any moment. After what feels like hours, I start to drift off to sleep.

It's not until I'm fully relaxed and drifting in and out of sleep that I finally feel him starting to relax. I force myself to remain "sleeping" in fear of him clutching me tight again but all he does is lay me down against the makeshift bed.

I feel like I can finally breathe again! It takes everything in me not to react when I feel his fingers brushing along my jaw. What is he doing!? Is it really because he hasn't had any real human contact? I feel myself frown before I slowly turn my head towards him and slowly open my eyes.

I feel my mind go blank when our eyes meet. They're no longer blue...
