I've also decided that after ADH, I will be possibly following up with Izadora and Titus' story so stay tuned! Now that I'm done being lame, please enjoy, rate and comment on chapter 8!
**Chapter 8: Elyah Awakes**
My body hurt, it burned and it ached. I'm not sure exactly what is going on, but if Kael and I did this from being a little rough, he's going to pay! I tried to open my eyes but even that slight movement made me shudder in agony. 'What the hell is wrong with me now?' I wondered to myself.
I tried again to open my eyes and was greeted with the sight of a hunched over sleeping Kael sitting next to our bed. Well that's odd... why isn't he in bed with me? We haven't left each other's side since I first woke up here, so why isn't he in bed with me now? I made an attempt to sit up but screamed out in horror. My body writhed in pain emanating from my back and well, you might as well say all over. I felt cool hands smooth my hair in a calming way and opened my eyes to see Kael's worried face lingering over me.
"Elyah, don't move so fast hun. You're body needs time to heal and accept what is going on before you can just get up and dance a jig." He chuckled out the last part as I stared at him in mass confusion.
"What's going on Kael, what happened to me? Why do I hurt so badly? Did you change me finally?" My eyes lit up at the idea of the last question, but it's weird that I don't feel any different. Surely I would feel different if Kael turned me... Hmm.
Questions came pouring out of me and my happiness slipped away as someone came into the room. Oh my god, he's through with me already! How dare he! Here I am in the most pain I've felt since, since 'they' took me and now he's found my replacement!
*Sigh* I can't really blame him though I guess, she's beautiful and I'm just a plain Jane who apparently just causes more trouble than she's worth. 'Oh damn, she reminds me of an angel and it makes me hate her even more.' I thought to myself as I did my best to get up from the bed.
Her long, flowing brown hair had hues of gold in it that seemed natural; as compared to fake dye jobs that leave you feeling like you just paid someone to put mustard in your hair. She was tall, but not overly so, and her frame was well built while not really on the small side.
'She's beautiful. Of course he would choose her over me. That's what you get for falling for someone you don't even know Elyah, damn you know better than this!' I couldn't help but to chastise myself mentally while I looked between Kael and this mystery angel that would no doubt ruin my life with Kael. Kael must have sensed my confusion and fear because he stepped towards me and cradled my face between his large hands.
"Elyah, this is Izadora, she's the mate to my best friend. Remember, the one that was going to come check on you?" I nodded but kept my eyes on her as she moved.
The angel now known as Izadora stepped forward slowly and sat at the edge of the bed. Her eyes seemed hurt and worried; I wonder what that's about... Out of nowhere, a bright light appeared from her palm as she took my hand.
I felt calm and warm as soon as she touched me, I could feel something strange coursing through me and I somehow knew that I wouldn't feel right without that strange electricity coursing through my veins. I gasped as I felt myself heal, there was no longer an agonizing pain in my upper back and my body felt like new! She released my hand and stood gracefully.
