I queried as Killian scooped me onto his lap.
“You’ve been exhausting yourself too much of late, that’s what causes the tiredness and headaches. She said all you need is rest, Naomi, and you’ll be fine,”
Killian said, pulling his hand to one of my cheeks and I leaned into it, knowing exactly where this conversation was heading to.
“Killian, I can’t,”
I said, looking him in the eyes, and his brows creased.
“Ever since we returned from Oasis, you haven’t rested properly, and it’s affecting you, Naomi. Zeriyah, Cora, and Valerie can take care of tomorrow’s ritual, please, just take the day off and rest,”
Killian once again insisted.
“I can’t, Killian. I also want to help in any way I can, to find out who the vessel is, and put an end to this darkness. I can’t think about anything else other than that.”
“Naomi,”
I stopped Killian before he continued. Nothing was going to change my mind after everything I saw from Amelie’s crystal ball. I failed to ensure that darkness didn’t find a vessel, and now it has, I had to help stop it.
“You don’t understand, Killian. Finding the vessel and putting an end to it is more important than anything else. Yesterday, I went to see Amelie,”
I confessed, and Killian leaned forward.
“Zeriyah said she wasn’t able to see anyone.”
I nodded. “Yes, it seemed so, but she spoke to me. She told me things, Killian, and I saw something in her ball. Our reality if this darkness wins,”
I couldn’t stop the fresh tears that gathered in my eyes, as those horrid images I saw in Amelie’s ball flashed through my mind.
Killian drew closer, and I felt the sudden pain he felt seeing me in this state.
“That’s why you rushed out from the castle in tears,”
Killian said, and I nodded, holding onto him tightly. “What did you see?”
I was unable to hold my tears back, and more water rolled down my cheeks.
“We lost, Killian. I saw everyone dead,”
Killian’s eyes widened, but he didn’t say a word. “It killed me to see you dead once again,”
I broke into tears, crashing against Killian’s chest. I felt his arms around me, and he buried his face in the crook of my neck, soothing me calmly.
“Naomi,”
he pulled away, cupping my face in his large hands. “None of it matters, because I know deep in my heart that we would win this bloody war, and put an end to this dark magic,”
I watched as his deep, fathomless gaze held hope.
I intertwined my hand with his, and he pulled it to his lips, kissing it. “Please don’t think about Amelie’s visions or the Council or anything for tonight. If you want to do the ritual, then it’s fine, as long as you promise me you’ll remain in bed, resting till tomorrow night,”
he pleaded, caressing my cheeks.
I couldn’t help but smile, “I promise, Killian.”
A small smile found his lips, as he leaned closer and kissed me. We pulled apart and he rested his forehead on mine. “Now, let’s get some sleep.”
I lay on the bed, sinking into Killian’s warm embrace, and I found myself falling into a deep, peaceful slumber.
Killian’s point of view
It was still the early hours of dawn, and darkness still lingered outside. I woke up earlier than usual the next morning. I had a few matters to tend to in my office today, and I wanted to get over with it before Naomi wakes up. I didn’t plan on leaving her side for the rest of today and during tonight’s ritual. I didn’t like the state she was in these past few days. Everything was getting to her. The coming war, this dark magic, and Amelie’s visions. Oh, goddess!
I collapsed into the chair in my office, rubbing the exhaustion off my face. I had to admit, Naomi’s words about Amelie’s vision had hit me badly. I knew Amelie’s visions were always accurate, but I also do believe visions, especially ones that were of the future could always be changed if we thread differently. And Naomi was right, the important thing now was finding the vessel and ending this darkness before the war.
I pulled myself out of my thoughts and glanced at the darkness outside the window. I had to be done soon. I forced my full attention into the work I had to do too.
An hour later, I was all done. I glanced at the window again, and the darkness outside had begun to fade. I left my office, making my way to my chamber. I grabbed the door and pulled it open, stepping inside. The first thing that caught my attention was the empty bed. My gaze scanned the chamber and Naomi’s scent was everywhere but she wasn’t in.
I growled in frustration. Naomi was so f*****g stubborn. Maggie had stressed the need for her to pull back from everything and rest, but Naomi just didn’t get it. What the hell does she want me to do if something bad happens to her? f**k, I’ll die.
I looked around and her boots were not where they were supposed to be, and so was her cloak. That means she didn’t go training. Immediately, I headed to Valerie’s spell room where she would be.
Without a second knock, Valerie pulled the door open. She was dressed already. I scanned the room, but there was no sight of Naomi, and I couldn’t even pick up her scent. She hadn’t been here. “What happened?”
Valerie asked.
“Did Naomi come by?”
I asked nonetheless.
Valerie shook her head. “No. Why?”
“She wasn’t in bed when I came in, so I thought she might be here,”
“She must be somewhere around. Do you want me to help you find her?”
she offered, but I shook my head.
“There’s no need, I’ll find her,”
I said. “Where are you going?”
“The Council. We have few preparations to set up before the ritual.”
I nodded, sighing. “Alright, I’ll leave now.”
After I left Valerie, I mind-linked a warrior to check the witches’ quarters and find out if Naomi was there. But she wasn’t. That confused me more. Where could she be?
I left the castle and tried to mind-link her but I couldn’t. Now I was getting worried. I began to track Naomi through her scent, and I was confused when it led me out to the East territory borders.
What was she doing here?
I scanned around, but I couldn’t see her, and it was difficult to pinpoint where she was because Naomi’s scent was everywhere. I focused more, and it began to lead me into the woods.
I moved hastily in the fading darkness, halting instantly on my tracks the instant my eyes fell on Naomi. She was standing a few distance away from me in the middle of the woods, doing absolutely nothing with her back to me.
I moved closer to her. “Naomi,”
I called to her but she didn’t budge. It was as though she couldn’t hear me. I invaded the distance between us, and hurried to her, grabbing her wrist. She was as cold as f*****g ice.
