Dancing in the Dark

Chapter 32. Aftermath

Well, it is what you've all been waiting for! Many were not happy with the ending but I say . . . MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA~!

I love you guys though <3

QOTD : Who is your personal favorite character?

"She won't like what we have to say."

 I kept my eyes closed, although opening them was my task at hand. They won't open. It takes too much energy. Yet, was I back home? Was I still at my brother's underground palace? I didn't know right now. 

"She isn't going to have a choice."

"Connor, she's waking up!" 

"Let's hope for the best."

"She'll be ok though, right?"

"I'm sure she will be, she's strong."

"But will he?"

Silence.

I groaned, squeezing my eyes shut as I struggled to come back into real life. My senses were slowly coming back to me. Scent told me I was no longer at the palace, but . . . home!

Struggling furthermore, my eyes became narrowed slits. I blinked hard a few more times before my vision was finally working.

In front of me were a few different people.

Connor, Cayde, Dylan, Asher and Anna. 

I swallowed, my throat feeling dry and itchy.

"Anna, water," Connor commanded. Anna nodded before turning and grasping a water bottle from a counter. From what I could see, I was in a hospital cot.

I took the bottle from her, feeling incredibly weak. The bottle felt like it was 50 pounds at minimum.

Bringing it to my mouth, I took in the refreshing liquid. I gulped down a few sips before stopping, feeling somewhat more alive.

"Raven, how do you feel?" Dylan asked to my side. I looked over at her.

"Kind of shitty, how about you?" I asked.

"Kind of worried," She replied. I frowned. She had large bags under her chocolate brown eyes, and her hair had lost that once bright brown.

A thought hit me.

"Tyler, where's-"

"He's at home," Connor cut me off, his eyes meeting mine. Nobody in the room moved, but their eyes all traveled to the ground.

"What's going on?" I questioned slowly. Again, everyone remained silent. My eyes went to Asher, Dylan's mate. His hazel eyes refused to meet with mine. Then I switched to Connor. His blue eyes didn't seek mine out either. Neither did Anna's or Cayde's.

"What happened?!" I snapped. Their heads whipped up to stare at me before Cayde and Connor shared nervous glances.

"It's complicated . ." Anna muttered, beginning to nervously play with the ends of her blonde hair.

"What's complicated is discovering the square root of pi, so one of you better buck the hell up and explain to me more about my mate!" I hissed, getting annoyed. How could they not tell me? I felt my stomach drop as they continued to stay silent. Was it really that bad?

"Luna, you've been unconscious for two days since we got you back. Alpha Tyler hasn't showed any signs of waking up." Asher told me in a solemn voice. My worry sped up into full throttle.
