Arrgh, it hurts. It really, really hurts!
It’s everywhere; spreading like fire, burning my insides to a crisp.
But why is it happening now? It wasn’t meant to happen this quickly—and I sure as hell didn’t get any warning!
I withered around on the floor, completely consumed in the agony that was caused by the clash of my two separate heritages within my blood.
Even through the pain I was acutely aware of Forrest and Blake crouching down next to me, both of them helplessly unable to save me from my self.
“River!”
I don’t know who it was that shouted my name, but the sound of their voice was the last thing I heard before everything went black.
