Chapter 19
Kind of a short one, but much more to come. I'm editing as fast as I can...and still writing. Thanks again for the great reviews.
Chapter 19
A breath of chill air stirred Cassie’s hair, fluttering lightly across her body. Awareness seeped back to her mind and a throbbing pain beat at her brain. A moan touched her hearing and she slowly realized, the sound was her own voice...the voice of her pain.
Afraid yet to move, Cassie lay, gathering her scattered thoughts through a cloud of muddled ramblings cascading through her brain. With deliberate care, she picked out the most basic needs...where, when, how, why.
Beneath her cheek and bare arms, the hard floor felt cold and damp. Stone. She lay on stone, uneven and rough to the touch. She forced her eyes open, fearing pain, but only darkness thick as India ink greeted her gaze.
Have I gone blind?
An unreasoning terror took hold of Cassie, a whimpering sob escaping through clenched teeth.
Closing her eyes, Cassie grasped at her sanity, trying to recall her most recent memories.
An ache started up in her back and Cassie drew her arm down only to have agony blossom from wrist to shoulder. She cried out and fell back on her stomach.
Memories flooded back to her, of Mystique’s brutality and the woman’s rage at finding out what had been done to Kurt. She needed to warn Kurt and Logan. She needed to warn Charles.
Yet, Mystique’s last words before knocking her unconscious filled her mind with another wave of irrational terror.
Where am I?
Reaching, Cassie held her broken arm close to her body and rolled, a swell of agony washing over her. She lay on her back panting and looked up again into impenetrable blackness. She sensed space all around her and reached out with her right hand, feeling in all directions and found nothing within reaching distance of where she lay.
“Hello? Is anyone there?” Her trembling voice echoed back to her and she sensed a cavernous expanse of space.
A cave. I’m in a cave.
Knowing didn’t ease Cassie’s mind. Hopelessness shivered down her spine and back up, lodging in her terror racked brain.
With a deep breath, Cassie pushed up to sit, her broken arm cradled against her chest. Her head ached with nauseating dizziness and her cheek throbbed, but the pain in her arm overrode all else, washing her with wave after wave of agony.
She waited out her dizziness and her equilibrium began to stabilize. Reaching out behind her, Cassie felt floor and scooted backwards, searching for a wall, searching for a boundary to start from.
After what felt like eternity, something solid rising upward greeted her groping fingers. An hysterical urge to laugh gripped Cassie and she let it out, needing to hear her own voice. But the sound of its terror frightened her all the more, tears finally pushing at her eyelids.
“Oh dear God, help me...please...someone help me.”
Cassie leaned back against the rock wall and let her sobs overtake her.
