I started panting, trying to get my way through the tall cavernous trees.
Owe, one of the sharp branches surrounding me scrapped my left leg.
Uh-oh, that can't be good, I thought.
Rustles came from all around me as I stood in the middle of an open targeted spot in the forest... how coincidential could this get?
"Amy, c'mon, I didn't mean to, I love you," Gabrielle said all around me, from every direction.
I looked around the perimeter of the almost perfect circle, but the damn meds made me dizzy and it was hard to concentrate on what exactly I was looking at.
"Leave me alone!" I hollared towards the open sky and dropped to my knees, the patient's cloak still on my person, and the only outfit that I could wear at this moment.
No jacket, pants, just practically a dress with dirt and scratches.
"Why would I leave the one I love alone?" Gabrielle appeared next to me and I scrunched my eyes tight enough to and chanted out the words, "He's not real, this isn't happening, I'm just in the hospital, no my room, yeah my room, sleeping, having a nightmare... again."
"Silly Amy, you know this isn't a nightmare."
I opened my eyes, Gabrielle grabbed the bottom of my face and slowly dragged his cold fingers, feeling his way to the scratches, and dirt on my face.
"Tisk, tisk, tisk, you should've stopped running, now you have bruises and cuts... with flesh exposing blood."
"Don't touch my face," I said wacking, well attempting, to wack his hand away.
The electric shock made my arm numb then again, soulmates do that constantly.
Gabrielle leaned in closer, hoasting himself up by standing on his hind legs, slouching down to reach me... his dark brown hair and his eyes blazing with fire and heat... even though no heat was radiating physically, I could feel the rage of his bare touch against my face.
"No," I said. "No, No, No. NOO!"
He leaned in inches away from my face, his cold breath evaporating onto my neck.
"No," I whispered.
"No what?" Gabrielle said, but as he said it, the slightest bare touch brushed against my lips, and before I could scream, his connection aggressively took my breath away.
