I was awoken by a screech coming from the door. Once again, Lokesh stood confidently in the doorway. At a quick pace, he came to stand over me. I could feel my throat getting thick and my eyes pooling with tears. I turned away, ashamed at how weak I was.
"You are in great pain, darling. The lost of you tigers is too much for you to endure." He handed me a goblet filled with silver liquid. "Drink this. You won't feel anymore pain. Ren and Kishan will be happy and won't suffer the heartache and desperation they do now."
It smelled like hot chocolate, and my mouth was already watering. I hadn't had anything to drink in days, and the temptation was too much for me to handle. I turned and snatched it from him. I gulped it down hungrily, savoring every moment. It was hot and thick and filled my body with euphoria (I didn't know what it meant when I typed it, had to look it up. Surprised I knew it lol). I felt my memory fade away, but I was so happy I hardly noticed.
My wrists and ankles suddenly felt free as pulled me back to reality. I turned to look and saw Lokesh kneeling next to me, with a key in his hands. He gently brushed away a loose tear on my face. I grasped his hand. Why was I crying? I smiled sweetly, not caring anymore.
He wound his hands around my waist, and I pulled him closer to me. There I held my true love, my center of gravity, my life.
