Chapter 18-Within
Aruna Ni knew that something was wrong, but she didn't know what. She could sense that something was going on, but she couldn't see or hear anything around her. She was trapped in her mind, banging on the walls and trying to get out. But she couldn't.
And then Ralya's presence disappeared.
But she knew that her cousin wasn't dead. Somehow they were disconnected, that was all.
Ysalamiri, she suddenly realized. And that meant that Ralya was in danger.
She could do nothing about it. Nothing.
She was trapped within.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If anyone had been near Aruna Ni then, they might have seen a tear slide down her pale cheek, and they would have known that she wasn't as dead as she seemed. But no one was there.
