Chapter 15

When we reached the others, I remembered Ceirwan. When he wasn't among the rest, I automatically opened my mouth to ask, but stopped when I saw Kella.

Kella's face said it all.

She could barely look at me.

Her expression a mixture of unimaginable anger and complete anguish.

She didn't need to utter a word.

Ceirwan was so cold. I kneeled beside him where Kella had wrapped him in a white blanket, covering his whole body up till his neck.

I felt someone beside me but had no concept of how far away they were or where I was. Everything felt like a blur. A sickening, gut wrenching blur that seemed to be in slow motion.

I couldn't say goodbye. I couldn't even speak, my mouth so dry and void of words.

Unaware that I was doing so, I sent out a probe but found nothing. No life pulse. Nothing. I felt as if I was going to throw up. My body shook and before I could reach out to Ceirwan someone held on to me.

I don't know why or how that one gesture could cause me to break down but it did. It was as if whoever held on to me was telling me it was over. That Ceirwan was truly gone. It was the final word that hadn't even been spoken.

I cried and sobbed until I was dry of all emotion.

I cried so much that every sob felt agonizing and tore my insides apart.

I had no idea how long I'd been sitting there. But whoever was holding me didn't let go. When I felt I couldn't shed another tear in my life, I looked up to see Matthew beside me. I knew I looked terrible, my eyes puffy red, my throat aching, but I didn't care. Matthew looked the same. He pulled me up and I walked away, not once daring to look behind me as Brydda picked up the white bundle that was Ceirwan and put him in a gypsy style caravan. I was too dead tired to realize the caravan was there. It must have been how Rushton, Brydda and Kella had come to be here. But at that moment, I didn't really care how they had gotten here.

I felt Rushton carefully ushering me into the caravan, not saying a word. I was grateful for that because I didn't want to hear anything. Not a word. At some point I was in denial. And it was a happy place to be. But once we were on the lonely road back home, that happy place came crashing down on me.
