13 – Touch

It all goes to hell in a hand basket, and as usual, Jaina can only stand by and watch.

And she knows she will break. How could she not? She survived, again and again, when others died and left her behind. She fought until she forgot her reason, she killed until blood followed her into her dreams and they still expect her to get up and continue forward.

And yet she won't fall.

Jag will never believe it, but the feeling of his eyes on her – the ghost of a touch she can almost feel –is enough to save her.


A/N: Late, but better late than never: Happy New Year 2014!
