@theolangley -- The Resol, after Mathias' attack
When Yenna opens her eyes again, the carpet floor around her is starting to soak with blood, and everything hurts so much that she can barely move. The shattering pain in her side almost rips her apart, and still, everything Yenna can think about is Isaia.
How she's only a glimpse away from him now, how she can almost hear his voice in her head. And then suddenly, it's almost like she can hear Theo too -- or at least the familiar echo of his shoes on the tiles. Then the noise gets louder, and Yenna realizes he's actually there.
She tries to speak, tries to raise a hand, but all she can get out of her mouth is a weak gasp for air. She doesn't quite remember how she ended up here, or why -- and then suddenly she remembers, and panic takes over her body in a final rush of adrenaline.
The woman starts breathing out panicked gasps, afraid it is in fact the stranger who came back to finish the job -- and she can't smell, can't quite hear, can't quite feel, at least not anything other than pain.
Her mind is racing, and she's starting to feel dizzy -- eyes fluttering shut, thoughts circling around the carpet floors, Isaia, and blood. Why is there so much blood? Who is bleeding?
A second wave of panic hits as her chest starts to hurt, and Yenna rips her eyes back open -- and all she can croak out is a terrified "Theo."
