I almost missed the shift of energy.
'Khimar. Khimar. Khimar,' I heard Luca's voice.
'You can stop. He is passed out, but I am barely hanging on myself,' I mind-linked Luca.
'How do I know it is you and not Khimar?' Luca mind-linked.
'Our voices in your head are different,' I explained.
'Earlier when I said sorry, it was me. That means Khimar knew if he responded to your mind-link you would have known,' I continued.
'Why didn't you speak up sooner?' Luca wanted to know.
'I didn't want to put you in danger,' I said. 'Luca, I am drunk as hell. I am slipping away,' I reminded him. 'Save me or don't, but at least tell Victor he has been fucking Khimar and not me,' I said.
'Let Raka know. That is all I ask,' I mind-linked before everything went black.
I woke up and immediately rushed to the nearest bathroom, past Raka, Victor, Cindy.
Was I dreaming? Khimar said he killed her.
I was barking my lungs out. Me. I had my body back.
I felt Luca's hand on my back. "You will be OK."
