"Jessica...."
Was someone calling me? I felt like I was floating, and the voice was far away, off in the distance. I wanted to go forward... the pain of going back hurt too much. All of a sudden, there was a bright white light ahead of me... too bright to look at with my human eyes... even with my shifter eyes.
"Jess, can you hear me?"
Was that my Dad? I sighed, knowing he would have a hard time once I was gone. I needed to go back... for him... but it hurt too much.
"Jessica. Come back to me...."
That was a different voice... a voice I would know anywhere.
Dakota.
Was he crying? Yes, he was. If I left him, he would never recover.
"Jessica, I love you...."
