Sabastian was gone.
That was the statement that repeated in my head. I was frozen in time. My gaze lingered on the spot he disappeared with the vodyanitsa. The fact that he was unconscious made everything worst. I had no idea how or when it happened. Emotions left me. A numb sensation stayed behind. It was like all my previous emotions were his. Now he was gone, the amygdala in my brain forgot to process any emotions. It left me empty. He left me empty.
My one job was to help him retrieve Leo. I failed. Leo was here, but he was gone. Sabastian was too strong-willed to turn into a slave. He was a god, so they would not be able to kill him. Which led to the last factor. They would keep him trapped there. We could not leave this river if Sabastian was not with us. It was up to me to get him out. To fill this void space in my soul.
