Nefretiri
I didn't pass out, but I might as well have.
The second Sebastian was gone, I lost what little energy I had holding me together, and I collapsed. That caused me to shift, and in the place of the giant silver-furred hellhound was me, naked, gasping for air, and moaning because I felt like I'd lost part of myself again. Sebastian was the raw aspect of Ivan's soul and essence. It was addictive and overpowering. Now, I felt like I'd been robbed of a life-giving drug that would save my life. It made it hard to want to be here, and I honestly thought I'd made a mistake in rejecting his offer to awaken me.
So, I lay there, broken and not even knowing if what I'd done worked.
