Azariah drew deep breaths, his eyes snapping open.
His body trembled with fear, hands reaching towards his neck.
He patted it continuously, ensuring his skin was still attached.
He calmed down, his eyes stopping their trembling as he looked around.
Christina stood beside him, protecting his body while he was unconscious.

His face hardened as he remembered her last words, his head snapping as he looked at Faye.
She slowly crawled to her feet, her eyes pure white without any pupils, welling up with tears.
"Shit..."
