Lyla
I came awake slowly.
My body ached as if I had carried a thousand bricks. My head throbbed, my limbs were sore, and my mind was clouded with fragments of memory I couldn't piece together. The first thing I noticed was that I was in my human form… thank goodness. The second thing was that I was lying on the ground like before, being cradled in someone's arms.
My thought went to Xander.
My eyes flew wider in panic as I jerked upright, my breath catching in my throat.
"Easy," came a soothing voice.
I blinked rapidly, trying to focus my hazy vision on the person holding me. Finally, when it cleared, I saw Nathn. His blue eyes stared at me calmly. His lips were curved into a small smile, though this face showed faint traces of concern.
"Are you alright?" he asked again.
