Would that be so bad? Part of me wonders. I'm sick of creatures trying to kill me. It would be so much easier if I just let go. No more worries, no more fear. Just lie down and sleep.
No more friends to rescue and keep safe.
The thought sends another jolt through me. Brooke, Angela, Lisa, Arethusa, Sheila, Jennifer, Ondine, and Becky.
But Becky had tried to kill me. . . .
No, that had been the creature of light—Aldol?—possessing her. Becky's in trouble and the others don't know what happened, or that she was being possessed!
I don't have time to rest, I realize, as my resolve strengthens, Angela's presence lending me a small bit of strength.
"Becky . . .," I start, worried for the short brunette. There's no telling what the other women might do to her before they understand she's innocent.
