Meghan, whispered a voice, heart wrenchingly familiar, drawing me out of the void. I recognized it immediately, just as I realized it was a figment of my desperate imagination, because the real owner of that voice would never be here, talking to me.Ash?Wake up, he murmured, his deep voice cutting through the layers of the darkness. Dont do this. If you dont come out of this soon, youll fade away and drift forever. Fight it. Come back to us.I didnt want to wake up. There was nothing but pain waiting for me in the real world. If I was asleep, I couldnt feel anything. If I was asleep, I didnt have to face Ash and the cold contempt on his face when he looked at me. Darkness was my retreat, my sanctuary. I drew back from Ashs voice, deeper into the comforting blackness. And, through the layer of dreams and delirium, I heard a quiet sob.Please. A hand gripped mine, real and solid, anchoring me to the present. I know what you must think of me, but The voice broke off, took a ragged breath. Dont leave, it whispered. Meghan, dont go. Come back to me.
