Khal was holding Devion and running towards where the healer was located.
He continued running, but for some reason, the path seemed to be stretching endlessly. No matter how fast he had become, he could not see the end of the path.
Khal paused slightly, catching his breath. His mind was so focused only on getting Devion to safety that he had not once realized the anomaly.
Fear crept within him, and Khal found it was becoming harder to breathe.
"Kill me, Khal." The hollow voice rang out, and just as Khal was finally about to snap, he paused.
With shaking pupils, he looked down at Devion in his arms.
Khal's lips quivered as he stiffened. His whole body chilled as he saw what he saw.
"Babe?" he called out in a daze.
Only to meet Devion's eyes, which were now empty; pupils had been pulled out as blood gushed out from them.
"Why?" Devion's voice rang, "I told you to kill me, didn't I? Why don't you kill me, Khal?"
