Daniel wanted to run. His instincts were telling him to run to safety and not come out until he was sure it was safe.
But his body could not comply with his wishes, and he felt too tired to move anywhere. All he could do was lie down on the bed and wait for his body to settle down.
The hand that touched his back felt warm and cold at the same time. He wanted to pull himself closer and also push himself away.
'Ugh, I am such a mess. I need to find a way to get to safety. I need to find Ivan-'
Daniel's body was beginning to look for the Enigma it had recognized as its mate, but he could not sense Ivan's presence anywhere. That scared him, and Daniel grabbed his throat to get more oxygen inside.
His body felt like it was breaking apart, and he was not able to focus.
A solid hand grabbed his chin and made him look up. Daniel let out a gasp as his eyes met a familiar pair above him, and he froze in shock.
