Chapter 99: That's A Soul Wound
Ren teleported midstep, appearing in his room in the Underwood manor with Lilith held securely in his arms. Her breathing was shallow, her body limp.
Immediately, Thorn and Elias burst into the room, already notified by Thorn's information gathering ability. They rushed to his side, their expressions filled with worry.
"Lilith!" Elias exclaimed in concern, stepping forward just as Ren carefully laid her down onto the bed.
Lilith's eyes fluttered open, her gaze flickering weakly to Ren. "We're… home?" She whispered.
"Yes." Ren nodded, grasping one of her hands in his. "You're safe."
Elias and Thorn hovered over her, taking in her pale and weak appearance. "What the hell happened to her?" Elias demanded, unable to believe his eyes. The Lilith he had known had never once been this weak before.
"Anders happened." Ren said quietly.
He explained what had been done to her, his rage bubbling with each word. He told them of how Anders had poisoned her, trying to force Ren into servitude in exchange for the antidote.
Lilith's fingers tightened weakly around his own. "Ren… don't…"
What do you think?
