I try to take a step, and my legs give out. My knees hit the floor and everything goes black.
“Daisy.” My body is lifted. “Sally, I need a fucking car. I don’t know if she’ll get worse if I blur.”
“They came in one. I’ll hot-wire it,” Sally says.
I don’t know why that penetrates. “Don’t,” I whisper, trying to open my eyes. “I stole the keys.”
“Fuck, Daisy,” Micah rasps before kissing me. His claim reassures me that I am back in the present. He tears his mouth away. “Love, are you alright?”
“My head hurts,” I whisper. I want to lift my hand to it, but my body doesn’t respond.
“I’ll make it better,” Micah says.
“My brother,” I cry.
“He’s already out.”
“Micah, my mom,” I whisper.
“I know, love. She is upstairs,” he says. “She was afraid staying with you would bring you more pain.”
“I remember. I remember everything,” I say, finally able to look at him.
“You're not hurt anywhere?” he asks, his face anxious.
“No.” The shock is starting to wear off, and I slide my hands around his neck. “Why is Rowen still chained?” I ask as we pass him.
“Ryker is getting him blood,” Micah says, stopping. “We won’t take any chances with safety.”
“Don’t worry, Daisy. I’ve waited this long; I can wait a few more minutes,” Rowen says.
“I hope to see you again,” I say.
“We’ll see,” he responds, and Micah nods at him and continues.
“Did you kill Carter?” I ask.
“No. I kept him alive. Bash will take him and Turner to the club. When you are feeling better, you can decide how to deal with them,” he says.
“No,” I say, my strength coming back quickly.
He stops and frowns. “What’s wrong?”
“Bring them down here,” I demand.
“Love, are you sure?” he asks.
“Yes. I want to see them.” The missing memories are still fresh and I want to hear the truth from them.
“Bash. Saphira. Bring them down,” Micah calls out and then looks down at me. “This is what you want?”
“Yes. I need to do this,” I say firmly.
“I was terrified I lost you,” he says. “I should have come sooner.”
“I was fine until I saw my mom,” I assure him. “Are they alright?”
“They are alive,” he says grimly.
