Chapter One Hundred Twenty-Two

LUNA

The first thing that left my body was the worry. I didn’t realize how heavy it had gotten because as it grew, my muscles had gotten bigger and harder. The stronger I got, the heavier the worry became, because I could carry it.

But now that it’s gone, the strength is too, and though it was built to carry all my human concerns, it also held me together. The bonds are weakening. Tiny particles are separating.

I am flour. I am smoke.

Me floats away from me. When the bonds are completely broken, they will all float away from each other, I will have no more muscles, and the worry will be left behind to sink in the liminal water under me.

Liminal water?

Wait. Carmine didn’t send me here. A vampire hasn’t accompanied me.

That must mean…

Fuck.
