Chapter 6
Cool air rushed over her skin and all around her; it felt so good. She hoped to feel more of it, and more did come. Instinctively, she drew the cool air into her lungs, and it was moist and sweet.
She opened her eyes and saw nothing but darkness. Cloud, barely visible, passed by, touching her skin and leaving dew behind.
Her soul was flying to the afterlife, she thought.
Then something slapped her on the arm, not once but twice. She looked and saw that it was dark material, and it made flapping noises.
She followed the material with her eyes and saw that an arm with a white hand groped her rib cage, and another arm groped just under the back of her knees.
Looking up, she saw a white-as-snow face, and black as pitch eyes with hair to match.
She looked like a statue. Her skin was hardened and without a single line on it; from her came no scent and no pheromone.
It was Credenza.
Starr looked below. Mountains flew by, under her.
“We have to go back,” she said.
Credenza ignored her.
She fidgeted and moved around.
Credenza, who was a powerful telepath, said into her mind, be still.
When Starr refused and kept talking about making sure her friends were alright, Credenza turned her onyx eyes down to hers and held her gaze.
Starr felt sleepy again. She tried to tell herself to stay awake, but her lids got heavier and heavier. Finally, they shut out the night.
