You coming, Nick? He reluctantly stopped trying to search out her core and glanced at the bubbling acid pit. Yeah. She nodded, then wrapped her hand around his wrist.He did the same to hers, locking their grip tight. Hang on. I m hanging. She met his gaze and then stepped over the edge and disappeared into the boiling pit of acid.He had afraction of a second to prepare, and then he was in it with her.The pain hit him so hard and so fast it slammed the air out of his lungs.It felt like his skin was beingripped off, like his eyeballs were being clawed out of his face.Jesus.He d never make it.He could tell itwas consuming him, devouring him, eating through his essence. Come on, hell boy. Becca s voice came at him through the darkness. Channel your dark side. He ground his teeth. How? And then she was there, her body against his. Reverse the flow of emotions between us.Take mine. He wrapped his body around hers and buried his face in her neck, and started to draw on her emotions.Icy cold hit him, chased away the heat inside him.Emptiness, a void that began to build in his chest andspread throughout his soul.

God, but he didn t want to.It was a horrible feeling.But he did it anyway, and the emptier he got, the less his body hurt.He stopped worrying about Dani.He stopped hating the Council for killing his pa.He stopped lusting after Becca, even with her bodypressed up against his, her breasts crushed against his chest.He just was.And then they were hit with light and they tumbled to a hard marble floor.He protected Becca s bodyfrom the impact, instinctively.He frowned as she looked down at him, stretched across his body. Nice work, Markku.You did allright. Get off me. He couldn t stand that empty feeling anymore.He needed light.He needed to feel whole. Off. Hurt flickered in Becca s face, but she rolled off him and hopped to her feet. You re welcome. He stood up and thought about Dani, tapped into his love for her, his anger at whoever put her in thebubble, and his life force returned with a roar that had him stumbling.He took a deep breath and flexedhis fingers, embracing who he was.He opened his eyes to see Becca watching him with envy, and nowhe understood why. That s how you live? She shrugged. It s what it is. How do you survive it? It s not a big deal. She rolled her shoulders. How can you say that? He was still shaken by the experience, and she didn t seem bothered?She looked at him. Because it s not a big deal.Really. He moved closer and reached out to clasp her wrist, needing to know whether that emptiness was aresult of the bubble, or whether it was her. It s really you.That s how you live. I m fine. She wrenched her arm free and glared at him. Don t go all soft on me, hell boy.We ve gotthings to do. But in her eyes was such deep pain, such vibrant loneliness, that he felt his own heart stutter from it.Afaint humming filled his body as he slipped his hands to her shoulders, cupping the bare skin, unable tostop himself. You hate it. No, I I can t let you live like that.My healer side.I can t walk away from your pain.
