Helanie:
I had been in the backseat of Salem's car. She was injured herself but didn't transition because she was scared they would come back for me. However, she made sure I was safe in the car and kept making Gavin run around to get me medicine or anti-flame-of-lust medication—basically, sleeping pills.
I had fallen asleep, but I would force my eyes open once in a while out of fear. Whenever I saw Salem and Gavin taking turns watching over the car, I would go back to sleep.
Now it was almost 6 PM when I woke up again, and this time, I felt fine.
"Ugh!" I sat up, groaning from the headache.
Seeing me wake up made the two immediately get in the car to check on me.
"How are you feeling now?" Salem asked, sitting in the backseat with me, the door behind her open.
"Much better," I replied, touching my forehead. She had bandaged me up, but the pain hadn't gone away.
"Helanie," Gavin, who was sitting in the passenger seat, tried speaking up, but Salem shot him a glare.
