“W hat is this stuff?” Mari asked, turning in a slow circle as she scanned the
dense, pearlescent mist surrounding us. Her voice punctured the silence,
seeming to float along throughout the shimmering mist.
Mari was no longer the glowing, golden, au naturel version of herself; her
soul had reverted to a normal, non-glowing, clothed appearance the moment
we broke through the dark shell surrounding Aaru . A quick glance down at
myself told me the same had happened to me.
“I don’t know,” I told her, raising my eyes to continue looking around.
I’d died a few times before, and one time I’d even made a quick trip into
Aaru only to be yanked right back out by Nik, courtesy of our soul bond. I
may have been the only being to have ever escaped from this eternal
purgatory, but that hardly made me an expert on the place. I mean, I’d only
been here for a few seconds.
“It was like this the last time I was here,” I added unhelpfully.
“It’s kind of pretty,” Mari said, combing her fingers through the mist,
causing it to swirl chaotically.
“Sure,” I said, glancing at her sidelong. I wasn’t a big fan of being blind,
and the mist made it so we couldn’t see more than a few yards in front of us
clearly. We were sitting ducks, no clue as to what dangers might be closing
in all around us. “And it’s kind of creepy, too.”
Mari frowned at my comment, then shrugged.
Deep within the mist, my eyes caught movement. A mere shadow of a
person, but undoubtedly human-shaped. Hope made me believe it was
Anapa. He’d been thrown into Aaru mere minutes before our entry. He had
to be around here somewhere.
Squinting, I waved a hand out in front of me, trying to move some of the
mist out of the way to give myself a better view. But that vague, could-beAnapa silhouette faded, and just like that, whoever I’d seen deep within the
mist was gone.
“Kat . . .” Mari’s voice was low and filled with warning. “There’s
something out there.”
“I know,” I said, still searching the place where I’d seen the figure. I
pointed in that general direction. “I’d swear I just saw someone over there.”
I took a step, intending to find whoever I’d seen.
Mari’s fingers closed around my wrist. “Yeah . . . this is less of a some one
and more of a some thing .” Her tone sent a chill creeping up my spine, and
the tiny hairs all over my body stood on end.
That physiological response struck me as odd, considering I didn’t actually
have a physical body anymore—I was a ba , an energy being, now, just like
everyone else trapped in Aaru . But the spurt of not -adrenaline making my
not -heart pound and setting my not- brain on high alert captured those
pesky philosophical thoughts and shoved them away, stuffing them into a
corner of my mind for later dissection.
