Dead Embers
“Just being back home gave me a sense of security. Until I took a deep breath and gagged.
Until I registered exactly where Aidan and I arrived.
Until I took a deep breath and gagged.
The place reeked. The most disgusting and laughable thing was the familiar blue dumpster.
Aidan and I scanned the shadowed, grimy alley and grimaced at each other. We'd stood side by side as we arrived off the Bifrost, stepping right back into the stinking New York alley we both knew so well.
A glance at the wall be...hind me revealed the bullets still embedded in the brick. At my feet, dark brownish stains marked the spot where I'd dripped blood all over the filthy concrete. My last memory of this revolting alleyway was of being shot at, and the pain of Worthington's bullet plunging into my abdomen.
Sigrun, Aimee and Joshua followed a blink of an eye later, disturbing our trip down memory lane. Two other Valkyries, Enja and Pia, arrived along with them, completing the pairings for our mission.
Sigrun, of course, only meant to accompany us as far as the headquarters.MoreLess
