If he cared to consider it, he had considered himself dead many times over already, not just from all the incidents that should be resulted in it. The world had taken things from him that he didn't even realize, had stolen away pieces of him in the night and never looked back. It was all the things that made him feel like a ghost wandering through the forest, like no one could see him or touch him or hear him.

A little voice had to keep reminding him that he had no where to go, no where to belong anymore. The hybrid shuddered and squeezed his eyes shut at the cold water.

Yes,he said, opening his eyes again. Laruku shifted and rolled onto his side, trying to push off with his arm into a sitting position. His muscles felt like they hadn't moved in ages and needle-like pinpricks ran up his arms like a thousand spiders. Still, he managed to sit himself against the wall and squinted, trying to focus on Rachias more clearly.
