Kolya staggered under the combined weight of Luka's intent stare, the alcohol he had consumed and his own fear. He was curious to know Pyotr's fate, but unwilling to bear the brunt of the consequences.I have done this! I was not careful enough, I was not bold enough, and I did not love him enough! Kolya wailed in his soul. He was still robbed of speech. His bleary eyes tried to focus on Luka; he tried so hard and was unable to do so. Finally the burden became too much.
He sank to his knees and then lay prostrate on the floor in his grief. Neither Luka nor Nadia able to reach into his soul. Their hands carelessly shrugged off as Kolya willed himself to dissolve into the floor. Slowly, Kolya felt all of his internal systems starting to shut down. His mind, his heart, his soul. Disbelief evident on his features, Luka watched as Kolya tried to will himself to death, believing that Pyotr had already gone on to his.
Nadia screamed long and loud, echoes reverberating endlessly in the room. Luka was attempting to lift Kolya from his prostration, with no success. He tried to merge his gaze with Kolya's, but Kolya's was blank. His mind in retreat already. The darkness so impenetrable to Luka even as he searched his mind. In his frustration, Luka tried shaking Kolya, but he was a rag doll, limp in his arms. This was how Stephanos and Marianna found them. Stephanos grabbed the catatonic Kolya and also tried.
Nothing reached Kolya inside his black hole. He felt safe there. That was all. He didn't remember why he found himself in the swirling blackness, but it was comforting. Almost as if he was floating, there was tranquility. The more he heard noises, the more he retreated as he faded further and further away. He knew enough to hide. The voices and noises brought pain, and he wanted no part of that. Deeper and deeper into the recesses of his mind he plunged until the noises were no more. Then there was utter stillness.

spiritwalkerover 18 years agoI just know it will. Could be that I'm just hoping, but that is a good thing to have, 'hope'. Cause without it, poor Kolya will never make it. As you see in this chapter, his lack of hope has plunged him into an empty world of darkness. It happens. But there is always hope as long as the patient is breathing and has an active brainwave. There is always hope.
moffettasweetover 18 years agoPoor Kolya!!!!!! More Miss. Marie! I wanna know what's gonna happen to our heros!
mastergary4u2over 18 years agoMarie, I know you like roller coasters, and boy do you have one here. Good twists and turns that are about to collide with the end of the book. Excellent work, woman. Love it all.
Doug Lewisover 18 years agoGirl, when you weave a story, you weave it well. This is all good stuff here. Poor Kolya.
dcraigover 18 years agoJust when we think you're going one way, you blast us through another mindbending portal of adventure. Am so enjoying this quickly becoming 'full lenght book'.
windstormyover 18 years agoI understand how Kolya feels. It's so hard to deal with the death of a loved one. And even though Pyotr's not dead yet, in Kolya's mind, he might as well be.
I liked the way you brought out so many facts in this chapter. Such as the true life facts of catatosis. You did some research on it, I'm sure. Lol. :)
Keep em coming, Marie. Waiting to find out what's gonna happen to our favorite heros and heroines.
sweeteric2u2over 18 years agoYou can not leave this like this, Marie!! What a spellbinding chapter! You have done an awesome job of jerking tears from my eyes again. Just when you think things are all coming together, bamb! You throw in another hitch to the story. I want more! And I have to know what happens to Kolya and Pyotr! Please hurry!!!
