“Get away from me.” She whispered out
Slowly I reached out and grabbed her hand,
She’s burning up.
“DON’T FUCKING TOUCH ME!”
She moved to take her hand out of mine but I gripped it tighter,
“Catalina relax, It’s me, Lucifer remember?”
She calmed for a moment as she began to look around the room. She was lost in her head, thinking hard it seemed, as if she was trying to remember something important. I could feel her heart rate increasing second by second.
This isn’t good. She has to find her calm.
Gently I released her hand and took her face in my hands, turning her to me,
“Catalina look at me, focus on me and breathe.”
Her panic-filled eyes met mine and I saw nothing but fear in them. That tightness in my chest from last night returned,
“You’re okay, you’re home and you’re safe,” I whispered to her. Slowly her heart rate began to slow.
Good. That’s good.
“There’s no one here that can hurt you.”
Her eyes closed briefly before she slumped forward against me. My arms instantly went around her waist as I pulled her in closer.
“You’re okay, you’re okay, you’re okay” I whispered to her over and over again as her breathing evened out.
“You should um-you should probably let me go and get out.” She said as she began to pull away.
“Why what’s wrong?”
“I think I’m going to-”
She didn’t get a chance to finish her sentence before she scurried over and emptied her stomach into the toilet.
I grabbed the blue plastic cup that sat on the sink counter and made my way to the kitchen, filling her cup with ice and cool water.
Gabriel wasn’t kidding when he said she was sick.
When I returned Catalina was still hunched over the toilet, gently I sat the cup down beside her as I gathered up her hair out of her face.
She emptied her stomach for another minute or so before she slumped back against the wall.
“Thank you.” She whispered,
I grabbed the cup from the counter and handed it to her,
“Here, drink this.” She took the cup and downed the ice-cold water within seconds.
“Are you alright?” I asked again.
She nodded back,
“I will be once Gabriel gets back.”
