Allie's War Season One (162 page)

Pain slid through me, so intense that he clutched at me, kissing my throat, then my mouth, letting out a low sound, caressing my face. I missed him so badly I wrapped my arms around him, as tight as I could, trying to pull him closer to me, as if to breathe him in under the rest.

“Shhhh,” he murmured. “It’s all right,” he said. “We’ll fix it up, Allie. I can get us food. I’ll call ahead. I have people helping me now...”

But that was too much reality.

The picture broke apart.

I nodded against his chest, forcing myself to smile.

“What about the horses?” I said, wiping my eyes. I smiled at him again.

“We’ll bring them inside,” he said, smiling back. “They’ll keep us warm, Allie. We can ride them to the bathroom...”

I looked up at him, helpless. “Revik—”

“Come with me,” he begged. “Please...please, love...please...”

Looking at him, I knew I couldn’t refuse him. But I also knew Vash was right.

Whoever he was, the man in front of me wasn’t really Revik.

Even as I thought it, the alarm went off inside the construct. I felt it even as Revik looked up, and I saw the predatory glint return to his eyes. The darker pieces of him shifted over his head, and the fingers on me grew tight.

“I’ll be back for you, Allie,” he said. He kissed me, and I felt the promise behind his mouth. “I’ll be back.” Pausing for the barest breath, he looked at me, and the softness returned to his face. He caressed my cheek, tears in his eyes once more.

“I love you, wife,” he murmured. He kissed me again. “I adore you…I positively adore you. Wait for me, Allie…please…”

Before I could form words, he was gone.

I still stood there, my mind numb, in pieces, when Balidor ran up to where I stood. I stared at the gun in his hand without seeing it…then, without comprehending what it was. His steel-gray eyes looked angry, almost forboding, until he looked directly into mine.

He clutched my arm.

“Alyson.” He shook me gently. “Allie...are you all right? Did he hurt you?”

I couldn’t answer. I stood there, leaning against the wall, fighting to breathe as Balidor stared into my face. Only one thought repeated in my head, on a loop I couldn’t stop, couldn’t even make sense of.

Vash had been right, I thought. He had been right.

My husband was dead.

Revik was really dead.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

There are probably over a hundred people I could thank for providing input and inspiration on this series. Thanks to Amelia Craigen, Izolda Trachtenberg, April Aasheim, Michael Bellomo, Benjamin Chambers and especially Tamela Viglione for their genius minds, Jackie and Andy for putting up with me in the early years and my writing groups in San Francisco and Portland for all of their insights. Thanks to all of my lovely friends at McLeod Ganj for inspiring me and teaching me. To the beautiful folks at J Café, I tip my hat as well, for always having coffee ready for me on my crazy writing jags.

 

Finally, appreciation and some measure of apology to my family, who have done their best to tolerate my oddities, including the ones that always seem to lead me wandering for long periods far from home.
