Chapter 17: Awakening

Celeste POV

I am running through the woods, jumping over big branches, and ducking under the low-hanging ones. I feel my energy has increased by ten folds. My vision feels oddly better and clearer.

I wouldn’t call myself a slower runner, but my pace is much faster than normal. I continue to sprint and try to catch scents that will lead me back to the packhouse. I slow down to figure out where I am.

I look down at my hands, the flames are now gone but I still see the blue light around me. I don’t know what happened to me.

I need to continue to run, I pick up my pace once again when I start to feel dizzy. I come to a stop and hold myself against a tree. Am I pushing myself too hard?

I know I was knocked out with a piece of wood and I punched the floor, making my knuckles bleed. Did I lose too much blood and now I am pushing myself too much?
