Evelyn’s POV
I heard a scramble of voices before I was even able to open my eyes. Hell, I didn’t think I had the energy to.
Everything...Hurt.
“Everyone, please take a few steps back.” Wait, that was Kane’s voice...He was okay!
I wanted to smile. But the very thought of trying to move the muscles in my face that would allow me the chance to do so felt impossible.
The slits of my eyes started to open. Immediately, I was taken aback by the blinding light. I flinched, which caused a painful surge to course through me. I let out a pained mewl, wishing I could shield my face.
“Move the lanterns further away,” Kane ordered. His voice was deep and raspy. “They’re hurting her eyes, and she can’t see.”
He sounded so exhausted. I wanted to reach out and see how his injuries were faring.
