Glancing up at her, Will nodded once "I can But it&039;s not one-directional My thoughts are visible to you, especially if I&039;itated, like now It&039;s more than a sensation, Kahli The blood linked us I can see your thoughts Your dreams flicker behind my eyes when you sleep It&039;s a direct link to your mind, and mine"
Kahli&039;s face blanched "Linked us?" Will nodded The pit of her stomach felt hollow Kahli wrapped her arhter tolinked to Will was ideal, but there was another va? Are we linked the same way?"
"Not unless you drank his blood"
Relief washed over her and the death-grip on her ar a breath, and shook her head saying, "Thank, God"
"Indeed," Will replied He stood and walked over to her, stopping just out of reach "However, you have to realize, that had to be the King&039;s intention If your blood wasn&039;t so powerful, they would have consumed more That&039;s what I couldn&039;t tell you before The first drops the istrate consumed nearly had fatal side-effects They weren&039;t used to human blood like yours You nearly killed the He drank from you, didn&039;t he? I mean, he didn&039;t just rip open your throat and not taste you, right?"
Kahli&039;s sto was hard to resist I couldn&039;t think around hied" A flush reddened her cheeks Will atching her, but she couldn&039;t look at him as she said it "He bit ether hard, her gaze vacant like she was reliving the nightes and sensations blazed brilliantly in herher shiver in response Kahli s to chase away the fear She stared into space as she spoke, "For a second, I was able to think I don&039;t knohy I realized as happening and that if I didn&039;t do so" she sucked in a breath and looked up at hi wasn&039;t at , but he did drink fro that had happened, she didn&039;t want to second-guess Will, but they were connected now and it didn&039;t make her feel more secure It made her feel vulnerable He knew exactly what she was thinking He could sense her thoughts and had access to everything inside of hershe wanted with anyone Ever It was too s, no time to react to what had happened They&039;d both been so close to death While losing Will wasn&039;t an option, she didn&039;t mean for this to happen, either It was partly her fault that they were linked Kahli wondered if Will could sense her apprehensionwith the cold fear in the pit of her sto to creep up her throat and choke her Her fingers cla to contain the panic that was rapidly growing
Will placed his hands on her arms, and looked down into her eyes His voice, earnest, pleading almost, "I won&039;t hurt you I prohtened He knehat she was thinking "Why can&039;t I read your thoughts so easily? I feel you there, inside of ers to her tehts are muddled I can feel the - just feelings without words"
"I can control the link a little a bit While you slept, I had ti as I control it, you won&039;t hear s, like I hear yours" As he said it, Kahli started to twist out of his grip, but he held onto her "Please, don&039;t look at me like that I didn&039;t do this on purpose I couldn&039;t lose you I did it to save you Please, you have to trustme to trust you - completely and totally - but you&039;ve shut h mine whenever you like?" They were nose to nose, Will&039;s fingers tightly gripping her ar her in place
"It&039;s not like that"
"Then, what&039;s it like? Because it&039;s like that for me" She looked into his face, breathless Her heart pounded like she&039;d been running, and was unable to catch her breath, "Will, how as and thoughts are shared Friends confide in each other There&039;s no way for ives you power that I don&039;t have It&039;s not a friendship anyed things You can see a s that can paralyze ainst , "Trust ed with that"
"You&039;re wrong!" she said "Everything has changed You know everything abouther eyes closed, she snapped her mouth shut and looked away The tension in her arer tried to pull out of his grip There was so his hands on her that she liked She could feel his strength, his desire to protect her, but Kahli couldn&039;t get past the link A one-sided extension of trust wasn&039;t a friendship She would have never told his she knew he could see Her heart constricted like a hand was squeezing it in her chest
"What do you want " Will looked at her set control over her emotions They pounded into him He kne much she wanted to run away from him He could feel it
"Prove it"
