"Kaelos!"
Odessa's terrified scream made me realize that I wasn't dreaming. Celine had stabbed me... On the left side of my chest.
I could feel the cold silver blade reaching dangerously close to my heart, which began pumping slower as the silver began poisoning my system.
Meanwhile, Celine laughed maniacally, taking a few steps back while staring at me coldly.
"If I can't have you, then no one can!" She yelled, at the same moment that Odessa stepped forward.
I was still stumbling backward and wrapped my right hand around the dagger's handle, struggling to pull it out despite the searing pain.
'Dude, calm down with that thing and breathe.' Damon said in my head just then, but I noticed something off that sent a cold shiver down my spine.
I could barely hear Damon anymore. It was as if my connection with him was being tampered with from the inside out.
