His Request

[Hindrick’s POV]

The world around me faded in and out. I could tell that I was being moved around, but I wasn’t exactly sure where I was being taken. Not that it mattered. The only thing that mattered to me was finding Fallon and making sure she was okay.

Feeling my heart do a somersault, I tried to fight against the heaviness that was weighing my body down.

"Fal…" I rasp, but stop as a coughing fit hits me.

Instantly, I feel pressure against my neck, followed by the feeling of warmth seeping from it into my body.

"Quit being stubborn and let me treat you."

Uncle Ramone’s voice washes over me, stopping all my actions.

I was back in Langley. Did that mean that the others were as well?

Another wave of worry hits me, spurring me to finally manage to pry my eyes open to find Uncle Ramone and Tyson standing over me with looks of relief on their faces.

"Where?" I rasp, wanting to make sure that we are actually back home.

"Langley," Uncle Ramone confirms. "You’re in the palace’s infirmary."
