Chapter 17 

Ava POV 

I woke up again from a nightmare, my body drenched in sweat and panting. Everest wrapped his arms around me and pulled me into him. I felt myself calming down almost instantly. His hands rubbed my back as I buried my face into his chest. 

“What was it about?” His voice was low and deep sounding. 

“My mother. The attack.” I made a small whimper sound. “I couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t save her.” I had tears streaming down my face as images of my mothers lifeless and bloodied body flashed through my mind. I closed my eyes tight wishing those thoughts away. 

“Shhhh. It’s over and it wasn’t your fault.” He rubbed my back and I only nodded against his 

chest. 

We laid in silence for what seemed like hours as he held me tightly to him. He never let go and ran his fingers through my hair every once in a while. When my alarm went off he let me go and slip out of the 

bed. 

I changed into my workout gear, kissed him goodbye and slipped away down the steps. I didn’t feel like chatting and picked up a granola bar and slipped out before Amber could meet me. I walked the long way around to the gym to clear my mind of those ugly thoughts and memories that plagued me. 

I walked into the gym and was the only person there. I decided to go ahead and begin to stretch. Slowly people filled into the gym, some nodding in acknowledging my presence. I threw myself into training and worked as hard as I could, pushing myself to my own limits. 

Once done I walked back with Amber in silence. I assume she could tell I was in a bit of a mood, but 

still she offered silent support. 

“I’ll be down soon. I think we should stop for some coffee.” I smiled over to her. 

“Of course, I’ll meet you in an hour or so.”
