Helen POV
I felt a weird, tingly sensation as I woke up, like a gentle light. I had never experienced such a warm, familiar presence before. I recognized Scott somehow.
A beat skipped in my chest. Is he the one? I had a gut feeling, but I didn't know how. Scott was here somewhere in this gloomy stronghold.
In a desperate attempt to maintain that sensation, I balled my fists. "Can you feel me too, Scott?" I wished he could hear me as I whispered.
I was startled out of my reverie as a guard walked by my room. I was aware that I couldn't yet show my hope to anyone. It felt like Scott was right there with me, though, thanks to this unexpected link. His voice was practically audible to me.
I continued to reach out with my thoughts throughout the day as I practised under Leoric's careful eye to locate Scott once more. Even though it was slight, it gave me strength and determination. There was still hope since he was here.
