My eyes stream from the smoke, I’m coughing uncontrollably, and the heat is so intense I feel like I’m roasting from the inside out. But somehow, Janine’s still getting colder. Her lips are blue and her hands are icy. Life is draining right out of her. “Come on, Janine,” I say through gritted teeth. “Come on, come on.” I might be able to heal, but I haven’t conquered death. My power can fail, and I keep forgetting that. And right now, it’s not working, and Janine’s not waking up. It’s just like with Sasha. “No!” The scream rips through me with the thought. I can’t go through that again. Not with her. Men are screaming all around me, running for their lives. We’re still in range of a few archers, though, and for a moment, I want their arrows to hit me. I want to feel the pain, to curl up next to Janine and go to sleep with her forever so I don’t have to deal with this loss.
