LILY POV
My body started shaking for no reason.
I was floating in the strange energy that protected me from Elena's strikes, feeling empty and confused about everything around me. My mind felt like a puzzle with most of the pieces missing. I couldn't remember who these people were or why they kept calling my name with such worried voices.
But when the dark-haired man stepped closer to me, something weird happened.
My heart started beating faster, even though I didn't know why. My skin felt warm where he looked at me. Most strange of all, my hands wanted to reach for him, like they remembered something my brain had forgotten.
"Stay back," I told him, scared of these feelings I couldn't understand. "I don't know you."
"Yes, you do," he said softly. His voice made something deep in my chest flutter. "Your body remembers me, even if your mind doesn't."
