Beyond My Knowing, chapter 33

Anara closed her eyes and tried to center her thoughts, to not think and feel what her sister and nephew were thinking and feeling. It was harder than it had been, even though the outside thoughts weren’t as strong a press against her as they had been before. Kes, Anara realized… Kes had been protecting her from this. How could she still be hearing their thoughts and feelings though? Kes… Had Kes given her some of the power she had, or was their connection still that strong even though her wife was so deeply unconscious? She didn’t know. Couldn’t know. She squeezed her eyes shut and forced herself to stop, just to stop thinking about what and why and her sister or her nephew. Just Kes. She had to think about just Kes.
She breathed in and out, once, twice, three times, then opened her eyes and saw Miteza looking at her. The question was obvious, even though her sister didn’t speak. Why had she just killed this man? Anara groaned once more at having gotten caught up in her sister’s mind again. She couldn’t waste time. She sent Miteza the answer, sent Artem the answer too, as she got back down on the floor and cradled Kes to her, starting to rock a little without entirely meaning to. She felt such a yawning absence in her mind. Kes was there, but she wasn’t. There was no pain, no true absence, yet things weren’t right at all. She wasn’t right, and neither was Kes. It wasn’t right for them to be apart like this, for Kes’s thoughts and feelings to be so removed from her, to be so… out of reach. She felt somehow claustrophobic, closed in… A part of her wanted to push her mind back into Kes’s mind, by force if she had to, but at the same time the idea was abhorrent to her, utterly impossible. She couldn’t hurt Kes, it would destroy her to do that. It was impossible, as frustrating as it had been to have her eyesight become more and more blurred and indistinct by the day. She’d thought she’d never have to feel that way again after what Kes had done for her, but she was feeling it now. She was helpless… again.
