I ask. “Minutes,” Eternal says. “The Primordial is waking up.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Wednesday, April 3rd It’s the bed slamming against the wall and the screeching of a woman that wakes me. It’s the fourth time that I’ve been awakened by such commotion. Laying on the floor seems to have put me in even worse shape than sitting did as it’s impossible for me to move without screaming. I lay my head back down on the makeshift pillow I made out of the sheets I found in the closet. The cabin is dark, all I can see is the light glow of a low fire against the wall and, surprisingly, the digital clock. It appears to be 2am. I adjust my position the best I can considering the cramped space and do what I can to sleep. I silently pray to goddess Diana for some sort of break. My entire l

Eli quickly swallowed the chocolate, nearly choking, and gave him a nod. The guy didn’t seem to notice, thank fuck. “You’re to wake at 3:45 AM every morning. We begin with prayer in the Prayer Room at 4. Matins begins at 5. Since you’re a Postulant, you will stand back with the others and observe the monks until 7. Then we’ll recite the Third Hour psalms at 9. After that, we begin obedience.” “Obedience?” Eli asked, voice still thick from sleep—and whatever the hell he’d just dreamed.

The sharp beep of a W******p notification dragged me out of sleep at exactly 6:30 in the morning. I groaned softly and buried my face deeper into my pillow. Absolutely not. Nobody should be awake this early on a Saturday. For almost thirty seconds I debated ignoring the message completely before anxiety slowly crept into my chest again.

Then I woke up. My soul had settled back into my body like water poured into an empty vessel trying to adjust the strange yet familiar shape. Even so, my sense eluded me, it felt like I was still stuck in that place of nothingness. Like I was still dead, still trapped by forces unseen and all powerful. Tap. Tap. The first thing to return was sound. The incredibly loud sound of pacing in fact, the slow and steady pacing of predator on a wet stone surface slowly started to fill the emptiness death have left in its wake.

M​y w‍ater breaks at 3 AM on No⁠vem⁠b‍er 14t⁠h, thirty-eight wee​ks exactly. ‌I wake u⁠p wet and con​fused, then realize what’s ha​ppen‍ing, “Amon said," AM⁠ON. It’s ti⁠me⁠.” He shoots up l⁠ike h​e’s been elec‍trocu‍ted. “​Now‍? Like ri‍ght now?”

“Please… don't leave–” But I was already falling. # # I woke with a start, drenched in cold sweat. The room was still dark, but moonlight streaked through the window like a silent witness. My heart pounded with the echo of her voice still ringing in my bones. I turned to the clock on the nightstand. 3:34 am. I sat up slowly, trying to shake the weight of the dream. My hands trembled slightly. Healing? Blessing? What did it mean? That voice…

God, why does even her smallest reaction affect me like this? “5:30 am is not called 'middle of the night, my dear brother,” Theo corrects pointedly. “It’s early morning. Before sunrise. Something you wouldn’t know about, since you’ve never woken up at that hour in your entire life.” I roll my eyes. “Yeah, well, some of us enjoy sleeping like normal human beings.” Theo ignores the jab and pours himself tea like the disciplined monk he insists on being. He begins by talking about productivity, sunrise energy, circadian rhythms—whatever spiritual nonsense he believes in.

My alarm wakes me up at 6:30 a.m . I stare at the ceiling for a few minutes before I get off the bed almost reluctantly. I get in position on the shaggy carpet and start meditating. Noah starts high school today. I pray to the Goddess as Noah starts school today. May it be the beginning of an amazing academic session, may he excel in all his endeavours. Protect my little wolf cub.

I could see Ian standing where he was from the rearview mirror, looking like a statue that had been abandoned by the world. That night, I had a nightmare. I dreamt of the day my sister passed away. I was kneeling by her stone-cold body while crying my heart out, with Ian and Lucy standing nearby and staring coldly at me. I jerked awake from the dream, drenched in cold sweat.
