#Chapter 241: Drained

Audrey When I woke, I found myself in bed back at the apartment. Edwin was stroking my hair, a worried look etched into his face as he stared down at me. “Oh, good. You’re awake,” he said, his voice soft when my eyes fluttered open. “You had me worried there for a bit.” I groaned softly and tried to push myself up to a seated position, but it was no use. My arms trembled beneath my weight and I flopped back against the pillows. “I feel… drained,” I croaked. Edwin shook his head and lifted a glass of water to my lips. I drank deeply, grateful for the soothing sensation as it poured down my dry throat. “That’s because you are drained,” he replied, a somewhat scolding tone to his voice. “You used up just about every last drop of your Silver Star powers.” He didn’t need to tell me twice for me to realize that he was right. That silvery pool of energy inside of me felt nearly entirely empty now, save for whatever was necessary to keep me breathing.
