“What?” Sonia frowned and turned to see where the voice was coming from, but before she could get a proper look at the commotion, her body was suddenly pulled into a rough embrace.
Toby had his arms wound tightly around her as he spun her toward the other side before a second later, the sound of glass breaking came from the space where Sonia had been standing earlier. It was then followed by an intense sizzling that mimicked the low buzz of an electric current.
At that moment, he let out a low grunt.
Upon hearing the pain in his voice, she looked up at him. As she was alarmed by the large beads of cold sweat on his forehead and his pallor, she urged, “What is it? Are you okay?”
He released his grip on her without answering her and clamped his left hand over his right wrist by his side, which trembled slightly.
Her gaze fell on his right hand before her breath hitched as she stammered, “Y-Your hand—”
“My hand’s fine. What about you? Are you okay?” He looked up at her, his face pale as he appraised her anxiously and she could tell that the fear in his eyes were genuine.
She opened and closed her mouth, unable to describe her complicated emotions into words. Is he an idiot? His own hand is injured, but all he cares about is whether I’m okay!
Toby stiffened at her lack of response. “Are you hurt?”
Sonia shook her head. “No.”
He held his gaze on her for a few more beats; it was only after he was certain she was telling the truth that he let out a small sigh of relief. As he flashed her a feeble smile, he assured, “That’s good.”
“Good? What the hell are you talking about?” She bit on her lip as she glowered at him. “Look at your hand!”
“It’s nothing,” he insisted.
Sonia pointed at his hand as an incredulous, humorless laugh escaped her. “Oh, it’s nothing?”
There was an open wound the size of a date on the back of his right hand. The skin looked like it had been peeled off from the mess that was blood and flesh; and the edges of the wound were erratic and burnt black—the result of a harsh corrosion.
