After a long time, Zayn woke up.
He looked around, disoriented, trying to make sense of his surroundings.
It took him a few seconds before he realized he was floating in darkness.
He tried to move, to struggle out of this void, but nothing changed.
In this endless void, he didn't even know whether he was making any movement or not.
'Where am I?' He remembered he was following Xane's command, trying to protect himself from those guys.
Even though it was painful, it worked. He managed to come out without extra serious injuries.
That nightmare should have ended there, but… the scene of Auren's hand touching his chest flashed through his mind.
'My chest.' Even though Zayn could not see in the darkness, he tried to touch his body.
Only then did he realize that in this darkness, there was nothing. 'Did I switch bodies with Xane? Am I inside his head?'
Zayn thought aloud and asked Xane, [Xane, are you there?]
He waited for a couple of seconds but heard no response at all.
