Lily of the Springs (49 page)

"What is it, Dev?" Pearse cradled him, bewildered tears in his blue eyes. His image wavered, growing close and then fading away.

Devin felt the curtain of darkness around him. No. He wouldn't give in. Not until he had the chance to make Pearse understand. Despite the pain that sliced through to his very fingertips, he struggled up onto his elbow so his weakened voice could be heard. "Pearse, I don't care if I burn in hell," he whispered. "I'm going to make those bastards pay for what they did to Glen!"
