Lexx had to get away from Chel and Maenae before they fully realized how upset he was. He didn’t want them to see him like this. It was not a way he wanted anyone to see him in. He couldn’t breathe. ‘I’m nervous. Everything was going good.’ He mulled over the possibilities, speculating on why they would want to speak with him privately. ‘Now it’s like someone is dragging me around with a rusty chain around my heart and lungs. I can barely breathe and I’m worried. What do they want? Did I break a rule? Are they going to penalize me,… take me out of the game?’
His heart pounded anxiously. ‘Are they going to,… make me start over? What did I do? Are they going to take them all away from me? I didn’t do anything wrong. I am sure I have not. I am so careful to follow the rules.’
It was too much. Lexx was starting to feel faint from thinking too much on it. ‘I don’t think I could do this all,… again.’
