Chapter Fifteen

Dreams were a strange thing for me. Mostly because they always seemed so real, and I knew from experience, just because it was a dream didn’t mean it couldn’t be real.

I opened my eyes as if I were waking and found myself sitting on my bed in my room, all the way back in the farmhouse that I’d lived in with my mentor. With my family. I ran my fingers over the quilt, feeling the stitches and squares of different material as familiar to me as the clothes I wore.

A shout caught my ear and I stood hurrying to the window. Below me, Rylee and Alex walked toward the barn, Alex in his human form, his dark head bowed to Rylee’s flaming auburn locks.

I put my hands to my mouth, then shoved the window open and leaned out, wondering if they would hear me if I shouted.

“Rylee,” Alex’s voice reached me as if I stood next to them. “I think she’s lost.”

She put an arm around his waist. “I can’t Track her. But that doesn’t mean you won’t find her.”

It was everything I needed and wanted, my whole heart wrapped into a single image.

I just couldn’t decide if it was actually happening, or just all my hopes expressing themselves in a dream.

A knock on my door turned me away from the window.

Of all the people I’d have expected to see in a dream, he was one of the last. Why couldn’t it have been Rylee? Or Liam?

Faris’s blue eyes twinkled as he stepped over the threshold of the door. “Well, little witch. You’ve got yourself all tangled up this time, don’t you?”

“Faris, what are you doing here?” I asked. “I mean, really, why you?”

He laughed at me, flashing his bright white fangs. He’d been a vampire in life, and I’d had a few dealings with him. More often than not, he’d caused us all problems, at least until he’d fallen for Rylee. Then his heart had made him give the ultimate sacrifice to save her.

But that’s a whole other story. A rollercoaster of a story if you ask me.

He ran his hand over the top of a dresser as if looking for dust before he glanced over his shoulder at me.

“Rylee is worried about you, and that means I wanted to check in on you for her.”

“Do . . . you talk to her still?” I asked.

His smile softened. “Only in her dreams. Besides, I think a better question is what are you doing here?”

I lifted both hands, palms up. “Faris, I’m asleep. I didn’t choose this.”

“Didn’t you? Are you sure about that?” He tipped his head to one side, those blue eyes watching me intently.

The question I asked before I fell asleep . . . about the storm. “Well, shit, I didn’t think you’d be the one to answer a wildly thrown out question like that. And seriously, of all the people who could have answered, why you?”

He grinned. “Everyone is busy fighting to survive, Pam. Only the dead will answer you now.
