My breath caught in my throat as I watched the pretty black-haired girl who’d just been talking to me fall into a skin-colored puddle at my feet. I was jolted from where I stood as I told myself that it was time to run, but I looked around, and I couldn’t find a way out.

Because there was no way out.

There was no door.

I wasn’t in a house anymore, and everything around me was melting.

Along with the melting walls, the ground was shaking, an earthquake that was making it hard for me to stay upright, and I immediately felt like I was going to throw up. The knot at the pit of my stomach tightened, my mouth dry, and I could hear something from far away, slow, guttural. It was terrifying, especially as it got louder, and closer, and I had a hard time deciding where I was going to go.

I turned around, willing my legs to run, but it was as if I were glued in place. The growl turned into a high-pitched scream and I instinctively went to cover my ears as I tried to look around, trying to find Lucy, Ali, Faye. Anybody.

Not Maya, since she had ceased to exist. She wasn’t just dead. She wasn’t there.

There was nobody there.

And I was starting to think they’d never been there at all.

There was nothing around me; the small ranch house I had walked into after the door had opened had turned into dust, which surrounded me in a weird, zigzagging circle, and I forced myself to look around to see if I could find a way out. It took me a second to process that I could see again, and although the light wasn’t bright, it was no longer pitch black.

I wished there was more time to take in my surroundings, but I knew I couldn’t stay there for too long. My gaze darted along the bumpy stone walls, large tree roots growing through.

And piles of bones. So many fucking bones.

Something—someone—had gotten very unlucky.

The light came from a large opening somewhere in the distance and I was certain, from the angle, that it was up a slope. It seemed like sunlight, thankfully, and unlike everything else surrounding me, I really didn’t think that it was going to melt away. Even with the light, my situation remained extremely precarious. These monsters… they could be anywhere.

Clearly, they could mess with my mind too.

Staying there and thinking about it was certainly not doing anything for me, so I just took off, running as fast as I could as I tried to get nearer and nearer to the sound, which was becoming subdued and more sporadic.

I was sharply aware that I was supposed to find the source. That I had gone down there specifically to confront whatever the fuck this was.

Now that I wasn't entranced by the girls—or these facsimiles of them--I could think about my purpose again.

It was to find Somnus, to get him to stop all this. Maybe I would talk to him, maybe I would kill him.
