HUNTER

I want to pull her to me, wrap my arms around her, and kiss her hair. I’m starting to despise the HPA. I’m ashamed that my mom is on the board and is okay with all this. I’m livid just thinking about the agency. How they caused so much pain and did something so horrible to Nadia and her family. It isn’t right.

“I promise you that if I get out of here, I will do everything I can to change things. It shouldn’t be like this.”

She stands on her tiptoes and kisses my cheek. I press the spot where her lips were before sliding my arms around her shoulders. She leans into me and rests her forehead to my chest and I just hold her and breathe in the flowery scent of her hair.

Thunder booms over the ocean and the wind picks up, gusting around us. The dream is shifting and growing darker and I know Nadia will have to leave soon. It’s a cruel fate that we can’t stay like this forever. I want to do everything I can to protect her, but I can’t even get myself out of this mess.

She tugs at a few strands of her hair. “You’ve done something to me, Hunter. I should be afraid of you, but I’m not.”

I smile. “I’m glad. I was nervous that you’d never come back. I need you to see that I’m different. Meeting you has changed me.”

She pulls away and peers over the ledge of the cliff. “I’ll always come back. I just wish I didn’t have to go.”

I move closer. “Then stay.”

She stretches up and kisses my cheek again. “I can’t. It’ll be too much on Jacqueline. I can feel the nightmares starting to affect her.”

I want to tell her they are, but I don’t. Jacqueline deserves this for imprisoning me here. I can’t feel bad for her.

A scream rips through the quiet air and I glance over the edge at the soft, tan sand below. Jacqueline runs on the beach, wearing a flowing, purple cotton dress, and two people in biohazard suits chase after her.

She trips and screams again as she gets back to her feet. “Leave me alone! I haven’t done anything!”

“We don’t want to hurt you!” A deep voice echoes over the waves.

Nadia stiffens next to me.

I reach for her hand. “This is a strange dream.”

She plays with her hair with her free hand. “My presence alone is enough to disturb dreamers without doing anything. The longer I stay, the more intense it’ll be for Jacqueline. It’s why I try to get in and out quickly.”

I watch Jacqueline’s nightmare unfold. She’s slowing down as the sand gets softer under her feet until she’s knee deep in it. Her cry is loud enough to get under my skin. It’s hard to watch her struggle to escape the two people, but I can’t save her from herself.

“Please, get away from me. Please. I don’t want your help.”

The two people swoop in, unfazed by the sand, and one of them grabs Jacqueline by her dark brown, curly hair.
