Chapter 8

“Alana, can you hear me?” my grandpa Lucas calls out through the darkness. “Please say you can hear me. I need to talk to you … God, I need this to work.”

I can hear you, I think to myself. But where are you?

“Alana!” he calls out, his voice echoing around me. “Please, answer me.”

I’m right here! Grr… I internally growl at myself in frustration. I can’t seem to say anything aloud, no matter how hard I try. Where the hell am I? I can’t see a damn thing, can’t feel my legs, my arms, my mouth … Maybe that’s the problem.

“I thought this would work,” he mutters. “I don’t understand.”

Taking a deep breath, I slide my feet forward, forcing myself to walk blindly into the darkness. “Grandpa …” I force my voice out. “I’m … right … here.”

“Oh, thank God,” he says in relief.

I hear the soft pitter-patter of footsteps heading toward me. I don’t see him when he reaches me, but I feel his presence nearby.

“I’m glad I was able to meet you here,” he says, sounding much closer now.

“Where exactly is here?”

“In one of your dreams.”

“You’re in my dream?” My surprise swiftly wears off as I remember my grandpa is a Foreseer. “Is this a new Foreseer thing, being able to enter people’s dreams?”

“We’re technically not supposed to,” he admits. “But I needed to take the risk.”

“Why?”

“Because I need to tell you something important.”

“You know, texts work great for that, too, and it’s way less creepy.”

“I couldn’t text you this … I can’t have any sort of trail that’ll lead to what I’m about to tell you,” he says in that ominous tone again. “If anyone finds out …” He trails off.

“Grandpa, you’re scaring me,” I admit. “Before I left, you were acting so strange, and then you show up here … Please tell me what’s going on.”

“You’re in danger,” he whispers, his voice sounding farther away. “Oh no … I need … more time …”

“Why am I in danger?” When he doesn’t respond, I cry out, “Grandpa, you’re scaring me. Please, just tell me why you think I’m in danger.”

“Because … they’re …” His voice fades in and out. “Coming … after you … I’m … sorry.”

“Grandpa!” I shout, my voice echoing around me as I run forward into the darkness. “Please tell me who they are.”

As the stillness sets in, I begin to panic. Minutes, maybe hours tick by, and I start to fear being trapped here forever when I feel myself slipping back to reality. Right as I’m about to wake up, I feel something cold pressed into my palm, and a single word whispers through my thoughts.
