I nearly fell, climbing down from my bunk the next morning, so groggy from the distressing nightmares I’d had the night before. The vision of the prison guard turning into a huge black dog with red eyes was slow to fade. It had seemed so real. The heavy panting on my face, my back pressed into the chair in that tiny room as if the feeble plastic could save me. The other seat had disintegrated the moment Cole … morphed into a beast with teeth sharper and larger than the razorblades topping the fence in the yard. His furry bulk had filled the room, pressing my chair, and me, into the wall. The table careened out from between us, pushed aside by the canine’s sheer enormity.

One minute, he’d been closing the door with a sigh because I’d made some snarky comment about him getting me alone. Next thing I knew, he’d said, “Pay attention, cupcake. I’m only going to do this once.” Then, he’d turned around, stared at me with eyes suddenly a bright scarlet hue and …. just… shifted. Those ruby eyes then sat above a muzzle pulled back in a snarl, emitting a menacing growl that vibrated my chest as droplets of saliva escaped his terrifying jaws.

I’d passed out then. When I’d woken just now, I’d been staring at my ceiling.

Why couldn’t I have had some hot and heavy dreams about Seke in the lawyer room? Instead, my mind tormented me with fantastical manifestations that threatened mutilation if not death. I didn’t think I’d screamed this time. There was no silencing pillow on my face, and no one had actually died, that I knew of, at least. But it was probably another one for the doc’s notepad.

Stumbling over to the sink to splash water on my face, I screeched to a stop and blinked once… twice. I rubbed my eyes. I must have been crazy because… there was a pillow. In the toilet.

Just like in my nightmare…

Whirling, I stared at my roomie’s bed, hoping I might be hallucinating. But there was no pillow on the thin mattress. In fact, there was no roomie. I frowned, looking toward the bars, which were solidly closed, the lights not yet illuminated to alert the inhabitants in the windowless ward that it was wake-up-and-eat time.

“Ouch.” The pinch to my forearm hurt and sent a wave of terror flooding my body. I wavered on the spot, reaching out for balance, my palm landing on the soft plush of the pillow.

If that was real… I’d been drugged. He’d taken me alone to a room, and Raven had been in on it. Except, she’d told him it was a mistake. Where was she?

“Raven?” dumb. As if she’d just materialize when I called her—

“You find out about Cole then?”

I screamed and spun. She was leaning against the bars, which were notably closed and had not given audible indication of opening and shutting to permit her entrance. Raising a brow, I panted and slowly lowered my palm from my chest.
