Lallielle was much more herself as we left that barred room and marched back to the room of horror. Brace still had a firm grip around Olden. I doubted she could outrun anyone here, but he was taking no chances. She’d been partaking of energy for a long time, and I had no idea what the side-effects of that would be.

Nothing was said as Olden pointed toward the far left corner; we just kept moving across. The vacant expressions of the victims haunted me as we continued to pass under them. And then, after many nameless strangers, I finally saw them; Samuel and Francesca were suspended side by side.

“Frannie as well.” Lalllielle gasped. “But when I asked about her, Lucy said she was happy.”

I think what Lucy had actually said was that Frannie was not unhappy, but still I understood Lallielle’s point. This was far from either.

“She doesn’t know what’s happening. They’re living in dream worlds,” Olden said. “The hovering energy keeps all First Worlders from awareness, which is much better than the Walkers’ experience.” She smirked at me. “We can keep them immobile, but they’re fully sentient during the entire procedure. We’ve found nothing to cloud their minds.”

That was interesting since I knew my dream power could do just that.

“I hope you know that you are going to hell.” I bared my teeth at her.

“You can’t hurt me. You promised.” Her eyes widened.

It was a nice change having some of the power. As a child, I’d spent too many years letting this woman push me around.

I laughed. It echoed around the cavernous hall. “No, I didn’t.”

“Well, you still need me to help save these two. The severing of tethers is generally irreversible. All of these First Worlders will die.”

“The girls from the compound didn’t die on Earth,” I said, my brow furrowed.

“It wasn’t the same process. Earthlings are weak. I was simply draining their energy. That was the only way to get anything from them.”

“How do we save them?” Lallielle asked, her tearful face looking up at her son and sister. “I need you to tell me now.”

Olden did not hesitate, opening her mouth immediately. Why was she so free with this information? It was making me nervous.

“You need to sacrifice someone,” she said.

And there was my answer.

“The tethers which have been severed from these two must be replaced with tethers from another First Worlder, and they must volunteer for the sacrifice. There’s no other way to save them.” She sounded so pleased with herself.

I don’t hate many people, but I truly hated her. She’d given Lallielle hope, and then in one moment dashed it away.

“And while you’re mulling that over, I’ve decided to add a little more distress and tell you what powerful entity is the brains behind the release of the Seventine. Why? Well, because there’s nothing you can do to stop them. Their power is beyond anything you could imagine and you don’t stand a chance.”

She smiled. “I love that you will feel helpless, and the
