Chapter 17

Be Strong

“No Sevie!” I screamed, but I wasn’t sure my words actually came out. Was I still in my body? And, if I was, could I even control it anymore?

Sevie’s powers never worked like this. They were always very passive, and only effected people who were already asleep. This sort of thing, pulling me out of my body and throwing me to Fate knows where was something else altogether. And it just might have proved disastrous.

The world disappeared around me. The air pulled from my lungs. And when I stopped spinning, everything was dark. We had done this before, Sevie and I. When we were kids, he used to sneak into my head and pull me into his dreams. At first, it was because he was afraid of the dark and he didn’t want to be alone, not even while sleeping. But soon, it became the best part of the day. Sevie would throw me into some strange dreaming mindscape, and we’d the off. The brothers Lightfoot having secret adventures and all that. It was a little cliché but, as a kid who thought he was going to die young, it was also a way of escaping, of living a life I figured was going to be taken away from me. And for Sevie, I think it might have been a way to squeeze every last drop of time from the rbother he knew he was going to lose.

This though, this was nothing like that.

I heard footsteps in the distance and pretty pronounced dripping sound at first. My eyes were still blurry, still coming to terms with whatever was around me. I coughed loudly, relieved to be able to breathe again. But through what?

My body wasn’t here. Wherever here was.

No, I had seen people dreamwalk before, and their bodies always stayed put. Which meant that I was, at this moment, lying on my back in the middle of the Meditation Grotto; somewhere I wasn’t supposed to be in the first place, with someone who might not even be my brother anymore staring down at my defenseless body.

And where was the rest of me; my mind, my spirit, my soul? Whatever piece of me this was. Where had I gone?

The footsteps grew louder and, in the distance, I saw a faint blue glow. A pair rounded the corner; two women, one of whom was holding some sort of electric lantern.

I moved forward, my feet splashing against puddles on the floor of what I was now pretty sure was either a sewer or a cave. As the light grew closer, I saw the tunnel I stood in was laden with bricks and the floor was concrete…and covered in disgusting brown water.

Yeah, definitely a sewer.

I didn’t speak. I knew better than that. These people could be anyone, and if I went around shouting for Cresta in a sewer, then who knew what sort of tips I’d be inadvertently giving them. I did rush toward them though. There was no use in hiding in this state.
