Chapter Ten

Monroe moved silently around the stones as she stepped closer to me. I pushed my hands into my hoodie, realizing for the first time that I was freezing. Reality was coming back to me, and all at once it felt like those moments alone with Silas were nothing more than a dream. The desire to help Monroe and Madison find their place, to save the dammed, and most of all protect Draven from this world of dreams – all of it became my focus, and with that focus a newfound hatred and vow for revenge surfaced as Bianca’s memory came to me.

Monroe sat down next to me and looped her arm through mine.

“How did you find me?” I whispered weakly. She remained silent. “Sorry I didn’t come back for you like I promised…I was distracted.”

“By Silas?” she asked in her innocent voice.

I glanced to my side, surprised, that I managed to get her to speak once again. “Yeah.”

She nodded as if she knew that.

“How do you know him?” I asked. The fact that she had seen him – that he knew her name – forced me to conceive the idea that he was real, that everything about him was real - and that terrified me. I felt so guilty for being alone with him, for witnessing those memories, for feeling his gentle lips against mine.

“He saved me,” Monroe whispered.

“From what?” I asked tenderly.

She looked down as her hair hid her innocent face from me. “From my dad…from the darkness.”

I felt an ache in my chest, and it took all I had to look strong and calm. “Is your dad alive…?”

Her head moved slowly from side to side, and I felt the air leave my lungs. What was she saying – that Silas killed him? Killed him because he was dark?

“I’m sorry,” I mumbled, trying to fight the nausea that was climbing up my throat. I knew I had just spent the afternoon with someone who apparently not only had reason, but the power to place a final division between me and Draven.

“Why?” she asked, looking up at me.

“There had to be another way – ending someone is not the way.”

“He – he was never alive…he never stepped into this realm.”

“What?” I asked. As I felt my heart began to race, I gripped her arm tighter.

“He lives in the dream world…Silas brought my mother to this reality – to this realm of life...my father will not come here…he will not give up his power to find us.”

“Where is your mom?” I asked as I tried to fathom what she was saying.

“With him.”

“In the dream world?” I clarified.

“Yeah.”

“Against her will?” I asked, feeling a desire like no other to go to this place.

“No…she went there to tell him to leave Grayson and Winston alone…but when she saw him, she couldn’t help herself…she could not leave his side – she loved him too much.”

“What was he doing to your brothers? What do you mean, ‘calling them’?”

“My mother is not as balanced as
