Chapter Nineteen

There’s no running from your destiny, no matter how hard you try. I’ve learned that the hard way, and I’m still learning it. It’s a lesson that won’t stick. I let things like a normal life and the idea of a glamorous wedding get in the way, but maybe those things aren’t me.

Maybe I need to accept that.

I’d love nothing more than that life, but right now, I have to deal with the life I have. For now, I sit with my legs crossed on my bed and gaze out past the glass of my cage. The lights soften with a warm glow suitable for sleeping. Inside my cage, there’s only one book. A journal, but most of the pages are blank.

I’m surprised when I flip through the lined pages and find a few notes in the middle of the book.

Mom’s memory is wiped again.

Jax has no memory of her or you. Must be from another timeline.

Donovan is dead. My heart is broken.

Trust Rick. He only remembers you as his girlfriend. He doesn’t remember the betrayal. He doesn’t know how much you miss him.

How much I miss him. My heart pangs with grief for the Lara who wrote these notes. Why was she even trying to piece it together, trying to figure out what timeline everyone was from? Just to escape? Was escape even possible?

I flip to the back of the book and the last note stills my heart.

Where is Molly? What is Cameron doing to Molly?

“Molly?” I whisper her name aloud. She’s here?

“She’s not here.”

I glance up at the sound of Rick’s voice. He’s standing in his cell next to mine. I hurry over toward the plane of glass that separates us. “Where is she?”

Rick shakes his head. “No one knows for sure. We see her sometimes, but…Cameron’s experimenting on her. Thinks…says her brain waves are different. Way different. He won’t let you see her for long. We don’t think she’s doing well. Whatever he’s doing to her, well, it isn’t good.”

Cameron wouldn’t get away with this. He could hurt just about anyone, but Molly? She was just a kid.

“How old is she now?”

Rick startles as if the question is strange. “Ten.”

Ten. Still so young…

“I can tell from how you look at me you’re not her. I mean, you are, but you’re not my Lara. You’re one of the Laras with him. Donovan.” Rick sighs. “The rich boy.”

One of the Lara’s. How many different versions of me had he met?

“When did you jump in? How long have you been here?” Rick asks.

“Dinner time,” I admit sadly and I watch Rick’s face fall. “Where is here? Where are we?”

“Nowhere. That’s what Cameron calls it, he says it’s nowhere. I don’t know what he means by that.” Rick rubs the back of his neck and grimaces, as if it hurts.

“I’m going to find a way out for all of us. Find a way to send you back. So you can be…you can be with your Lara.” It hurts to say the words.
