The floor trembles and the walls shake, as if the whole hotel is shivering.

I’m crouched on the floor behind a pillar, trying to avoid the debris as it flies across the lobby.

“Jacob, listen to me!” I call out over the sound of rattling picture frames and breaking glass.

He’s curled in on himself in the center of the marble floor, the air around him whipped into a frenzy.

“Stop,” he pleads as water runs from his clothes, dripping onto the marble floor. His hair floats around his face, which is ashen, gray.

“Cassidy!” orders Lara from behind the front desk. “You have to send him on.”

No. I can still save him.

I grip my camera, take a deep breath, and lunge out from the shelter of the pillar, already turning the lens on Jacob. I hit the flash, hoping the burst of light will jar him loose, bring him back to his senses. But the function on the camera jams, and before I can try again, a violent gust snaps the strap and rips the camera from my hands. It slams into the far wall with a sickening crunch. No, no, no.

A gust of wind shoves me backward, and I struggle to stay on my feet.

“Jacob!” I shout as the ceiling cracks and splits, raining down dust.

The hotel shakes around us, as if it’s about to come down.

“Stop,” Jacob says, finally lifting his head. “Stop me.”

And when looks at me, his eyes are glowing, no longer blue but red.
