Elena couldn't take her eyes off the woman standing in the flames.

Her grandmother.

Alive.

Impossible.

For several seconds, nobody moved.

The woman simply stood there, watching Elena as if she had been waiting for this exact moment for years.

“Come home,” she said again.

Elena's lips parted.

“You're dead.”

The woman smiled faintly.

“That is what they wanted you to believe.”

Elena felt Adrian's hand close around hers.

He leaned closer.

“Don't go near her.”

Elena barely heard him.

Her mind was sp

    The darkness lasted only a few seconds.To Elena, it felt like hours.She stood completely still, unable to see Adrian, Aria, or the Keeper. Her hands trembled as she reached forward.“Adrian?”No answer.“Aria?”Still nothing.Panic tightened around her chest.“Adrian!”A hand suddenly grabbed hers.“I’m here.”She nearly collapsed with relief.“You scared me.”“I was right beside you.”“I couldn't see you.”“I know.”His fingers tightened around hers.“I'm not letting go.”Elena took a shaky breath.“Good.”A faint golden light appeared across the room.The Keeper was standing beside an old stone table.The little girl was behind him, staring nervously at the doorway.Aria walked toward Elena.“Are you okay?”Elena nodded.“I think so.”“You collapsed.”“I did?”“For a few seconds.”Elena looked at the Keeper.“What happened?”“You remembered.”“Remembered what?”“Yourself.”Elena frowned.“I don't understand.”The keeper pointed toward the center of the room.“Come.”Elena followed

    The door slammed shut.Nobody moved.For several seconds, Elena could hear nothing except the sound of her own breathing.The little girl stood beside her, staring at the closed gate.Adrian was still holding Elena's hand.Aria stood on her other side.“What was that?” Adrian finally asked.Elena swallowed.“I don't know.”The girl shook her head.“I do.”Everyone turned toward her.Elena crouched in front of her.“Then tell us.”The girl looked frightened.“It wasn't one of the First Ones.”Aria frowned.“Then who was it?”The girl looked at Elena.“It was something that came through before the gate closed.”A chill ran through Elena.“You mean it crossed over?”The girl nodded.“Yes.”Adrian's expression hardened.“Where is it?”“I don't know.”“That isn't good enough.”The girl flinched.Elena immediately touched Adrian's arm.“She's scared.”“I know.”His voice softened.“I'm sorry.”The girl looked at him for a moment before speaking.“It isn't here.”Elena sighed with relief.“T

    Elena stared at the thousands of silver eyes opening behind the little girl.Her body went completely still.For one terrifying second, she forgot how to breathe.The girl was still holding her hand.But her innocent expression was gone.Her eyes had changed.They were no longer dark.They were glowing silver.“Elena,” Adrian whispered.She looked at him.“I see them.”Aria stepped closer.“What are those things?”“I don't know.”The Witness answered inside Elena's mind.They are the gatekeepers.Elena swallowed.“Gatekeepers?”They guard what lies beyond the final gate.Aria looked toward the silver eyes.“Are they on our side?”The witness was silent.That silence frightened Elena more than anything else.“Answer me.”No.The little girl suddenly smiled.Elena's blood ran cold.“Who are you?”The girl tilted her head.“I told you.”“I don't remember.”“I don't remember either.”“Then why do you have their eyes?”The girl's smile disappeared.“Because they are looking through me.”El

    Elena couldn't breathe.The darkness had swallowed everything.There was no city.No tower.No sky.No ground beneath her feet.Only darkness.And somewhere inside it, Adrian was calling her name.“Elena!”She turned toward his voice.“Adrian!”Nothing.She reached out, but her fingers touched nothing.“Aria?”Silence.Her heart began pounding.They had been together only seconds ago.Then the Shadow had rushed toward them.And now she was alone.Exactly as planned.Elena froze.The voice wasn't the witness.It was the Shadow.“You separated us.”No.The voice sounded amused.You separated yourself.Elena frowned.“What are you talking about?”You opened the door.She looked around.“I did that to stop you.”You did it because you were afraid.“I wasn't afraid.”The darkness laughed.You were terrified.Elena clenched her fists.“I won't let you control me.”You already gave me access.The black mark on her hand burned.Elena looked down.The dark line had spread across her palm.“No.

    The sky split open.Elena stood frozen beneath the broken silver light, staring at the enormous black crack above the city.Something was coming through.She couldn't see its entire body yet, but she could feel its presence.Cold.Heavy.Wrong.Adrian moved closer to her.“Elena, get back.”She barely heard him.Her eyes remained fixed on the sky.“It's here.”Aria stepped beside them.“No.”Elena looked at her.“You said it couldn't enter our world.”“I said it shouldn't have been able to.”“That isn't the same thing.”“I know.”A deep vibration rolled across the city.Windows rattled.Cars shook.People ran into the streets, pointing toward the sky.Then a shadow appeared behind the crack.It was enormous.Far too large to be human.The sunlight disappeared as it moved.Elena's mother grabbed her arm.“We need to leave.”“Where?”“Anywhere away from the city.”“Mom, if we run, it follows us.”“I know.”“Then running won't help.”Her mother stared at her.For a moment, Elena saw the
