CHAPTER 37

Cassian

MIYAKA

For twelve years, I had imagined what I would say if my mother ever came back.

Sometimes, in the quiet hours of the night, I had imagined throwing my arms around her.

Sometimes I imagined screaming.

Sometimes I imagined asking the simplest question of all.

Why did you leave me?

I had rehearsed those words so many times that they had become almost meaningless.

But now that she was standing in front of me—

I couldn't say any of them.

My mother looked different.

    CHAPTER 38One of Them LiesMIYAKAThe SUV disappeared around the corner.I kept staring at the empty road long after the sound of its engine faded.The photograph was still in my mother's hands.ONE OF THEM LIES.Three words.Three childhood friends.One lie.My stomach twisted.Jason was the first to speak.“That's not possible.”I looked at him.“Why?”“Because whoever sent that knows exactly what they're doing.”He took the photograph from my mother and studied it.“They want us suspicious of each other.”Moises stood near the window, his expression hard.“Or they're telling us the truth.”The room went silent.I turned toward him.He didn't look at me.Jason frowned.“You think one of us is lying?”“I think someone wants us to believe that.”“That wasn't what I asked.”Moises finally looked at him.“I don't know.”I hated that answer.Not because it was wrong.Because it was honest.And honesty had become terrifying.I looked at the photograph again.Our childhood faces stared ba

Her hair was longer, darker, streaked with silver. There was a small scar near her temple that I had never seen before.But her eyes were the same.I knew those eyes.I had inherited them.And suddenly I was five years old again.Running barefoot through wet grass.Calling for her.Waiting by the window.Believing every car that passed might be hers.“Mama…”Her lips trembled.“Miyaka.”That was all it too

    CHAPTER 36RunMIYAKA“Run!”My mother's voice tore through the darkness.For one impossible second, I forgot how to breathe.It was her.Not a memory.Not a recording.Not a voice distorted by distance and years of grief.Her.“Mama?”The word slipped from my mouth before I could stop it.Then something crashed above us.Daniel grabbed my arm.“Move!”I didn't.I couldn't.Every part of me wanted to run toward her.After twelve years of believing she was dead, after standing beside a grave that apparently belonged to someone else, after spending years wondering why she had left me—she was calling my name.And telling me to run.From what?From whom?Another crash shook the tunnel.Dust drifted from the ceiling.Jason grabbed my shoulder.“Miyaka, we have to go.”“I heard her.”“I know.”“She called me.”“I know.”“She’s here.”Jason looked at Daniel.Daniel's face was grim.“Yes,” he said quietly. “She is.”My heart slammed against my ribs.“Then I'm not leaving.”Daniel's eyes hard

    CHAPTER 35The Boy My Mother Called My Brother“Miyaka?”Moises's voice reached her, but she barely heard it.She was staring at the wooden horse in her hand.The inscription had already been wiped clean by her thumb, but the words remained burned into her mind.ASK YOUR MOTHER ABOUT ELIAS.Her mother.The woman who had appeared in the tunnel.The woman who had looked at Moises like she was afraid of what his return meant.The woman who had told Miyaka she had seen something that night.The woman who had disappeared before Miyaka could ask the questions that had haunted her for years.And now there was this.He's your brother.Miyaka slowly looked up.“Where is my mother?”Nobody answered.“Daniel.”His expression tightened.“I don't know.”“You knew she survived.”“Yes.”“You knew she was in this place.”“I knew she had been here.”“And you never told me.”“I couldn't.”“You couldn't?”Her voice cracked.“Or you wouldn't?”Daniel looked away.Miyaka stepped toward him.“For years, I

    CHAPTER 34EliasThe footsteps continued.One step.Then another.Slow enough to make every sound feel deliberate.Miyaka could hear her own breathing.She was still holding Moises's hand.She hadn't even realized it until his fingers tightened around hers.Jason raised the flashlight.Daniel immediately pushed it down.“Don't.”Jason frowned.“If we can't see—”“They can see us.”The footsteps stopped again.A figure stood somewhere above them.Only a silhouette.Miyaka stared into the darkness.“Elias?”No answer.Her voice sounded smaller than she wanted.“Is that you?”A soft laugh came from the staircase.Not cruel.Not threatening.Almost familiar.And that frightened her more.A child's voice whispered,“You used to call me something else.”Miyaka's stomach twisted.“What?”Silence.Then—“Eli.”Her eyes widened.A memory flashed.A little boy sitting beneath the mango tree.Mud on his knees.A wooden horse in his hands.Miyaka laughing.Eli.She almost stumbled.Moises caught

    CHAPTER 33The Fourth ChildMiyaka stared at the photograph until her eyes began to hurt.She couldn't look away.Four children.Not three.Four.Her.Moises.Jason.And the boy standing beside them.A boy none of them remembered.A boy who had somehow been part of their childhood.A boy who had apparently always been there.Her fingers tightened around the photograph.“No.”The word came out barely above a whisper.Jason moved beside her.“What?”“There were only three of us.”She turned the photograph toward him.“Three.”Jason stared.His face slowly lost its color.“I don't remember him.”“Neither do I.”Moises stepped closer.His eyes stayed fixed on the photograph.Miyaka watched his expression carefully.He wasn't looking at the boy like a stranger.He was looking at him like someone standing at the edge of a memory he couldn't quite reach.“Moises?”He didn't answer.“Do you remember him?”His jaw tightened.“I don't know.”“You don't know?”“I said I don't know.”Something in
