“What… was that?” I whispered to myself, gripping the sink. “Get it together, Maya.”

A soft knock followed.

Sometimes, dreams are not dreams at all but glimpses into truth.” I swallowed hard. “Then it was real. My mom… she’s still alive. I saw her, Elena. She was chained, in an old cabin. She said they’re keeping her somewhere west of the mountains.” Elena’s expression darkened,
