THAD Leaving that town was the hardest thing that I ever had to do in my entire life. I felt like I was abandoning her, but I knew that it was imperative that I returned home now that they had been able to establish a connection with my girl. Now, they would have a Witch to protect her while another was protecting her inside the Dreamworld. That reassured me and helped with the storm of emotions swirling around inside of me. The best highlight I had of that night was when I watched her take Little Bitch down after he called her Scar Tissue. That name had me seeing red, but what hurt the most was that she thought about how she saw herself. When I had her back, I would ensure that she understood how gorgeous she truly was. Nothing could ever mar that. It was absolutely impossible. The only solace that I had was that she was still strong after five months. She was still fighting. Her emotions were spiraling, but I would continue being with her through the tether as much as I could. She

JADELYNN It had been a month since Camden started meeting up with me here. He helped me learn to manipulate things very quickly. It was easy to use explosive anger, but it was harder to use focused intention. I needed to be able to do both, so he was patiently helping me. It was effortless to manipulate small things such as clothing. That was nice because I was tired of always being stuck in whatever ridiculous dress I was forced to wear. It helped me feel a little more normal. Well, as normal as could be expected with being stuck here. Camden had also begun testing my focus so that loss of concentration did not result in altered manipulation. How did he decide to test this? During a clothing manipulation, he screamed ‘crazy cat sweater’ at the top of his lungs. Next thing I knew, I was wearing a damn crazy cat sweater. To get him back, I tested a theory of mine. He was in my dreamscape which meant I could manipulate his clothing as well. He ended up in a pink tutu and tiara. The be

CAMDEN Jadelynn and I held hands while we walked through the area that she dubbed The Gate of Desires. Her hand was very soft and warm in mine and brought a smile to my face as I looked at our hands entwined. Yesterday, she had been worried that she was hurting me with her words. It did sober me up hearing how much Golden Boy and her had been through in their history together. It made me worry that we would never have anything in comparison to that. But then she surprised me with expressing how she felt about me. We both cared about each other. She felt it was selfish to ask that we continued like we had been, but I would do anything for her. I admired her for caring enough about Golden Boy to refuse breaking his trust. Jadelynn had true character, and not everyone had that anymore. She was genuine, and I loved that about her. “Douchewad asked me about the wound I got yesterday. He believes that the world is trying to keep me away from whatever he is seeking which means that I’m clo

CAMDEN Dominique called a meeting and had us contact Dent. We were not entirely certain what was going on right then. The urgency in her voice chilled me. Vanosti had been excited with her progress, but something must have happened for Dominique to need everyone. “Long story short. Jadelynn is in a magically-induced coma. She is safe, but we need to extract her tonight. Vanosti let slip that he was bringing someone else in because she was showing progress and found something he believed was what he needed. He was going to have both of us work together. I lifted the fog that eclipsed you and everything she learned about herself. I told her to antagonize him and that I needed him to blast her with his magic. That was the only way for me to put her in the coma. I also ensured that my contact reached out to him to inform him that the power he seeks will be checking into a hotel two towns over tonight. The hotel room is already booked, so Vanosti will be waiting in that room for his arriv

JADELYNN It was great to spend time with Camden in the real world instead of in a sadistic world that thrived off torturing me. Everyone was really easy to be around. Camden shared many stories about all of them over the months that we were together, but it was even better getting to know them personally. They were all great people, and I owed them more than I could ever express. This was what they always did because it was their job. However, I did not see it that way and never would. They went above and beyond for me, and I would always be appreciative of everything they did. They saved me, and that was something I could never repay. The medic gave me special herbs to block me from entering the Dreamworld for which I was very thankful because I definitely needed a break from there. Eleven months of that place felt like a lifetime and a half. Camden only left my side once during the day when Dent needed to talk to him about something. He had been hesitant to go, but I told him tha
