Stella POVI didn’t wait for the sunlight to calm the tremors in my body.Didn’t wait to breathe normally again.As soon as the scream left my throat and the dream broke in the naked reality, I ran straight to the room of Megan.She was half asleep, a disorderly mass of hair, and a blanket wedded about her legs. However, when she caught a glimpse of my face, my weak hands, my eyes, which were so swollen, she was on her feet immediately.“Stella… what happened? What is it?”I didn’t sit. I didn’t breathe. I just clutched the doorway and blurted, “I remembered something.”Her eyes widened, fully awake now. “What did you remember? Tell me.”So I did.Everything.The wedding dress. Ferguson’s smile. The baby. The warmth. The shift. The blood. And then Claudia, her voice, her hatred, the word she spoke like a curse that sank into my bones to dig my grave.Remember.My voice was tight and dry by the time I had finished, my body making me feel like I had just finished a marathon.
