LEOWe had just put Ivan and Javier to sleep in Mia’s mind and it was just Bastien and I left behind. I shot him a look and his worried gaze was fixed on Javier and Ivan as they lay helplessly in the circle. I looked at Javier too. I didn't like the fact that he was in a situation like this but it was what it was, nothing we could do about it but move forward.“Any ideas yet on how to put Rylee to sleep?” I asked Bastien.“If we could get our hands on a tranquilizer gun, and load it with wolfsbane, we would be able to take a shot at Rylee from a distance, I bet she won’t see that one coming.”“Okay, Bastien, tell me, where do we get a tranquilizer gun? Where do we get Wolfsbane? Your plan might sound like a good idea but it relies on us getting things that are not readily available and while we go searching for these things, Javier remains in danger.” Bastien shot me a look, “Don’t pretend that you care about Javier and also, I don’t see you coming up with any solid ideas of your ow

MIAI was so exhausted from all that had happened when the car pulled into the garage and Bastien killed the engine.We all alighted and headed back into the penthouse. In the living room, I flopped down on a sofa, breathing heavily."You okay, Mia?" Ivan asked, a worried look on his face.I smiled weakly, "I'm good, Ivan. Just need to catch my breath for a minute."He nodded, seemingly satisfied by my answer, he went to the mini bar and poured himself a drink and every one of us sat down, the atmosphere in the room was grim.I took a deep breath, "We should start making preparations to go to the Elder forest," I said.I felt like I had rested enough, at least for now. There was no time to waste sitting around, my mom needed saving.Everyone else kept mute, did they not just hear what I said, "Guys... What's the problem, we should start getting ready to storm the elder's forest and free my mom.""Mia..." Ivan called me then shook his head sideways, "It's not as easy as that.""What do

MIAI was back to the dream world, I could tell by now, that the mist in the air and the eerie feeling I got were dead giveaways.‘What is it this time around, Lynn?’ I asked.‘You are going to reach out to me and pretend like everything between us is okay? That’s how you want to play this?’ Lynn questioned me.‘What do you mean? Is this about what happened earlier?’‘Of course, it is about what happened earlier. How long are you going to keep ignoring the sound advice of me and your mates and keep making foolish decisions?’Lynn fired back at me.‘Whoa, calm down, Lynn, I won’t go as far as saying it was a foolish decision… more like a spur-of-the-moment decision and I already apologized to Javier and Ivan, it won’t happen again.’‘First of all, it was a foolish decision. Don’t decorate it with any fancy words and secondly, you didn’t apologize to your mates, just as you haven’t apologized to me. You just muttered some weak excuse and broke down crying and then had them apologize to y

MIAI looked into this strange man's eyes and it felt like there was nothing there. They usually said that the eyes were the window to the soul, well, if that's the case, whoever this was, he was soulless. I backed away from him and scurried off the sofa, my hands were up in a defensive position and my heart was beating heavily."Who are you and what have you done to Javier and Ivan?" I asked him, my eyes darting from his face to the unconscious bodies of my mates. How did this guy get in here and manage to overpower both Javier and Ivan, that was just not possible, was it?He slid back the hood of his cloak in a dramatic fashion to reveal his face fully, "Hello, Mia, nice to meet you again, I'm Killian."Killian? He said that like it was supposed to mean something to me."I don't know who the hell you are. What are you doing here and what did you do to Javier and Ivan?"He looked at Javier and Ivan who were sprawled on the ground, out cold. He seemed to be admiring his handiwork, t

MIA“What?” I muttered, my jaw dropping in shock. What the hell was Leo saying now? This made no sense.“What? That’s not possible, how is that possible?”“I have no idea,” Leo replied, still breathing hard, “All I know is that, when we got there, she wasn’t there.”“Could it be that you guys just went to the wrong location?” I asked.“Was it not the same location that both you and Rylee saw in her mind?” Leo asked back.“Yes, it was,” I replied,“Then, there goes your answer. There was no one there.”What Leo was saying did not make any sense to me, there was no way that he, Olivia, and Rylee went to the location I saw in Rylee’s mind and were unable to find my mom. Something was amiss; I just could not accept this, given the fact that I had seen that same location when I just had my vision. In my vision, my mother reached out to me and asked me for help in rescuing her. There was no doubt in my mind that she was still stuck there in the Elder forest. As to why Leo and his group cou
