VioletI had gotten used to the dream by now, and this was nothing new.The Veil, the darkness, the voices…and then I fell. Only, this time I didn’t wake up. It went further.When the white faded, I found myself standing somewhere new. It was a field covered in soil, the clouds dark and ashy. I scanned my surroundings, but I was all alone.“Mom?” I called out, my voice shaking.“He’s coming, Violet.”My heart stopped. I had called out to Adelaide, but this wasn’t her voice. It was still Mom…my other mom.Claire…But how?“Mom?” I whispered, spinning around. “Where are you?”I was met with nothing. Just the wind brushing against my skin. “Mom, please talk to me!” I asked, my voice breaking. “Who is coming?”There was a heavy silence, but then I heard her voice again. It was strong and clear.“Kian.”Suddenly, a massive shadow appeared from the darkness. I recognized it all too well. Horns twisted from its head, and its eyes were a deep, horrifying red. I squinted to take a better look

VioletI tried to focus on the black apple in front of me. Everyone had received one after Jason’s demonstration, and now the room was filled with students attempting to replicate what he had done.Everyone was failing. Including me.“This is going to take months to master,” Trinity muttered beside me. Her hands hovered over her own apple. “There’s no way we’re getting this in one class.”Trinity never bragged much, but she had exceptional talent in healing. Yet even she was struggling.No matter how much I thought about it, it didn’t make sense. I knew I wasn’t using my eyes, but I had seen what I could do with my hands before. Experienced it. And if a child of blood couldn’t do this, then what could I do?I tried again. My palms hovered above the apple, trying to pull the darkness out. The action only seemed to be draining the energy out of me.Either I wasn’t trying hard enough, or I was too focused on Jason. Every few seconds, my eyes would drift toward him as he moved through the

Violet“So let me get this straight,” Kylan said. “The professor everyone has been losing their minds over is Jason?” he asked. “The same Jason who was still a kid last time we saw him?”“Yes,” I confirmed.“And Aelius sent him here to teach you how to heal shadow wounds.”“Yes.”“And he wants us to come to Bloodstone Haven tomorrow night because Aelius needs your help and it’s about your parents?”“Well, our help,” I corrected. “But yes!”After class this morning, I had nearly knocked over two desks trying to follow Jason out the door. But he refused to give me more answers. All he did was tell me to wait until tomorrow with that perfect smile of his and those dimples.I walked closer to Kylan as we followed the path away from the Starlight gates. We had gone far enough from campus that no one could hear us, and we were surrounded by trees and silence.Even though it hadn’t even been that long, I had missed him. Missed this. It felt nice, finding comfort in him again.My thoughts dri

VioletI looked at Kylan, waiting for my sight to return to normal as everything was still a blur. My eyes were wet, my body was shaking, but at least it happened while I was in his arms.This dream…this nightmare, was way more intense than the others. Then a thought suddenly hit me, and my breath hitched.“Breathe,” Kylan instructed.I shook my head, trembling harder. “I didn’t save them…I didn’t save them!”My eyes squeezed shut again. I needed to go back. I couldn’t believe I ran. I actually ran and left them there when I could’ve saved them. My parents were right there, and I turned around and ran like a coward.When nothing happened, my eyes flew open.“No, no. You don’t understand!” I tried to explain. “I have to go back and save them.”“Who?” Kylan asked, his hands gripping my arms.“My mom and dad.” I rubbed my face with my palm, trying to ground myself. “And Kian? He was there, Kylan. Kian was there!”“It was just a nightmare—”“You don’t understand!” I shook my head frantica

VioletLeft, right, right, down, cave.That was the path I had engraved in my mind. The one I would never forget, even though I hadn’t walked it that often, and the one leading to the cave hiding Bloodstone Haven.We had left the car near the road, just like the previous times, and from there, we walked. The ground was bumpy, the trees dark, and the sky dark, but not even that could stop me.Kylan’s hand was in mine as I led the way in front.Behind us, Trinity walked between Dylan and Nate. She struggled with her boots.“Thank you again!” she huffed loudly. “For the heads up?”A small laugh escaped me. She had been complaining ever since we left the car. But when Trinity complained, she did it with love. With that thing she always had where she could be in a bad mood and still make sure the rest of us weren’t.“I want to know,” Nate said, grinning, “what exactly went through your head when you heard the word caves.”I let out a giggle.“I don’t know!” Trinity said. “Just…a cave, and
