*Luna*
"Hey, Luna," Enya spoke up, and all of us turned our attention back to the screen.
"Hey," I said, wiping my tears away with the sleeve of my hospital gown.
"My friend Haley just came by. She is a Tethered Soul."
"I know. I met her. She is Cassie's sister." I looked over at Cassie and smiled. "She is really sweet."
Cassie smiled back and nodded. "How is she? I haven't spoken to anyone in my family for a few weeks. I miss my wife, Rosa, and our children."
"Haley is doing okay," Enya said, gazing at Cassie. "I was going to say that Haley is in Luna's room right now. Dylan is standing guard outside his window while he keeps in eye out. She can make it seem as if Luna is asleep, rather than standing in a corner, facing the door. If guards were to walk past and see Luna like that, they'd call over a staff member. So Haley is showing an illusion of Luna for them."
Wow. Cool trick.
"Just a question," I asked, staring up at the screen. "Her power is showing illusions, right?"
"Yes. She can make anyone believe anything," Enya replied.
"She sure can," Cassie mumbled, scoffing. "One birthday she made me believe my favorite hockey player came to my house, and after making a fool of myself and saying silly jokes to him, it turned out it wasn't him."
Enya shook her head, giggling. "Nope."
"Who was it?" I asked, gazing at both Cassie and Enya.
"It was Dylan. This was before he was caught. He flew to Canada from Australia and pulled this trick with Haley. It was funny." Enya smiled at her memory.
"If Haley can do that, then she could give the illusion that Chase is walking into the building where I am, and it could be anyone in our alliance." I glanced at everyone as they gave me a strange look. "Just a suggestion."
"Well, I don't know how long Haley controls her illusions," Enya mentioned, adjusting herself in front of the screen.
"How long was the last time... with Dylan?" Liberty asked.
My gazed turned to her.
"Like thirty minutes. Maybe longer," Cassie said, pinching her lips into a straight line. "Dylan was very convincing, though."
"Then that's what we can do," I said, feeling hopeful about an idea forming in my mind. "Haley could come here with one of you and have them pose as Chase. Then "he" can request access to me. He can also take me out of here. They won't know anything. Right?"
"That could work," said Cyrus, a tiny grin playing on his lips. "I don't know him, personally, but I think I could pull it off."
"I mean, Haley can make people believe they are meeting the Prince of Wales," Enya said, snorting. "She is quite good with doing illusions. She likes to play around by doing a street performance back home."
