|The Betrayal Trilogy: Book 2|

I shake my head, trying to bring my thoughts into focus. Flashes of her lifeless eyes echo through my head, wanting to escape, but not being able to. I fight the urge to burst into tears at the thought of her stab-ridden body. All that blood...all the tears in her flesh, tears I caused. Now, she is standing before me, perfectly healthy, her wounds gone.

I feel her hand wrap around my arm gently. "Sweetie, it's okay, I'm here."

Tears cloud my vision. I can't stay strong, not anymore. "No, this isn't real," I say, almost vibrating from the shock of it all. "You're not real!"

One, her mother is dead.

Two, she believes she will never see Xavier again.

Three, she knows she's losing her mind.
