Alec’s

"Something else is going on." Alec speaks up for the first time since we came back. "I don't know about you, but I think something else is up. This looks like something that has been building up for years. Something that she has probably been planning while she bids her time." Jason, who was silent, adds. "Alec is right. Like Raven said, it doesn't make sense that she would just attack now out of nowhere... And like Alec said, she was biding her time, waiting for something. Whatever it is she was waiting for has probably taken place. That's why she's now coming after you." To be honest, I am not sure how to feel about that. It's something that I have struggled with since that hybrid spoke those words.

Sure, I am powerful, but I am not yet confident in my powers. They are still new, and I haven't even mastered them, yet there is someone seemingly more powerful who is after me for whatever reason. I mean, she can't be powerless if she is able to create a whole new fucking species. My heart rate hits the roof when I think of the possibility of facing off against this enemy. Hybrids are ruthless, so what about their creator? That is the question that keeps ringing in my head. How the hell did my life get so complicated?Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

The dream I had still haunts me. A tremble passes down my spine as I think of all the ways everything could go wrong. Of all the lives that could be lost, including mine.

Then it hits me. "Oh, my goddess, what if the dream I had was of her? Remember Raven? It was a woman that killed me. What if it's the'she' the hybrid was talking about?"

Her eyes widen as my words register in her mind. I never saw the woman's face, and we wondered who she was and why she would possibly want to kill me. What if I couldn't see her face because I haven't met her yet? What if she's the woman that's after me? "If it's true, then I was right. I wasn't a dream but a premonition," her words come out shaky as her voice cracks.

We both run a hand through our hair at the same time. Now more than ever, I am even more disturbed as pieces finally start to fall into place.

"Wait, I am lost. Dreams? Premonitions? You were killed?" Alec's voice is tinged with confusion. The confusion is also on his face and that of the others.

Raven takes a moment to explain

what we were talking about because I simply can't get the words past my lips. My shoulders fall as I feel the weight of the world on thema feel overwhelmed and messed up.

"Pull yourself together, Sadie" Nyx growls at me her voice hard and authoritative. “You are my human, and you were never designed to be weak, so much so that this is stressing you. Why the hell are you feeling sorry for yourself instead of

obe

finding a fucking solution?

"Nyx..."

"No! You are Sadie Evans and you are more powerful than you can imagine. Stop whining and cowering like a little girl and start fixing shit."

For some reason, I feel like she's

given me a slap. A slap to get my brain working. She's right. I've been. through hell, and I've survived all of it before, so why the hell was

allowing myself to despair?

I shake the despair I was feeling and focus on what needs my attention.

"We can come back to that later." I pull my shoulders back and straighten my shoulders before turning to Raven. "You said you might have found who the imprisoned person is."

Her eyes stare at me for a while, as if searching before she finally answers. "I believe his name is Kaden."
