See How She Falls (26 page)

“The
darkness will fall, and you are the bringer," my aunt lunged for me,
wrapping her hand around my throat. Cutting off any objection I may have made.

“Act
now, Izzy, or all will be for naught." Just like that they disappeared.

Had
I been here before? I couldn’t remember. Had I seen them, really, or were they
just another manifestation of my mind?

I
shook it all away, and returned to floating, lost in the dreaming. Far from
everyone except the memories of Kennan.
