It was safe to say that I’d never been bullied or made fun of because I couldn’t see enough. From experience, I knew that the best reaction was to not react. So I forced myself to keep breathing.
“I’ve seen enough. I know what’s to come, and I’m not the one who should be worried right now.” I moved toward her. “Excuse me,” I said keeping firm eye contact. “I’m leaving now.”
She looked away and stepped back. “Bitch,” she muttered as I walked past.
“Don’t worry. I’ve been called much more creative things.” I could hear footsteps behind me, and took a deep breath in. From the scent, my cousins, Cosette, and Elsa were following me. I wasn’t sure what Shane and Daniel were up to, but I wasn’t turning around to find out.
“Well, that went just about as well as could be expected,” Claudia said, breaking the silence when we were halfway to her house.

“It wasn’t so bad,” I said.
“What do you mean?” Cosette said.
“Yeah, those people sucked, but did you notice the ones along the sidelines?”
“Beth, Tiffany, and Yvonne. Yes. I noticed,” Raphael said.
“They’ll be in with us. So, that’s more than I had this morning. The rest seem like a total lost cause. I’m assuming most of the adults who disagreed with Luciana found a way to leave—like your parents, Mom, and Tia Rosa—and the rest here are complacent.”
“Yes,” Claudia said.
I blew out a breath. Well, it wasn’t a total waste. We’d learned some good stuff. Maybe not all of it was actually good good, but knowing was half the battle.
I texted Mom about getting more food and she promised to come by tomorrow with a truckload.
Until then, I needed to get a game plan. Those dreams were still haunting me. I needed to find out how to make sure none of my nightmares come to pass.
Chapter Eighteen
I’d thought the dreams couldn’t get worse. But they did.
I was drowning in the images. I couldn’t breathe and my heart was breaking.
Dastien was with Imogene.
Her gaze met mine as I saw them across campus. He was kissing her. His back was to me.
It was worse than a punch to the gut. There was no more air in my lungs. It burned and I couldn’t get a breath in.
This was why people cut themselves off from love. This was it. I knew it. It was worse than anything I’d ever felt and I wasn’t sure I’d survive.
Just when I thought I couldn’t take anymore, the images changed.
I blinked and we were back in Imogene’s room. It was a sty, as always. Clothes piled everywhere. Clean mixed with dirty.
She was putting on her gold necklace; Dastien had given it to her and it had triggered a vision for me once. Now I wanted to rip it from her throat.
I moved toward her, lunging for the gold chain, but the image shifted again, and suddenly she wasn’t there.
A moan had me turning around.
They were in her bed. They were…they were…they were…

“Wake up!” Claudia said.
I blinked. I was sobbing so hard I couldn’t catch a breath. The pain—the heartbreak—was still there. Lingering. I couldn’t shake it free.
