I was barefoot, the ground almost ice cold under my feet. I didn’t know this place. And I had never ended up here before.
The blackouts were supposed to be over. They had stopped once I ascended to my full power. When I gave the command.
Had reversing it messed everything up?
Or was it something else entirely?
Something I wasn’t even considering?
Everything was pitch black. Yet somehow, I could see shadows move. Figures even darker than the surroundings, shifting at the corners of my eyes.
And the air… it smelled familiar. Damp stone. Ash.
Like I had been here before.
But I couldn’t put my finger on it.
How did I get here?
I couldn’t even remember where I was before this. It was like my memories were blurring, mixing together until nothing made

sense.

A voice echoed.
Loud enough to make me flinch.
“Lia? Is that you?”
I spun around.
I knew that voice.
I knew it too well.
“Mom?” I whispered, my eyebrows drawing together.
Why was I hearing her?
She couldn’t be here. She was at home. With Dad.
A low cackle filled the silence, curling around me like smoke.
“Got you.”
I turned again, gasping.
Nothing. Just more darkness.
“Help,” Mom’s desperate voice called, followed by the sharp clink of chains.

Where the hell were we?
“Mom?” I shouted, my fists balling at my sides. “Where are you?”

“Lia?” Her voice was everywhere at once, like she was walking around me.
“I’m here, Mom. Where are you?”
“Help, please,” she sobbed.
Heat burned behind my eyes, and the faint purple glow pushed back some of the shadows.
I was in a cave. The walls were of stone. Water dripped somewhere in the distance, every drop echoing. There didn’t seem to be an exit.
Then my eyes caught a figure against the far wall.
My breath hitched.
I narrowed my eyes, blinking to clear my vision a little more.
It was her.
Kneeling, wrists chained high above her head, ankles bound with heavy iron. Her hair was tangled and her face pale,

streaked with dirt. She looked… smaller. Weaker. Like she’d been here for days.
But that wasn’t possible.
I’d met her just a couple of days ago.
We had been talking regularly. More often than we used to.
How could she be here?
This had to be a dream. A nightmare.
But why did it feel so real?
Her eyes were wide, scanning the darkness like she was searching for something she couldn’t find.
“Mom!” I ran towards her, my bare feet slapping against the cold stone. I dropped to my knees in front of her.
She flinched. “Who’s there?”
“It’s me!” I reached for her arm, but my hand went straight through. No resistance.
Like she was a ghost.
Or maybe I was?

She shivered. “Please… whoever you are, tell my daughter I love her. Tell her I’m trying to come home. Just… tell her to be happy.”
“Mom, I’m right here,” My voice cracked. I tried again, reaching for her face, her shoulder, anything—but my fingers passed through like she was smoke.
She didn’t react. She kept staring straight past me.
“Please,” she whispered. “Tell Lia I’m fine. And my husband. Please.”
My stomach twisted. She couldn’t see me. Was I in some kind of vision? Or was she?
I tried to breathe but the air here was too thin.
Like it wasn’t even there.
Almost a vacuum or a void…
Everything within me shuddered.
“Mom, I’ll get you out, I promise,” I said, even though it was useless.
She lifted her head slightly, like she thought she heard
something, then sagged again. The chains rattled faintly as she moved.

Somewhere deep in the cave, that low cackle echoed again. Louder. Closer.

I spun around, searching the shadows. The dark figures were moving again, their shapes stretching unnaturally, moving towards us.
“Stay away from her!” I shouted.
When I looked back, she was gone.
The chains still hung there, swinging gently.
