Forever in the Past and Forever in the Future

Chapter 214

Chapter 82

I watch as Katherine's tongue slides across her front teeth with her mouth closed, considering how to answer. She never takes her eyes off of me, trying to gauge my temperament. The women sitting behind her whisper quietly to each other, looking nervous.

"It was a mistake,” she finally clears her throat and says very matter-of- factly, "We have a lamp called the harbinger lamp. Mother lights it when there is an imbalance among the Manae that needs to be rectified. She lit the lamp purple, which means we needed to summon you to help with a problem with the Dark. I left this responsibility to Amari and Tessa. Tessa took things in her own hands and, based on past experience, took a forceful route instead of a peaceful one."

I watch as Amari looks at her hands, avoiding eye contact with me.

"Cora, how were you involved?" I look at her confused, "You were in that room with Tessa."

"I was summoned as well. To help with you, Kas," Cora looks at me as if she is asking for forgiveness.

I can't tell if she worded her phrase correctly or if her English is not refined enough to convey her message. 'Help with me’?

"When Cora and I arrived at our estate, we found out you were being held in the Waiting Room. We came right away, but you can’t just get out of the Waiting Room. We needed to convince you to leave," Katherine looks slightly guilty as she explains.

"The Waiting Room? Is that the place I saw Tessa and Cora? The place I drank from that old goblet?" I try to recall the few details that I can still remember.

'You remember the Waiting Room? That's impossible," Katherine's expression becomes horrified.

I’m feeling more annoyed now, "I remember there was a cot. Tessa standing in the doorway and Cora gave me a cup to drink out of because a voice on an intercom said that was the only way I could go home. Then I almost drowned in a portal that appeared at the bottom of the pool at our pack house."

Katherine glares at Amari. I see Amari's eyes glaze over as the two have a mind link conversation. A look of fear and regret crosses her naturally gentle face.

While they are distracted, I quickly mind link Marco, "Do you know what the Waiting Room is?"
