Chapter 517 Take Me With You I couldn't control my body; an unseen force yanked me forward, my speed whipping past Carter, tousling his hair.

While everyone's attention was on Everett, Carter seemed to sense something was amiss and turned in the direction I was being pulled away.

"Chloe?"

There was no response. Everett, clearly alarmed, began searching for me immediately.

When they realized I was no longer in the room, not only Everett but even Everly started to cry.

Carter grew visibly uneasy. Something was very wrong!

He couldn't console his two children; their time together must've been so long that he could feel my presence even without seeing me. But now, he felt nothing!

He distinctly felt a draft, an impossibility in the warmth of the room. Upon feeling it, a hollowness washed over him.

"Chloe, are you still here?" He flicked a lighter, the flame's soft glow casting light over his face.

In the past, Chloe would always come to blow out the flame whenever he did this.

But tonight, she didn't. A sharp pang hit Carter's heart; he sensed it. In this vast room, Chloe was gone! "Chloe, don't scare me, where are you?"

The children's cries filled the room, and Carter, pale-faced, scanned for any trace of Chloe. Nothing. Nowhere!

Ignoring the children's wails, Carter flung open the door and bolted outside. The wind and snow howled, creating an apocalyptic scene; everything was a bleak white expanse.
