Enzo quickly sat up in bed and looked at me with narrowed eyes. I sat up as well, trying to maintain a strong composure, but I always felt so weak when he looked at me like that. I felt my face reddening from the intensity of his stare.

“I’m not taking you to see that monster,” he said through his teeth, and I knew from his tone that there wasn’t going to be a discussion about it.

“I need to see him,” I said firmly, folding my arms across my chest. “I have to ask him questions of my

own.”

“Tell me the questions and I’ll ask him,” Enzo said, keeping his eyes locked on mine.

I shook my head, frowning at him.

“This is something I need to do,” I told him. “Can’t you trust me?”

“Of course, I trust you, Lila,” he said in return. “It’s him I don’t trust.”

“It’s not like I’ll be alone, Cole. I’ll have you with me and some of the ga mmas that are keeping guard of him. I’ll be safe.”

“Having you anywhere near him isn’t safe,” Enzo said, pressing his lips firmly together. “I don’t understand. why you want to see him suddenly. What answers could he possibly give you? Do you even think he’d tell you anything? He’s been through the wringer, and he hasn’t a word to any of us other than his usual

nonsense.”

“That’s what I mean though. What if what he’s saying isn’t nonsense?” I asked, furrowing my brows. together. “What if he is trying to tell us something?”

“Lila, he’s not trying to tell us anything. That’s the issue,” he said, shaking his head at me. “Why are you pressed about this?”

“Because I had a dream about him,” I admitted, looking down at my hands and tugging at my fingers nervously.

“A dream?” Enzo asked; I could feel his eyes still on my face. “What kind of dream?”

“I don’t even know if it was a dream,” I said, looking back up at him. “It felt so real….”

“What happened in this dream?”

He sounded suspicious, but curious at the same time. He wasn’t angry, but he also wasn’t pleased if that makes sense.

“I think I was some kind of ghost or spirit,” I explained; trying to recall every moment of the dream.

“You were dead?”.

“Not dead, no. But nobody could see me,” I explained. “I was in the dungeon watching my father beating
