1 watched her face away, back into the trees, before I turned and faced the glass. I pressed my hands against it, and instead of a solid wall I thought I was going to find, I felt inbush in almost as if it was a bubble. I forced myself deeper, pushing farther in, causing the bubble to cave in.

Every step I took in the harder the bubble pushed back against me. It was fighting back, refusing to let me enter, and that just made me question what the hell was going on. This made no sense. Toya's defenses were blocking my entry, but that made zero sense. I wasn't here to hurt her, and even though something was attacking her, her mind should know I was safe to allow in. That Urbi was safe to allow in.

But she wasn't alone.
