Chapter 296

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.

I pulled back, gathering my strength and my magic to me, and then I slammed against the bubble. It fought back, pushing be back, but I used my magic like a knife, slicing through the force field and finally stumbling out of the trees. I turned back and I could see the edge of the invisible bubble; it was torn and snapping with energy. "What the fuck is going on?"

Urbi slipped from the trees. "You did it, you got through." I just nodded. "Hurry, Toya is fighting it, her, but she is losing."

"What do you mean?"

Urbi tilted her head. "Can't you hear her screaming?"

I stilled, and then I heard it. "No, you're wrong. She isn't like that." Toya's voice was ragged, like she had been yelling for a while.

I turned towards the voice and nodded. "I hear her." I started running towards the screaming. "I'm coming." I called out. Hoping that Toya could hear me, feel me here coming for her. I ran for what felt like ever. Her screaming got louder until I rounded a dune and there she was.

But she wasn't alone.
