Chapter 409 - 409: Unexpected pep talk...

Lyla

"That's just it, I can't." I sighed. "It's like the memory slips away the moment I try to focus on it. I've tried multiple times to concentrate and really remember the dream, but I forget everything as soon as I wake, and I feel like Nymeris is trying to tell me something."

"You can ask her about that when you wake up, No?" Circe asked, giving me a strange look.

"It doesn't work like that, Circe," I shook my head. "The thing is, Nymeris is alive and at the same time dead. I killed her, but she's still there because I am still alive, and she can't just die like that. But I can't talk to her like a normal person would their wolf."

"Oh!" Circe nodded, reaching out to take my hand, which she squeezed warmly. "That was a really dumb question, I'm sorry."

I nodded, smiling at her. "It's fine."

"You know," she continued, "pregnancy can sometimes interfere with our natural abilities, which is why when a woman is pregnant, in your own case, I feel like your babies are creating some kind of interference."

"My thoughts exactly," I nodded my head. "That's why I desperately need to know what Nymeris is trying to warn me about. I know it's important, and I feel like the information could save us."

I clasped Circe's hand tightly, and an idea was already forming in my mind. "Come into my dream or read my mind, how is it even done. Basically…"

"I know what you mean, Lyla," Circe raised her hand to stop me, "But that's dangerous and only a high priestess can do that. Besides, didn't you get one of those things before? I heard from Lenny that you were in a coma for several days and Miriam had to connect with you to…"

"Exactly," I nodded my head, not letting her finish. "But this time around, I am healthy and not in a coma. It's the only way to see if you can hear what Nymeris is trying to say and recognise the place where she keeps taking me to."

"No, Lyla," she shook her head. "I can't do that. I'm not qualified. Just tell Miriam to do it for you, she would agree."

I scoffed and leaned back on the couch, shaking my head. "She would never agree to it in the first place, and when she eventually agrees, if it's something difficult or dangerous, Nanny would never tell me. She would give me half-truths like she has all my life."
