Chapter 76 Luca
LUCA
“Hey, where’ve you been?” I ask as she climbs out of her car.
“Requesting an official copy of this.” She pulls out a folded paper and passes it to me. “It has my mother’s name on it too.”
It’s a copy of her birth certificate. I’m unsure what she’s getting at. “Why would you expect different?”
She utters, “Just a conversation with my grandma. It’s nothing.”
It doesn’t seem like it, but we have something else more pressing right now—challenge twelve. And it’s nearly midnight and time for it to begin.
When Micah and Brooke arrive, the four of us follow the markers that lead to the back of the cemetery and into a mausoleum.
“This is where we did the whisper dare at,” Ivy mutters, her vision glazed over. “That feels like a lifetime ago.”
It really does. So much has happened since then.
Decider is already waiting as we approach. He’s silent until exactly midnight.
“Face the truth if you dare. You proved worthy of trust in the last round. But what is trust without truth? Trust remains fragile even after established.”
The dread in my gut tells me that it’s not fragile as in weak, but more destructive like a bomb waiting to detonate. And it’s about to implode my world.
