Chapter 45
VINCULA
Caius fell to his knees as headlights and a small girl with bright red hair assaulted his mind. The girl was smiling and walking toward him like they were friends, and he didn’t understand what was happening.
When his vision cleared, he stood on shaky legs, holding on to the bathroom sink. What was that?
He went over everything in his mind. There were trees behind the car, and the redhead climbed out of the driver’s seat.
His blood turned to ice as fear blanketed him.
The vision was in Erdikoa, and the only reason he’d have a nightmarish episode while awake was an Aeternum vision.
Usually in his visions, he felt fear, pain, anxiety, or whatever Rory felt, but this time, he felt nothing but excitement.
She was oblivious to whatever danger awaited her.
Unchecked emotions flooded him, circulating between fear, anguish, and pure, unadulterated rage.
His head swam, making him stumble. When he looked in the mirror, black veins branched over his jaw, and solid black eyes stared back at him.
They were the last thing he saw before everything faded to nothing.
