I turn back to the door, tears stinging my eyes. I knock on the door to be let back into my nightmare.
“There’s been a mistake, no one’s come to visit me.”
“Not here,” a voice hisses in my ear and I spin, not seeing anyone near me. “Come.”
At the far end of the visitor’s room, a white door opens. Yet none of the visitors or prisoners seem to notice. They are still smiling or talking to each other at their small tables.
I shuffle forward, my stomach tightening in knots. There is a restricted sign on the door that opens into a small room. A cloaked figure stands in the middle of the room. Blonde hair identical to the color of mine peeks out from the hood and my breath catches.
This isn’t Deirda or Grams.
“Who are you?” I whisper.
The door clicks closed behind me, and I jump.
She turns around and lowers her hood. Her bright blue eyes regard me like she’s studying a bug. Her goddess aura glows around her and is almost blinding.
She’s beautiful.
I’m stuck on whether I should curtsey or prostrate myself.
I lick my lips. “Do I know you?” My voice sounds hollow and raspy in this small room while an ache starts at the base of my stomach.
“Shaye,” she says and even her voice is perfect, but it stirs something inside of me. A mix of sweet and firm, she is a woman who takes what she wants, uses what she has to do so. “My little girl, I may have left it too long to come and see you, and for that I can’t expect you to forgive me, but I will do what I can to make it up to you. Now heed my words. You will die today unless you do exactly as I say.”
My head spins. “Wait, back up. You’re my mom?”
