SILVER’S POV The walk back to the house was quiet. But my thoughts weren’t. They were everywhere. I kept seeing the fire. The jacket. The scream. The hand that grabbed mine. That hand… it felt real. Too real to be just a dream. Who was in that car with me that day? Was I even in that car? Or was it just someone trying to mess with my head? Did I survive something I wasn’t supposed to? But how? I didn’t remember anything like that. And if it was a real memory, why had it been locked away? Someone—or something—was opening up parts of me I didn’t even know were hidden. But why? I was told not to wander around alone for the time being—for security reasons. I promised myself I wouldn’t go back to that place. I meant it. But right now, I was sure I was about to break that promise.
