I expected her to break down at Brian’s words, but she didn’t. She just stood there, letting the tears fall silently down her cheeks. When Brian told me about her mom’s condition through the mind link, I was already thinking of ways to comfort her, but a part of me wondered if I even had the right. Not after the way I’d treated her.
I wanted to wrap her in my arms, tell her it would be okay, that I was here for her. But the weight of the prophecy pressed down on me like a stone. I remembered how I confronted Lauren after what I discovered at my parents' house. I’d asked why she kept part of the prophecy from me. She said she didn’t tell me because she believed we could overcome our fate. But when I pushed her to be specific, who was destined to die, she said it would be Lila.
