|Xavier’s POV| I don’t know how long I have been stuck here in this limbo. Sometimes I hear Sage’s voice, I hear how much she misses me, how she wants me to wake up. But I barely allow myself to believe those words to be reality. It seems as though I have been surrounded by darkness for far too long and it is making me wonder if I will ever see the people I care about again. I miss Sage. I do. But the nightmares are now worse than ever because these are nightmares that never seem to end. These are nightmares that feel permanent, like they are telling me to do something. And they are all the same. They start with a happy moment that usually involves Sage and Adrian and end with Sage or sometimes even both of them dying in my arms. I am growing sick of that. I am growing sick
