“What is it?” Ellie asked. “What did you see?”
“I saw Dex…” Nylah started, but her voice caught in her throat, and suddenly, her eyes filled with tears. “I’m sorry, I…I can’t.” She clapped her hand over her mouth and turned, running from the room. Sobs racked her chest and could be heard all the way from the door.
“What was that?” Zita asked.
Dex looked confused.
“I don’t know,” Ellie said, looking worried. “I’ll go talk to her.”

“Whatever it is,” Mom said, her voice sounding a little strange, “this is the start of another chapter. Our story is far from over, and I have a feeling this isn’t going to be an easy road.”
Did my mom just have a vision, too?
“Has it ever been?” I asked.
Erol pulled me closer.
“No,” Mom said and turned her eyes to Dex. “But I have a feeling it might get even harder.”
Dex pursed his lips, and I looked at Erol.
“Whatever comes,” I said, determined. “We’ll stick together and get through it.”
“Hear, hear,” Rainier said, and he held onto little Deron just a little tighter.
