Everything shut down.
My heartbeat.
My fears.
My life.
“W-Who’s this?”
A soft chuckle. A voice that sounded eerily like Aslan’s. “If I’m to believe the reports on what my missing son has been up to, I suppose...I’m technically your father-in-law.”
I backed up.
I crashed against the opposite wall. “W-Where’s Aslan?”
“Oh, don’t worry. He’s home now. Back where he belongs.”
A gusting in my chest.
A tearing in my soul.
“L-Let me talk to him.”
“Oh, I’m very sorry,” he purred. “But that won’t be possible.”
Tears nettled.
Horror settled.
“What did you do?”
Don’t tell me.
Don’t say it.
Don’t—
He sighed sadly. “Well...he’s not breathing at present.”
It’s not real.
This isn’t real.
Wake up, Nee.
Wake up!
“Silence?” he drawled. “I must admit, I expected a scream.”
“I don’t believe you.”
“Doesn’t matter. What’s done is done. I’m sure you always knew this wouldn’t last.”
“Please...” The world went stark white. I clung to sanity as my heart fissured down the middle. “Please let me speak to him.”
“You will never speak to him again.”
Even now.
