Chapter 481

Katelina woke before the others. The dream clung to her consciousness like spider webs. Samael's warning left her uneasy. Old habits took her to the bathroom but there was nothing to do. Her hair looked fine. She didn't need to bathe, and she didn't need to pee. She changed her clothes in a sad attempt to exert control over a life she had no control of.

When she came back, she discovered the others waking and Jorick up. He pulled her into an embrace. "Good morning, little one."

"I don't know if it's good or not. Samael said"

Jorick cut her off, "He spoke to you? When?"

"Last night," she said impatiently.

"He's still appearing in your dreams? Was this the first time since you've been turned?"

"Yes. Now will you listen?"

"He shouldn't be able to. The change should have broken any link."

"He said it was a different kind of link."

Jorick tightened his hold on her. "I've never seen anything like this."
