Chapter 140

"He's here." 

The words filtered from my lips, but I had no idea why, or how, they'd slipped out. My surroundings blurred around me, too warped to see clearly no matter how many times I blinked. What was happening? Last I knew, I'd been in my dorm room, tucked safely in my bed with Nebbles at my feet, about to fall asleep.

Was I sleep-walking? No, because Echo had sat across from my bed and watched me to be sure I didn't. Plus, I knew it was really her because Jon, her, and me had done the blood bond again, this time without Ramsey.

"Yes, he is here," another voice said, deeper and definitely not mine. "You brought him in with your dark, broken heart. His was broken too. You're just like him."

"I didn't," I tried to say. "I'm not." My mouth wouldn't work right, though, same with my limbs. I had no control.
