Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 357

Chapter 357: Chapter 357 The Line Between Dreams and Reality

Cecilia ’s pov

"My hallucination ?" I repeated. Even to my own ears, my voice sounded far away.

"So you’re saying Harper never ran out here ? Tang didn’t jump out a window ? I made all of that up ?"

I stared at Sebastian’s face in the moonlight.

"So I’m just... crazy ?"

I reached up and touched his jaw, feeling the stubble beneath my fingers.

"And you ? For all I know, you’re not even real. If I blink, maybe you’ll disappear, and I’ll wake up back on the couch with Harper and Tang, watching some dumb movie."

The more I talked, the more I felt like I was losing touch with reality. I knew I was awake, but everything felt off.

Sebastian didn’t answer right away.

I caught a flicker of regret on his face.

He didn’t say a word. So I threw my arm around his neck and bit his shoulder. Hard.

"Yep. Definitely a hallucination," I muttered.

Sebastian let out a breath that was half laugh, half sigh.

"Right. I’m 100% imaginary. Close your eyes, count to a thousand, and I’ll be gone."

Then he picked me up and started walking toward the exit.

"No! I can’t leave Harper here!" I protested. "We need to find her!"

"Close your eyes," he said calmly. "I’ll take you to her."

I squirmed in his arms.

"She disappeared, Sebastian. One second she was there, and then... nothing. Even if no one took her, something made her stop answering. I can’t just walk away!"

His grip tightened slightly.

"Don’t panic. I’m a hallucination, remember ? Keep yelling and I might vanish before you get a second chance to bite me."

I was about to snap at him when Cassian showed up, jogging over with a few men behind him.

He slowed when he saw Sebastian carrying me.

"You found Cecilia ? What about Harper ?"

He looked around, clearly expecting someone else.

I shot Sebastian a cold glare.

At least Cassian seemed to have his priorities straight.

Cassian, of course, had no idea what kind of weird scene he’d just walked into.

Sebastian let out a long sigh.

"Harper got... swallowed by a tree," he said. "Can you go find her ?"

Cassian blinked. "Swallowed by a tree ?"

Sebastian pointed toward an ancient oak.

"That one. Cece says Harper vanished around there. Just... use your imagination."

Cassian raised an eyebrow but didn’t argue.

"Fine. I’ll check. You get her out of here."

He turned and motioned for his team to follow.

His reaction gave me a little hope, but I still couldn’t forget how strange Harper had seemed.

I called after him.

"Cassian, something’s off with her. She’s not stable. It’s like she inhaled toxic mushrooms or something. Be careful!"

Cassian gave a thumbs-up over his shoulder and kept walking.

Sebastian carried me away from the cemetery.

I rested against his chest, eyes still locked on the giant tree.

"Are you mad at me ?" he asked quietly.

I glanced up.

"You’re not real. Why would I argue with my own brain ?"
