“No, it’s just a dream. It’s not real. Nina, he’s so gentle, so kind, he could never hurt anyone,” Nathalie kept telling herself.
Nina clung to Nathalie’s neck, her voice trembling. “Mom, I’m scared. Is he going to lock me up too?”
Nina curled up into a little ball, trembling.
Nathalie pulled her in, holding her close. “Nina, it was just a dream. Dreams aren’t real.”
“But Mom, it wasn’t a dream. It was real.”
Nathalie let out a breath that was half a laugh, half a sob, as she cradled her daughter’s face gently. “Cameron saw you just the other day, and he was perfectly fine. Not a scratch on him. Nina, your dream was just a dream…”
Nathalie’s eyes were wide with sincerity. “Mom, it’s true. I saw it myself. In the basement of the McCoy family’s mansion, there was this enormous room with all sorts of terrifying instruments.”
A chill ran through Nathalie.
“Nina, how do you know about the McCoy family?”
“I’ve been there.”
Nathalie’s heart skipped a beat. “When?”
“Mom, don’t you remember? You took me there because I was sick. You heard the McCoy family had developed some miracle cure, so you brought me along. But the gatekeeper wouldn’t let us in, so you left me at the gate while you went to figure something out. Right after you left, Nathan came over and just picked me up without a word.”
“And then?”
“I was too weak and passed out. When I came to, I was in the basement, and Nathan was whipping Cameron with a long whip.”
Nathalie’s face went pale.
