I didn’t.

Another vibration.

Then walk.

My skin went cold.

I stared at the words.

“How do you know?”

No answer.

I hadn’t typed it.

Still…

The screen changed.

Another message.

Keep going.

My breathing stopped.

He could see me.

I spun.

Nothing.

“Nyssa?”

Ghost moved closer.

“What?”

“You okay?”

I looked at him. Then toward the house. Alaric was right there.

Go back.

Now.

My phone vibrated again.

I didn’t want to look.

I did.

Don’t stop now.

Fear crawled beneath my skin. Not because of the words. But because I’d stopped… and he knew. I lifted my gaze slowly. Somewhere beyond the grounds… someone was watching. Or something was.

“Nyssa.”

Ghost was closer now.
