It took three more sedations before Ashleigh could stop herself from losing her mind in the fear and panic of her memory.
Fiona and Corrine came to see her first. She told them everything that had happened in Summer after the wolves had made it through. And everything that she witnessed inside the ley line. She was glad to hear that Galen and the other soldiers left behind had survived, that Summer had survived.
She insisted that they needed to go to the mountainside to look for any way that they might be able to open the connection once more.
“We have been to the way gate,” Fiona said, sitting at the end of the bed and looking at Ashleigh with tenderness. “Myka has gone daily and tried to listen for anything at all.”
“What did he find?” Ashleigh asked excitedly.
Fiona lowered her gaze.
“Nothing,” she whispered. “The connection is gone; the ley line is gone.”
Ashleigh shook her head.
