Celeste's POV
*****
"Celeste…"
"Wake up."
"Open your eyes, child of chaos."
The influx of voices in my head made my eyes open wide. I'd gone to sleep not too long after leaving my parents—yet I wasn't in bed right now.
What surrounded me instead was a vast expanse of darkness. Dark clouds surged above, lightning cracking with flashes of red.
In the midst of all this… chaos, I stood still.
Uncertain of where the fuck this was and how I ended up here.
"W–Wolf?" I hesitated. "Was that you? Is this my mental space?"
However, I didn't get a response from her.
My head was empty. The same feeling I've known for nineteen years and thought I'd finally overcome. No growls. No soft howls. No lurking presence waiting to guide me.
Just silence.
Panicking, I spun around. "Hello?!" My voice echoed through the expanse, the lightning rumbling louder. "What is this place? Am I dreaming?!"
If I were dreaming, how would a dream answer that for me?
This was no mere dream.
