A surge of apprehension washed over me as though I was the one who was about to be discovered.

    My heart clenched in dread.


    His fate seemed sealed.


    With ruthless efficiency, the vampires turned their wrath upon the defenseless child, leaving Caleb and his allies reeling from the onught.


    In a desperate bid to protect the innocent boy, Caleb threw himself into the fray, engaging the vampires in a valiant struggle.

    Sensing my distress, Ivy roused from her slumber, her voiceced with worry as she inquired, “Darling, what’s troubling you? What’s happened?”


    Without hesitation, I recounted the harrowing events of my dream to Ivy, every detail etched vividly in my mind.


    “Ivy, I dreamt of Caleb and a young boy in peril.


    The boy, searching for his mother near the border, was set upon by vampires, with Caleb sacrificing himself to protect him.

    Ivy’s response was one of calm reassurance, her words a balm to my anxious soul.


    “It was just a dream, my love.


    Try not to dwell on it.


    ”


    “Okay,” I replied and settled back onto the soft bedding.


    Though Ivy’s words offered sce, a restless unease continued to gnaw at me, a foreboding sense of impending doom lingering in the recesses of my mind.

    “No, I cannot ignore this any longer.


    I must see for myself what is happening.

    With my decision firmly made, I proceeded to the border where the two worlds intertwined, brushing aside Ivy’s attempts to dissuade me.

    “You’ve traveled such a distance chasing after a mere dream.


    Darling, you’re blowing this out of proportion.

    With unwavering determination, I countered, “You cannotprehend the intensity of the dream-it felt as real as life itself.


    What if it holds truth? Caution is warranted.


    Besides, we stand to lose nothing by investigating.

    Reluctantly, Ivy relented.


    “Very well, let us ascertain if there is cause for concern.


    But if not, we must hasten back.
