Excerpt:
“Nathan, it’s
us,” Sasha tried to say calmly, inching closer with hands held up in seeming
surrender. Jim did the same.
Nathan knew he
had to be a pitiable sight with that weakly held knife, but he’d use it, damn
it, he would. Somehow he’d use it.
His back hit the
corner of the room.
“Playing that
game?” Nathan scoffed. “I know better.
You haven’t been them in…in so long, I…I don’t even remember. I don’t remember…”
“Nathan,” Jim
pleaded, moving closer with one hand outstretched. He looked so strange to Nathan, almost
believable with those dark blue eyes so caring, so concerned. “I can’t imagine what it must have been like,
but it’s over. You’re not in the Veil
anymore. We got you out. You’re safe.
With us.”
“Please believe
us, Nathan,” Sasha said. “Just look at us.”
He gestured to himself; to Jim.
Sasha too looked so normal, so honest and how Nathan remembered him. “It’s really us. You’re safe, Nathan. Please recognize us…”
He recognized
them. But it had to be a trick. Another damn trick like all the others.
“I gave you what
you wanted,” Nathan said again. He was
so cold. Nothing looked right. Nothing felt right. He couldn’t understand why this was happening
when he had finally given in.
“Nathan, it’s
us,” Sasha said more firmly, like maybe Nathan just couldn’t hear them.
“Malak took you
and we’re so sorry,” Jim said. “We wish we could have gotten you out sooner,
but you have to know us. Please tell me
you still know us…”
“Malak…?” Nathan
glared at the false images before him, knife still held firm, warning them not
to get closer. “It had nothing to do
with that, you know that, you know. I
didn’t…I didn’t go to the Veil.”
Jim and Sasha
stopped their progression toward him, their eyes wide and disbelieving. They shared a pained look, not knowing what
to say until finally Jim spoke, slow and gentle.
“Nathan, don’t
you remember? Malak said killing the
spriggan instead of banishing it broke the deal. That’s why we couldn’t win,
why we couldn’t save you. You went to
the Veil, Nathan. You’ve been in the
Veil. But you’re out now. I don’t know what Malak did to you there, but
we got you out.”
It almost made
sense, as if a second reality were trying to push into Nathan’s mind: memories
of what Jim was saying, memories he knew weren’t fabrications, and yet…how
could he remember things happening two different ways?
The Veil? Had that been the Veil? To him it had felt like life.
