Chapter 188

Caleb’s body went rigid, his eyes locking on mine as if searching for something in my words. He took. a step forward, his voice tight.

“What happened in the dream, Aurora? Tell me everything.”

I hesitate, my throat tight, but I force myself to speak. “I don’t know… It felt like I was somehow back there, in that room, like I could touch everything, even smell the air. It was my parent’s room, Caleb. But something about it just felt wrong. I’ve never seen it like that before, as if all traces of my father had been removed. Only my mother’s belongings remained.”

He stared at me, eyes wide. Then, almost as if he’d lost his breath, he asked, “What else? What else did you see?”

I shook my head slowly, not understanding what any of it meant. “Nothing else… nothing that I can remember clearly.” The air felt colder now, and I gave an involuntary shiver as the weight of everything settled in.

“Caleb, what does this mean?” I asked, my voice shaking.

Caleb didn’t answer right away. Instead, he took a deep breath and looked away, lost in thought. When he met my gaze again, and I could see the worry in his eyes. “I don’t know, Aurora. But whatever it is, it’s not good. Something about this dream is off.”

“You feel it too, don’t you?” I urged. “Why Caleb? You told me that my parent’s house burned down, right? Then…why did I dream of it? Especially my parent’s room?”

“Aurora,” Caleb said suddenly, a kind of hesitance in his voice that told me he had been hiding something from me. “When I went to your house that day, before the fire… There was one room that was completely empty. I’m not talking about the mess, the broken stuff–no, this room… it was completely empty. Like…everything in it was just… gone.”

I stared at him, unable to breathe for a moment. “What do you mean gone?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper. “Gone like it was cleared out? Or…?”

He sighed deeply, rubbing his hand across his face, clearly struggling with the weight of what he was

saying.

“I think it was your parent’s room. The bed was still there, but everything else, all their personal stuff, was just… gone. Like someone had taken it all.”

My heart dropped. “But was there a burglary? Did someone break in?”

Caleb shook his head, his expression darkening. “No signs of forced entry. Nothing. It was like

whoever did it had a key… or just knew exactly what they were doing. But before I could check the rest of the house…” He paused, his eyes shifting away from mine. “The fire started.”

I felt a cold shiver crawl up my spine. Everything I thought I knew–the fire, my father’s death, my parents, my old life–was slipping through my fingers like sand. A thought gnawed at me, but I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud. I just knew something wasn’t right.
