His fingers wrap tightly around my hand, and he turns to walk us to the opening of the shed. The other two step aside to let us through.
Kellan and Aiden lunge forward to try grabbing me, but lightning strikes down and immobilizes them.

We step up to it, and I look back at each of the guys for one last look. One last memory of how they all came for me. Dane’s eyes are wide, and he’s slowly shaking his head at me to avoid drawing the lightning guy’s attention to him. He’s urging me to stop. Not to go.

I pull my gaze from him as a single tear falls. And then I walk through the portal and leave the life I knew behind.
