The basement burst with dimensional energy the second Caleb disappeared into Luna's mind.
I threw myself forward, grabbing Lily's shoulders as reality bent and twisted around us. "Don't let go of his hand!" I shouted over the roar of tearing space.
"I can't hold on!" Lily cried. Her fingers were white-knuckled around Caleb's limp hand, but I could see the tension on her face. "Something's pulling him away from me!"
The walls around us flickered between solid concrete and empty space. Through the cracks, I caught glimpses of other realities - forests made of crystal, cities floating in purple skies, worlds where the rules of physics worked completely differently.
"This is impossible," Viktor gasped. "The dimensional walls are collapsing. If this keeps up, we'll be scattered across different realities."
