Nora's POV
The woods surround me again in darkness.
Only the brilliant blue flames dance before me, their otherworldly glow cutting through the black. The hellfire pulls back like a living thing, wrapping around the demon. I stand within those flames, watching myself control the fire with hands that don't feel like mine. The blue-eyed man appears beside me, his presence both comforting and unsettling as we witness this scene together.
"What are you trying to show me?" I whisper, but the roaring flames swallow my words completely. The fire vanishes without warning, leaving me in absolute darkness until James's voice cuts through the void, calling my name with desperate urgency.
