Forsaken (Fated Saga Fantasy Series Book 8) (38 page)

“If that’s what he truly is.”

Meghan eyed him, many questions racing to the surface.

“He is completely unique,” said Eddy. “They called him a Projector, believing him to be one. And he may well be. But he’s also… more.”

“Is he immortal? Is he dangerous?”

Eddy paused. “I am not sure, on either count. To find out if he is immortal, well, the manner in which Fazendiin explained is actually the only way to truly test that theory.”

“Oh,” she muttered, horrified. In her next breath, “My father needs to be stopped.”

“Yes.”

She swallowed hard. “Why… why didn’t you tell Colin? He wants to know so desperately.”

“And I wanted to tell him just as desperately. But I could not. Fate dictates…” he was cut off.

“Screw fate!”

He smirked. “Regardless of how you feel about it,
fate
would not allow it to happen. Not until it’s the right time.”

“I don’t believe in fate any longer. Maybe unfinished business has rules, but fate does not determine my life.”

“Are you saying this simply because the prophecy isn’t true?” he asked her.

She gasped. “How do you know that?”

He gave out a ghostly sigh. “Meghan, it may appear that fate has forsaken you. However, the truth is, I do not think we have reached that pivotal moment where fate, truth and time intersect with the future.”

“Um… huh?”

He chuckled. “Sorry. I can’t explain more. Literally I cannot. I feel the tug.”

“What do you mean?”

“I have to return to Grimble now. My time in the real world is over, for today. Consider everything you saw carefully, Meghan. There are clues. You’ll discover them when the time is right.”

“But…”

His ghostly form dissolved.

She plunked back against the side of her bed.

“So what do I do now?”

She needed time to process.

Time to think it all through.

Now was not the time for rash decisions. Or hasty actions.

She’d been given this vision, and visit from Eddy, for a reason.

Why?

Just to see Juliska’s history? To better understand her?

Eddy had hinted at a clue as to how to end all of this? Something she needed to do. But going over the vision again she had no idea. The only thing she was certain of is that the lives of everyone she cared about depended entirely on her figuring this out.

“No pressure,” she jested to no one.

A specific memory came out at her. The one where her mother, Isabella, had been talking to Aloyna. As if she was privy to some long kept secret… that had to do with her. Her mother had been rubbing her belly and talking about,
she’s in here too…
Meghan…

But what did it mean?

She got up off her feet, determined.

First, she realized where Colby had hidden his grandmother.

With the only person he ever trusted… his mother. Their mother.

Second… it all came down to Aloyna and Isabella… and it was time to pay them a visit and get answers.
