“Don’t come down here, Mavrik.” I told him. I knew he would hear, and he’d be furious that I was refusing his help again. “We can’t let Beckah get hurt. If you bring her down here, she would be killed with the rest of us. I can’t let that happen, so don’t land. It’s all right.” Then something strange happened, something that had never happened before. Mavrik answered me. It wasn’t with words. I saw a flash of images in my mind, like a dream only I wasn’t sleeping.
