Dreamworld Escape Chapter 24
JADELYNN It had been a month since Camden started meeting up with me here. He helped me learn to manipulate things very quickly. It was easy to use explosive anger, but it was harder to use focused intention. I needed to be able to do both, so he was patiently helping me. It was effortless to manipulate small things such as clothing. That was nice because I was tired of always being stuck in whatever ridiculous dress I was forced to wear. It helped me feel a little more normal. Well, as normal as could be expected with being stuck here. Camden had also begun testing my focus so that loss of concentration did not result in altered manipulation. How did he decide to test this? During a clothing manipulation, he screamed ‘crazy cat sweater’ at the top of his lungs. Next thing I knew, I was wearing a damn crazy cat sweater. To get him back, I tested a theory of mine. He was in my dreamscape which meant I could manipulate his clothing as well. He ended up in a pink tutu and tiara. The be
Dreamworld Escape Chapter 25
JADELYNN It was annoying to not remember Camden during the day because it never gave me time to really think things through concerning him. It had been a couple of days since he told me that the attraction was mutual and had not pushed the topic at all. However, we needed to talk about this. Knowing that he was attracted me too delighted me because it meant that this thing was not just one sided. Did he think about me as much as I did him? He remembered me during the day, so it made me wonder if I was ever on his mind then. “What’s on your mind, beautiful? You’re pretty quiet.” Now or never. Right? I was brave. I was fearless. Okay, I was not, but I could pretend to be. I did not back down from anything, including owning my feelings. “You are,” I said softly, trying to keep myself from not blushing like a fool. His fingers turned my chin so that I would have to look at him. Yeah. Blushing would be imminent now. His handsome face stared back at me, looking quite pleased with my ad
Dreamworld Escape Chapter 26
CAMDEN Jadelynn and I held hands while we walked through the area that she dubbed The Gate of Desires. Her hand was very soft and warm in mine and brought a smile to my face as I looked at our hands entwined. Yesterday, she had been worried that she was hurting me with her words. It did sober me up hearing how much Golden Boy and her had been through in their history together. It made me worry that we would never have anything in comparison to that. But then she surprised me with expressing how she felt about me. We both cared about each other. She felt it was selfish to ask that we continued like we had been, but I would do anything for her. I admired her for caring enough about Golden Boy to refuse breaking his trust. Jadelynn had true character, and not everyone had that anymore. She was genuine, and I loved that about her. “Douchewad asked me about the wound I got yesterday. He believes that the world is trying to keep me away from whatever he is seeking which means that I’m clo
Dreamworld Escape Chapter 27
JADELYNN “Jade we need to talk,” Douchewad said as I woke up from another trip into Hell. I blinked a few times to clear away the fog that always muddied my brain after waking up from being forced to endure another damn walk in that fucking place. I longed to go back to a time when dreams were just the productions of an active imagination. Back when the place that dreams came from was all inside my mind instead of some fucked up place that shattered everything about me. I could not take anymore of this. Eleven damn months…I had been forced to endure this for eleven months. I used to fear death, but I would welcome it now because he destroyed everything of me. He made me into a shell of what I once was. I was no longer Jadelynn. I was his precious Key. I was but a mere object for him to gain what he wanted. He was thrilled with my progress over the past six months. My ability to manipulate the world became second-nature to me. He honestly felt that I was getting close to obtaining wh
Dreamworld Escape Chapter 28
CAMDEN Dominique called a meeting and had us contact Dent. We were not entirely certain what was going on right then. The urgency in her voice chilled me. Vanosti had been excited with her progress, but something must have happened for Dominique to need everyone. “Long story short. Jadelynn is in a magically-induced coma. She is safe, but we need to extract her tonight. Vanosti let slip that he was bringing someone else in because she was showing progress and found something he believed was what he needed. He was going to have both of us work together. I lifted the fog that eclipsed you and everything she learned about herself. I told her to antagonize him and that I needed him to blast her with his magic. That was the only way for me to put her in the coma. I also ensured that my contact reached out to him to inform him that the power he seeks will be checking into a hotel two towns over tonight. The hotel room is already booked, so Vanosti will be waiting in that room for his arriv
Dreamworld Escape Chapter 29
JADELYNN The last thing that I remembered was unimaginable pain followed by Camden apologizing to me over and over. I remembered hearing him sobbing, but I could not open my eyes or move. I was stuck in limbo between being awake and asleep. No matter how hard I tried to move towards his voice, I could not move. He explained to me what Dominique had to do and how I would be stuck like that. It was very disconcerting, but it was necessary. The pain was what confused me though. I had become used to pain over the past year. All types of pain at that. This had felt so different though. I felt as something blasted into me and ripped my insides apart. It was something that I never wanted to feel again. It felt like I was floating and surrounded by pain for days or months or years. There was no way to tell how long it had been before the pain went away, and I was no longer floating. My body was surrounded by warmth, and an interesting scent. It was like a rainforest and very refreshing. I
Dreamworld Escape Chapter 30
JADELYNN It was great to spend time with Camden in the real world instead of in a sadistic world that thrived off torturing me. Everyone was really easy to be around. Camden shared many stories about all of them over the months that we were together, but it was even better getting to know them personally. They were all great people, and I owed them more than I could ever express. This was what they always did because it was their job. However, I did not see it that way and never would. They went above and beyond for me, and I would always be appreciative of everything they did. They saved me, and that was something I could never repay. The medic gave me special herbs to block me from entering the Dreamworld for which I was very thankful because I definitely needed a break from there. Eleven months of that place felt like a lifetime and a half. Camden only left my side once during the day when Dent needed to talk to him about something. He had been hesitant to go, but I told him tha
Dreamworld Escape Chapter 31
JADELYNN “Jade, Thad’s here to see you,” Dad informed me quietly because he must have caught onto everything so far, or he knew that I had to let him go. I thanked him. I was not pissed off at them anymore. The past was in the past. If Douchewad’s enslavement taught me anything, then it was that life was fleeting. We could either take hold of what was precious to us or not. Either way, it might not be there one day. He had taken everything from me, but he would not take any more. My breath hitched when I saw Thad. I missed him so much more than I missed anyone else. I thought about him constantly, daydreamed about him multiple times a day, and held fast to every memory I had of him. He was what kept me strong and got me through everything. The Dreamworld tried to destroy my memories of him, but they were not the real Thad. This was the real one. That was all that mattered. It seemed that it was not only me who changed in all of this. He was just as handsome as ever, but he looked l
