Jeni watched me, nervously. "I think somethings...wrong...with..." I said as I tried to stand up, collapsing to the floor. My last sight was Jeni's feet. They were pretty cute. I blacked out. ---------------------------------------------- Family Reunions ---------------------------------------------- I woke up groggy, not myself at all. I was in a comfortable if tiny bed, in a small room. There were no windows and only one door, which was metal and looked sturdy. Like a door at a jail. There was also a desk with an uncomfortable-looking chair, a lamp and two books. One of the books was a blank notebook with a pen. The other was 'The Quiet of Solitude'. I recognized the author's name.

In my previous life, I still felt a trace of pity for Lucy. It was not like she wanted to be this way. But in the end, my parents and I were all dragged into mud, turned into fuel for her emotions… I turned and walked into what should've been my room, then suddenly realized something was off. This was the smallest room in the house. There was only a tiny window, and there was practically no sunlight. It was barely livable. Why should I be the one living in a room like that?

“I… I don’t understand…” “Maya, wait,” Julian whispered. He stepped in front of her, flickering with blue light. He looked at the child, his face twisting between deep love and uneasy suspicion. “This is Chapter 100. This is the end. But we haven’t written the title. How is she here already?” Suddenly, the golden door behind the child started glowing with a sick silvery light. The warm smell of home—fresh bread and lemons—vanished. Now all Maya smelled was the cold, metallic air of a hospital lab.

“Door at the end of the hall. Leads to the alley. You okay, hon?” I nodded fast. “I’m fine. Just tired.” She shrugged. “Alright. Stay safe.” I walked out and found room twelve. The door opened with a click. I stepped inside and locked it behind me. The room was small. One bed, one chair, one lamp. The carpet felt thin under my shoes. I set my suitcase down and sat on the edge of the bed.

I walked silently beside Miss Callie, my steps echoing in the empty corridor. I could feel her eyes on me, assessing and pitying all at once. I kept my gaze fixed straight ahead. We finally reached my room. I paused outside the door. Number 13 and my name were on the door. I could feel Miss Callie watching my every move. Taking a deep breath, I stepped inside the small space with white walls and a narrow bed that looked more like a slab than something meant for comfort. The window was barred, making the room feel more suffocating than it already was; the only bit of colour in the room was the big red button on the wall.

The door was already open. I took a deep breath. This was it. The start of Tate Osborne, Regular Human Student. No magic. No Pack politics. Just me, some textbooks, and a roommate who hopefully didn't snore. I walked in. The room was... small. Like, prison-cell small. Two twin beds, two desks, and a window that looked out onto a brick wall. And it was already half-occupied.

“Cam, whatever happens next, we do not lie to each other. Okay? That’s probably what they want.” He nodded fast. “Okay. Okay.” The hallway lights flickered on one by one, revealing smooth metal walls and another door at the end. A number glowed above it. 01 My stomach sank. “Level one?” Cameron guessed. “Looks like it.” The door slid open. Inside was a small room. Too clean. Too white. A single chair bolted to the floor. A screen mounted on the wall. I stepped inside. The door shut behind me. Locked. The screen flickered to life.

We peeked into each room once more—three small beds, three steady rhythms of sleep. Alex reached for my hand, whispering, “You know what’s crazy?” “What?” “This feels exactly like the life I didn’t know I wanted.” I smiled, squeezing his fingers. “Same.” And as we slipped into our own room, the world outside kept turning, soft and endless. Inside, everything we loved was safe, sleeping under the same roof—our little universe of laughter, noise, and peace. END OF CHAPTER 111
