They walked for a while in silence and if Nyla hadnāt been with Ryley he probably wouldnāt be alive. Simply because, what he didnāt know is sheād been wearing a protective barrier around them. Sheād been concentrating on protecting him and keeping him safe. She wasnāt sure how heād managed to pass through the veil between reality and her world, but that last person whoād done it, had been Damien. He was a patient at Winterborne once, the only person Nyla had really connected with and when heād passed through the veil heād gotten stuck in her world. Then when Nyla was around because of her own emotions affecting her world heād started to change until it wasnāt him anymore and he was feeding off Nylaās darkest emotions. Sheād literally trapped and destroyed a human, turned him into a monster and she wasnāt about to let that happened again.
Once they ended up outside the church Nyla pushed the large doors open and gestured for Ryley to go in and she followed after him. Like always the inside of the church was in immaculate, while the outside made you question whether or not you should even attempt to go inside. Nyla was honest when sheād said he couldnāt touch them there, that they were safe. It was the only safe place in her world, where no one, up until this morning, could enter. She lend against one of the pews running her fingers through her long dark hair.
She flicked her eyes to the wolf. Why was he a wolf? Damien had been himself when heād crossed over. Nyla raked her eyes over him curiously. His dark blue/gray fur was nothing short of brilliant and his eyes were beautifully piercing. The only explanation she had, that made any sense was that his wolf form, was what he identified with, the truth to his personality. The was the only real sane explination she could muster.
"You shouldnāt be here." she finally said though it wasnāt harsh like she normally was it was calm and her voice was smooth like velvet. "You see, where you can see spirits. I can create dreams and make your worst nightmares come to life." she explained letting him know that he knew that his seeing spirits wasnāt just a figment of his imagination or a delusion it was very real and as much as she didnāt want to admit it she knew it the second he mentioned Parker. "You escape through them. They help you cope with your life at Winterborne. " She breathed holding his eyes, referring to what he saw āthe visionsā as his doctor referred to them as. "This is my escape." she said simply "And, somehow you managed to crossover. However, staying her to long, will drive you into insanity. There are things here that your mind could not even fathom." she spoke honestly. "The darkness will consume you, I have to get you back." she sighed.
