He could see that even she didn't feel that her reasoning was good enough, that it might've beendifferent had Sasha survived. He sighed, glancing at the notepad and then nodding to it.
"What did you write?"
Lennox looked at her paper. "Hidden beneath are the answers you seek, just inside the shallows of the creek, but as you enter you must beware, rest assured your friends won't be spared."
She looked up as she finished reading, and Caleb and Skye stared at her as Jay frowned.
"Well that's not creepy at all."
"It's another riddle, from the manor."
Skye said looked at him as he raised an eyebrow.
"She's dreaming in riddles now?"
"That's what happened to Kaila."
Caleb reminded us. Jay narrowed his eyes.
"Right, you all had something different. Night terrors, voices, mirrors, hypnosis, and sleepwalking. But now Lennox has the voices?"
"It doesn't make any sense." Skye shook her head as Caleb looked at her.
"That came to you in your dream didn't it?"
"I don't know what it means, but I have to figure it out."
She looked between them, but when she saw Jay's eyebrow raised she corrected herself. "When I'm better. I have to figure it out, when I'm better."
"Actually, you're not gonna be figuring anything out. Your dad is keeping you on lockdown here at the hospital until your levels come up."
"He's what? But my vitals are fine,"
"Not your vitals, your levels. You have deficiencies in your vitamins, he's prescribing you supplements while you're hooked up to the line, it'll take a while for you to be better."
"Well how long is a while?"
"A few days, minimum." He watched her as she sighed frustratedly.
When his phone rang he checked it and then stepped back to leave as he answered it. "Jay."
