\u201cWe must, do you understand? The Local Mother is testing him, testing his grip on you. We can try to break free\u2014but not yet, Devin. Not until after he\u2019s passed the test.\u201d Devin opened his mouth, found he couldn\u2019t speak. His mouth filled with bitterness. He swallowed, on the verge of gagging. He saw her point.<\/p>\n

If they could break free of Bertram\u2014if\u2014they stood a chance of fulfilling the major\u2019s plan, the same as if Devin had taken a delayed-absorption antiviral. They could break out the others, somehow, and make for the Gyrfalcon. Maybe it was one shot in a million, a fool\u2019s errand, but it was a chance. A chance that required Becca, the real Becca, to be hurt. Beaten. With Devin\u2019s own hands. In the distance, a bird cried, lonely and shrill. \u201cNo,\u201d Devin said, so quietly it was almost inaudible.<\/p>\n

The dream Becca stiffened against him. \u201cDevin\u2026\u201d \u201cNo,\u201d he repeated, louder this time. \u201cI understand\u2014we can\u2019t stop him. We have to let him hurt her. But I want to be there. Even if I\u2019m helpless. Even if all I can do is watch.\u201d She turned her face up to look at him. \u201cBut why?\u201d \u201cBecause it matters,\u201d he said, struggling for words. \u201cShe shouldn\u2019t be alone. I should be with her, even if she doesn\u2019t know I\u2019m there.<\/p>\n

Do you understand?\u201d She shook her head, the smallest of motions. \u201cIt\u2019s too much risk.\u201d Gently, Devin held her at arm\u2019s length. He saw it now, how she differed from the real Becca. Maybe it was the influence of Devin\u2019s own mind; he didn\u2019t know. But fear weighed on this Becca like steel around her neck.<\/p>\n

The Becca Devin had fallen in love with was different. She lived for breakneck speeds and death-defying heights. Danger fuelled her; fear made her move and fight and reach for the stars. \u201cThe risk,\u201d he told the dream aspect of Becca, \u201cis exactly why I have to go back.\u201d \u201cI don\u2019t understand.\u201d \u201cYou said it yourself\u2014breaking free of Bertram, it\u2019s nearly impossible. I can feel him, now, I think\u2014a terrifying weight above us, beyond the sky. Waiting. \u201cIf we\u2019re to have any chance at all\u2026<\/p>\n
