Chapter 33-Crazy Dynamic!
Kaye:
I knew I had to repeat myself, even louder this time, and explain to my brother the plan that had been brewing in my mind all along.
"I’m going into the Dream Prison," I repeated, noticing how clueless my brother seemed.
"Huh?" He tilted his head, slowly standing up and setting the bottle and glasses aside as he walked toward me again. I knew he would try to stop me, but I was determined to go through with it.
It was my responsibility to keep these cursed roses away from my people, and instead, I had failed miserably.
"I’m doing it," I said more firmly this time. He shook his head in response, his expression hardening.
"You’ve lost your mind. I won’t allow this. Norman trusted me with this duty. He knew the moment he left, you’d try to convince me too. So no! I’m not letting it happen," he said sternly, coming closer, standing right in front of me as if daring me to try and head toward the bed to begin the dream-travel process.
"Maximus! If you respect my decision, you’ll let me do this. I need to go in there and bring her out—" I was tired of the back-and-forth. I was an adult capable of making my own choices. The mere thought of someone suffering because of me was unbearable. How on earth did Norman expect me to go on living as if nothing had happened?
"No! Are you serious? You don’t even know how it works," Maximus argued, standing so close as if to block any attempt I might make to lie down. Then his eyes fell on the envelope I was holding, and he realized what he had to stop me.
