All Chapters of Dreamworld Escape: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

JADELYNN I just laughed at his antics instead of blushing at the thought of us truly catching up. Nope, those thoughts had to remain safely within my own mind. Thad was my dream guy. He was sexy as hell, hilarious, intelligent, and had a heart of gold. He could have any girl he wanted, but he never gave into their flirtations. Another reason why many of the females hated my guts. They blamed me because he would rather hang out with me than deal with them. Was that really on me though? It was not my fault that he hated desperation and the smell of skank. Thad had quite the following given that he was the star Quarterback. However, he could not care less about all that. He preferred to give his attention to those he felt deserved it. The Geek Squad was a great example of that. Nobody understood why he hung out here when he could hang out with the cheer-whores and jocks. That was why they would never be able to understand who Thad actually was. He was genuine and could not be bought. O

JADELYNN Pauline had been avoiding me like the plague since Monday. It was now a glorious Wednesday, and I felt great about it. She realized that she was treading dangerous waters with me. Perhaps others would not fall underneath her boots anymore. It was too much to hope for, but who knew what the future held. Pauline used the same tactics to get others to follow her rules: intimidation, fear, and bullying. I became the voice for those who were too afraid to speak up against her, and I would never give up being the voice for those who needed it in life. “World peace,” Thad said with the best Miss America voice and a smirk. The past hour was spent on interview prep, but I felt no closer to being prepared for it. You would think that I would feel more prepared but nope. We were nestled on the couch at the Java Javs since I was not scheduled to work until Monday. My head was in his lap while he played with my hair. It was something he knew relaxed me which I needed right now with th

JADELYNN “Mom,” I called out once I got home from school. I had completely forgotten to let my parents know that I had a date tonight. It was a date that I was thoroughly excited for. Thad and I were able to slip back into our normal routine as if there had not been a break last year at all. We were giving ourselves a clean do-over, and it was exactly what we needed. I found her in the kitchen, furiously typing away on her keyboard. She worked her ass off to get where she was today, and I could not have been any prouder of her. I really looked up to her and longed to be even half of the badass woman that she was. Mom was a PR guru for a tech company. Most people expected her to fall on her ass, but that just made her work even harder to prove that she had what it took to get the job done properly. It did not take long before everyone was eating their assumptions. “Hey, baby. What’s up?” she asked, pausing what she was doing to give me her undivided attention. I grabbed a water fro

JADELYNN It was oddly satisfying to float along a ribbon of reds, blues, and yellows. The colorful ribbon could extend on for eternity, but sadly the end drew nearer. My body began dropping, that feeling right between dreaming and wakefulness. That feeling that everyone hated before their body was plunged into reality. It took a minute for the feeling to subside before I could open my eyes. I must still have been sleeping because the walls in the room were white instead of lavender. Confusion swept through me when my body refused to take me back to my room and back to my own reality. I fell asleep in Thad’s arms as he held me tightly and ensuring that everything would be okay. Thad was not here. That was when I remembered him explaining to me about the warnings that the feelings were. I had them so intensely. Now, I was not with him. My body sprang up quickly, causing my head to spin. Everything was different. It was not just the walls. A plain white bedspread replaced my silver on

CAMDEN Dominique used a portal to place Dent and I a couple of towns over from the Murphy’s home. It was possible that Vanosti was still keeping tabs on their house, so this was to minimize standing out. We needed to keep him in the dark about our involvement in order to protect her. That was why it was only Dent and I going in. If anything, we looked like the average people who would be checking in on a worried family. Dent was kind enough to drive while I reread the case notes from the initial sweep of the premises. There were many interesting details in it that did not fully add up to paint the picture that I needed. Two places had traces of his magical essence. Magical essence was the calling card which showed the specific DNA of his magic and was just as unique as his actual DNA was. The power that he collected simply enhanced the magical essence instead of altering it. It was the same way that Dominique’s was specific to her as well. A fingerprint of the essence was left behin
