The Prophecy (The Guardians)
“It didn’t help that Gabe had delusions that everyone recognized him. He was sure the whispers he heard as he passed the strangers were about him. The paranoia began after the harsh conversation he had shared with Sophie. Gabe kept imagining everyone staring at him, thinking things like, “There goes the coward of Rampart,” or “And he was supposed to be the chosen one? What a disappointment.” In the fog his face was hidden and the imaginary voices quieted.
Rounding the corner, entering the great hall, Gabe slowed only for a moment. His thoughts were now consumed with Sophie’s words from the day before.
