WILLA
"The anatomy," Steven said, grabbing a pen and sheet of paper from the desk.
I had decided to tell them the truth. Well… part of it. Not about me being Willa or from another world.
I doubted any of that would make sense to them. If anything, it would only make me sound completely insane.
No one would believe me anyway. Not when I looked exactly like Elyse.
But the monster? That part was real.
And for now, the conversation had been going surprisingly well. Neither Steven nor Whitney looked at me like I was losing my mind.
For the first time since arriving here, I felt like someone might actually be able to help me.
Whitney had promised they would.
Trusting people had never come easily to me, but somehow, I trusted her.
Maybe it was instinct. Maybe my heart simply wanted to believe Elyse's parents wouldn't hurt me.
"The anatomy, Elyse," Steven repeated patiently. "That's the only way I can help identify it. If we search the monster database, we might find something."
