Intertwined: Chapter 14 – by Caro

Aden could hear a voice calling him from far away. Where was he? What moment in time had Eve taken him to? A doctor was in front of him, it was Dr. Gray and Aden was eleven years old. It was curious how Aden had had a connection with Mary Ann even before they got to know each other. Dr. Gray was his doctor in this institution from his past, but Aden couldn’t remember what had happened then.

After all Eve was right, they did know Mary Ann from the past, but could Aden talk to Dr. Gray about it? What if it changed something in the future and he never got to meet her or Victoria? What if he ended in another place? He liked Crossroads and so did the souls. Aden tried to act as normal as possible but he was so curious to know about Mary Ann.
