# Chapter 34: The Crow, the Bite, and the Silent Plea
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 34 of "Forget You Saw Her free digital audiobook." This is a chapter that crawls under your skin, because it takes place in the fragile hours between sleep and waking—where nightmares are not just fears, but warnings. Sabina is about to learn that the dead may speak in dreams, and that a photograph can hide a truth too terrible to see at first glance.
The chapter opens with Sabina trapped in a night of restless, wind-whipped sleep. The gusts outside are so fierce that neighborhood dogs howl all night, and every time Sabina falls back asleep, the nightmares begin again. Maybe it was a mistake to drift off while staring at Isabel Palphreyman's photo. In the first dream, Isabel's eyes snap open on the computer screen. Her mouth goes slack, her chest heaves in a silent gasp, and she begins mouthing something over and over—a wordless plea that Sabina cannot understand. Sabina leans closer and closer until Isabel's face dissolves into blurry pixels. Isabel's eyes are bright blue, matching the streaks in her hair, but the whites are red and bloodshot. She has been weeping. She is desperate. And Sabina knows, with a dread that climbs higher every second, that if she does not listen to Isabel, nobody else will.
Then a crash outside—maybe a garbage can tumbling in the wind—wrenches Sabina awake. Her heart hammers. She tries to coax the dream back, tossing and turning until exhaustion pulls her under again. But the second dream is worse. This time Sabina is back at the underpass, studying Marlie from the roadside. Only Marlie is not Marlie anymore. She is Andrea, wearing a filthy red sweatshirt, her hair long and matted. Sabina opens her mouth to call Andrea's name, dizzy with relief that she has finally found her—but what comes out is a hoarse squawk. She looks down and sees silky black feathers. She is a crow.
Andrea turns, grins, and tosses a peanut toward her. The smile is wide and beautiful, and Sabina realizes she has never seen a grown-up smile on Andrea's face before. She wants to memorize it, but Andrea is already flipping through a magazine. For a moment the scene is almost peaceful: sunlight around the underpass, Andrea sitting alone. Then Andrea sets the magazine down and pushes back the tarp covering her shelter. Sabina cranes her crow-neck, hoping to glimpse the dirty backpack with IZZY scrawled across the white patch. Instead, the dream tilts into horror.
Inside the shelter, Isabel is curled on her side, bloodshot eyes staring out in a desperate plea. Her head is cocked at a strange angle, as if her neck has been broken. Andrea does not seem to notice. She pulls a T-shirt from a pile and lets the tarp fall. Sabina tries to fly toward her, but only another caw escapes. "Jasper, what's gotten into you?" Andrea asks, holding out another peanut. Her voice is deeper and softer than Sabina imagined. But Sabina is already wheeling backward, flapping furiously, because Isabel is not lying on the sleeping bag as she first thought. The reason Isabel's head is at such a strange angle is that it is propped against someone's leg.
Dennis Beaumont.
He grins from where he kneels and peels back the tarp so Sabina can see his bulky frame. Andrea glances at him, unfazed, then reaches toward his mouth with a shelled peanut. "No, baby!" Sabina tries to scream. "No, no, no!" But all she can do is caw. Dennis takes the peanut between his lips, his sharp gray eyes fixed on Sabina. With one hand, he strokes Isabel's choppy blue hair. Isabel cringes but does not move. He has her body pinned between his knees. Her lips move in a silent flurry of words, again and again. Then, as Andrea draws her hand away, Dennis darts forward and takes Andrea's finger in his teeth. Andrea shrugs helplessly at Sabina as he bites down hard—his lips turning red as they slice down to bone with a sickening crunch.
Sabina launches herself at him, talons outstretched. Isabel's mouth keeps working soundlessly. Dennis lets go of Andrea's bloody finger, and before Sabina can reach his face, he puts both hands on Isabel's head and twists. A sickening crack splits the muffled chaos. Isabel's mouth stops moving. Her face goes slack. Andrea screams. And Sabina wakes again—gasping, terrified, the laptop still glowing inches from her face.
She sits up and pulls the laptop closer. She studies Isabel's slack mouth, trying to remember the motion it made. Then it clicks. As she enlarges the photo and imagines the shape of Isabel's lips, the words finally form: "Look at me. Look at me." Full-body chills crawl over Sabina. She wraps the tangled comforter tighter around her sweaty body and does exactly that. She looks at Isabel. Really looks.
What she sees makes the air rush from her lungs like a kick to the chest. There are strange bruises near Isabel's mouth on the left side of her face. They form a semi-circular pattern that ends at her bottom lip. At first, Sabina might have dismissed them as lividity, dirt, or scuffs from living on the streets. But the marks are consistent in spacing, moving from larger to smaller. They look like a human bite mark.
This is the kind of chapter that makes your stomach drop. It is not just a nightmare sequence—it is Sabina's subconscious putting together pieces she has been refusing to see. Isabel was not only afraid. She may have been held, silenced, bitten, and killed. And Dennis Beaumont is at the center of the image.
## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
This chapter is a masterclass in dread. The dream logic is terrifying because it feels both surreal and precise—Sabina as a crow, Andrea feeding a predator, Isabel trapped and mouthing the same words until the truth finally breaks through. The reveal of the bite mark is quietly devastating. It turns a photograph into evidence and a nightmare into a clue. I was holding my breath by the end.
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.9 / 5 Stars
## Next Chapter Prediction
Sabina will not be able to unsee that bite mark. I predict she will either confront someone with the photo, dig deeper into Dennis Beaumont's past, or try to find Andrea before anyone else gets hurt. The next chapter may bring a dangerous confrontation, a new piece of evidence, or the horrifying realization that Dennis knows he is being watched. The nightmare may be over, but the real horror is only beginning.
