Chapter 0490 Rachel chewed the inside of her cheek, wincing as pain coursed through her body but she made no movement to hunch over and scream like she wanted to. She was thankful the girls couldn’t see the darkness leaving Rachel’s body like .
Rachel could see it.
When she got back to her dorm, she was pleased to see that Becca was in her room and Alex was sleeping on the couch. His phone rested over his chest and heavy snores left his nose, making Rachel roll her eyes.
She disliked this guard; she found him arrogant and annoying. She didn’t just feel that way because of the darkness that consumed her; she felt this way long before that. She snuck into Lila’s bedroom; she kept the light off, just in case. Which was fine because she could see fine in the dark; especially since she
i was consumed by this darkness. It heightened her senses and made her "more capable; and stronger. \ She knew this bracelet that the voice spoke of; she saw Lila wearing it all the time. The idea of Lila not wearing it currently seemed ridiculous, but she had to check anyway. \ Lila’s wooden and beautifully engraved jewelry box sat on her dresser across the room. Another wave of pain coursed through her, making her grip the bed and gasp out in short and quick breaths.

“Not yet...” Rachel said in a horse whisper.
“You are running out of time; hurry!” Rachel wasn’t sure what would happen once time ran out, but she certainly did not want to find out. She went toward the
+ jewelry box and opened it. Lila had a bunch of fancy jewelry, many pearls and gemstones along with many chains of different lengths and colors. pol As she rummaged her fingers traced along something that instantly soothed some of the pain she felt and calmed the darkness down. She sighed in relief as she { pulled out the moonstone bracelet, | smiling as the darkness slithered its way through her mind and wrapped around » her brain once again.
The agonizing pain eased.
Then, the door of the bedroom swung open, and the light turned on, making Rachel freeze.
Lila’s POV “Rachel?” I asked as I went into my room.
Rachel stood over my jewelry box, the
one my mother had given me before I left for college, and my mother’s jewelry lay scattered across my dresser.
I furrowed my brows together, very confused, and extremely tired.
“What are you doing in here?” I asked, narrowing my eyes at her. i “I was looking for something,” she said, giving me an innocent smile. “I thought maybe you had it, but I guess not.” “Why would I have something of yours?” I asked, looking at her pointedly.
“I’m not saying you stole it. I thought maybe you found it and thought it was yours,” she said, forcing an awkward laugh. “I didn’t mean to intrude. I did knock first, but you weren't here.” She quickly placed my jewelry back into the box before turning to face me.

“Did you check with Becca?” 1 asked, yawning as I made my way to my bed. I didn’t mind her being in my room, I was ¥ just a little thrown off and I feel a bit invaded. But I was too tired to think about it right now.
“I will check with her right now,” Rachel said as she made her way out of my roorn.
“I’ll see you tomorrow.” She shut the door behind her without saying another word. I furrowed my brows together as I stared at the closed door. I had a weird feeling that she wasn’t telling me something, but I just wanted to sleep.
I sat up in bed and stripped off my clothing before grabbing my pajamas that lay on my dresser. I went to take off my bracelets and frowned when I realized I had forgotten to put them. I usually wore my mother’s moonstone bracelet which she told me is good for protection I shrugged it off; I must have left it in my
jewelry box.
I went toward my bed and lay down. I py sighed, feeling my entire body relaxing and sleep creeping around the corner.
It didn’t take long for sleep to completely consume me and my mind drifted off into a peaceful darkened state. =
