Lila’s POV

“Why did we have to have a meeting so early,” Kay yawned, looking as if she was about to fall asleep

on the table.

“Because this is important,” Sarah surprised me by saying. “Scott can’t go down for something he didn’t

do. It’s not right.”

I saw Brody tensing from beside her; he didn’t like that his mate was standing up for another guy like

that and I couldn’t blame him. I would feel weird if Enzo did the same as well; I know I felt weird when

Connie was around. But now Connie had her own mate to obsess over, and I couldn’t be happier.

In fact, they would be here in a week for a visit, and I was excited to see her.

Scott and Sarah had a thing though and I know it’s still fresh and weird for Brody.

“That’s real rich coming from you.” Rachel muttered, folding her arms across her chest. “Wasn’t you

that manipulated him into vandalizing the art studio and then had him take the entire blame?”

Sarah’s face reddened.

“That wasn’t murder, bit ch,” Sarah hissed. “At most, he would have gotten a slap on his wrist.”

“He got jailed for 2 months,” Rachel said in return, furrowing her brows together.

“He was stored in the nicest cell in my father’s jailhouse” Sarah retorted. ‘It was hardly anything. It was

practically a vacation.”

“His father had to pay a lot of money to Cassidy-An n,” Rachel growled in return.

“He’s rich; he could afford it,” Sarah said, slapping the table with the palms of her hands.

“Fighting isn’t going to help him,” I said loudly, silencing them all. “Sarah is right, this is important, and

murder doesn’t compare to vandalism. Though, that wasn’t right either,” I added that last part while

glaring at Sarah who shrunk back in her seat with a red face.

“Being stuck in the past isn’t something we should be doing right now,” Brody said, giving me a pointed

look.

“And you are right,” I said in return. “I called this meeting because I wanted to be honest with you guys

about something.”

I looked around the table and saw all their concerned faces.

“What’s going on?” Becca asked, a/worried frown decorating her lips.

“I think I know why Scott confessed to murdering those people,” I said, and I paused when I heard an

echo of gasps around the room.

“What?” Sarah asked, raising her brows.

“Then we should report it and get my boy out of jail,” Matt said with determination written all over his

face. I had forgotten Matt and Brody were on the same team as Scott.

“It’s not that simple,” I said, sighing. “We don’t exactly have the proof.”

“Well, why did he confess?” Luis asked.

“Because his mind was taken over,” I said simply.

On that note, everybody turned to look at Sarah with a dumbfounded expression.

“Hey, I’m here to prove myself and get back on everybody good gracious,” she said, folding her arms

across her chest. “I didn’t do anything.”

“It wasn’t Sarah,” I quickly jumped in.

“And how do we know that exactly?” Rachel asked, narrowing her eyes at me.

“Because it was darkness,” I blurted.

They all stared at me with confused looks.

“Darkness?” Luis asked. “How is that possible?”

I sighed.

“Darkness has been conjured and it’s at this school,” I told them. “I’m not sure how it was summoned or

why it’s at this school, but It’s here.”

“Is that the reason why we lost our powers for a day?” Kay asked; I could hear the fear in her voice.

“I think so,” I answered honestly.

“Darkness?” Luis repeated; I looked at him and saw that all the color on his face had drained and he

sat frozen.

He was in a state of shock.

“Yes,” I answered again. “You should have seen the dark look Scott gave me yesterday. His eyes were

filled. with darkness. He wasn’t himself.”

“Darkness can get in our heads,” Kay breathed, staring down at her hands. “Easily.”

“It would make sense,” Sarah said, looking at me. “I mean, why else would Brody, a wolf, drink blood

and eat a heart.”

“Was Merida a virgin?” Kay asked, surprising all of us.

“What?” I asked, raising my brows at her.

“I never saw her with a guy,” Sarah shrugged. “So, probably. But why does that matter?”

“Because it would make sense for darkness to consume her heart if she was a virgin,” Kay answered,

meeting my eyes.

“The heart of purity” I breathed. “Darkness needs the heart and blood of purity to survive.”

“Like a sacrifice?” Becca asked, glancing at Luis and then back at Kay. “What do you know about

darkness, Kay?”

“I just know that once it’s conjured, it’s hard to destroy. It needs a sacrifice to remain strong. It will

continue to take sacrifices until it’s no longer.needed on this earth and goes back to wherever it came

from. Whoever conjured it, is using it for a purpose.”

My heart felt heavy as I listened to them talking.

“How do we get rid of it?” Becca asked.

“Light,” Kay answered.

“Of course,” Becca breathed. “If there’s light, there’s no darkness.”

“But if there’s darkness, there’s no light,” Luis stated.

“There will always be one or the other. But as long as we hold the light in our hearts, it can’t hurt us. If it

can’t hurt us, it will disperse. We would be too strong for it,” Kay explained.

“So, we get a bunch of flashlights and wave them around like swords?” Sarah asked.

“Not exactly,” Kay said, giving her a pointed look. “We need more light than that.”

“I don’t think it’s literal light we need,” I breathed, making them all look at me. “If it was that easy, the

guardian of the earth would be able to stop them with their light orbs.”

“Her children’s barrier certainly helps; it weakens the darkness, but darkness is a powerful force, and it

won’t stay weak for long unless it’s theoretically destroyed,” Kay explained.

“I thought you said it can’t be destroyed,” Matt pointed out.

“It can’t, but it can be scared off,” Kay answered. “Darkness will always exist, just as light will always

exist.”

“Wait, you mentioned the orb barrier. Can you see them too?” I asked, raising my brows.

Nobody else seemed to have noticed or mentioned the barrier; Kay was the first one to point the barrier

out.

She smiled and nodded.

“Of course, I’m a forest fairy. We work closely with the guardian of the earth and her children. We have

the honor of being protected by my favorite of her children who represents the element water, Celeste.”

“You know Celeste?” I asked, surprised.

“She’s wonderful, isn’t she?” Kay said beaming. “Of course, all four of them are wonderful. But I always

felt a connection with Celeste.”

“The others represent the other elements?” Becca asked.

She nodded.

“Gala represents spirit, Trinity, represents fire, Opal represents air, Celeste represents water, and of

course the guardian mother represents earth.”

“And only Celeste is here?” Luis asked. “Where are the others?”

This was a question that I answered.

“They are protecting other parts of the region,” I said, turning their attention to me. “Me and some

others. are the ones who summoned them to protect us against darkness. Only one of the orbs can

protect a region at a time. Celeste is protecting all Higala.”

“It’s not doing a great job at protecting against darkness,” Skylar yawned; I had almost forgotten she

was

here.

She was quiet; she looked pale and exhausted. I knew that meant the sun was rising. Vampires found it

difficult to stay awake when the sun was up.

“If darkness is here, then what’s the point of the barrier?” Skylar continued to ask.

“It keeps out and destroys dark magic.” Kay explained. “Which is how we got our powers back. It was

dark magic that took them away and once the barrier was placed the dark magic was destroyed and

our powers were restored. But it can’t destroy darkness; that’s a different kind of magic. However,

darkness doesn’t like the barrier, so it’ll weaken.”

She paused for a moment to gather her thoughts.

“If darkness really did take someone’s mind, then it’s strong even within the barrier. Which means it has

a tool to strengthen it,” Kay continued.

“A tool?” Becca asked, raising her brows.

I rubbed my naked wrist, feeling dizzy.

“A moonstone,” I whispered.

“Yeah, that would do it,” Kay said, glancing at me. “Wait, how did you know that? Did Celese say

something?”

“She told me the same thing you did,” I told her. “My moonstone bracelet is missing so I’m assuming

whoever darkness took over found my bracelet.”

They were all silently staring at me with shock.

Rachel stood to her feet almost knocking over her chair.

“I forgot, I have to be somewhere,” she said, grabbing her things and shoving them into her backpack.

“I should get to bed,” Skylar yawned. “I’m exhausted.”

“Okay; we will meet again soon,” I told them.

Everyone started to pack their things.

I wanted to ask Rachel where she needed to go in such a hurry, but when I looked back in her

direction, I

was surprised to see she was already gone. I frowned at the closing doorway and then looked back at

Becca’s equally confused face.

She gave me a one-shoulder shrug before turning to Luis to say something to him. He grinned as he

packed her things.

I looked at Brody and Sarah who were also talking to one another privately. Then I glanced at Kay who

was being hit on by Matt. It made me smile to see all these budding relationships around me, but it

made me miss Enzo desperately.

“Enzo…” I said in a mindlink hoping that he was close enough to hear me.

I was relieved when I heard his voice.

“I just got back to campus; I came to pick you up. We need to get back to my pack. Can you meet me

in the parking lot? There’s someone with me that wants to speak with you.”
