~ Aria's POV ~

I walked behind Callista as she led me to only God knows where. After I told her about the strange vampire girl who threatened me, she insisted I follow her so she could show me something, and when I asked what it was, she didn't tell.

"Where are we going, Callista?" I whispered to her as I climbed the wooden stairs behind her.

Eclipse Academy is a very huge school, and if not for the fact that I got sharp memories, it'd have been difficult to memorize the structure of this school.

"Just follow me, Aria. It's going to be for your own good" she replied, climbing further up the stairs.

Out of all the monsters in this school, she's the only one I trust, maybe a little bit, and that's why I followed her even when I didn't know where she was taking me.

"We’re finally here! Eclipse’s Book of Records," she announced, pushing open the door to a large hall.

I stepped in beside her, my eyes scanning around. It was a huge hall, and the ceiling felt like it was up in the sky.

    - Aria's POV ~After I left Raven and Thorne unconscious and barely breathing, my next target was their fathers. I wasn't going to spare them. I'd kill them the same way they killed my parents.I halted when I was only a few feet away from Alistair’s mansion. I had chosen him first because I planned to deal with Magnus in a way he would never expect.Magnus wasn’t just going to pay for killing my mother, he would pay for every ounce of suffering and torture he put me through. I wasn’t afraid of them anymore. Not now that I had grown stronger—stronger than they ever imagined.My fists clenched as I strode toward the mansion gate. But before I could reach it, something struck my face.A stone.When I snapped my head in the direction from which the stone had come, I saw Ryker standing behind a tree, signaling for me to come over.My eyebrows furrowed at his sudden appearance. After he ditched me at the eatery, I hadn't seen him until now.He gestured again with his eyes, urging me closer

    ~ Thorne's POV ~I woke up with searing pain tearing through my neck. My vision swam as I forced my eyes open, the world spinning in and out of focus. For a moment, I had no idea where I was. The last thing I remembered was Aria... her rage, her strength, and nearly beating me to death before everything went black.The whole scenario happened in the woods, so why did I suddenly find myself in an old empty room? Did Aria perhaps bring me here?Did she calm down and regret what she did to me? Was that why she brought me here? These thoughts swirled through my mind, a small smile touching my lips, but it faded when the door creaked open and Lucian entered."Lucian?" I murmured, stunned to see him. I was expecting Aria, not him."Why are you looking at me like you just saw a ghost?" he asked as he finally approached me."What are you doing here?" The words slipped out before I could stop myself, probably the dumbest question I could’ve asked."You should be thanking me... not asking quest

    ~ Aria's POV ~"What are you doing here, Raven?" Thorne asked, his hands tucked into the pockets of his shorts.I used to admire the way he did that, so casual, so effortless. Back then, it made my heart flutter. Not anymore. Now, all I felt was hatred. Hatred for the boy who had nearly sent me to my death."Didn't I tell you Skylight wasn't the one who murdered Nyx?" Raven said sharply.Thorne let out a bitter chuckle. There was no humor in it… only venom. "How long will you continue to side with that murderer?" he seethed.Raven grabbed him by the collar, fury blazing in his eyes. "You need to wake up from your delusion, Thorne! Skylight is innocent!""Say whatever you want," Thorne snapped back, shoving him away. "She clearly told me herself that she murdered Nyx. She left evidence on the wall that she killed my sister!"Evidence?My chest tightened.Had I been framed… just so Thorne would believe I murdered Nyx?"She’s missing from the dungeon my father locked her in," Thorne cont

    ~ Aria's POV ~"What did you just say?" I asked, my eyes widened in shock, as I stared at the boy who I thought was now my ally."I'm sorry... everything I had said to you from the day we met were all lies. I knew your parents. I was friends with them... I watched you grow in your mother's womb, that's how I was able to know your name was Rowena... that's how I was able to save your life, because when I went to see your parents after a long time, I saw you unconscious under the bed," Lucian said.My head spun as I tried to process his words, to force my mind to make sense of them. He knew.He fucking knew my parents were dead, and yet he never said a word. He watched me cling to hope, watched me desperately wish to see them again, and still pretended he didn’t know what had happened to them.Hot, bitter tears spilled from my eyes as I stared at Lucian. Everything he had ever done was built on lies, and I had been stupid enough to believe every word he said."I’m sorry..."I slapped hi

    ~ Aria's POV ~I screamed as I jolted awake, gasping desperately for air, my chest heaving as my entire body trembled from what I had just witnessed."Nooooo! Noooooo!! Noooooo!!!" I screamed again, my voice breaking as I squeezed my eyes shut, too terrified to open them, too afraid of what reality might show me."Aria."I heard my foster mom’s voice, shaky and panicked. "Aria, are you okay?" Her hands tapped my body gently, urgently, as if afraid I might disappear if she stopped touching me.My eyes slowly opened, and I realized where I was. I was back in Sybille's house."Aria," my mom whispered as she caressed my face.I looked at her, and thick, burning tears spilled from my eyes without warning."Mom," I whispered weakly, my voice barely holding together as my tears continued to fall."I’m here, Aria. I’m here," she said softly, wiping my tears with trembling fingers. "Why did you suddenly lose consciousness earlier?"She took a breath, steadying herself. "You were talking to Luc

    ~ Aria's POV ~I walked toward the cottage as confusion gnawed at me. My steps slowed when recognition hit—I was staring at the very cottage my parents used to live in. I had seen it countless times in my dreams, where either my mom or dad would always place me inside a woven basket. I never knew it was hidden deep within a forest.As I walked closer to the cottage, I heard the cry of a baby, a cry that sounded so much like mine. I pushed the door open, my breath hitching as I stepped inside. There, in the center of the cottage, was a woven basket… and inside it lay my infant self, crying softly.My brows furrowed. I just couldn't understand why I was suddenly seeing my younger self. Was this a trance or a dream? It couldn't possibly be a dream because I was talking to Lucian and Raven just now. A trance? Is that even possible?I tried to go closer to my infant self, and that's when the door of the cottage was pushed open. I turned around to see my mom. For the first time in my life,
