Semua Bab Once A Luna, Now A Stealer?: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Valencia.I can’t get it out of my head.What I saw…it cannot be. Please, don’t let it be so!Surely, I’m overthinking this. There is no way….But every time I even blink, I see the image of Callista and Theon together, strolling through the garden, smiling at each other, and talking. I try to tell myself that it's probably nothing. She just came back from the Guild, and he was asking her about her experiences. She did have quite a harrowing time. Also, he'd known her for quite a while.But I can't shake it off. When I stared at them as they strolled, I felt something wrong in my gut. And my gut I never wrong!As I step through the hallways in the castle, my mind runs back to yesterday. As soon as Theon saw her appear, he pushed me away. He had done it before too, but this time, he'd done it when he saw her.And she'd looked shocked. And hurt. Why did she look hurt?In my room, I throw my sword on my bed and sit down next to it, dragging my fingers through my hair. What did it mean? W

Callista.Staring at the crash just inches away from me, I stand with shaking legs. I can't believe it.I cannot believe that happened. If I hadn't been pushed out of the way by Haden just in time, I would've been greatly injured, or worse, dead.Next to me, Haden groans, and my attention immediately snaps to him."Haden!" I exclaim as I hold him by his arms and try to support him to stand up. "Are you alright?! Oh, Goddess, you’re bleeding so much!""Just scratched from the glass," he winces, bending on his waist so as not to make the shards that are under the skin of his back go even deeper. "What the actual hell just happened? I just heard a clink, and my instincts told me to move as soon as possible.""The chandelier came down on us," I whisper, supporting his body so as not to injure him further."Miss Leander! Gamma!" The castle staff: maids, butlers, and guards, come running, shock and worry marring their faces.They all gasp upon seeing the wreck of a chandelier, and the maid

Callista.The guard goes to work immediately, and in no time, he has all the videos from an hour ago on a screen.“Start from the most recent,” Theon says.“Yes, Alpha.”We wait with bated breath as the video starts to play."Alan, pause the video." Theon orders after a moment, voice low but firm. I’ve been on the receiving end of that voice many times before, when I was the last person Theon wanted to lay his eyes on. That tone of voice never meant anything good.“What is it, Alpha?” Alan peers at the video."Why can't I see a post? There must be a post in the footage!"We look closely at the grainy footage, and true enough, there isn't a single post to be seen. Alan plays the entire clip once more, and throughout, we can only see the balcony railing."I think the post is situated in a blind spot, Alpha," Alan replies, "We focus more on the areas that people normally move around.""Isn't there anything we can use to watch the activity around the post?" I ask."Well, I can try to find

Callista.Cautiously, I approach the bag. There had been far too many weird things happening lately that my paranoia acts on overdrive, and I won’t be taking chances with something so suspicious.As I get close, I nice, buttery scent wafting from it, and marginally relax. Pinned to the bag there is a note."Hey, I'm sorry I couldn't help you with the move. Consider these compensations until I get back :)"The note is signed by Theon.I smile. I've never seen his handwriting before, and I'm awed at how neat it looks.I open the brown paper bag to find three muffins inside. I love muffins, and my heart warms because Theon managed to find that out!They are warm, fresh from the oven, and I don’t hesitate before taking a bite.That's when I feel excruciating pain in my mouth, along with the taste of blood. As soon as I taste blood, I spit the bite of the muffin to the ground.A bloody glob smears the plush rug, and for a brief moment, I feel pity for whoever will clean the thing.That’s

Callista."You know what, I’m going to call the Headmistress and ask her if invisible people are a part of the supernatural world," I inform Theon as we sit in his office, once again sharing drinks. Him a glass of whiskey, and me a glass of ginger ale. "Because at this point, that's the only explanation I have for this whole thing. How can anyone be clever enough to erase their traces so well?”As I'd thought, we'd found nothing. The camera hadn't caught a single suspicious activity, not even someone loitering next to my door. There were the usual appearances of me and Haden, Valencia, and Kellin, the maids, butlers, and guards. And all of them went on in their own businesses."I don't know," Theon sighs. "At this point, maybe you should. Maybe we got the damned invisible man haunting the halls of the castle.""Or a ghost," I suggest. "Can ghosts hold things though? I've always believed their translucent hands sort of went through physical stuff. Does this castle have ghosts, Theon?"
