HAZEL POVfound Maria in the music room during lunch break, just like Amy said I would. Her fingers moved gracefully over the piano keys, playing something that sounded sad and beautiful at the same time. I stood in the doorway, not wanting to interrupt her. The way she played, eyes closed and completely lost in the music, made me wonder if this was the only time she truly felt free.When the last note faded away, I clapped softly. Maria jumped, spinning around on the piano bench. Her eyes went wide when she saw me, and she immediately started gathering her sheet music."Please don't stop," I said quickly. "That was beautiful. What were you playing?"Maria hesitated, her hands clutching the music sheets. "Chopin. Nocturne in E-flat major," she answered quietly, looking down at her feet."Could I listen to more?" I asked, taking a careful step into the room. "I've always wished I could play piano."She glanced up at me, suspicious. "Don't you usually eat lunch with Amy and Lucian?""Ye

HAZEL I ran after Maria but she was also fast, her dark hair streaming behind her as she fled. But the wolf inside me was faster. "Maria, stop! Please!" My voice bounced off the walls, but she only ran harder in panic. She veered suddenly, pushing through the double doors into the east wing – the old section of the school that was under renovation. Warning signs and yellow tape blocked most of the corridor, but Maria went under them without hesitation. The smell of fresh paint and sawdust filled my nose as I followed. Construction tarps hung like ghostly curtains, billowing slightly in the draft from our passage. Maria's footsteps grew more frantic as she realized she was running out of options. The corridor ahead was blocked by scaffolding, and when she tried the door to her right, it was locked. She spun to face me, pressing herself against the wall. In the dim light filtering through the plastic-covered windows, her face was filled with fear and betrayal. "Don't come any close

HAZELI paced nervously in Art room later that day, trying to figure out how to explain everything to Lucian without revealing the supernatural truth. He sat on a desk chair, arms crossed, clearly frustrated at being left out earlier."So," he said, his voice carefully neutral, "are you finally going to tell me what Maria said after you sent me away?"I exchanged a quick glance with Amy, who was perched on her bed. We had carefully rehearsed our edited version of events."Maria witnessed what happened the night Gracia died," I began slowly. "She followed her sister to the park because she was upset about a broken promise."Lucian leaned forward, his eyes intense. "And?""She saw Gracia and Darryl together," Amy continued. "They were attacked by someone... someone who seemed to know them. A man – large, incredibly strong. He….He attacked Darryl first, knocked him unconscious.""Then he killed Gracia while Darryl was out?" Lucian's voice was gentle, understanding how difficult this was

HAZELMy hands trembled as I connected the hard drive to Amy's laptop. We sat in her car, parked in a quiet corner of the mall parking lot, hearts racing with anticipation."Are you sure you want to watch this?" Amy asked softly. "We know it's going to be..." She didn't finish the sentence. She didn't have to.I nodded, double-clicking on the first video file. "We need to know exactly what it shows before we take it to the police."The footage was grainy, typical of security cameras from eight years ago. At first, there was nothing – just an empty park path lit by scattered lampposts. Then movement caught our attention. Two figures walked into frame, and my heart clenched. Gracia and Darryl, so young, so unaware of what was about to happen."There," Amy pointed at the screen. "Something's moving in the shadows."I leaned closer, squinting at the dark shape that seemed to come from nowhere. The attack happened so fast – one moment Darryl and Gracia were walking, the next Darryl was fly

DARRYL POVThe morning sun felt different on my skin after weeks in that cell. Standing outside the prison with Hazel in my arms, I could barely process that I was finally free. But the weight of what I needed to tell her pressed against my chest like a stone."Hazel," I started, pulling back slightly to look into her eyes. "There's something you need to know about Lucian—""DARRYL!" The familiar voice cut through the moment. Lucian came bounding across the parking lot, his grin plastered across his face. Before I could react, he pulled me into a crushing hug that felt genuine—too genuine for someone who had orchestrated my imprisonment."Man, it's so good to see you out!" Lucian exclaimed, stepping back but keeping his hands on my shoulders. "We've been working non-stop to prove your innocence.""We sure have," Hazel agreed warmly. "Lucian was instrumental in helping us find the security footage."I fought to keep my expression neutral as my mind raced. The security footage that pro
