All Chapters of Eclipse Academy: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Xavier’s POV The next morning came faster than I wanted it to. I hadn’t slept much. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Angela’s markings and remembered what my mother had told me. Dragon blood might give us a chance, but only if we could get every ingredient we needed. We had already gotten the moonroot and silverleaf. Now there was only one thing standing between us and the chance to make the concoction. The Starfall crystal. I walked beside Angela through the hall, keeping my attention on everything around us. Darius was on my other side, with Steph walking slightly behind us. Silas had stayed with us until we got close to the Magic Department, but we’d already agreed he wouldn’t enter with the rest of us. He had a different job. We reached the hallway outside the Magic Department, and I slowed down. Darius noticed immediately. He stopped and looked at me. “Aren’t you going to tell me what’s going on now? Are you going to let us in on your plan?” I looked at him and smiled. “Yo

Darius’s POV What seemed like forever had to have been at least thirty or forty-five minutes. We had been standing outside the academy after the fire started, and every time the instructors thought they had finally gotten it under control, smoke would start pouring out again. Then somebody would yell that the flames had reignited, and everyone would rush back toward the building. We had been told to clear the hallway almost immediately after the fire started, but nobody really listened at first. Everyone wanted to know what had happened. Students crowded around, trying to see through the doors while instructors shouted at them to move back. Eventually, they gave up trying to keep everyone in one place. We were sent outside. I stood there with my arms crossed over my chest, watching the academy from across the courtyard while firefighters and instructors moved in and out of the building. The only thing I could think about wasn’t the fire. It was Silas. Had he gotten what we needed

Xavier’s POV I laid the instructions flat on the table and held the corners down with my hands. For a few seconds, I just stared at them. We had spent days trying to get to this point. There had been plans, arguments, risks, a fire that had gotten far more out of control than I had intended, and Silas had apparently spent breakfast with half the ingredients shoved down his pants. But somehow, every piece we needed was finally sitting on the table in front of us. The moonroot and silverleaf were already here from what we had gathered earlier. The Starfall crystal dust sat in its small container beside them, newly added to our collection thanks to Silas’s questionable method of obtaining it. A bowl of clean water waited beside the ingredients. The only thing we were missing was the part that required me. My blood. Angela stood across from me, watching as I read through the instructions again. “Tell me you know what you’re doing.” I looked up at her and smiled. “I know what the ins

Mr. Wilson’s POV Steph’s eyes widened. “Wait. Silas had one of those.” Every head in the room turned toward her. She looked around as though she had only just realized she had spoken aloud. “What?” she asked. I stared at her. “Silas had what?” She pointed toward Silas. “One of those things. I don’t remember which one, but he had something like that stuffed down his pants.” I slowly turned my attention toward Silas. He looked mortified. Xavier stepped forward before I could ask another question. “It’s a very long story, Mr. Wilson.” “I can imagine.” I looked toward Angela. She remained unconscious on the bed. That was all that mattered at that moment. “We will be discussing this entire situation.” I pointed my finger at all of them. “But right now, Angela is more important.” I turned to Silas. “Let me see the ingredients that you have.” Steph was already moving. Within seconds, she disappeared into the adjoining room. Silas looked as though he wanted the floor to open beneath hi

Xavier’s POV I hadn’t moved from Angela’s side since Mr. Wilson started preparing the stabilizer. I couldn’t. Even when my legs started aching from sitting in the same position, I stayed exactly where I was. My hand remained wrapped around hers, my thumb moving slowly across the back of it while I watched Mr. Wilson work at the table. He had the journal open beside him. Every few seconds, his eyes dropped to the page before returning to the ingredients in front of him. The room was too quiet. Nobody seemed willing to say much anymore. I couldn’t blame them. There wasn’t anything left to joke about. Angela was lying on the bed, completely still, and every time I looked at her, the same thought came back. What if I did this to her? Blaze had been unusually quiet. That scared me almost as much as everything else. “This wasn’t your fault,” he finally said inside. I stared at Angela. “You don’t know that.” I sighed and shook my head. “My blood was in the cure. So maybe that’s what we
