All Chapters of Eclipse Academy: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Angela’s POV By the time lunch finally rolled around, I was starving. It had been hours since first period, but the scene in Ancient History still clung to me like an annoying little cloud. Every classroom I’d walked into since then had been exactly the same. Someone would glance my way, lean over to whisper to the person beside them, and then they’d both look back at me like I’d suddenly grown a second head. I honestly didn’t understand what the big deal was. All I’d done was read a few symbols. Sure, nobody else in class had been able to, but Mr. Wilson had been teaching me after school for weeks. Wasn’t the whole point of taking lessons to eventually learn something? “You’ve got that look again.” Steph’s voice pulled me from my thoughts as we stepped into the crowded hallway with everyone else making their way toward the cafeteria”What look?” I asked, genuinely confused. She smirked. “The one that says you’re overthinking. You’ve been staring at the same trophy case for at lea

Xavier’s POV I was practically dragging Angela down the hallway. She wasn’t exactly making it easy either. Every few steps she dug her heels into the floor just enough to make me work harder, while Blaze laughed so hard I was beginning to regret ever waking him up this morning. He rattled off something in Dragon Tongue that I didn’t understand. “Yeah, that’s helpful,” I muttered under my breath. His laughter only grew louder. Angela suddenly planted both feet firmly on the floor. “Nope. You’re stopping now.” She folded her arms across her chest and stared at me with that stubborn expression I’d already become far too familiar with. “I can walk perfectly fine on my own.” I let go of her wrist with an exaggerated sigh before rolling my eyes. “You’re impossible.” She smirked. “There it is again,” she said proudly. “You rolled your eyes.” “I do that because you are way too hard to deal with.” Silas chuckled behind us while Steph covered her mouth, trying and failing to hide her l

Angela’s POV I was still swaying slightly from Silas moving us so fast. Every single time he used that vampire speed, it left me feeling like my stomach had been tossed into a blender. My feet were firmly planted on the ground, yet the world still refused to stop spinning. I rubbed my forehead and took a slow breath before looking around the area. Students stood in clusters across the lawn, everyone talking at once while sirens echoed in the distance. A steady stream of fire trucks rolled onto campus with their lights flashing, pulling alongside the academy building one after another. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Xavier heading toward us. Instinctively, I looked behind him. Mr. Wilson wasn’t there. I frowned. Wasn’t an instructor supposed to leave the classroom with their students? Weren’t they responsible for making sure everyone made it outside safely? Maybe he was helping someone else. That had to be it. Xavier stopped beside us, though his attention immediately shi

Angela’s POV I couldn’t stop looking around as we made our way back toward the academy. Students filled the walkways, laughing and talking now that the fire alarm had been declared a false alarm, but I barely noticed any of them. My attention kept drifting from one group to another, searching for one person in particular. Mr. Wilson. He should’ve been out here somewhere. Every instructor was making sure their students had made it outside safely before everyone was allowed back into the building. That was their job. So where was he? I slowed my pace just enough to glance across the courtyard again. Nothing. Not even a glimpse of him. Maybe I had imagined seeing him earlier. That would explain why he seemed to disappear every time I looked his way. “You still looking for him?” Silas asked quietly as he fell into step beside me. I nodded my head once. “Doesn’t it seem strange? Mr. Wilson.” I glanced over my shoulder one last time. “He was with Xavier when everyone came outside, bu

Angela’s POV Something felt… Wrong. I frowned before I even opened my eyes. My pillow wasn’t uncomfortable, and I hadn’t slept in some weird position, but something definitely felt different. I slowly blinked awake and stretched beneath the blankets. The room was quiet except for the faint hum of the air conditioner and the occasional muffled voice drifting through the dorm hallway. I rolled onto my side. “Ow.” I rubbed my left ear without thinking. The tip felt sore. I frowned. “What the…” Still half asleep, I rubbed it again. “Ow.” That actually hurt. I sat up in bed and reached for the other ear. “Ow.” Now both of them hurt. “Seriously?” I shuffled out of bed, still trying to convince myself I’d simply slept funny. My feet dragged across the floor as I wandered toward the bathroom. I flipped on the light, squinting against the brightness before looking up into the mirror. I froze. “No.” I leaned in closer. “No… no, no, no.” My heart skipped a beat. Both ears ended in elegant
