Pero bago pa ako nakaalis ay narinig ko ang malakas na pagbuntong hininga ni Hugo. ✏ ✏ ✏ Biyernes at bagot na bagot ako habang nakikinig sa President namin na si Jam. Nagdidiscuss siya about sa darating na intramurals next week. Ng namimili ng representative sa Mr.and Ms. Intramurals ay si Drew at Farrah ang napili. Sinubukan pa akong inominate ng kaklase kong isa pero inawat siya ni Paul na kaklase ko noong Highschool.

"Theros, mabuti naisipan mong magparamdam— "Raven, si Dawn 'to." Saglit na natahimik ang kabilang linya kaya inakala kong naputol ang tawag. "Dawn. Why are you using Theros' phone?"

"I uh- I think Julian should take this one." Julian lifted his head in surprise, but made no comment on her efforts. He nodded in her direction, as if to thank her, and then he cleared his throat to speak. "Right, well… As I stated, I've been around the coven and I can confirm that Demitri has become a day walker since- oh, you know." "Yeah, I second this. It wasn't just the edge of the night when he threatened me earlier, this was broad daylight." Harley agreed.

Even the government stepped in and made a public statement. Their stock price plummeted overnight, and their investors turned on each other like rabid dogs, clawing for scraps. In just a few days, Nelson Corporation officially declared bankruptcy. Meanwhile, I lay back in my hospital bed, leisurely recovering from my injuries. Jasmine walked in. Her usual sharpness flashed across her eyes as she said, “Evan, you’re really something. While I’m out here, running around and putting out fires, you’re just lying here like a king!

The news was on, showing a local business update. There was Derrick, sharp in his suit, standing next to an older man with silver hair at some corporate event. The caption read, [Shaw Group's Chairman, with his son Derrick, stepping into the limelight for the first time...] On the screen, Derrick's once ravaged face had healed significantly after treatment. A layer of foundation made him look almost presentable as he offered a smile to the camera. Next to him was a young woman, her attire impeccable, her demeanor refined. The host introduced her as the heiress of a partner corporation.

Kyle grinned like he'd just won the lottery while Emily rolled her eyes, unable to hide her smile. "Lucky bastard," someone muttered from the back. A few students laughed. "Chloe Dawson... Mia Brooks." Chloe nodded without complaint and scooted her chair slightly toward the girl beside her. One pair after another, the names kept coming. "Vanessa Sinclair... Daniel Rhys." Vanessa's expression changed instantly. Daniel—one of the smartest guys in our department—looked pleasantly surprised. Vanessa looked less impressed. Her eyes swept over him once before she forced out a tight smile that convinced absolutely no one.

Caroline was a good girl and I wanted sure I he was the type of guy she should be entertaining. It checked my phone once more and then hit the buzzer. But this time I gave my request over the intercom. “Can you have Cleaver pick up Danica at 3:30 for me? He knows where from already.” She still had a few hours before she had to be at work, but I didn’t want to forget. “Sure thing Mister Hardin.” “Sorry for the interruption.

Suddenly, a voice crackled through what I now realized was an earpiece in the stranger's ear. "Boss, the coast is clear. But we need to move. Now."

I wondered if he had already read the journal. "To save you." He simply answered. "But it hurts to know that I can no longer touch you." I goggled at him. He sounded so weird right now. Did I hear him correctly? Namir rolled his eyes. "Another vigilant man has come. But if you're here to save her, you might want to help us though. So we can go home before it gets dark." "We really need to go back quickly. Dubheasa is planning to burn the entire kingdom just to make sure no one's left alive—especially you, Nemiah." Amaris gave me a worried look.

They were too absorbed in looking at the monument and remembering that night to notice my paralyzed state. I was also remembering that night. But another moment, before I fell into the fountain. *** [Flashback on] “Heigh-ho, Heigh-ho, It's home from work we go” I could see Tom stumbling along singing the song of the seven dwarfs from Snow White, laughing like a hyena.
