Helanie:
Lucy said what she had to say, but then her phone rang, and she left the room to stand on the balcony and enjoy the phone call.
"Don’t focus on her. She has been saying weird things all along. We both know how much she hates Jenny and holds her responsible for her breakup with Gavin," I tried dismissing Lucy’s theories, but Lamar had been zoned out for a little too long at this point.
"Lamar, tell , what are you thinking?" I gently touched his arm, and he got so startled that it worried .
"Helanie, what if she is telling the truth and the test results get Jenny in trouble? You know the hospital will inform the council right away, right?" His voice was low, as if he was afraid of soone overhearing.
"But the tests are important too. She needs dical care," I reminded Lamar that it wasn’t that simple. If she was fine, we could have avoided it, but she wasn’t. The fact that she passed out today was a huge red flag and a serious concern.
"I don’t know. Maybe she was just feeling weak. But I am afraid of what Lucy is saying. Her statents match what the doctors were saying today," Lamar seed so restless. I hated that we couldn’t trust Lucy anymore. For all we know, she could just be ssing with our heads.
"We can ask Gavin to get the truth out of her and see if she genuinely thinks the entity is in Jenny or if she’s just stirring things up," I suggested, rubbing my palms anxiously.
"I will kill that entity now. Why the fuck did we forget about her?" Lamar hissed, walking toward the door and slamming it shut after leaving. I guess he needed so ti to cool down.
I was worried about him, so I texted Gavin to go after him.
: Can you please catch Lamar before he leaves the academy? He’s worried about Jenny, and Lucy told him so stuff about her and the entity. Just talk to him—he’ll fill you in.
While typing the text, my mind kept getting distracted by the notification I had just received. It was a ssage from Kaidon.
With my fingers shaking, I opened his ssage.
Kaidon: I am so sorry for my mom’s behavior. She knows if the allegations are proven true, she will lose the only family she has left.
It felt like a cri to respond to his text without any cuss words or angry statents.
: It’s okay. So, are you going to help ?
I bit my bottom lip, feeling anxiety spread through my veins.
Kaidon: I will. I stand by my word.
I sighed in relief, getting comfortable under my blanket.
Kaidon: You know, before knowing you were truly real, I used to have dreams about you. After that night, I saw you in my dreams many tis. And whenever I ntioned it to my friends, they told it was because you were always just a dream.
I clenched my fists at the ntion of his friends.
: What about Rayden? And was Penn involved in such things?
Kaidon: What about Rayden? Penn wasn’t there that night, I am not sure he was involved in other things.
: Did he tell his friends about ? That I’m alive and all?
That was the question that had been bothering a lot lately. I wanted to know if he had inford his friends and if they were already one step ahead of .
Kaidon: Not really. After his own issues started to surface, everyone cut ties with him. He was also keeping secrets.
: Can you tell more about your friends and who they are?
Now that was the question that would make my heart skip a beat. He started typing, and my anxiety began to grow.
Kaidon: Let send you their nas.
My eyes widened, and my body started to shake. I was worried about who would be involved. He then sent a few nas, and reading through them made my head hurt.
Kaidon: Alpha Velsh, Alpha Ronnie, Alpha Jero, Alpha Rayn.
: Thank you.
I quickly typed the nas in my notepad on my phone, just in case he deleted the ssage.
Kaidon: But be careful when searching for them online. There’s a protection bot on every site that alerts their pack whenever soone looks them up.
I was so glad he told in ti before I had stupidly searched for them.
: Then how would I get information on them? Can you tell more?
Kaidon: Their information is in the library. Not just any library, but the V. Lec one near the border of the rogue community and the abandoned island.
I knew exactly which land he was talking about. It was mostly water. There was a sea and several islands in that area, but no one really had any interest in exploring them.
Kaidon: You will find a library there. You can get their information from that library, but please don’t tell the librarian why you’re there.
Kaidon: Also, don’t text until I do.
: Why?
Kaidon: Because I’m at the sa academy as them. And there are tis when they’re around . If they notice I’m texting soone they thought was dead, they’ll make sure your death actually happens before you can find anything about them.
Kaidon: I’m putting my phone away now. Bye.
I kept staring at the nas. I would visit the library and find out about their families and packs. I wished I had asked Kaidon for their pack nas, but I could tell he was afraid to talk about them before we had a solid plan to take them down.
"Lucy, I hope you’re not lying about Jenny." As Lucy walked back in from the balcony, I told her.
She stared at before smiling. "The entity is out there, looking for an innocent and pure person. I’m glad I’m not one anymore."
Her words made my body shudder. Her sudden change and the way she always surrounded herself with negative people made wonder if she was running from the entity at this point.
