Rachel growled in return.
“He’s rich; he could afford it,”
Sarah said, slapping the table with the palms of her hands.
“Fighting isn’t going to help him,”
I said loudly, silencing them all. “Sarah is right, this is important, and murder doesn’t compare to vandalism. Though, that wasn’t right either,”
I added that last part while glaring at Sarah who shrunk back in her seat with a red face.
“Being stuck in the past isn’t something we should be doing right now,”
Brody said, giving me a pointed look.
“And you are right,”
I said in return. “I called this meeting because I wanted to be honest with you guys about something.”
I looked around the table and saw all their concerned faces.
“What’s going on?”
Becca asked, a worried frown decorating her lips.
“I think I know why Scott confessed to murdering those people,”
I said, and I paused when I heard an echo of gasps around the room.
“What?”
Sarah asked, raising her brows.
“Then we should report it and get my boy out of jail,”
Matt said with determination written all over his face. I had forgotten Matt and Brody were on the same team as Scott.
“It’s not that simple,”
I said, sighing. “We don’t exactly have the proof.”
“Well, why did he confess?”
Luis asked.
“Because his mind was taken over,”
I said simply.
On that note, everybody turned to look at Sarah with a dumbfounded expression.
“Hey, I’m here to prove myself and get back on everybody good gracious,”
she said, folding her arms across her chest. “I didn’t do anything.”
“It wasn’t Sarah,”
I quickly jumped in.
“And how do we know that exactly?”
Rachel asked, narrowing her eyes at me.
“Because it was darkness,”
I blurted.
They all stared at me with confused looks.
“Darkness?”
Luis asked. “How is that possible?”
I sighed.
“Darkness has been conjured and it’s at this school,”
I told them. “I’m not sure how it was summoned or why it’s at this school, but It’s here.”
“Is that the reason why we lost our powers for a day?”
Kay asked; I could hear the fear in her voice.
“I think so,”
I answered honestly.
“Darkness?”
Luis repeated; I looked at him and saw that all the color on his face had drained and he sat frozen.
He was in a state of shock.
“Yes,”
I answered again. “You should have seen the dark look Scott gave me yesterday. His eyes were filled with darkness. He wasn’t himself.”
“Darkness can get in our heads,”
Kay breathed, staring down at her hands. “Easily.”
“It would make sense,”
Sarah said, looking at me. “I mean, why else would Brody, a wolf, drink blood and eat a heart.”
“Was Merida a virgin?”
Kay asked, surprising all of us.
“What?”
I asked, raising my brows at her.
“I never saw her with a guy,”
Sarah shrugged. “So, probably. But why does that matter?”
“Because it would make sense for darkness to consume her heart if she was a virgin,”
Kay answered, meeting my eyes.
“The heart of purity”
I breathed. “Darkness needs the heart and blood of purity to survive.”
“Like a sacrifice?”
Becca asked, glancing at Luis and then back at Kay. “What do you know about darkness, Kay?”
“I just know that once it’s conjured, it’s hard to destroy. It needs a sacrifice to remain strong. It will continue to take sacrifices until it’s no longer needed on this earth and goes back to wherever it came from. Whoever conjured it, is using it for a purpose.”
My heart felt heavy as I listened to them talking.
“How do we get rid of it?”
Becca asked.
“Light,”
Kay answered.
“Of course,”
Becca breathed. “If there’s light, there’s no darkness.”
“But if there’s darkness, there’s no light,”
Luis stated.
