Fina shivered in horror, remembering those same demons.
Shelly Jefferson took her other hand.
"I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that" Bryce said when he saw her reaction.
Fina shook her head.
"It's still so raw. That's all" She said.
Her words sounds far even to her own ears.
It was a great miracle she heals fast or she wouldn't even have been able to recover from her injury at all.
Bryce Parker stared at his hands.
"It felt like her body was locked down. I tried to wake her up but she didn't wake"
Ozias moved to the window while Xavier took a seat closer to the bed while they listen.
"She told me If there's one place dark students can find you the most, it's through your dreams" Fina said "They must have been trying to connect with her. Coco said she began to change. She said Mr Walker, Bridget, Ozias, Xavier, Kit and you-" Fina said, looking at Bryce Parker. "changed her. She wanted out but she wasn't able to. They were ordered to kill her. I believe Xiana was greatly loved in their world and it felt like a betrayal to them"
"Their world" Bryce Parker repeated. "Their world. She kept screaming about the Masters. I should have grabbed whatever she was saying back then but I didn't. The dark world has Masters. Not one but many. When she finally woke up, blood was dripping from her shoulders"
"Dark magic" Mr Walker said "Dark students. I should have known they were dark students. I should have known I'd dark students under my nose. They used dark protection spells"
Bryce Parker's gaze met Mr Walker's boldly.
"You are not to blame, Mr Walker. Even the Guardian Queen, Frida, didn't know they were dark students. No one knows"
Everyone was completely silent.
"Xiana wanted to give the book to the Queen but she knew she can't make it so she hid it herself. It has always been at the library." Fina said "Is Tyrell Swift father a philosopher?"
"No. Of course not. His father was- his father is.." Xavier said and trailed off.
The boys looked at each other.
"Wait. We don't know his father. Nor Coco nor Jessica. Jessica never mentioned them" Ozias said, terrified.
"Because they aren't here. They are in the other world" Mr Walker said "This is ridiculous"
"We must make a trip to the Palace" Bryce Parker said out of the blue. "We must inform the Queen"
"And do you think she will allow you entrance into the palace? The Queen gets to you. Not you to her. If she requests for you, you go. Not even if you are -"
Bryce shook his head slowly at Mr Walker.
Mr Walker cleared his throat.
Fina noticed the slip. Clearly.
"Not if you requested to see her" He completed.
