Chapter 15:Night with Sarah
As soon as Sarah arrived, Mia ushered her into the living room, eager to share every detail of her encounter at Kaiden's house.
"Girl, you won't believe what happened," Mia said, barely containing her excitement.
Sarah's eyes widened as Mia recounted her experience, from the mysterious portrait to the visions and the secret room.
Sarah's expression changed from curiosity to concern. "Mia, what's going on? Why was Kaiden looking different from a human in the portrait?"
Mia shook her head. "I don't know, but it's freaking me out. And the vision showed people who looked like Kaiden from the portrait."
Sarah's eyes narrowed. "And what about the secret room? What was in there?"
Mia hesitated, unsure how much to reveal. "There were weird symbols and artifacts...it looked like some sort of ritual room."
Sarah's voice dropped to a whisper. "Mia, did Kaiden try to explain anything to you about the room?"
Mia shook her head. "No, not at all. He just seemed really upset that I had discovered the room."
Sarah's eyes locked onto Mia's. "I think Kaiden is hiding something, Mia. There can only be two meanings to all this: either Kaiden belongs to some secret cult group or...he's not human, because why would someone have such a room filled with weird stuff and then there's this gem too in the room, no way Mia, there's more to kaiden than meet the eye"
Mia laughed nervously, trying to ease the tension. "Common, Sarah, stop saying trash!"
But Sarah's expression remained serious. "Mia, I'm serious. You need to be careful around Kaiden."
Mia rolled her eyes. "Girl, you're watching too many supernatural movies."
Sarah smiled wryly. "Maybe, but I'm just looking out for you."
Mia grinned mischievously. "Ehen, I've got another gist for you."
Sarah's eyes lit up. "What is it?"
Mia took a deep breath, launching into the story of Ryker's unexpected visit to the office. She recounted their encounter, from Ryker's charming smile to his flirtatious behavior.
Sarah's eyes widened as Mia spoke. "Girl, this Ryker guy sounds like trouble!"
Mia nodded in agreement. "I know, right? But there's something about him that's just so...intriguing."
Sarah raised an eyebrow. "Intriguing? Mia, be careful. You don't know anything about this guy."
Mia smiled wryly. "I know.
As the evening wore on, Mia and Sarah continued to discuss the mysteries surrounding Kaiden and Ryker, their conversation filled with speculation and concern.
