Lila’s POV “Good evening, students. This is Alpha Jonathan. I know you’re not used to hearing me on the intercom, but Headmaster Prescott is a little busy right now. Unfortunately, with new facts and evidence we are reopening the murder cases and I’m enforcing another lockdown until further noti

“Tell me, girl. What is going on at the school right now,” she spoke in a nearly unrecognizable tone. There was a beat of silence, and then the small and frightened voice of Rachel, Jazzy’s recent vessel who has been taken over by Zagreus’s darkness, sounded from the purple orb. “T…they are

“Come on,” Alex said harshly before I could speak another word. I wanted to tell Miss Tinsel off, though I knew it wasn’t in my best interest to do that. Whatever was going on around this school was already destroying it, I wasn’t going to partake in destroying the rest of my education here. “We
