Exposing The Darkness

After Zayn's people confirm that Mika isn't being followed from the restaurant, she's cleared to drive over here.

As soon as she steps into the room, her composed demeanor barely hiding the weight of what she has just experienced. We're all on edge, waiting for her to break the silence. Candy hands her a glass of water, and Zayn motions for her to sit down.

"What happened?" 

I ask, my voice trembling.

She takes a deep breath, her usually steady gaze faltering. 

"Price isn't just manipulative—she's dangerous. There's something dark surrounding her, something unnatural."

"What do you mean by 'dark'?" Zayn presses, leaning forward in his chair.

"I mean she's not acting alone." 

Mika says, her voice steady now. 

"She's using spells. And not just mild ones—these are designed to bind and control. Chris is under a powerful form of hypnosis. The way she carries herself, the energy she exudes—it's laced with darkness."
