Cassandra~
Gaining back consciousness, I heard a distant voice.
Muffled but familiar.
"I'm at Starview Hotel. I'm here with Brielle. Come. Now."
My head throbbed as I forced my eyes open, the world around me shifting in and out of focus.
Griffin? He's alive?
I blinked.
No.
It wasn't Griffin.
It was Kalmia.
She was holding his phone, her lips curled into a cruel smile as she spoke into the receiver.
My stomach twisted.
My heart pounded painfully against my ribs.
"Kalmia…" My voice was only a breath, my throat raw from the choking.
She turned to me, her expression eerily soft as she crouched beside me. Cold fingers traced my cheek, sending a shiver down my spine.
"You were asleep for quite some time," she murmured. "But don't worry—I've been busy setting the stage."
Dread coiled in my stomach.
"What…?" My voice cracked. "What did you do?"
