Chapter 77
Aaliyah
When I woke up, I found myself in my room. I didn't feel any pain. Everything seemed normal. I'd never felt this alive before.
The door creaked open, and Tristan walked in, with Hayley behind him.
"Aaliyah?"
I turned to him.
"Aaliyah?" Tristan asked again. "How do you feel? Are you okay?"
"For the first time in my life, everything feels great," I said, flashing them a smile as I rubbed my stomach. "Why am I tucked under my blanket?"
"You… well… you fell unconscious," Hayley said. "Sarah said you did something dangerous with the black magic book."
"Are you sure you're okay?" Tristan asked.
I felt a throbbing headache and groaned, rubbing my temples. "I tapped into the black magic from my mother's grimoire, and it's corrupting my mind."
"I should call Sarah," Tristan said.
"Sarah won't be able to help. The spell corrupting my mind is stronger than you think," I said, climbing out of bed. "But don't worry. I have it under control."
