*Clara's pov*
it has been a week since everything had occured and I found my self back at school trying to arrange my things and get settled in.
*Third person pov*
In one of the dorm rooms on campus on a dark Moon lighted night was Clara , it was already past eleven when Clara had finished arranging her things , so to reward herself so she decided to step out and stop by the convenience store to get something to eat.
As she stepped into the cold and windy night with her wearing a baby pink coloured pajamas as it was her favourite colour with a brown hoodie.
she entered the store and bought some fast food and other groceries she needed but didn't buy too much since zael hasn't resumed yet , she paid for her groceries at the counter and started heading back.
As she was walking ahead with the reflection of the moon against her skin and the wind blowing into her thick black hair , she decided to take the route through the school park , even though it was a long route she just needed to clear her head. she then checked the time on her phone which stated that it was past midnight as she sat down on one of the benches scrolling through her phone as she felt the nights breeze against her skin.
Then suddenly Clara felt a really cold air form around her skin not the kind that she had been feeling through out the night but the type that sent shivers down her spine , as she started trying to zip up her hoodie she felt someone grab her shoulder and at the corner of her eyes she could see that the person's hands were really long and detailed as she knew it belonged to a man , she abruptly turned her head to see that no one was actually there , she just formed a frown ' it's probably all in my head ' she thought to her self before she gathered her things and started walking back to the dormitory.
Clara was walking at a calm pace with her hand in the pocket of her hoodie but she couldn't shake off the feeling that someone was following her , two minutes passed and that same feeling grew stronger and stronger , that is when she decided to fasten her pace in walking until she finally reached her dorm , she just practically ran up the stairs in fear of being followed or attacked, when she finally reached her room she was putting in the code to her dorm room when Clara decided to look out the window that was next to her room's door still being outside her room ,her breath suddenly hitched at the sight in front of her it led her to actually think she was being followed, there stood a man a really tall man although Clara couldn't see his face probably due to the fact the she was upstairs but she could see clearly that he had thick gray hair that covered his whole scalp with the hair being patted in the middle but not because he was old when he was obviously young , he was dressed in a black dress shirt with black dress pants and a matching black suit with his collar opened slightly, he stared at the dormitory gate for about some time while Clara's keened eyes were on him trying to find anything suspicious about him then suddenly he raised his head to the window that Clara was looking from as the made eye contact with , Clara was definitely not expecting that to happen as she crouched down while holding her mouth ,she then got up slowly to look if he was still there but she felt relieved as he wasn't there anymore, she now hurriedly entered her room licking it multiple times.

*Two days later*
Clara was seated at the library with her books when her phone indicated that she received a message she opened her phone to see one from the contact zael
'i am already in the room and I saw you weren't here your probably being a nerd in the corner of the school library'.
Clara just laughed softly at the fact that she was painfully correct.
'oh I am not even if I was not every one passes their exams without studying like you'. Clara replied to her text message playfully.
It was already 4pm and Clara was done for the day as she started heading back to her room.
"hey you" she entered her room as she saw zael and hugged her.
"hey to you too , how are you now" zael asked with pure concern in her voice.
"what is that question supposed to mean , I'm better than ever" Clara replied.
"just wanted to make sure your all good after everything"
"zael I'm over it , and I am good".
"ok ok I've heard , so how are you ,did anything happen in my absence". zael asked with curiosity in her eyes.
"i have only been here for one day zael nothing happened even if something did I wouldn't know , you know I don't socialize too well" Clara replied.
"oh I know that's a bummer".
"oh yes something did happen yesterday which was really crazy". Clara remembered.
"really?" she said with excitement in her eyes.
"yes which was really strange , I went out at night to buy some things, around 12 when I was on my way back someone was following me , a guy!, he wore a suit and was really tall" Clara told her.
"A guy? ooo was he cute"
"Zael stop this isn't funny , I was really scared" Clara replied while pouting.
"But are you really sure that he was following you maybe he just came to see someone" Zael replied.
"See someone at 12 at night? , he was following me then when I got upstairs which I basically ran up to , I looked outside and saw him staring at the building then he made eye contact with me he seemed really scary".
"Oh that is scary but when you made eye contact with him what happened next".
"I just squatted down out of fear but when I got up he wasn't there anymore and he looked like he was in his late 20s".
"Oh that means you need to be careful especially at night , but how did he get pass through security you said he was not a student" Zael replied.
"What? I never said that , how did you know he wasn't a student".
"You said he wore a suit dummy , and said he was in his late 20s , which obviously means he is not a student" zael replied while avoiding eye contact.
"Sorry , I am just really freaked out by everything that's happening" Clara replied reassuringly.
"No problem and oh what is that round orb on your table , I haven't seen it before" zael asked while pointing at it
"Oh that , remember my aunt shysie"
"Yeah I obviously remember her you always complain about her" zael replied.
"I found it at my aunt's house in a weird room so I took it since it was eye catching" Clara replied.
"What?" Zael dropped her glass perfume that she was trying to arrange out of shock.
"Zael!" Clara gasped "what's wrong why did you drop your expensive looking perfume on the floor" Clara asked with concern in her voice while she tried to help her clean it.
"I'm fine just leave it!" She shouted as she dashed out of the room to get a broom still avoiding eye contact.
"Why is she acting so strange for no reason" Clara thought to her self.
*1:00 am*
*Clara's pov*
I was laying in my bed sound asleep when I started hearing whispers in my ear , the voice sounded deep.
"You brought me out from where I belonged , now you have to take accountability for me" I suddenly heard that statement loud and clear like it wasn't from my dream. I woke being startled, I looked around the room and saw no one there. I just saw zael sleeping soundly on her bed.
*Sigh* "it might be my imagination" I said as I got up to use the restroom.
When I was done using the wc I started washing my hands when I heard that statement again but clearer this time around "you brought me out from where I belonged, now you have to take accountability for me Clara" I heard it this time with my name, I looked back really quickly "who is there" I asked knowing fully well no one was there.
"Ah I must be going crazy why am I hearing voices, let me just go back to sleep, maybe I am just stressed out since I am about to start my internship" I said to my self while I entered my bed as I tried to go back to sleep. But right before I drifted into a deep sleep I swore I saw that crystal orb glow blue.
