Kapitel 49: [Bonus chapter] When everything turns dark

Zi Mei was chatting with Jazzmine on video in her hotel room when Jazzmine looked surprised and gaped at something behind Zi Mei. Feeling goosebumps racing across her skin, raising the little hairs on her arms and neck, Zi Mei whipped around.

It was Darren. Her first response was shock. How did he find her? Most importantly, how did he get in? Surely, Thorin didn't let him in!

"Darren? What are you doing here??" she asked. Her best friend looked sad and a tiny bit different. He saw Jazzmine on the screen and he waved.

"Hey Jazzmine. You want to come over and join us? We can have a party here," he said. Jazzmine blushed and shook her head.

"It's getting late, I was just checking in on Mei, you guys have fun, good night!" she said and immediately signed off before Zi Mei could say anything. Zi Mei put down her phone and turned to Darren.

"How? Who let you in?" she asked him.

He didn't reply her. Instead, he looked around the room and whistled.
