章 23: Nowhere to be found

Seraphina's Pov

 I let out a tired sigh for what felt like the hundredth time today, scanning the crowded school hall with restless energy while hoping, maybe foolishly, that Electra would just appear out of nowhere.

 It had been three days—three long, agonizing days since I'd last seen her, and it was driving me insane. 

 Despite everything Yuna had said and every warning she'd given me about staying away from Electra, I couldn't get her out of my mind. The longer I went without seeing her, the more this gnawing ache inside me grew, and I was immediately pulled back to her. 

 Yuna had been relentless in her warnings, and I could still hear her voice in my head and the seriousness in her eyes when she told me I should stay as far away from Electra as possible, but that was the thing—she never gave me a real reason.
