The Sickened Luna's Last Chance novel Chapter 439

**TITLE: The Perfect 439**
**CONTENT: Chapter 439**

**Ella’s POV**

An hour had slipped by before we finally congregated in the living room. Liam had proposed that we conduct the séance in a secluded area, away from the infirmary where Lilith was still recuperating and far from the nursery where Lucien lay sleeping. The last thing we needed was to draw any unwanted spirits toward two of the most fragile souls in our home.

As I entered the room, I watched Liam move about with purpose, drawing the curtains closed and lighting candles one by one. He had attempted this once before, he explained, during our quest for information regarding the crystal. He’d stumbled upon the idea in a dusty old book, and with his newly discovered powers, he felt compelled to give it another shot.

I couldn’t fathom where he found the time for such endeavors, but honestly, I wasn’t about to complain.

With the flickering candlelight casting dancing shadows on the walls, Liam motioned for us to settle in a circle on the floor. Alexander, Anya, her mother, and I arranged ourselves into a rough circle, with Liam taking his place at the head. The locked box containing the crystal sat ominously in the center, its presence palpable.

“Everyone, please join hands,” Liam instructed, his voice steady yet laced with an undercurrent of anticipation.

I grasped Alexander’s hand on one side and Anya’s on the other. As our fingers intertwined, Alexander and I exchanged hesitant glances. Deep down, I wanted to dismiss this as mere folly, but after everything we had endured, nothing felt trivial anymore.

Liam closed his eyes, inhaling deeply as if summoning the very air around him. “Julie,” he called out softly, his voice barely above a whisper. “Julie, if you’re here, please show yourself. We need your guidance.”

Silence enveloped us, broken only by the mournful howl of the wind outside and the soft flicker of the candles as they danced in the draft.

He tried again, his voice more insistent now. “Julie, it’s Liam. We’ve located the Viridian Crystal, but we’re unsure how to wield its power. Please, if you can hear me, we implore you to help us.”

Suddenly, the temperature in the room plummeted. I exhaled, watching my breath swirl in visible puffs of white vapor. Anya gasped beside me, her grip on my hand tightening like a vice.

“She’s here,” Liam whispered, his eyes snapping open. He was fixated on a point directly across from him, his gaze unwavering. “Julie’s presence is here.”

I followed his line of sight, but all I saw was empty space. Yet, I could sense his intensity, as if he were tracking a shadow that eluded our vision. Alexander turned his head, blinking rapidly, and I could tell he was perceiving her too.

Liam leaned forward slightly, his voice low and urgent. “Julie, we need to understand how to harness the Viridian Crystal. Can you enlighten us?”

A long pause ensued, during which Liam’s brow furrowed deeply, as if he were straining to catch her words. Then, his complexion drained of color.

“What is she saying?” I pressed, my heart racing.
