"First: that watch on your wrist? Tilly's cursed jade pendant is hidden inside it. The stone should be completely red by now."
Clement froze. His gaze dropped to his wrist.
"Second..."
I pulled my phone from under the pillow. On the screen, a 911 call was still connected.
"You brought people to break into my home, threatened my safety, and tried to seize my property. The police heard every word."
The cheering died like a switch had been flipped.
Clement's face changed. He lunged for the phone, but his hand locked mid-air.
"What's happening... my body..."
Every eye in the room turned to him.
Every face twisted with raw terror.
