Scarlett pov

“What’s the point of this Lexi? An arrow and a bowl? For a fight? Seriously, I can’t use this ancient junk to battle! You said Klaus is a dangerous werewolf, so why the arrows?” I asked, totally baffled, as she packed them up like it was no big deal. Her hand shook, and I couldn’t figure out what scared her.

I promised to protect her for my husband; I can’t let his only sister walk into danger. I yanked Lexi up, and her eyes were filled with tears. I felt my own eyes start to water. I wrapped her in a hug, gently rubbing her back.

As I held Lexi tight, her shaking body melted against mine, pouring out her sadness. I could feel her tears soaking my shirt, and it made my heart ache. I knew I had to be her rock.

    Markus povI was still spinning on my bed when my phone buzzed three times like a morning alarm.Who could that be? I wondered, grumpily turning toward the nightstand. I fumbled for my phone and, upon seeing the sender's name, nearly shouted. Scarlett?It had been ages since my wife Scarlett reached out. What could be wrong? I glanced at the message. Call me. A chill ran down my spine. This was unusual for her. I sat up, looking around before dialing her number. She answered immediately, her tone urgent.Markus, I’m coming back to Portland. Please secure everything. I’m… she paused… I’m with your sister, Lexi.I felt a wave of relief wash over me at the mention of Lexi. Thank you, hun, I… and then the call cut off. It had been 1 year, 2 months, and 24 days since Scarlett left Portland for an unknown destination, and now she was finally returning. But wait… how did Scarlett find Lexi? Were they together? Their journey would take several hours. I needed to clean up and prepare something

    Scarlett pov“Markus, you need to hear me out.”I spoke softly, trying to mask my uncertainty. I couldn't grasp the pain of losing someone I care about. Whether it's Lexi, Markus, or anyone else Klaus targets, it terrifies me. "I have to mess things up," I murmured, settling onto his couch while he continued to study the map. He looked up at me. "What's wrong? What do you want me to do with this map?" he asked casually, sipping his drink as if it didn't matter.Frustration surged within me as I watched him so absorbed in his drink.I shot a glare at Markus, my eyes filled with anger. "What's wrong?" I echoed, my voice low and sharp. "You really need to ask? You're there, enjoying your drink like nothing's happening, while Klaus is out there threatening to take everyone we love."Markus maintained his composure, but a slight smirk appeared on his face. "And what do you suggest we do, Lexi?" he replied, his voice laced with sarcasm. "Charge into Klaus's lair, guns drawn, and demand he l

    Nyx povI figured Bianca was already in the car. It was my first time taking someone to the mall, and I had gone to her house to let her get ready. Can you believe it? I grumbled to myself as I stood there, waiting for my passenger of the day.As I tapped my foot on the pavement, I realized my day was starting off on the wrong foot. I checked my watch repeatedly, the numbers glowing back at me as if they were mocking my impatience."Come on! Punctuality isn't your strong suit, is it?" I muttered quietly.Just then, the door swung open, and she rushed out, looking flustered."Sorry, Nyx! I really am!" she said, hurrying toward me.I raised an eyebrow, taking in her messy appearance. "You look like you just woke up."She laughed, her eyes bright. "Pretty much. I overslept."I shook my head, unable to suppress a smile. "Alright, let’s get going. We don’t have all day."As we drove to Bianca's house, the earlier tension faded, replaced by our lighthearted conversation. Bianca excitedly sh

    Scarlett povThe anguish and despair experienced by a mother stem from the inability to protect her child. I witnessed Lexi's torment as she wept for Klaus, who is now with her young daughter. I observed her sitting helplessly on the floor, her eyes swollen and stained with tears.I knelt beside her, gently brushing her hair back."Please, stop crying. Your throat will become parched, and you will look worn out. Just try to hold back the tears," I implored, but she continued to weep.Lexi's body trembled violently as sobs wracked her delicate form. Her cries reverberated throughout the room, a heart-wrenching sound that struck deep within. I embraced her tightly, attempting to share in her sorrow, yet it felt as though her grief permeated the very air around us."Lexi, please," I urged softly, "you're shattering my heart. Klaus will do everything he can to ensure your daughter’s safety. He will not allow any harm to come to her." Yet, my reassurances seemed to vanish, swallowed by the

    Elena povI set the dining table with new placemats that caught my eye at the market due to their floral design, even though Henry dislikes blue. Naturally, the placemat was blue. I placed his breakfast on it and went to call him from his room. My heart sank when I saw water pooling at the entrance. I turned the doorknob slowly, bracing myself.“Oh no!” He left the shower and faucet running again. This boy is going to drive me crazy.As I opened the door, a warm mist enveloped me, filled with the scent of wet skin and soap. I couldn't help but exclaim, "Henry, come on!" trying to keep my tone light despite my growing irritation.The sound of rushing water intensified as I stepped inside, my eyes drawn to the shower stall. The glass door was fogged, but I could see Henry's outline, arms raised as he rinsed his hair. I felt a mix of amusement and annoyance bubbling up."Henry, you're going to flood the whole house!" I called out, attempting to sound playful.The water turned off, and He

    Scarlett pov“Scarlett, I find it difficult to comprehend the reason behind your unexpected arrival, especially since you foolishly chose to keep it from me.”I inhaled deeply, reclining on the couch, while Elana continued to scream and shout in a frenzied manner.I stood motionless in the doorway, my gaze fixed on the scene that was unfolding. Elana's face was twisted in fury, her voice slicing through the air as she directed her anger at... him. The one who had held my heart in his grasp for such a long time. Her demeanor appeared composed, yet I could sense the tension in her muscles and the twitch in his jaw.A wave of memories crashed over me, constricting my chest. I recalled the moment he walked away, leaving me in pieces. The ensuing silence felt like an insurmountable void. And now, he stood in my living room, a witness to Elana's outburst."Elana, please stop," I said, my tone steady yet gentle, as if attempting to calm a wild creature.However, Elana refused to be quieted.

My thoughts were a chaotic mess.Memories surged back, making it hard to breathe and impossible to calm down.Leaning against the cold porcelain, the water hit my skin like a thousand sharp needles. My mind was a whirlwind, with long-buried memories surfacing like grotesque reminders. I struggled to catch my breath, my chest rising and falling as if I had just sprinted.In a fit of frustration, I pounded my fists against the sides of the tub, the sound reverberating in the quiet bathroom.

    Lexi pov“Klaus, I'm trying to gain her trust, so please stop calling. You're jeopardizing the mission. And for the love of everything, don't harm my child.” I spoke softly, my voice barely above a whisper to avoid Scarlett overhearing. I paced my room, attempting to reason with the fool, but he remained skeptical. Suddenly, I heard footsteps approaching, prompting me to quickly dive into the wardrobe and close the door quietly.I held my breath, my heart pounding as Klaus's threatening voice came through the phone. "You really expect me to believe you're making headway with Scarlett?" he mocked. "I need proof, Lexi. Now."My hands were clammy as I clutched the phone, striving to maintain my composure. "Klaus, please. You have to trust me. I'm getting closer to her. But your incessant calls are compromising my position."The wardrobe door creaked slightly, and I tensed, hoping Klaus wouldn't catch the hesitation. The footsteps halted outside, and Scarlett's voice called, "Lexi, are yo

    Scarlett's POV:Tears cascaded down my face as I gazed through the narrow, barred window of my prison cell. The view outside was a hazy mix of water and sky, the entire landscape engulfed, with no land in sight. The magnitude of my situation was beyond my comprehension. A prison submerged beneath the waves, where the horizon seemed to stretch infinitely, and everything I cherished had vanished beneath the surface.How did I end up in this place? How did my life devolve into such a nightmare?My heart raced as I wiped away the tears, my fingers quivering as they brushed against my damp cheeks. The chill from the window bit into my skin, yet it paled in comparison to the deep ache within me—the longing for freedom, for hope, for an escape. The thought of remaining in this submerged prison had never crossed my mind. Yet, here I was, confined in a cell, feeling as if the very water surrounding me was closing in, threatening to engulf me entirely.I allowed my body to slide down against th

My muscles tightened, adrenaline coursing through me as I fought to control my breathing. I sensed Blackwood's menacing presence just behind me, like a hunter relishing the scent of its quarry. Each step reminded me of the torment awaiting me. I had been in this place before, but the circumstances were now altered. This time, I wasn’t merely a captive; I was a target they aimed to shatter."You'll regret crossing me, Scarlett," Blackwood hissed, his voice low and filled with malice. A chill ran down my spine, but I refused to give him the satisfaction of revealing my fear.I smirked, keeping my voice calm despite the cold seeping into my bones. “You really think I’m afraid of you? You clearly don’t know me, Blackwood.”He halted, his footsteps reverberating in the stillness of the corridor. I could feel his cold, calculating gaze on the back of my head. “Oh, I know enough. Y

    Scarlett pov It was time for the usual daily bath. For us prisoners, bathing together in the communal bathroom was just part of the routine. I gathered my soap and other essentials, wiping my dusty face with a towel. As I made my way down the hall, I sensed something was different. Women were gathered, towels wrapped around them. My heart raced as I calculated my steps toward the scene. What was happening? That question echoed in my mind. "Hey Scarlett, hurry up or you'll face the consequences!" a sharp soprano voice called from behind, pushing me to move faster. I quickened my pace, my heart pounding with unease. The usual sounds of chatter and laughter were replaced by an unsettling quiet. I tightened my towel around me, the rough fabric irritating my skin as I continued. As I neared the bathroom, I noticed the door was slightly open, a beam of light spilling out and creating an eerie glow on the floor.

    Marian pov I gathered my things, preparing to head to work, feeling the heaviness of loneliness and anxiety in my chest. I ignored the noisy fridge, too consumed by the reality that everyone I cared about had left. Scarlett and Finn were no longer part of my life. As I stood there, caught in my morning routine, the burden of solitude felt overwhelming. Scarlett and Finn had filled my days with joy and laughter, and now their absence echoed painfully in the silence. I inhaled deeply, attempting to dispel the emptiness that had taken root inside me. I needed to get to work; I couldn't allow my personal struggles to interfere with my duties. I finished dressing, my actions automatic as I went through the steps. I picked up my bag and moved toward the door, but a wave of anxiety washed over me as I reached for the handle. What if I couldn't manage this? What if facing the day without Scarlett and Finn was too much? I dismissed those thoughts, reminding myself that I had overcome

I could already sense his fury at the news that the one woman he tasked me with finding was still missing. I was certain he would kill me for this failure.As I pushed through the heavy wooden doors, the eerie creaking resonated in the empty hallway, reflecting the dread that gripped my chest. My heart felt like it was being crushed, each beat a reminder of the reckoning that awaited me.I had let Klaus down. The burden of that failure weighed heavily on me, threatening to suffocate me.

    Scarlett povThe door to my prison ward swung open for the first time in weeks, and the sight of daylight filled me with a surge of joy.As I emerged from the grim cell, the warm sunlight enveloped my face, its golden rays rejuvenating my weary spirit. It felt as though the universe was welcoming me back to life. I closed my eyes, tilted my head back, and allowed the light to embrace me, igniting a flicker of hope deep within.The sound of rustling clothes and soft voices pulled me back to the present. I opened my eyes to see a group of women in worn uniforms, their expressions a blend of curiosity and caution. I recognized that look; it mirrored my own reflection from the past weeks.A small woman with a messy bob and a scar above her left eyebrow stepped forward.

    Scarlett povWhere am I?! I growled, looking around as if I were losing my sanity. The entire area was dark and terrifying. Remus was gone, the police had taken him, and now he was dead. I was held captive in a place where I couldn't even begin to comprehend my situation.I slowly pushed myself up from the ground and stumbled toward the door.Is anyone there? Why won’t anyone respond?I took a cautious step forward, straining my eyes to see through the darkness. The air was heavy with the smell of mold and rot. A chill ran down my spine as I made my way to the door. My throat was raw from shouting, but I called out again, "Is anyone there?"The silence was overwhelming. An eerie stillness seemed to absorb my words. I banged on the door, the cold metal biting into my fists. "Let me out! Please, someone, let me out!"Tears welled in my eyes as memories of Remus flooded my mind. His lifeless form appeared before me, and a wave of sorrow crashed over me.
