I contacted Katherine once more, confident in her ability to accomplish whatever task I assign her, provided it aligns with her convenience.

I hurried out of the room and into the garden to speak with Katherine.

"Hello, Kat," I greeted her calmly, glancing around awkwardly.

"Scarlett, what am I supposed to do in Lexi's apartment? What if I get caught?" she inquired, bypassing any morning pleasantries and displaying her usual brusqueness, yet I needed her assistance.

"Check her wardrobe; she keeps a book with important numbers. Look for the name Klaus and send me the number," I instructed.

I chuckled softly, familiar with Katherine's straightforward demeanor. "Good morning to you as well, Kat," I remarked with a touch of amusement, though my expression tightened slightly at her rudeness.

"Stay focused, Scarlett," she retorted, her tone low and urgent. "What if Lexi walks in while I'm searching through her belongings?"

I paced along the garden path, my thoughts racing. "You

    Klaus pov“You found me, Scarlett. I'm impressed by your bravery,”I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. “I've been anticipating this moment, though I didn't expect it to arrive so quickly.”“So, you've tracked me down.”“Why are you the one reaching out, Scarlett? I should be the one contacting you, darling, since you hold value for me. Don't try to play games; I will locate you.” I warned her, even though I was taken aback by her call.Scarlett's low laugh sent chills through me, and I tightened my jaw, striving to keep control. "Oh, Klaus, always so eager to take charge. But this time, I'm the one in control."Her tone was filled with assurance, making me question her intentions. I leaned back, fingers steepled, staring out at the city skyline."Tell me, Scarlett, what leads you to believe you have the advantage?" I inquired, my voice tinged with amusement and a touch of caution.There was a slight pause, almost unnoticeable, but I caught it. "Let’s just say I’ve come across

    Scarlett POV I stood at the entrance of an unfinished building, observing how misguided my dear Klaus was. He looked striking, yet I couldn't understand why he believed I was a key to saving his brothers. Suddenly, my phone buzzed in my pocket, making my heart race. I looked at the screen and nearly shouted. It was Markus—why was he calling me? I rejected the call, fully aware he would try to ruin my plans.I shoved my phone back into my pocket, my thoughts spiraling into worst-case scenarios. Markus's timing was terrible. I didn't want him interfering, especially now that I had Klaus exactly where I needed him.I refocused on Klaus, who remained unaware of my inner conflict.

    Markus povDid you manage to reach her? She ought not to cause us such anxiety, as we cannot constantly search for her. She has even turned off her phone. I paced back and forth in my room, frustration mounting as I attempted to contact Scarlett.I halted my movements and struck my fist against the dresser, the mirror shaking in response. Where could Scarlett be? Why was she deliberately avoiding me?I pulled out my phone and dialed her number once more, only to be met with the same infuriating voicemail. I growled, my frustration reaching a boiling point."Dammit, Scarlett!" I exclaimed, flinging the phone onto the bed.My thoughts spiraled into the worst possible outcomes. Had Klaus found her? Was she in peril?I walked to the window, staring out into the darkness. The city lights blurred as my mind raced with worry.Scarlett had always been a challenge, but this situation felt different.

    Lexi pov “What did you just say? Scarlett came over instead? That's unsettling, sorry… it's wild because I can't believe she had the nerve to show up.” I scoffed while on the phone, but Klaus seems too preoccupied to hear me; he keeps humming and mumbling. I think he's really struggling with Scarlett.“Klaus, can you hear me?” I asked, my voice barely rising above a whisper, my eyes scanning the area anxiously."Lexi, just be quiet and let me handle this situation!" he snapped, his voice booming from the other end.I took a deep breath, feeling the sweat bead on my skin because I know Klaus is a dangerous guy driven by anger.A chill ran down my spine as Klaus's words lingered, his tone laced with hostility. My eyes widened, and I swallowed hard, my mouth suddenly parched. I couldn't believe he spoke to me like that."K-Klaus, I was just trying to—" I stammered, but he interrupted me."Lexi, shut. Up. Now." His voice was low and threatening, sending a shiver through me. I had never h

    Scarlett povI always believed I could confront Klaus, that he would be my equal. Now, I can barely tolerate his presence. Bound to an ornate ladder, I can't express the depth of my trauma as he pummels my face.I shot a fierce glare at Klaus, my eyes burning with defiance even as fear gripped my throat. How did I misjudged him so severely? I thought I could outsmart him, manipulate him, but now I see I was merely a pawn in his twisted game.Klaus's face contorted with rage, his eyes gleaming with a madness that chilled me to the bone. "You think you can fool me, Scarlett? You think you can play me for a fool?"I spat at his feet, my heart racing. "You're the fool, Klaus. Your own arrogance blinds you."His expression darkened, fists tightening. "You'll regret that."He lunged at me, his punches falling like a relentless storm. I felt my jaw crack, my teeth rattle, and my vision blur. Blood filled my mouth, and I choked.As Klaus continued his assault, I felt my spirit shatter. I was

    Author pov“Klaus, your time is over!”My deep, resonant voice reverberated through the space as he stood at the entrance, gripping his weapon—a red-robed axe—with white-knuckled intensity, his gaze locked on Klaus. Lexi and Markus had to step aside, their expressions a mix of shock and disbelief."Wow! It's been ages. Mr. Jed Bartlet!" Klaus exclaimed, stroking his hair as he approached the old man. Without missing a beat, he turned to Lexi and laughed. "Scared, are we?"Jed had been Klaus's mentor before his brothers vanished. Learning about Scarlett's plight compelled him to return and fight for her freedom, knowing that venturing into the underworld would mean her death—a sacrifice to save his brothers in her place.As Klaus neared Jed, the old man's grip on the axe grew firmer, his knuckles turning pale beneath the aged leather gloves. The red robe he wore seemed to shimmer in the low light, reminiscent of dying embers. Lexi and Markus exchanged worried looks, their faces mirrori

    Marian pov“I can't stand what you're saying right now! I feel betrayed; why did you have to leave after all those months of falling for you?” I cried as I looked at Joe, his eyes filled with tears. As he held me, I couldn't grasp why he wanted to travel."Joe, talk to me!" I shouted, tears streaming down my face."What do you want me to say, Marian? I'm leaving the city. Alia knows and she's okay with it," he replied hoarsely, his eyes filled with sarcasm."Alia is your close friend, not someone who has fallen deeply in love with you. Please don’t leave me, Joe; I can't handle it," I sobbed, gripping his shirt tightly. It was hard to accept the reality that after just two months, I had fallen so deeply for him, and now he was considering leaving. Where could he possibly go? I thought, sniffling, as he seemed unmoved by my tears."I'm sorry," he whispered, brushing my hair aside. "I didn’t want to leave, but I have to go."His words, "I have to go," cut me deeply. I had no idea where

    Alia povA few hours after leaving Marian's house, I couldn't stop trying to find Scarlett with my locator spell. Despite taking her personal items to help track her, she remained untraceable."Joe, the spell isn't working. I don't think Scarlett is alive. What is going on?" I growled, slamming my fist on the table."Use your magic to find her, Alia. I believe you can do it," he replied, trying to reassure me about something I knew was futile."Shut up, Joe! It's not working!"I shot him a glare, my frustration boiling over. How could he not understand? My locator spell had always been reliable, but now it felt like Scarlett had simply disappeared."Joe, listen!" I snapped, my voice rising. "The spell isn't functioning because Scarlett is out of range. Or...she's being shielded."Joe's expression shifted, his eyes widening in fear."Shielded?" he echoed, panic creeping into his voice. "What does that mean?"I began to pace, my thoughts racing."It means someone or something is blockin

    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. I pushed the door open and scanned the room for clues about the situatio

    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

    Finn povI returned to Klaus after losing Scarlett, knowing I had to report directly to him. 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, the person he had entrusted to me, was still out there, and I was the one who would face the repercussions.Approaching Klaus's study, I felt my palms grow clammy.

    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. "Well, look who finally decided to grace us with her presence," she said, her tone laced with sarcasm. "The princess has arrived."I shot her a sharp look.

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.
