The air in the room became thick with tension as everyone realized what had just happened. "Helena's gone!" Zeoy gasped, her flashlight shaking in her hand. Derek's eyes scanned the room frantically, his mind racing. "She was right here. Where could she have gone?" His voice was tight with frustration and confusion. Peter 2 stepped forward, his face pale. "I was supposed to protect her! She was right next to me, I swear!" "Calm down, everyone," Derek ordered, though his own heart was pounding. He knelt on the floor, his fingers brushing over the spot where Helena had been standing. No sign of a struggle. No blood. It was as if she had vanished into thin air. "Could it be Kluas?" Gilbert asked, pacing back and forth. "He might've used some kind of magic or ability to teleport her." "It's possible, but why would he just take Helena?" Derek growled, standing back up. "She's important, sure, but he knows we need her for our plan. It doesn't make sense for him to kidnap her now." Ze
I was about to launch an attack at Kluas when Emma's phone rang again. Kluas had a sinister smile on his face as Zeoy and I looked at him. "Why don't you get that? It sounds pretty urgent." He said it with a smile on his face. "Do you think I care about them? Sending you back to where you belong will actually be saving a lot of lives." I replied as my face showed the mirror power within me. I can only pray that Derek and the rest of the reaper help in finding Helena on time. "You are going to give me what I want one way or the other, Max; there is no fighting it." Kluas smiled My phone rang again, and this time it was Peter's mother. "Don't come home, son; stay where you are." Selena said with a scared tone. I could hear the sound of crashing underneath. "What is going on, mother?" I shouted "Don't come home! They are trying to break in. Just stay where you are!" She shouted yet again. I looked at Kluas, and my eyes blazed with fury. I noticed my body twitched as Peter was trying
" Hello!" Zeoy shouted over the phone. Peter 2 without being told knows where to find Kluas. He beat off a young man off his powerbike and drove at a fast speed into the night. Meanwhile, Zeoy started to track Derek's phone, and it wasn't long before she found them all lying down, beating to a pulp. Zeoy noticed some minor injuries and immediately treated their wounds. Each of them got up, looking at her face. "He snapped and had us knocked out. Did you get him?" Gilbert asked "I am sorry, but when I got here, he was gone." Zeoy replied, watching Derek. "I told him I was going to protect her. I failed." Derek said with regret in his voice. "Now is not the time to sulk, Derek. We don't know what will happen to Peter. Do you know what happens when Klaus gets his power back? We lost this fight, and we became another pawn in his plan." Zeoy said with haste. "We need to admit it, Zoey. We are lost, and I don't think we can find him. I think our fate lies in the hands of a boy who doesn
Derek looked back at the Whitmores as they stood frozen in the aftermath of the fight. The tension in the room was thick, the air heavy with unsaid fears and a sense of impending doom. Derek's eyes darted to Emma, her determination shining through her fear. She was a brave soul, much like her brother, and Derek couldn't help but respect her opinion, even if he felt unsure about having her along."Emma, stick close," Derek instructed, his voice low but firm as they exited the mansion. The team moved swiftly, blending into the night as they walked the darkened streets. Zeoy took the lead, her eyes scanning for any sign of Klaus or Peter, her senses heightened by the adrenaline coursing through her veins.Boyd kept his gaze forward, his mind racing with thoughts of what Klaus might do now that he had Peter in his clutches. He knew the others could sense his worry, but there was no time for reassurances. They were all too aware of what was at stake.***************************************
"We need to leave. If Derek is willing to sacrifice his life for us, then we need to take the chance now and get out of here." Zeoy shouted at Boyd Gilbert adjusted his glasses and immediately ran towards Helena. He grabbed her by the waist and made way for the main gate. Emma looked at Zeoy angrily. "This was not the deal. You said you needed me to get my brother to corporate. Now that he doesn't, you want to leave him alone to die?" She yelled out her lungs. "Listen to me, kiddo. Your brother understands the sacrifices he needs to make for himself and the family. Do you think someone forced him to be here? He came willingly on his own because Kluas threatened to kill you all if he didn't." Zeoy looked into Emma's eyes, and she began to sob. "Please save him. Please save my brother." Emma fell on her knees despite the walls crumbling around her. Zeoy looked at her and back at Boyd and Helena. "Your brother is..." Emma raised her head slightly up, looking into her face. Zeoy stare
Zeoy felt a kind of power she had never felt before. She slowly removed herself from the iron rod that had impaled her against the wall. Derek also felt more powerful than ever. "What is going on?" Kluas shouted in anger. And then something else happened. A territory appeared on the ground, giving immense power to all the reapers. Peter's eyes glowed, and his cut began to heal. Emma looked up, and out of fright, she ran away from Peter. " How? You were supposed to be dead." Kluas shouted out of fright. He quickly moved fast towards Peter, and he was gripped down by Peter 2. A soft smile played on Peter's lips. "Do you think you can stop us? I am unstoppable, and now you are going to know how powerful I am." I shouted as I and Peter merged, becoming one. "Derek, get everyone out of here." I said, looking at Derek's face. "You heard the boss; let's get out of here." He said, looking at Zeoy. "I am staying." Emma shouted as Derek pulled her up from the dusty floor. "Don't worry, you
The tension was high as we drove towards the university grounds. "Do you think anyone is going to be on campus?" Helena asked, looking anxious. "We need to be certain that no one is there. Kluas would need a soul to merge with or go into extinction if he can't." I replied "Why not bond with anyone on the street? Why come down here?" Zeoy asked again. "I am not sure, alright. I don't know how a god is supposed to think." I replied harshly, and everyone was silent. "I am sorry, guys. I am just a bit anxious." "We all are." Derek said increasing the jeer We drove into the university grounds, and everywhere seems peaceful. "Do you think he is here?" Gilbert looked around. "He should be; I can feel him." I replied"This is what we are going to do. I want everyone to fan out and check the dorms. Search everywhere and give a call once you see anything or anyone that looks fishy." I replied I brought out a flash torchlight and gave it to everyone. "Don't engage; Kluas is dangerous, and
I felt my pulse quicken as I stared at Zack—or rather, at the being that had taken control of him. Kluas had merged with Zack’s body, his glowing eyes revealing the god's overwhelming presence, and the menace in his voice left no doubt. “You don’t have to do this, Zack,” I said, keeping my tone steady, though the tension in the air was palpable. My hand twitched slightly, ready to summon the power of the Reaper’s territory if needed. “Kluas is using you. He doesn’t care about you, he’s just trying to survive. Once he’s done, you’ll be nothing.” Zack laughed, the sound echoing off the empty court in a way that made my skin crawl. “You always were naive, Max. Kluas isn’t using me. We are one now. I’ve always wanted power, and now I have it—limitless, godlike power. Together, we’ll crush anyone who stands in our way.” I stood my ground, my eyes scanning the area for any advantage.I knew that fighting Zack head-on, while he was possessed by Kluas, wasn’t the best plan. Kluas, a god
