ISOLDES POV

My chest felt tight. Too tight.

Like breathing was becoming go hard to do.

“What is it?” I asked again, louder this time. “What the hell is that thing?!”

Anna didn’t look at me. Her hands stayed raised, voice still moving through those strange words.

Cairos answered instead.

Low. Careful.

“…It’s not supposed to have a form.”

I blinked. “That’s your answer?!”

“It means,” he continued, eyes fixed on the thing, “it’s using something it knows you’ll respond to.”

My stomach twisted.

    ISOLDES POVMy breath came out shaky.“I don’t know how to control anything!” I snapped. “I just got here .. I don’t know what this is!”“That doesn’t matter,” Cairos said, steady, unshaken even with that thing right in front of him. “It’s already part of you.”“I didn’t sign up for this!”“No one does.”“Great!”The thing moved again.Not fast this time.Slow. Careful.It was studying me now instead of attacking.Its head tilted slightly.“…There you are,” it whispered.A chill ran down my spine.“What does that mean?” I asked, my voice smaller now.It didn’t answer me.Instead, it took one step closer.And the air between us warped.I felt it again— That pull.But different this time.Not dragging. Calling.Like it expected me to come to it.My body leaned forward slightly before I even realized it.“No—” I caught myself quickly, stepping back. “Nope. Not happening.”Cairos’ voice came low behind me. “Don’t resist it like that.”I turned to him sharply. “Which one do you want me to

    ISOLDES POVMy breath came out uneven.I couldn’t look away.His eyes… They were the same.The same red I saw this morning.The same red I thought I imagined.Except now.. I wasn’t imagining anything.“…You lied,” I whispered.Cairos didn’t answer immediately.His gaze stayed locked on the thing on the stairs, his body tense, like he was holding something back.“I didn’t lie,” he said finally, voice low. “I just didn’t tell you everything.”“That’s the same thing!” I snapped, my heart racing.The thing laughed again.“She’s mad…mad at you…”“Shut up!” I yelled, my voice cracking now.My head was spinning.Nothing made sense anymore.Alara. The hospital.This town. Him.Everything felt like it was breaking apart at the same time.“Isolde,” Cairos said, sharper now. “Focus.”“Don’t tell me to focus!” I shot back. “You’ve been hiding things from me since I got here!”“And you haven’t?” he fired back instantly.That shut me up.For half a second.Because he was right.The thing took anoth

    ISOLDES POVThe moment the words left my mouth, the air shifted again.Not just heavy this time…Like it was about devour everything in its way..The whisper from the stairs changed.It wasn’t soft anymore.It sharpened.Like it had heard me.Like it felt me.“Oh God…” I breathed, my chest tightening painfully.Cairos moved closer instantly, his voice low and urgent. “Don’t panic.”“I’m not panicking,” I said quickly. “I’m just… very aware that something up there wants me!”“Not helping,” Anna snapped, her voice rising as her hands moved faster, tracing symbols in the air.The runes flared brighter under our feet.The pull inside my chest intensified.It hurt now.Like something was tugging at a thread tied deep inside me, trying to pull it loose.I gasped softly, my body tensing. “It’s… it’s pulling harder—”“I know,” Cairos said, stepping even closer. His hand hovered near my arm like he wanted to grab me but was holding himself back. “Stay with me, Isolde. Focus on me.”I looked at

    ISOLDES POVI froze“I WASN’T—” I stopped mid-sentence. “Actually, you know what? Never mind.”I exhaled sharply, forcing myself to focus on anything else. The floor. The symbols. Anna was humming softly in the background, as if this were completely normal.Then it was my turn.I hesitated. My hands hovered over my clothes.“This is ridiculous,” I muttered.“Just get it done,” Anna said without looking back.I clenched my jaw. “If I die, I’m haunting all of you.”No one answered.Great.I turned away from Cairo as much as I could and quickly started getting undressed, just trying to get it over with whatever this is.Top off. Jeans off. Fast. No thinking.My face stayed hot the entire time, as it had personally decided to betray me.I kept my focus anywhere but him, forcing my mind to behave.It didn’t really listen. Even my nipples stood hard and aroused.By the time I straightened up, I caught movement from the corner of my eye.I froze.Slowly, I turned my head.Cairo was looking a

    ISOLDES POVAnna stood there clearly tired.“Enough,” she said sharply, clapping her hands once like she was ending a conversation. “I need you both to get naked so I can start the ritual.”The silence that followed was so heavy it felt like the house itself froze with us.I stared at her. “…What?”“Naked,” she repeated calmly, like she was asking us to move furniture.My brain lagged behind my ears. “Like… clothes off naked?”“Yes,” Anna said. “Butt naked.”I froze completely.For a second, I actually wondered if I’d blacked out and entered some alternate version of reality where this was normal.“I’m not getting naked with him,” I said immediately, pointing at Cairos without looking at him. My face burned hot. “Absolutely not. No. That’s insane.”Anna sighed like I was the difficult one here. “It’s not what you think.”“It is EXACTLY what I think,” I shot back. “I just got told I’m possibly being hunted by invisible things and now you want me to undress in front of the man who keeps
