Miron’s story I waited a whole week for this phone call to come. And it did. This time we were all at the studio when Sarah called with another riddle.

Micron’s storyAll of my friends could see that I turned white as a sheet of paper. They gathered around my but also living me space to breathe. - What does the paper say?I was still frozen in front of that single word that was written on the paper. How can one simple word shook me entirely and my world too?- It says „death”- Death???Corrine was also astonished making the connection with what had happened to her earlier. She was really scared now because she didn’t know if the note was referring to her or was another threat to Rita.- I am sure this has nothing to do with you…- How can you be so sure? The woman almost got me killed.As she was going further with the explanations she began shaking incontrollable. I had to hold her because she couldn’t control herself. - Calm down please, Corrine! I will protect you! Haven’t I already done it?She stopped for a second from shaking and found my worried gaze. I felt so helpless,

Rita’s storyThe next morning I found myself chained instead of tied up as usual. I tried to move my hands a bit but it was impossible. The chain was actually digging into my skin leaving wounds hard to look at. I wonder when and how Sarah did that. And how come I did not feel that? I looked at Belle on the other chair. She was like into a deep sleep. I wasn’t feeling good myself either. I felt like I was dizzy. - Belle? Hey, Belle, wake up!But there was no answer and I was beginning to be afraid. What if she was dead? And what is that smell? Was like…chloroform? And besides, how do I know how chloroform smells?Is part of my memory coming back? I hope so because living in this hole is like walk into a dark night knowing you can physically see but you struggle to adjust your eyes to that dark. Was there any possibility that I had something to do with this chloroform?Finally Belle was giving signs of waking up. Slowly but she was. - Oh my God Belle, you are alive

Rita’s storyI am so sick and tired of this house, most of all now being pregnant. My morning nausea is not gone yet and I struggle to survive. Belle helps me but I miss the sun, the air, I miss my walks, and especially I miss my Miron. Sometimes I wonder what could this happen to me? I don’t have any weapons to defend myself only my sharp mind and the feeling of relief that Sarah is not going to kill me…yet. Belle left this morning making some errands but she said she would be back soon, just before Sarah realizes she was missing. I didn’t stay too much alone, as Annabelle returned quicker than I thought. - Your back!- I am and I bring news. I went to see Adam Oakland.- Really? But you said that maybe is not such a good idea? What made you change your mind?- You did. After we had that conversation yesterday I figured that you deserve to know who is on your side and who is not. And besides this is no place for you or the baby. You have to go to

Rita’s storyI have been waiting anxiously for Belle to come back; whether she managed to talk to Miron on time and if he left for Bibury. I hate Sarah so much. If intuition does not deceive me, that woman is in real danger. I just hope Miron will be there on time to save her. I barely finished my thoughts when Belle rushed through the door.- It is done. I have talked to him and he is on his way to Bibury. So relax, he is not going to let anything bad happen to her.- Thank God you found him home. You cannot walk everywhere. Someone might see you and tells Sarah. I bet she has a lot of spies.- You are actually right Rita, I haven’t thought that far.I am very sure that Sarah has her own people in the city. She is also dangerous and very well guarded. I wouldn’t be surprised if one-day armed men would storm in here threatening poor Belle. She has to be very careful. - I have another surprise for you, Rita.- Surprise? It is so unusual to
