All Chapters of The Secret Moonbird, Hellblades Series Part 2 of 3: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Uncle Eren’s POVI paced, my boots clicking against the rock in a rhythm that matched my frantic heartbeat. My chest was a cage of anxiety, the bars tightening with every second that passed.“what is taking so long?” I said in frustration.“I don’t know,” Pelin answered me, stepping closer to me. She reached out, giving my arm a supportive squeeze to ground me. “I’m sure she’s fine, Eren. You should’ve seen her with the Zodiac Beasts, she was a total boss babe!” She said admiringly.I looked at her, wanting to believe it, but the memory of those stone statues coming to life still made my skin crawl.“Yes, Uncle! She’s fine!” Adem added, his voice cracking with a mix of bravado and nerves. He stood tall, trying to look like the man he was soon becoming.Adlee didn’t miss a beat. He stepped into the light of the flickering lights the museum had installed and struck a pose, grinning broadly. “She’s stronger than she looks,” he chimed in, flexing his muscles until his sleeves strained. “B

Sophia Polemaenus POVI stepped out through the heavy doors of the library with grace. That Idiot Eren had finally finished and my hunger wasn’t satisfied.I barely had a breath of fresh air before Pelin nearly leaped at me. Her eyes were wide, frantic, and she looked like she was about to vibrate out of her skin.“I want to go next!” she demanded, her voice shrill and impatient. She didn’t even give me a second to speak.I felt the familiar prickle of irritation.I wrinkled my small nose, looking her up and down with as much scorn as I could muster.This little human had no grace.“Know your place and let me speak first,” I snapped, my voice cutting through her panic.“Eren has completed his challenge. You two look the same; you can go in as one. This rude woman here can wait!”I stomped my foot in annoyance, waiting for the challenge to start.Adem and Adlee, the twins, were fast to adapt and apparently much smarter than their sister. They saw the feisty, dangerous glint in my eyes

Pelin’s POVThe heavy library door groaned as I shoved it open, the sound echoing through the library that somehow felt like a dying breath. My heart didn’t just beat; it hammered against my ribs, like a frantic bird in a cage. Thats when I saw them.Adem and Adlee.My dearest brothers.They were suspended from the vaulted ceiling, hanging upside down.Their faces, usually bright with mischief and stubbornness, were drained of color, their eyes glazed and unseeing.The air in the room was thick, smelling of old parchment and something that felt like a grave.“No,” I whispered, the word catching in my throat. My blood turned to ice. “Sophia, what did you do?! Release them!” It felt like an ice cold hand gripped my heart.I stepped forward, my hand instinctively reaching for the hilt of the Hellblade at my hip. “You bitch, where are you and your sisters hiding? Show yourself!”“Well, well, well… the feisty one finally came!”Sophia’s voice bounced off the golden-leafed walls, shimmering

Manolya’s POVOn the other side, I stood still, scanning what lay before me.Shallow, circular pools of water surrounded me, rippling faintly by the cool wind.I frowned, my gaze sweeping across the strange, unfamiliar landscape.There were no trees.Nothing but open, endless space.I waited.It felt like forever before Uncle Eren finally stumbled out of the door behind me.“You made it!” he said, pulling me into a tight hug.“Those sisters are awful,” he added, his voice shaken, his expression still horrified.“They really are. I’m so glad you’re safe,” I said, exhaling softly.“Let’s wait for the others,” Eren said, glancing back at the door.“But where are we?” he asked after a moment, his voice edged with unease as he scanned the ground again.“I haven’t the slightest idea,” I admitted, my arms folding slightly as I looked around once more.“I only know this is the moonbird’s door… which means the moonbird has to be here somewhere, right?”“I suppose so… never thought a bird would

Pelin’s POVWhen the blood touched the paper, I saw familiar faces.Adem.Adlee.Hava.Cemal.Manolya.Uncle Eren.They were my family.Sophia’s delighted face turned to me. “See? She gave herself up for you. Now you can stay here in your VIP room forever if you want to while she rots here in the library. You didn’t even have to choose.” She chirped.Shadows danced before my eyes. My breath caught, my heart pounding so hard it felt like it might stop.“No… no, this can’t be happening!”“Manolya, why did you do this? I was supposed to choose. The choice was mine. Why did you take that away from me?!”My knuckles turned white.“You can’t play these corrupted games, Sophia!” I screamed at her. “What do you want me to do with fame and fortune? I will not use it for useless leverage. I can make it on my own, you’ll see. I don’t need your help!”Sophia tilted her head, looking at me like I was a lost puppy. “So sad, Pelin. You think you don’t need my help, but you’ll see… you do. Because wi
