The radio was playing softly in the front, but I didn’t know this driver, and that meant I didn’t trust him. “Just to the outskirts of Midnight City.” Ethan shot me his patented crooked grin. “I can’t say exactly where, though. It’s a surprise.”

A way out without being seen. Joe said yes. Behind the motel. A dirt road. It led to the highway. Luca said we would leave at midnight. Joe said he would cover for us. We packed again. Hope slept. Grace slept. I held them both. The clock ticked. At midnight, Luca opened the door. The parking lot was dark. The black sedan was still there. The engine was off. Luca whispered that we needed to move quietly. We carried the bags to the back of the motel.

The Following Night. 10PM. A Street Upstate New York, Off Campus Grounds. LILY. She tightened her grip on the steering wheel as the red Chevrolet Colorado rolled slowly through the quiet street, the dim streetlights casting long shadows across the road. Megan sat beside her, shifting slightly in her seat, her eyes flicking from the windshield to the empty sidewalks outside. The low hum of the engine was the only sound between them until Lily eased her foot off the pedal and pulled to a stop at the corner.

Every call ended with the same cold automated message: "The number you have dialed is powered off." Rather than searching with Marcel, Delilah returned home alone. Every corner of the house was filled with traces of Cedric. Model cars lined the shelves, watches sat neatly arranged across his desk, and plush toys rested obediently on the floor. "When I'm not home, let these little guys keep you company. Then you won't be afraid of the dark." His playful voice seemed to linger in her ears, as though he had never left. An overwhelming wave of guilt crashed over her.

I am supposed to be focused on saving my family business, finishing university, and behaving like a responsible adult.

POV RUBY The road to the Wicklow Mountains was a winding ribbon of asphalt that bled into the thick, Irish mist. The rain wasn't falling; it was hovering, a grey shroud that turned the world into a series of jagged silhouettes and ghostly light. Silas was at the wheel of the nondescript sedan, his eyes fixed on the narrow path ahead, while Nevan and I sat in the back, the blue glow of the Sovereign’s core illuminating our tired faces like a digital heartbeat.

This also caught Cara’s utmost attention, and she moved over to her side, curious about what was happening. “Shit! Are you fine?” “Yes, I am. But I’m scared. I’m on the dark side of the road.” She sounded scared, her voice cracking and trembling a little. “What the hell are you doing out in the middle of the road at this late hour?” The storm just subsided, and after all of that ferocious wind, it is not unlikely for any foreign things to have become dislodged and blown onto the road. It could be very hazardous to be out there. Not only that, the asphalt could still be wet and slippery.
