A breeze picks up, carrying the smell of damp soil and something older — burnt herbs and forgotten secrets. It’s Bianca who spots the stone first. Half-buried in the earth, covered in moss, carved with symbols that shift faintly when touched by sunlight. “Here,” she says, brushing it clean. Lumina crouches beside her, tracing the sigils with her fingers. Cold energy pulses from the stone, crawling up her arm. Her stomach knots. This is it. The ground shifts slightly as she presses the middle of the stone. A low grinding noise follows. Trees seem to bend away from them as an ancient wooden door rises slowly from beneath a thicket of roots. Dust spirals into the air.

“I was fine in that space, Damon. Away from this circus.” Her voice drops lower. “But I guess you needed me closer. Not that you’d ever say it.” I stand slowly and cross the floor until there’s barely an inch between us. “I needed you where I could see you,” I say, point blank. She blinks, thrown for half a second. But then she schools her face back into that wall she’s gotten so good at. “Don’t worry, Stone. Have what you want. A little over a year. Then you’ll never have to seal a door again.”

I scramble to my feet, hissing as the cold floor touches my bare feet. When did I take my shoes off? After finding them scattered on the floor, I quickly put them on. Then I unlock the door, my other hand flying to my head in an attempt to ease the pain.

I looked around and saw him standing at our front door, smirking at me. "I begged you to open the door for me, but you didn't. Look who's inside your house now. Me! And look who's outside enjoying the cold. You!" He cackled and shut the door. Wait, what? T.B.C. Noeline.

Hurry. The light seeping through the small barred window has begun to fade, painting the cell in deepening shades of grey. I measure my breaths and try to gather what little strength remains in my battered body. Then the lock on my door turns with that familiar heavy sound.

Margo's routine is a precision drill – gym, home, shower – and today's no different. Today, though, we're gearing up for more than just her post-workout cool down; we're preparing for a trip to New York City. A trap set for Preston. The door swings open, and Margo steps in, her gym bag slung over one shoulder. She halts mid-stride, eyes darting across the room to where I sit, disguised and nearly unrecognizable. Her body tenses as she backpedals slightly, confusion etched into her features. "Uh, excuse me, but who the hell are you?" A chu
