It was now the next morning. On a normal day, Emily would have gone out to jog as part of her morning routine. But this time was different. The first thing was she wanted to see Jason and again she was scared that if she leaves this early. Maybe the Dark Magician might come back for her.
After waiting for some time, she decided to leave and went to where Jason had been kept. Immediately she opened the doors the Individuals there recognized her immediately.
"Emily... Pemberton." Adam said as she walked inside. The other four also recognized Emily instantly.
"What do you want, Emily." Olivia said with a big smile on her face.
"The boy, Jason, did you hurt him." Emily asked, her face saddened.
"No we didn't Do much. We called a healer and he healed..." Nate couldn't complete his sentence as Emily had snapped.
"Why do you people have to always behave so rash." Emily said a little annoyed. "I want to see him and i am leaving with him."
They didn't bother objecting, besides they had no right to lock Jason any longer. They only locked him up because they taught, he had some connections to Miller's disappearance. But seeing her here and the way she wanted to take him, it was clear that he wasn't involved.
"Okay. But Emily who took. Can you remember the person?" Laura asked.
"That's one problem. I can't remember his face or if i even saw his face." Emily replied as she tried to think. But it was still blank.
"You can go with Jason. But me and the others can't leave yet." Adam said firmly as he scratched his little beards on his chin. "We can't leave until we find out who did this to you. It was an order given to us and therefore we can't leave yet."
Emily nodded as she understood who might have given such a command. It would be either her Father or her Uncle; The president himself.
"Thanks anyway. But i want Jason." She spoke.
"Just enter the door there." Matthews who had been quiet this whole time spoke pointing at a room door by his right.
"Thank you." Emily said giving him a sigh, but looked at the other four with a bit of disdain.
Finally, she reached the door and she opened it gradually and finally the doors were opened. When she saw Jason, she couldn't believe it. He was chained like a prisoner. There was a chain wrapped around his neck and another wrapped around his wrist and another wrapped around his wrist. The chains were attached to the floor and looked quite heavy, so that he wouldn't be able to budge a bit.
His face has Several bruises and for his lip, it was swollen. His left eye was also swollen and his right eye was red like the socket was about to leave. It didn't end there as he was only on his boxers. She could see some bruises on his chest and abdomen region. Even his legs had bruises.
Seeing her Jason tried to smile, but he couldn't hide the pain he was feeling and then he coughed out little drops of blood.
Seeing this Erin wanted to curse them instantly. But she kept quiet as she knew what the outcome of that situation would be. She instantly ran towards Jason. "Jason are you okay." Tears started leaving her eyes gradually bit by bit.
Jason looked up at Erin, his eyes conveying a mixture of gratitude, pain, and exhaustion. "I'm okay," he said, his voice a low croak. "Don't worry about me. Just get out of here, it's not safe for you."
"No way," Erin said, her voice firm. "I'm not leaving you here. I'm not letting them do this to you." She began to untie the chains that were holding Jason captive.
But a Powerful hand held her wrist. It was one of the Mutants, and he was much taller and bulkier than her. "Don't worry. I would do it myself." Nate said as he began to free Jason from the chains

In the Vampire Settlement, there was a meeting going on and King Nathan and all the ten leaders were present.
The room was large and imposing, with high ceilings and dark stone walls. The meeting table was made of a rich, dark wood, and it was surrounded by ten high-backed chairs. In each chair sat a member of the vampire council, all dressed in black robes. At the head of the table sat King Nathan, his white hair gleaming in the candlelight. He looked regal and imposing, his eyes scanning the room with an air of command.
The room was eerily silent, the only sound being the crackle of the candles and the rustle of robes as the vampires shifted in their seats.
"So i think we all know why we are here?" King Nathan asked.
They all nodded in unison.
"That's good." King Nathan said. "The Vampires were killed by the Werewolf Pack in Fort Valor Military Academy and they would have to pay the price."
"And I will not tolerate such disrespect towards the Vampire Settlement," King Nathan continued, his voice ringing with authority. "We must send a message that we will not be trifled with. The pack's actions are a direct attack on our sovereignty, and we will respond accordingly."
A murmur of agreement rippled through the room, and several of the vampire leaders leaned forward, their faces hard and determined.
"We must strike back swiftly and without mercy," one of the vampire leaders known as Gary said, his voice cold and hard. "We must show them the consequences of their actions."
"I agree." Another leader by the name of Jennifer said.
All of them in the room nodded in unison.
The king then spoke: "That's right. The pack must pay the price for their actions."
