Niklaus goes out in search for Elisa, since he's about to make the announcement to the entire public. He won't waste anymore time as he has already seen the consequences of his initial delay.
He continues the but doesn't seem to find her.
' Darn! Why won't the damn visions . . . Why can't I just see the visions now. That little witch dares to play a hide and seek game with me ', he says to himself.
He calls for Vatler and tells him to instruct the guards to search the mansion.
The guests started to notice something wrong, but no one dares to say a word or they might just be holding their last drink.
It's starting to get late and there's still no news of her. He decides to use a location spell.
' Why didn't I think of this ? ', he says to himself. He tries tracking her but there's no sign of her anywhere.
' A cloaking spell ? ' or . . .
No ! He refused to take the other answer as an option. He goes to the library takes out his mother's grimoire and searches for a counter spell to cloaking spells. He casts them but still he doesn't seem to find her. Which could oy mean two things . . .
Either she's dead or she left the island . Niklaus for some reason unknown to him refused to explore the option that Elisa is dead. So he concledes that she probably left the island.
Soon, Vatler comes in an notifies him that Kristan was also missing. On hearing that, Niklaus'rege multiplied.
How could she leave him for the weak bastard.
He immediately sends out, a team of assassins to pin down their location and bring them to him.
He's mind keeps on drifting to why Elisa would leave him behind and go away with some stranger. He still trying to figure out why he's overthinking, literally everyone in his life had betrayed him except Vatler.
He goes over to his private room to have a drink.
______________________________________
Kristan and Elisa have finally arrived on the mainland, they aren't with much money so they lodge in one bedroom at a hotel.
They packed at the early hours of the morning, so they rest a bit before u packing and getting ready for breakfast.
" So what now ", she finally asks
" Hey, Elisa I know this is a new environment but you'll get use to it, okay "
" So . . . Umm why did you bring me along. I can't seem to find a reason why. I lied to you, I'm the reason, Niklaus is on your tail in the first place, so why let me tag along "
" I don't Elisa, it's because I have . . . Umm . . . I have feeli . . . . " They star hearing loud sounds from downstairs. Kristan stares out the window.
" Oh my goodness, they're here early. . . ", he says confusion evident in his eyes. Droplets of sweat begins to run down his features.
" Who's here early ? ", she asks confused.
" Elisa you have to get out of here now, I don't think I can do this ", he yells
" Do what, Kristan, talk to me ! " she shouts back, seekings answers to all her unanswered questions.
* I said leave ! "
" Why ? "
" So I don't have to sell you off " , the moment he stays it, he's full of regret. But he decides she deserved to know the truth.
" What ? . . . I . . I don't understand "
" Your Father told me if I was able to bring you out here, that he was gonna pay me handsomely. I am so sorry, Elisa, I didn't mean to. At first, I wanted to do it, but now . . . . Now that I've gotten to know you and care about you, I can't let them have you. I don't know your reason for running but you must have a good one, so right now you need to get out if here " , Elisa is speechless, she can't seem to process all she was just told. She stares at him until her eyes get blurry and tears begin to flow.
He tries to wipe them away but she slaps his hand away.
" Then why . . . Why change your mind all of a sudden, huh ? ", her voice comes out like a whisper.
" It's because, I don't know . . . . I love you"
" No ! Don't say that to me. I trusted you over Niklaus, guess I know now who the actual monster is "
" No ! Elisa don't compare me to him "
" What's the difference ? Huh ? Tell me ! ! " She shouts.
" I can't talk right now, Elisa, you have to leave "
She remembers that she's supposed to run. She would have used magic to stop time but she was feeling weak and magic drains her energy even more. She runs out the back stairways and out of the hotel. She continues to run , run and run. Her body starts feeling weak, her head spinning, herlegs woobly. She can no longer see probably, the view blurry and she can't tell if it's from the crying or the weakness.
Before she could realize what's going on, she blacks out.
