Chapter 1 - CHAPTER 1- Abduction

 Hana was at home, engrossed in her books and studies, when suddenly she heard a noise behind her. She turned to see a man, tall and imposing, with piercing eyes that seemed to bore into her soul.

 "Who are you?" she demanded, trying to keep her voice steady."My name is Thane," the man replied, his eyes glinting with malice. "And you, Hana, are my captive."

 Hana was shocked and terrified. She tried to run, but Thane was too quick. He grabbed her and dragged her away from her home.

 As they walked, Hana realized that she was in grave danger. She didn't know where Thane was taking her or what he wanted with her."Let me go!" she shouted, struggling to break free.

 But Thane just laughed. "You're not going anywhere, Hana," he said. "You're mine now." Hana's heart raced with fear. She knew she had to think fast, or she would be trapped forever.

 As they approached a dark and ominous building, Hana knew she was running out of time. She had to escape, but Thane's grip was like a vice.

 Just as all hope seemed lost, Hana remembered the words of her mother: "You have the power within you, Hana. You just need to tap into it."

 With newfound determination, Hana focused all her energy on breaking free. She struggled and kicked, using every ounce of strength she had. But Thane was too strong. He overpowered her and dragged her inside the building.Hana was trapped. She had failed to escape.

 As Thane locked the door behind them, Hana knew she was in grave danger. She had to think fast, or she would be at Thane's mercy forever. But for now, she was trapped. And Thane was in control.

 Thane began to taunt her, his words dripping with malice. "You're mine now, Hana," he said. "You'll do my bidding, or suffer the consequences. Hana knew she had to think fast. She couldn't let Thane break her spirit. "I'll never give in to you," she said, her voice steady ,Thane just laughed. "We'll see about that," he said.

 And with that, he began to torture her, his methods cruel and inhumane. Hana screamed and screamed, but no one came to save her. She was alone, and at Thane's mercy. And as the hours passed, Hana knew she was in grave danger. She had to think fast, or she would never escape.

 But for now, she was trapped. And Thane was in control. Hana's world was a blur as Thane dragged her through the dark and winding streets. She stumbled, her feet scraping against the rough stone pavement. Thane's grip was unyielding, his fingers digging into her arm like vice grips. She tried to struggle, but he was too strong.

 As they walked, the buildings grew taller and more ominous. Hana's heart raced with every step. Where was Thane taking her? What did he plan to do with her?

 Finally, they arrived at a massive, foreboding palace. Its walls seemed to loom over her, casting long, ominous shadows. The entrance was a massive, iron-reinforced door with heavy-looking hinges and a large, old-fashioned keyhole.

 Thane produced a rusty key and unlocked the door with a satisfying click. He pushed Hana inside, and she stumbled into a grand, high-ceilinged hallway. The air was thick with dust and the stench of decay.

 Hana's eyes adjusted slowly to the dim light. She saw cobweb-covered chandeliers, faded tapestries, and a sweeping staircase that curved like a ghostly ribbon. But it was the walls that made her blood run cold. They were adorned with strange symbols, etched in a language she didn't understand.

 "Welcome to my home," Thane said, his voice dripping with malice. "You'll be staying here...for a while."

 Hana's heart sank. She knew she had to escape, but the palace seemed like a labyrinth. She'd need to find a way out before Thane's true intentions were revealed.

 As Thane led her deeper into the palace, Hana noticed something strange. The symbols on the walls seemed to be pulsing with a faint, eerie glow. She felt a shiver run down her spine. What secrets did this palace hold? And what did Thane plan to do with her?
