"You need to call it off. Call the students back Harley!" Cara yelled." We'll have innocent blood on our hands if this goes side ways."
The council was all gathered pissed at Harley for sending kids to their death. Harley maintained a calm posture looking at the yelling adults.
"Give up Cara , he won't call it off" Julia said standing from her sit.
Cara sighed looking at the stone cold Harley.
"You sent both of my daughters on a suicide mission..." Gina said in a dark sinister chuckle. "If this goes side ways and so much as a scratch appears on their skin...." She moved closer to Harley. "I will rip your throat out with my teeth and have my pack feast on your bones..."
Harley felt a shiver ran down his spine and the room was utterly silent. "It won't..." Harley said tearing his gaze from Gina's death glare.
Levi who was watching the students practice from the window. "Harley you're playing with fire here. We stopped this deeds way back. This is ment for the dark ages..."
Cara nods. "This is what led to Mariana being in her state. My sister got so caught up she couldn't escape..."
Harley sighs." Trust me when I say. I know what am doing..."

Harry was sharpening his sword in the armory when he heard footsteps coming towards him. He turned to see Macy. She looked desolate and scared.
"Tell me you didn't know..." Macy said.
Harry sighed." You found out..." He walked towards her and gently cupped her cheek.
"They are trading the souls of the intrepids for a truce with the shadows?" Macy questioned. " Why?!"
"Look if Mariana is released then havock will reign. It's probably for the best"
Macy pulled away from his touch. She scoffed. " No way!"
Harry watched as she paced around the room. " What can you do. It's for the greater good."
Macy stopped and looked at him." You're brother is going to die and your okay with this? !"
Harry clenched his fists. " Chase is not who everyone thinks he is. He's a fucking monster!"
Macy was stunned by Harry's words. Chase and Harry were like all typical siblings. Fights and stupid arguments but not this was new.
Harry sighed. "You must have heard that Chase sacrificed himself to protect everyone..." He started off looking to a map nearby. Macy nodded approaching him. "Well that is a lie the vampires said and the council to prevent wars."
"Why?"
"Cause Chase was the cause of all of it. The rip in the barrier was his fault. He is a ticking time bomb." Harry said. "He's like a beacon to the shadows."
Macy was confused. "What do you mean a beacon to the shadows"
Harry scoffed. "How many people have you heard were freed up by the shadows alive with their soul intact...." Macy had a thoughtful expression." None! And yet he was. Do you think it's a coincidence"
Macy started piecing shit together.
"He had a reason to come here. And it was not to help us" Harry said.
He was after me...Macy thought to herself. He came for her. The rest were just pieces. Macy finally pieced it all together. She looked up at Harry who was lost in his memories.
"I need to go. I just remembered something..." Macy said rushing out before he could stop her.

Macy scrambled through the books in the library looking for one book . "Come on!"
Finally she found it. The Book of Mintz that contained spells known to be difficult to perform. As she read it she finally understood what Chase did.
Macy read and discovered that Chase tethered his life to her. Their powers were one. He connected them meaning if he's hurt she'll feel it and if he dies she will too.
Macy's closed the book she had to stop Chase from dying. Cause if he did it will lead to her immediate death and Mariana would be free.
"Fuck!" Macy cursed as she looked up for a way to unbind them and it was through a forbidden art. Blook magic. And was not a hundred percent assured to work.
Macy stormed out of the Library pissed at Chase. Why the fuck had Chase come back? What was his plan?
She needed to talk to the one person who might know. But she knew she shouldn't get her hopes high as they might not be willing to even bat an eye to help her.
