Jay-Jay's Point of View
As soon as I left Drew's house, I began looking around to find the president of our club, but in the end, all I saw was a black car without license plates.
Wait… a black car without license plates?
It seemed suspicious to me, so I quickened my pace, heading toward the exit.
Since I kept looking back, I crashed into a pole with great force.
"Argh!" I screamed.
Well, maybe at least it'll add some brains to me.
Because my brain is constantly filled with thoughts about food. Damn, even now I'm thinking about it.
Why was I even running?
Ahhh… right, I was running from the black car!
I immediately jumped up and looked around. Before I could even blink, something heavy hit me in the head.
Well, at least I thought about food one last time…
When I opened my eyes again, I thought I was going blind because the light was so bright that I couldn't keep them open.
When my vision stabilized, I looked around and saw Freya, Mika, Rakka, and Honey.
But what truly shocked me was who else I saw.
It was Keigan and Keiran… Damn, no, they shouldn't be here.
Wow, for once my brain isn't thinking only about food.
I tried to stand up, but I couldn't. Oh right, I'm tied to a chair.
I looked around again, and this time I saw the monster… I mean, Keifer's father.
Oh no, he shouldn't be here, because he'll take Keiran.
Wow, I keep surprising myself—my brain is working so fast.
The pole actually helped.
Alright, I need to think about how to get them out of here.
I decided to draw the monster's attention.
"Hey, monster!" I shouted. He immediately turned around, and so did the others. No way, it actually worked.
"Tss…" Wow, he really is Keifer's father.
"Untie me," I said.
But he didn't react, he only whispered something to the man in black.
Then my gaze fell on the girls, who looked completely exhausted.
Were they beaten?
And suddenly a strong blow to my stomach tore me out of my thoughts.
"Ugh!" I screamed in pain.
"Jay!" everyone shouted at the same time.
Then several more blows hit me: in the back, thighs, legs, arms, and stomach.
I could barely breathe. But then I remembered Keiran and Keigan.
I quickly freed myself and started striking each man in black one by one.
Damn, where is the king of the demonic snakes?
Ah, never mind, now's not the time.
I fought with all my strength, and it was working.
They tried to hit me, but I was still holding on.
Is this really the same endurance Angelo has?
I tried to reach Keiran and Keigan, but the men in black blocked my way.
"Damn!" the man in black yelled when I landed a strong punch to his jaw.
Wow, I'm actually doing pretty well.
My whole body already hurt, but I had to save them.
Come on, where are those snakes and their king?
I need them so badly right now…
I noticed that Keigan and Keiran were most likely beaten too.
And how am I supposed to protect them now if I can't even protect myself?
I feel like I'm about to break.
"You're already getting on my nerves!" I shouted at the men.
And that monster only smirked.
His smile pisses me off.

Keifer's Pov
I left the school, but I couldn't find my queen anywhere.
I had a strange feeling, as if something had happened to her.
But I decided to just go home—she was probably tired after the exam.
When I got home, I found no one: neither Keigan, nor Keiran, not even Honey was there.
Fear grabbed hold of me.
I quickly picked up my phone.
And then I saw a message from an unknown number with a location.
And the scariest part—I saw the girls, my brothers, and most importantly, Jay fighting some men all by herself.
It was the monster, I'm sure of it.
I quickly called Edricks and asked him to gather the entire Section "E".
At the same time, I rushed in my car toward my queen and my brothers.
I was terribly worried about them.
I even ran red traffic lights just to get there faster.
Of course, I arrived before Section "E".
I walked up to the entrance. A gang of men in black was standing there.
"Get out of the way!" I shouted at them, but they just smirked.
And one by one, they started rushing at me with fists.
So I had to fight.
Soon the entire Section "E" arrived. But I didn't see Yuri.
Everyone from Section "E" fought alongside me, and when I saw that they were handling it, I ran further.

Aries's Pov
It was already 16:32, and she still hadn't arrived.
I was starting to worry.
I decided to call Yuri—maybe she was with him—but he didn't answer.
I called Keifer too, but he didn't answer either. Then I saw that he sent me a location.
But the next thing I saw was a message:
"JAY IS IN DANGER"
I immediately rushed downstairs.
I wanted to call Angelo, but then I heard him shout:
"Damn, Jay is in danger! Aries, let's go!"
We quickly got into Angelo's car and drove to Jay's location.
While we were driving, he kept muttering something under his breath.
We arrived quickly, got out, and ran toward the entrance of the abandoned building.
There I saw Section "E" and Percy fighting.
I ran to help them, but Angelo went further.

Jay-Jay's Pov
Damn, with every hit I'm getting weaker and weaker… I'm about to break.
I need at least some kind of help.
But I need to fight for their sake.
I haven't broken yet.
I can still walk—which means I can still fight.
---
Keifer's Pov
I fought everyone I saw, and then I saw Angelo.
I felt relieved—we'd reach Jay faster now.
Without saying a word, Angelo started helping me.
Together we reached the main gate. Of course, men in black were standing there.
We started fighting them until we defeated all of them.
We opened the gates—and then I saw…

Jay-Jay's Pov
I defeated every last one of them, and only Kaiser remained. I ran up to him when suddenly he aimed a gun directly at my head.
"Did you forget that I'm a professional killer?"
Ah yes, I once challenged him.
"How about one-on-one without weapons?" I challenged him.
Suddenly he threw the gun aside and took off his gloves.
"Remember, you challenged me yourself," he said.
He immediately punched me in the stomach. It hurt, but I held back my tears.
I tried to hit him, but I couldn't—I kept missing.
Tears streamed down my face not only from pain, but because I felt helpless.
He was beating me down.
"Let them go!" I screamed.
"Why would I?" he said mockingly.
"You'll only take them over my dead body."
"As long as I'm alive, you won't take them."
He was about to knock me out with the final blow when I stopped him with my question:
"What did my mother do to you?"
"She promised she would help take the wealth from me from the Siren, but instead she only helped her protect it."
So that's what this is about…
"Tss… childish."
He didn't react and hit me with one final powerful blow.
And then the door burst open, and the entire Section "E", Percy, Aries, Angelo, and Keifer entered.
Finally…
From that hit, I could no longer stay on my feet.
My eyes were closing, and I was falling.
But before I fell, someone caught me.
It was Keifer. ❤️
Maybe I'm dying… I need to at least confess properly before I die.
"I love you, Mark Keifer Watson." ❤️
