A scream suddenly erupted from the hall as then three women collapsed, and I see Emerson, Andrew and Sebastian with blood on their mouth.

Two men were suddenly slammed against the wall across the room, blood splattering the walls as screams echoed the ballroom.

That's when I turned to see Larisa and Shy stood in the middle of the room, blood smearing their fanged mouths and clawed hands.

The room then filled with screams and chaos as four people propelled from wires down to the dance floor, and I saw it was Leda, Julian, Hyacinth and Bella, our other maid.

Alexander and Lilith glared in surprise at everything.

I held Lynette close as she clung to me, and we hurried out of reach from the mayhem. "Run, hurry to Shy over there," I told her.

She nodded and hurried over, holding her skirt as she ran to Shy, who unsheathed her sword nd stood with Bella.

"SHY!!" Lynette screamed as she ran towards her, making her turn when suddenly.....

"NOT SO FAST!!" Alexander snarled and I saw as he waved his hand.

Lynette gasped as the corset constricted her waist tightly, almost immediately pulled to a wasp waist.

"NO!!!" I snarled and ran towards him, tackling him down to the ground.

"Lynette!!!" I hear Shy scream as she quickly grabbed me and rushed me to a nearby hall with Hyacinth, Larisa rushing in as they sat me on the ground. "Oh no!!!"

"I-Its getting tighter...." I gasped with a whimper as I felt my waist getting smaller and smaller.

"Quickly, get this off her, or she'll snap in half!!" Larisa exclaimed as I felt my ribs constricting into my lungs.

"I can't, its sewn tight!!" Shy said frantically as she tried ripping it open.

"I got it!!" Hyacinth said as she grew her claws out and quickly sliced the dress open, making a loud rip noise.

I breathed deeply as the corset immediately went slack and I panted with relief as Larisa and Shy hugged me.

"Thank goodness," Larisa said with relief as I clung to them both, Bella ripping the corset off me and tossing it aside. "Just take slow deep breaths, you're safe now.... We're here...."

"I'm sorry I ran away..." I murmured once I caught my breath.

"Don't. It was reckless, but you're safe now, that's all that matters," Larisa assured.

I took a deep breath,the soreness on my waist slowly going away.

"Do you guys have my bow....?" I asked.

"Here, its here," Shy said as she quickly handed me my bow and arrow. "Fully loaded with a new trick Alan added."

"Good," I said as they helped me stand and I steadied myself.

"We got you newer clothes, too. Quick change," Hyacinth said.

"Okay," I nodded as she handed me a bag.

Remington continued to try to fight Alexander, who then pulled out a large dagger to him.
