Sofia's View:
I saw Eliza's distress signal go off but no message. I hadn't left her timeline that long ago..

Aurora came downstairs and sat beside me. She was having a day off from school since she had a temperature.

* How are you feeling sweetheart?

* Tired..

She slouched into the sofa. I didn't want to worry her about Eliza and the others. I tried casting a spell to see her location but something blocked it.

This wasn't good.

I called Grim.

["Hey sis, what's up?"]

* Are you with Eliza?

["No I just finished a conference, why?"]

* When do you think you'll be home?

["A week maybe?"]

* Great, see you soon.

["What about Eli-"]

I hung up the phone. I made Aurora a cup of hot chocolate and turned on a movie she enjoyed, then I dropped Amelia off at daycare and went into the underground.

But nobody was there, weird. I tried calling Eliza's phone but nobody picked up. Something must've happened.

Elizas' View:
When the painful glitches had calmed down, I realised I was chained up in my own mind...but it was all empty. The person ahead of me, was Tord. He realised I had woken up and gave me my first order.

Deal with Player and Tom.

I couldn't control myself, I was being forced to-

I didn't hesitate to attack them, soon enough I locked Player in time. Tom began to attack and I blasted and cast spells. Tord had to help. But eventually, the job was done. He placed visors on them too.

I zoned back into reality and realised what I had just helped Tord to do.

//* Your boyfriend's on his way.\\

I tried to break loose from the chains but the glitches only increased, so I stopped.

* Tord you don't have to do this.

//* I really do though.\\

A few minutes passed in silence before I heard his voice.

"What the f%"

//* Grim.\\

'Grim, Eliza's been mind cont̷͍̠̫̣̖͋r̴̥̝̱̣̤̗̬̮̯͎̾̈̉̉̐̊͆͝o̴̬̜͉͍̥̻̮͛͜ļ̸̳̹̖̫̻̬̳̅̃͐̃̈́̈̄͂̕ḽ̶̩͚̓̃̔͒̏̽̕̚͠e̷̼̯̞̱̹͑̾̌̀d̸̨̺͕̮͕̭̮͚͉̎-'

Their voices stopped.

//* Why don't we give you another task.\\

* Tord don't do th-!

Eliza go get Grim.

I would turn to face Grim and teleport behind him, only to blast him against the opposite wall.

"ACK-"

I used a spell, creating a gun.

"Ohh no you don't."

He teleport, knocking the gun out of my hand. I grabbed him and slammed him into the floor.

"OW-"

I casted a spell, trapping him in a magic suppressing cell.

I blinked and was back in my mind, locked.
