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.
