All I see is darkness right now. I do not even know if I am dead or alive, either way, I cannot see a thing. I think I am alive since I feel a swelling in my head. Anytime I move my head, it hurts. It felt like someone hit me hard with a gun at the back of my head. I tried to stop the pain by moving my hands to rub my head, but my hands are trapped. It feels like someone tied me up tightly with a rope. I wanted to scream and curse, but my mouth is covered with duct tape. Making it hard for me to breathe as I freak out. My heart is beating fast and it is hard to move or escape.

I wish I knew who did this to me. The last thing I remembered was seeing a reflection of a person wearing a black mask. I do not know if that person was a man or a woman. Frankly, I do not care what gender they are. All I care about is escaping, putting an end to the killer, and saving everyone I care about. This has to end!

I hear footsteps approaching my direction, the footsteps are loud and multiplying. I want to be optimistic and think that Seni, my family, Julian's child, and the rest of the WOA agents are coming to rescue me. But judging by the way I have been tied up, I think it is the enemies. I just hope it is not someone I know that is behind all of this. If it is, I will never forgive them.

There is someone close to me, breathing heavily on my neck. If I could smell right now, I know their breath does not smell that great. But feeling this person breathe on me is making me feel uncomfortable.

"I think our guest is awake." A man with a deep voice said. I cannot decipher who that voice belongs to. The voice does sound familiar though.

"Take off her mask and let's get this party started." Now, I am hearing a feminine voice. It is one thing having a man behind this but knowing that a woman is helping out is upsetting.

The man takes off the mask covering my face. The light does blind me for a second, but my vision is getting slightly better. What I am witnessing right now took me by surprise. My family's house was all cleaned up, with no items on the floor, no blood, and no messes. There are balloons, food at the kitchen table, a big birthday cake, and a lot of tied-up individuals wearing black masks. What is going on here? I do not know what psychological game they are playing, but this is strange. 

Then, a ton of people wearing dark ski masks arrive at the kitchen table. Why is everyone wearing a black mask? Why is there a birthday party happening? What is even going on right now? I have so many questions.

All of the dark-mask people stand beside the other tied-up individuals. They remove their masks, I let out a shriek once I found out who got captured. Seni, all of my family members, Agent Park, Agent Rye, Agent Elite, Agent Thorn, Agent Meduza, and Agent Indigo have been tied up. I could not scream, but a lot of tears fell from my eyes seeing all the people I care about in bondage. This is not what I wanted to see in my lifetime. They are all trying to scream and escape. I even see defeat in their eyes as there is no hope. I do not blame them because I do not know what is going to happen to us.
