My eyes were darting in all directions frantically as I hid in the dim room below whilst holding my child close. The door to the basement had been kicked off of its hinges, and through the crack at the bottom, I could see the distinct black heels of something, or someone, roaming the floor above. The snap of the wood was so loud, that they must have found them! I was scared out of my mind, my grip on my child was incredibly strong. I didn't want to let go for anything!

"Where could they be?" Lady Dimitrescu muttered to herself. She knew she had seen them come into the house, and yet, as she and her daughters searched every crevice and corner of the house above, they hadn't found anything. Her daughters were growing restless, tired of being in the cold and damp, and so after a while, she called off the search. Lady Dimitrescu left the house, but not before one of her daughter Cassandra whispered a final word in her ear, "Mom? You know where she is."

My eyes widened in fear as I heard the footsteps disappear. I listened for another minute, hoping it was true, before I slowly let go of my child and crept out from our hiding spot. The room outside the door was empty, and I turned to find my child, but they were gone! My eyes widened in fear again as a feeling of pure terror took over me, and I dropped down, frantically searching for my child.

As I searched for my child I held so dearly for what felt like hours, another snap of wood made me jump out of my skin. I could hear something moving about the house, and I had to force myself to stay still, trying to hide and keep quiet, waiting for whatever was making those sounds to go by. But then, a voice made my eyes go wide again. "Darling~ Why are you hiding? You know you can't hide from me forever~" It was a soft voice that carried the faintest sense of menace underneath. Lady Dimitrescu. I knew I had to hide, and hide quickly, trying to stifle my breathing and move across the floor as silently as physically possible.

I had to bite down on my lip so hard to stop myself from crying, or worse, screaming out loud. Lady Dimitrescu was now roaming through the entire house, and my legs were going numb from being folded up in a crouch. I couldn't hear myself think over the thumping of my heart, and my eyes darting every way I could get them to in the darkness. After what felt like ten minutes, I heard a slam of a door. I relaxed, and then realized how quiet everything was. I sat still, breathing heavily as I listened quietly to the sounds of the night, waiting to hear Lady Dimitrescu's unmistakable voice, but there was nothing. I could feel my breath slowing, and took the chance to creep out of the closet and slowly walked myself upstairs, my feet still numb. I listened as I walked up the stairs to find out if Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters were really gone, and, to my surprise, I heard nothing.

I stopped, and decided to peek my head out of the doorway and, to my complete and utter surprise, Lady Dimitrescu and her daughters were gone. I quickly checked every room, the kitchen, the dining room, the study, and even the bedrooms, and yet, there was nothing. I took a step back and sat down. I felt my back against the wall and sunk onto the floor into a squat and took in a deep breath. I could feel a few soft sobs rising in my chest, and... I couldn't stop myself from crying. I cried for my child, who, as far as I knew, was captured. I cried and cried, hugging my own body as I let all my emotions out in a flood of sobs. I didn't know how long I sat there, in the same position, my tears staining the fabric of my clothes as I slowly rocked back and forth, but eventually, when I exhausted myself, I felt calm once more.

I still didn't want to leave the safety of that place, and... I heard something. The sounds of footsteps from afar. I listened closely, and sure enough, it sounded like someone was approaching the house. I, felt a sudden boost of adrenaline, scrambling to my feet and starting to run up the stairs, quietly shutting the door leading down to the basement. There was no way I was going to let whoever just showed up find me.

~<{Thanatos's Pov}>~

I was captured by Lady Dimitrescu and I was absolutely terrified of what was happening and where my mother was. The cage I was sat in was practically part in the dark surroundings and I was chained against the wall once more, shivering and alone, I wanted to be with my mother, we managed to escape and it was taken from us before we could even enjoy the feeling. It was dark and cold causing me to shiver and feeling my fingertips go numb, and the scent of mold and death was in the air. I was stuck hanging from the wall in freezing chains whilst my body slowly started to react to the cold and my head was to cold to be able to hear my own thoughts as my heartbeat sat in my ears as a white noise, blocking all sounds from around my surroundings.

I looked around, the cage in which I was trapped seeming to be like it was made of bone. At first I thought the cage was alive and was trying to swallow me, but it was just an illusion caused by the fear coursing through my body. I called for my mother again and again, but nothing returned to me other than my own breath, ragged and slow returned.I had been trapped for what felt like an eternity, and the loneliness was starting to feel incredibly unbearable. I had never been captured so quickly before, and I could only feel fear as the time between calls to my mother increased and my voice grew hoarse. I knew my mother would find me, one way or another, but every second, that hope seemed to disappear slightly, my thoughts becoming more and more negative.

I was freezing, and had been crying. I was now so tired and wanted to sleep, because maybe it was all a dream. I closed my eyes and let my body relax, waiting for the exhaustion to overwhelm my senses. I wanted to sleep, and wanted to hope that what happened today had been a dream. I wanted to hope that I would open my eyes and see the sun shine through the window, and for the birds to sing whilst my mother is sitting at the window with a cup of coffee waiting for me to wake up, but all of this was false and I knew it... I just hoped me and my mother had more time with our freedom than we did.

~*(Narrator Pov)*~

Lady Dimitrescu's mind was racing. She didn't know what to do to lure Nyx out, but knew that she would have some ideas. She had the element of surprise right now, and wanted to maximize it. She thought about how much her daughters would enjoy the hunt, but they would just cause more trouble if they were involved. She had to think of something that would catch Nyx's attention, without risking the children. After a bit of time had passed, a plan came to Lady Dimitrescu's mind. She knew just how protective Nyx was of her child, and if she presented a situation in which her child was under attack, Nyx would show up. Lady Dimitrescu started to feel a bit better, and the plan started to fall into place perfectly in her head.

She had to do it perfectly, make sure nobody else heard, make sure Nyx would be completely convinced that her child was in danger. And then, then they would fall into her trap. Lady Dimitrescu was so excited now, there would be nothing standing between her and getting Nyx back now.

All she had to do was be patient and wait for the perfect time to initiate her master plan...
