The Apartment
Derek and Odette have woken up from being unconscious for what felt like forever, only to notice the Russos looking down at them. "Are you guys okay?" Asked Max. "We're fine, thanks." Said Odette. "But where's Paul?" Asked Derek. "He stayed behind to do something, but he didn't tell us what." Said Alex. "I just hope whatever it is he's doing won't get him killed." Said Justin.
At that moment, the door to the apartment opened. Everyone turns around and sees Paul with his back against it, and he slides to the floor. There's also a smudge of dirt on his other cheek that doesn't have the scratch.
"Paul, what happened out there?" Justin asked. "I tried getting through to Amanda, but Athalia is too strong." Said Paul. "Yeesh, she's more powerful than we thought." Alex said. "And what up with those marks around your neck?" Max asked. "Um... uh..." Paul said hesitantly. "Athalia choked you, didn't she?" Odette asked. "Yes." Said Paul. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think maybe we should just let the Russos solve this mystery. The more we approach Athalia, the worse she'll hurt us." Derek said.
Before Paul could say another word, Alex puts her hand on his mouth. "No, Paul, Derek's right. Athalia only seems to attack the two of you and Odette, so your best bet is to stay safe while we handle this." She said. "This is not how I pictured my perfect weekend!" Said Paul in an annoyed tone. "I don't think any of us see this as a perfect weekend." Said Justin.
Dark Forest
When night came, Athalia and Csintalan are going over what to do next. "Those six heroes we saw earlier today are starting to become a major pain." Said Athalia. "Don't you worry, my love, we'll get rid of them soon. Actually, I have a very special job for you." Said Csintalan with a smirk. "Name it, my sweet prince of darkness, and it shall be done." Athalia said. "I want you to go the apartment you were in moments before you got here and do a bit of torture on the ones who call themselves Derek and Odette while they're asleep." Csintalan said.
Though Amanda gasps on the inside, Athalia smiles evilly on the outside. "And for that weakling McCartney?" She asked. "Wait until I show up... and I'll tell you what should be done with him." Said Csintalan. "As you wish, my dark lord." Said Athalia with a bow. She puts on her hood and disappears into the night.
Csintalan may not know where the apartment is, but he uses his shadows to help him locate it and his gothic princess.
The Apartment
Athalia turns herself into a shadow and creeps under the door of Paul and Amanda's room, then changes back once she's finally inside. But once she reaches the bedroom door, she does the same thing instead of just opening it. Using her night vision, she looks around for her prey. When her eyes fall on Paul, she gives a wicked smile, but remembers that she can't do anything to him until Csintalan arrives.
Derek and Odette were asleep on the spare bed, so Athalia slowly walks over towards them. She first puts duct tape on Derek's mouth so he can't gasp or react to what's happening, then uses her dark powers to pull him out of bed. He floats behind her as she walks off, and she enters the bathroom afterwards.
The wicked woman then creates handcuffs with her magic and puts them on Derek's wrists, making him dangle from the shower rack. The king didn't wake up the entire time the dark princess did her business on him.
Once part one was finished, Athalia returns to the bedroom and gently picks up Odette, who remains asleep. Athalia opens her mouth, where she has a set of fangs.
After a brief pause, Athalia sinks her fangs into Odette's neck. She doesn't drink her blood, being as she's not an actual vampire, but she does draw blood since she sank them so deep. About a minute later, Athalia drops Odette back onto the bed, and she didn't even wake up.
Quietly, the gothic princess approaches Paul's sleeping figure and leans close to his ear. "I haven't forgotten you, McCartney." Athalia said through a whisper. She turns herself into a shadowy figure and hides so no one will see her once the sun comes up.
