Nightfall Mysteries

Rescue

Lucian/Carlo

"We were living our best lives near pine ridge, blissfully unaware of healer. They had powers like ours, but they knew how to wield them, unlike us. Instead of guiding us, they led us down a dark path. They used us to commit evil acts-things they were too scared to do themselves. We moved here.

After that My father and Lydia became allies, delving into witchcraft to share their knowledge with us. But Lydia twisted our image, turning us into villains in the eyes of Adam's family. They forced us out of Sliverbrook, calling us 'evil healers' and driving us to desperate measures to survive. Ben stayed true to his goodness, his only flaw being his love for Clara and his son. But enough about him.

Your father (pointing at Richee) killed Ben, and Lydia, with your grandpa (pointing at Adam), locked us underground. We were trapped, helpless. Over the years, then I found a way to reach out to you (pointing at Adam) and tried to make contact unfortunately Carlo was intrigued, so I possessed him during your grandpa's funeral.

I discovered a family that suited me, including my little sister, Lora." (Noticing their confusion) "Oh, you're Nina, right?"

"What did you do to her?"

"Nothing. I won't harm her. She's family."

"Where is she?"

"Hmm, probably with Nathan. I know he'll react to her. He's relentless."

"What's your plan?"

"Oh, no spoilers. Just enjoy your time here."

Nina is with Nathan, who is unaware that she's possessed by Elora.

"Nathan, how did you end up here?"

"It's Carlo. He sent me. I was looking for a way out and found you. I'm so relieved you're alive."

"Let's free you from these chains."

Nina cuts Nathan's chains, and he hugs her. "Thank you, Nina. I'm so glad you're here."

"It's nothing. How do we escape?"

"I know this place. Just follow my lead."

They move forward.

"How's the situation outside? I thought everything was fine until I was trapped here."

"And Adam? How's he doing?"

"Why do you care about him?"

"It's nothing."

"Just tell me."

"It's because of his grandfather. Mr. Hart loved him and didn't want his family involved. But i got him involved in this. His grandfather helped me a lot, so I want to repay that kindness."

Okay okay, "Speaking of family, what do you think of me?"

"Why ask?"

"Just curious."

Nathan ignores her as they approach an open gate. He hears footsteps outside.

"There are too many people out there; we need another way."

"How do you know the ways?"

"I listen."

"We'll use this way."

"No, there are too many people-and possibly shadow monsters."

"I know."

"What? You still want to go this way?"

"Yes."

"No..."

Nina strikes Nathan in the face.

"What was that for?"

"Just trust me and use this path."

Her demeanor has shifted; she's now menacing.

Nathan watches her, alarmed.

"Who are you? You're not my Nina." Stop back from her a bit.

"Finally figured it out. Nice to meet you, Nathan."

"What?"

"I'm Elora Lewis, your aunt. I'm your little brother's sister."

"What?"

"I assumed you knew. Forget it. Just follow this way."

Nathan, bewildered, tries to resist, but Lora forces him down the path. He manages to escape, finding the another gate but himself lost in the forest.

Lora pursues him. He's disoriented, searching for a river.

Lora catches up.

Lora got him.

"Nina, what's happening? Let me go."

"I'm not Nina. I'm Elora Lewis."

"Whatever. What do you want?"

Lucian arrives.

"Ah, this is the reunion I wanted. How are you, sister?"

"Carlo, you..."

"Carlo, no. He's Lucian, my brother." Lora explains, hugging Lucian. "I missed you, brother. Where are Mom, Dad, and Ben?"

"They're safe in the house. Ben is the issue; we can't release him yet."

"Why?"

"He's died multiple times. They used hoodoos to preserve his body, but the shadow can't reach him yet."

Meanwhile, Nathan is watching in confusion and fear.

"Nathan come with us"

Nathan looked so scared and confused.

"Nathan, we mean you no harm. Come with me. I want to show you your father, my little brother."

"My father is dead."

"Oh, those are your adopted parents. You're part of the Lewis family."

"I know they're my adopted parents, but they cared for me.but ben I never met him. How can I accept anyone else as my father?"

"I understand. You have many questions, but we need your help now."

"What help? No..."

Lucian drags Nathan to the underground realm and throws him in front of Ben.

"This is your dad, our little brother." See his sufferings i just want my little brother.

Nathan, seeing his father for the first time, is torn between confusion and a deep desire to connect. He'd wanted to meet him when he learned about the adoption, but was told they were both dead.

"You look just like him.
I want my family back, and you're part of that family. Help me bring my brother back."

Nathan stands there, torn and uncertain, grappling with his emotions as he faces his father.

"Do you want to revive him or let him rot?"

"I know you want to help him. I can see it on your face."

Nathan, overwhelmed and unsure of the consequences, stands there, wrestling with his choices.

Meanwhile there
