It wasn't surprising Karen's coven occupied the villa. On any other day, the girls wouldn't have been there, but Alex convinced them to follow. Even so, the decision created anxiety, as Lyndsey and Tatum considered the consequences.
"What's happened to him?" Lyndsey questioned.
Tatum scowled.
"Better yet, what's happened to you?"
Lyndsey retreated to the sofa.
"I don't know. I haven't felt normal in months."
Tatum moved into the kitchen.
"Sabrina knew this would happen."
Lyndsey paused.
"Karen was right--she's a witch."
She ran her fingers through her hair.
"Now you know."
Tatum didn't respond, considering everything. Instead, she messaged Alex while preparing for a return trip to America. Meanwhile, Alex occupied a murky hillside overlooking the resort. And though he should leave, curiosity held him captive.
"Where are you?" Tatum demanded over the phone.
"Outside the villa," he responded.
"What are you still doing there?"
"Waiting," he confirmed. "Don't worry though--everything's fine."
She groaned.
"That doesn't sound convincing."
A long pause followed--a definitive sign something mysterious was unfolding. Yet, Alex maintained a steady gaze, forcing himself to stay calm.
"Is that it?" she wondered.
"No," he said. "The coven's here together."
Tatum pleaded with him to leave, but Alex refused. Blinded by an obsession that's causing more harm than good. Captivated by desire despite a lack of understanding. It neared 8 AM, and though he wanted to stay, it wasn't easy. Then, Karen appeared darker and sadistic. Even still, she smiled at him before leaving, knowing he'd follow.
