 Mia's eyes adjusted slowly to the bright sunlight. She was lying in a hospital bed, surrounded by the beeping of machines and the gentle hum of fluorescent lights. Victor sat beside her, his eyes red-rimmed from lack of sleep. "The Kidnapper Beauty is gone," he said, his voice low and gravelly. "The police found her lair, but she vanished into thin air." Mia tried to sit up, but a wave of pain washed over her. She winced, falling back onto the pillow. "What about the pact?" she whispered. Victor's expression turned grim. "We think it's broken. The kidnappings have stopped, and the town is starting to rebuild." Mia's mind reeled as she processed the news. It was over. The nightmare was finally over. But as she looked into Victor's eyes, she saw a glimmer of something else. A new beginning. "What's next?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Victor smiled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "We write a new legend, Mia. One of hope and resilience. Together."
