Harry gazed at the lifeless form before him and realized what had just occurred.

Shrignold killed Oc.

Manny was struggling against the chains securing him to his chair, but it was no use. They had been tricked. Shrignold's plan worked. They had been captured.

"Well, dearie. What a surprise seeing a puppet as your friend. 'Not' a surprise at all," Shrignold cackled.

"I'll kill you for this, Shrignold. You will not get away with this!" Harry threatened.

"Take these pitiful disgraces away from we at once, sweethearts! They are giving me wrinkles Outstanding!" Shrignold complained.

With that, Harry and Manny were taken deeper into the dungeon, whilst Oc was left to rot in the place she had been murdered. Shrignold and his men left and closed the chamber door, cascading Oc in darkness.

Manny and Harry were thrown into a cell that contained one toilet, a bed with checkered, ruffled sheets, and a window with bars that displayed an enchanting moon cast in shadow.

"This is all your fault!" Harry accused Manny. "If you hadn't gone with Shrignold, we wouldn't be stuck in this situation, I could have been getting a hair cut, and Oc would still be alive!"

"I-I'm sorry, Harry. I really am. I never knew Shrignold could do something like this," Manny looked into his infuriated eyes, "I thought I was doing the world a favor by getting as far away from it as possible." The fire in Harry's eyes slowly vanished until they contained a spark of guilt in them.

"I-it's alright, Manny. I was wrong. It is no your fault, it is mine. I shouldn't have let Oc come with me here in the first place, but all I know is that if Oc were to still be alive, she would be forcing us off of our lazy asses and into creating a strategy on how to escape this cursed land. I plan on doing just that."

All around her were glowing lights, twinkling and radiating into brighter and bigger bursts of light. When her eyes opened, the light she saw was gone, and she was abandoned in peer darkness. Just because Olivia was just murdered, that does not mean that Claire would be left to die, too. Claire would get her revenge, and no one would see it coming. Especially Olivia's sweet little Harry.
