"Okay, so you're telling us that they kidnapped you because his other son who's his son's brother, for obvious reasons, is dead and he's using magic to bring him back?!" Zoe said, loudly, without pausing so she took a long breath in after that sentence.
"Not to mention that he's going to kill you as the downside!" Ish said.
"....yeah." Leo said, processing.
"Okay, this is crazy, you need to get out of here." Zoe said.
"I can't, they said that if I am not dead, the downside is going to be much worse!" Leo said.
"So you want to die?" Zoe asked him, creating a moment of awkward silence.
"Wait what? No! But we can't take any risks, I have absolutely no idea what the worst downside will be." He said.
"Okay, we need to get you out of here, without being seen." Ish said as they all got up.
Zoe opened the door very slowly peeped through the opening to make sure the two men weren't watching them.
They were standing downstairs but they weren't looking in the direction of door number 3, so it was safe for the trio to go outside.
"The coast is clear, come on." Zoe said, motioning her friends to come out.
The three rushed outside, constantly checking if the me we're looking at them or not.
There was a crowd downstairs, so the three of them used it to hide themselves as they ran for the revolving front doors.
Leo went out first and Zoe and Ish followed behind. They finally got out.
"Woah, that was exhausting, having to dodge the people and get ourselves away from there." Leo said.
"Yeah, yeah it was." Ish said, breathing heaving.
"Leo, we're....we're so happy you're okay!" Zoe said once again, she was so relieved not having to eat gross cloves again, and also because she was actually happy.
The two girls hugged Leo again and he hugged back.
"It's such a relief to be out after all this time, thank you." Leo said.
"Come on we have to get home." Ish said.
Even though they saved Leo, they still had that feeling in them, this mystery wasn't over just yet.
They reached their homes. Zoe and Leo said goodbye to Ish and Leo couldn't stop thanking them on the way home.
Leo himself was scared, they will definitely come for him again.

A/N - Yes, I kept chapter 8 short because of what happens next, I felt it was kind of inappropriate to put that in the same chapter. Fun fact: after I'm done with this book I'll start writing my own story! Not a fan fic, but they will be mystery based too! I love mystery stories way too much, they're my weakness! If y'all wanna read, they won't be here on Lily's (why must you do this to me mate?) account, they'll be on my own account LaraHanningsBooks . I wanted to let you guys know that I'm taking a break from writing fan fics to focus on my own work for a bit. I'm currently writing a story called "The Hostages" on my account and I will post it as soon as I've written it, it's a short story not a long book. So in the mean time you guys can read that. Stay safe and love y'all!
