Last Chapter:  "No, no, no! Please-...." I laughed maniacally to myself. "Let's go. We have to plan your wedding, Damien." Ann said and I nodded, following right behind her.

Narrator pov.

We're almost at the end. We're so close to seeing all of these events wrap up. How does that make you feel? Does it feel you with joy, sorrow? I'm just curious, like I've said before, you're still reading. You must be somewhat curious on how the story ends. There's only a few people still alive, but I'm sad to say that one is about to die very soon. It may or may not be in this chapter. You might already know who it is and you may not. Though, the killer might be someone you'd never expect.

Whether you know or not, isn't what's important right now. The important thing that's happening right now is Violet's decision. Her decision to marry Damien, so Chloe won't get hurt. Violet didn't want to, but she had no choice. She didn't want someone to die because she didn't wanna do something. She'd feel selfish. Chloe was the only person she had left, even if she couldn't see her anymore at least she'd be safe. That's all Violet wanted.

Although Damien had other intentions. Possibly not fulfilling his part of the deal. I can't really tell you Damien's full plan, but let's just say it wasn't going end good for anyone. . . .

Chloe pov.

I abruptly woke up from I nightmare I had, only to see it was actually happening. I was in a cage-like thing. I can't really explain. Looking around I noticed I wasn't tied or chained up, there was also a curtain covering the bars. I wanted to call for help, scream. I knew deep down no one could hear me. Though, I felt as if I wasn't alone. I got up, my head feeling slightly dizzy. I honestly couldn't remember what happened. The only thing I remembered was that Violet was in trouble and I was going to save her, then suddenly everything went black. I couldn't remember anything after that.

I walked over to the curtain, trying my best to open it through the bars. I managed to get it halfway open, luckily it was just enough to see most of the room. That's when I noticed someone tied up in a chair. I tried my best to identify the person, suddenly I realized. That's not just any person! It's Violet! She looked unconscious. I had to find a way to wake her up. "Violet! Wake up, please! It's me, Chloe!" I said loud enough to where she could hear me. I saw her move a little, not enough for her to wake up though.

I looked around. There has to be someway for me to get out of here. I started to search around in my cell. I almost gave up, when I saw a bobby pin on the ground. Yes! I'm so close! I picked it up and tried to lock pick the lock. Suddenly, it opened. I've never felt so happy to be free in my life. I quickly went over to Violet and began to shake her. "Violet! Please, wake up! Please!" Her eyes began to slowly open,  "Mmm... C-Chloe?...Where am I?..."

"I don't exactly know. I just know that Damien is behind all of it." That's when her eyes widened, it's like she remembered something. "Chloe. Do you see that camera behind you?" I nodded, "Please get it." I did as I was told and grabbed the camera, quickly untied Violet. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" She shook her head and grabbed the camera from my hands. Violet kept flipping through images, till she got to a certain video of her and Ann. "This. This is all the evidence we need to show the authorities. To show everyone how bad the Thorns really are." 

That's when I realized, "Wait. Ann's married right? What about her husband?" Violet, once again shook her head, "No. He might be good but we can't exactly trust him. I don't know him that well."  "Oh." I said, slightly disappointed. "Look, Chloe I'm going to explain what's going on, ok? I want you to pay attention, ok?" Violet said, "Violet. You know I'd always listen to you."  "Good. Now here's what's happening and here's what I want you to do. . . "

Narrator pov.

The eldest Neff sister's plan was simple. She knew the sacrifices she had to make in order to save the only person she had left. 

"Go.." She told her, Chloe refused as she wanted to stay with her. To make sure Damien wouldn't hurt her. "Go. You can expose them. You have all the evidence right there. Please.. for me. I'll be okay. Just trust me." Chloe nodded and kissed her goodbye, with that she left.

Chloe quickly and quietly made her way out of the cellar, making sure to stay hidden at all costs. She stealthily snuck out of the Thorn mansion safe and soundly. Chloe ran. She ran as far and fast as she could away from that dreadful place. When she seemed far enough Chloe stopped and sat down to catch her breath. When all of a sudden. . . 

Chloe pov.

"Hiya, kid."I looked up to see a man with yellow and black hair staring at me. "Uh.. h-hello...Who are you?..." The man laughed, "My names not important right now. I see you're in a bit of a predicament. I'd like help you or...should I say make a deal?" A bright blue flame emerged from his hand. "What.. the?.. I don't even know who you are?! How can I trust you?" The man shook his head and the flame disappeared, "Fine. It seems like you don't want my help, you wanna do this the hard way." 

The man's entire appearance changed completely. His new look was completely red, even his eyes. "Oh..no.." I said backing up slowly. "You wanted to be a hero. Ha! You're just a coward!" The man said, snapping his fingers causing me to levitate. "P-please! Put me down! You don't understand what's happening!" He laughed again, "Oh Chloe, Chloe. I know more than you think. I also think you're time is up. Say goodbye." Tears formed in my eyes, knowing what was about to happen to me. 

All this time I thought Damien was going to kill me. Instead I'm being killed by this.. man?.. I don't even know who or what he is. I don't even know why he's doing this. I somehow knew Damien was involved. "Any lasts words?" The man said, I nodded, "Tell Violet I love her..."  "Haha. I'll be taking this by the way.." The man said, taking the camera from me. Everything went blank after that. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 

Narrator pov.

So you found out, huh? Chloe's dead, but Damien didn't do it. This unknown "person" did. You may have so many questions about him. Though, I'm afraid I cannot tell you. It seems we have ran out of time. I'll see you in the next chapter. . . .
