Ariel's POV

"Damn what's taking them so long?" Stella groaned impatiently. We all waited outside the castle for almost 30 minutes.

"I mean, it is a huge place, maybe they're still finding her." Timmy suggested. We all agreed that was probably the reason. We all sat by the wall, making sure we're not being seen, until we heard movement and noise coming from the other side of the wall.

"Are they here? What's going on?" I stood to check, but Stella grabbed my arm, telling me to lay low. I sat back down and waited impatiently for the others to come back.

What's taking them so long?

Jess' POV

We ran towards the other end of the castle we the prison cells were at. Along the way, there was twists and turns, but my shapeshifter instincts knew where to go.

"Jess, where are we going? We need to go now." Fiona said right behind me as I lead the way.

"I need to rescue someone, they need to go home today. They need to." I said.

"Who? Who do you want to rescue?" Sam asked as we all stopped right in front of the cell.

"Ok, this may be all new to you guys, but in this cell, which is the same cell I was in, is Ariel's dad." They all looked at me in shock, more like as if I was going crazy.

"Are you sure it's him?" Manny asked.

I nodded. I turned to the door and broke the lock with all my force and opened the door.

"Dominick? Are you still here?" I called out to him. We then heard some movement in the darkness.

"Yeah I'm here." He answered. I walked up to him and broke the weak chains apart.

"Let's get out of here, it's time for you to reunite with your family again..."

3rd person POV

"Master, Jess Swift escaped the chamber!" One of the guards addressed to Satan as he sat in his chair.

"Search the premises, and when you catch her bring her to me immediately. I'll kill her right here on the spot." He ordered his men so go find the shapeshifter.

The men stormed out of the castle to search for her. From outside of the castle, Ariel, Stella, and Timmy heard the men moving around from one side of the wall.

"Are they here? What's going on?" Ariel stood to check, but Stella grabbed her arm.

"Are you crazy? Lay low, it might not be them." Stella said.

"We should hide or something in case it's someone from the castle."

They hid behind some bushes near by and stayed quiet, trying to remain calm and control their stamina.

Then, the yelling stopped, it was dead quiet.

The trio sat there doing nothing but staying still and waited to whoever was outside to go away.

Then, a deep raspy voice echoed throughout the night and sent shivers down their spine.

"I see you."

It was Satan himself. He spotted the trio hiding behind the bush.

"Guys, run." Timmy told them. He stood up, but Stella quickly grabbed his arm.

"Timothy what the fuck are you doing? You're going to get yourself killed." She tried to stop him, but he turned and lightly smiled.

"Some sacrifices need to be made..."
