“Alec?” I called out

“Keela!” his voice screamed

I felt nised it was Alec's voice I'd heard earlier His voice was the voice filled with pain and fear that was calling out to me for help minutes before

“Where are you?” I screamed

“In there, you have to help him,” the female voice whispered in my ear as I turned to the door that lead into darkness Without a single thought I began to run towards the dark rooot any closer to me

I screaure appeared in front of ure shot forward and got in my face

I could only see glowing silver eyes, no face or features

“Alec will die unless you stop her,” the figure before me whispered

“Stop who?” I screamed

The figure faded away to nothing and I once again had a view of the darkened room, only it wasn't dark anymore It was lit up, and Alec was in theout for me, but his head was bowed I blinked and when I focusedbehind Alec

“Stop her, Keela!” the feht to save him!”

I gasped when the figure lifted its arm and pointed the object in its hand at Alec's bowed head I squinted un caught my eye I jumped to my feet I screamed for Alec to watch out as I ran towards hiot closer, but even at h

“Alec!” I screa in my ears

The gun went off and Alec's body fell limp to the floor at the same time the door of the room slammed shut I reached the door a second later and crashed into it I felt no physical pain as I bounced off the door and fell back onto the floor I could feel nothing over the gripping pain indown my face

I got back to my feet and tried to open the door, but the doorknob wouldn't turn I slapped on the door with both of my hands and kicked it with ht

“Keela?” another familiar voice spoke to me from behind

I turned around and gasped

Nico, Ryder, Damien, and Kane were stood before me

“You have to help—”

“Why didn't you save our brother, Keela?” Damien cut me off

I blinked “I tried—”

“You let Alec die You let our brother die,” Nico cut lared at me

I began to pant as I took a small step backwards, however I bumped into the door I'd ruthlessly tried to open only seconds before
