As the group was swept away by the relentless flow, Nexus's mind remained focused on ensuring their collective escape. His heart raced with a mixture of relief and apprehension as they surged through the castle's corridors, propelled by the cascading water.
"We need to find safety," Nexus thought urgently, his mind scanning for the next step in their escape plan. Despite the temporary advantage the rushing water afforded, their adversaries remained a constant threat, and finding a secure location was imperative to ensure their safety.
The rush of water propelled by the tremendous force, carried Nexus and the rest of the group swiftly out of the Rusells' manor, their bodies being dragged along the predetermined escape path that they had carefully planned out during their earlier planning session.
This route, was carefully chosen to converge on the intended location to confront Fitch and it was meant to provide them with a momentary advantage.
-------------------------
As the night wore on, Selina remained awake, her worry growing with each passing moment. She couldn't shake the feeling of impending danger that hung in the air. The hours felt like an eternity as she prayed for the Russell family's safety, her thoughts consumed by their well-being.
In the darkness of her own home, Selina's mind raced with thoughts of Nexus, Crystal, and the Russels. She couldn't bear the thought of them facing harm, especially not after all they had been through. She whispered prayers into the quiet night, a silent plea to the heavens for their protection.
"Please, keep them safe. They've been through so much already. I can't bear to see them hurt." she prayed to the heavens.
Doubt and fear gnawed at her as she questioned her decision to remain hidden, to not intervene directly. But she knew that any move on her part could expose her intentions, and the safety of her family was paramount.
"Please, let them be safe," she murmured, her fingers clasped tightly together. "Madeline, Nexus, Crystal, Castle, and the kids... they're like family to me. I can't bear the thought of something happening to them."
Finally, as the first light of dawn broke through the windows, Selina could no longer bear the suspense. She rose from her place and rushed impatiently to the Russells' castle. Her steps were quick, her heart pounding with a sense of urgency.
She needed to know what had transpired, to ensure that her family was safe.
Arriving at the castle, the scene before her was one of chaos and destruction. Debris littered the ground, and the castle's once-majestic walls bore the scars of a fierce battle. It was evident that a violent clash had taken place here.
The castle was in disarray, as if a storm had swept through, leaving behind a trail of destruction. It was a stark testament to the fierce confrontation that had taken place. Selina's voice trembled as she surveyed the scene.
"Oh no," she whispered, her eyes scanning the damage. "What has happened here? Madeline, Monica, please be okay."
Her steps quickened as she ventured deeper into the castle, her eyes darting around in search of any signs of the Russell family.
The castle, once a bastion of strength, was now in a state of chaos and disarray. Broken pieces of furniture and scattered belongings littered the premises, a clear testament to the battle that had taken place.
Selina's concern deepened as she surveyed the damage, knowing that the Russell family had borne the brunt of it.
Selina's eyes scanned the scene, taking in the extent of the damage. The courtyard was marred by signs of the struggle, and the silence that hung in the air was oppressive. It was a stark contrast to the once-vibrant and lively castle that Selina had visited on previous occasions.
It was apparent that the Russel family had fought valiantly to protect their home and loved ones. Selina felt a pang of guilt for not being able to assist them during their hour of need.
She knew that the Russels were strong and capable, but the emotions of regret and concern for their well-being weighed heavily on her.
Nexus and Crystal had fought valiantly to protect their home and their children, but Fitch's onslaught had been relentless.
Selina's heart ached as she tried to comprehend the gravity of the situation. She knew that the battle had not been without cost, and she feared for the safety of her friends.
As Selina navigated the wreckage, her thoughts were consumed by the well-being of the Russell family.
She couldn't help but wonder if her decision to remain hidden had been the right one. Every moment of uncertainty weighed heavily on her, and her prayers for their safety were relentless.
She couldn't bear the thought of them being harmed or worse. Selina's heart ached as she thought of the gilrs and the terror they must have felt.
As she moved through the castle's corridors, her ears strained for any sounds of life. She hoped to hear laughter, the rustle of clothing, anything that would signify their safety. But there was only silence, punctuated by the eerie echoes of the previous night's turmoil.
"Please, let them be safe," Selina prayed once more, her voice barely above a whisper. "I can't imagine a world without them. We've come so far, and I won't let Fitch's cruelty tear it all apart."
Her apprehension grew as she surveyed the castle's interior, finding signs of a fierce confrontation—bloodstains, broken items, and the remnants of a desperate fight.
The evidence left no doubt that the Russel family had faced a formidable adversary.n/-0velBIn
Selina's breath caught in her throat as she took in the sight. Her fear for her family deepened, and her thoughts raced with worry. She knew she had to find answers, to understand the extent of the danger they had faced.
Meanwhile, Fitch had arrived at the castle, and his satisfaction was evident. He had received information about Selina's not coming to the aid of the russels, and her absence from the battle confirmed his suspicions.
He believed that if Selina had remained loyal to the Russels, she would have rushed to protect them, rather than allowing the Madeline family to be in danger.
Fitch's eyes sparkled with a sense of victory as he approached Selina. He had been waiting for an opportunity to prove that she had severed ties with the Russels, and the state of the castle was a testament to her disassociation from them, confirming his suspicions.
lightsnοvεl As Fitch approached her, Selina feigned bitterness and hatred for the Russels.
Selina knew she needed to play her part convincingly. She adopted a faked puzzled expression, as though she were trying to understand what had transpired. Her tone was carefully composed to mislead Fitch.
She made no effort to hide her disdain as she spoke, her voice dripping with resentment. "Look at what's become of this place. The Russel family was always trouble. I'm not surprised it's come to this. I just hope they've learned their lesson."
Fitch, satisfied by Selina's display of hostility toward the Russels, believed that she had indeed distanced herself from them.
He responded with a self-assured tone, "You're absolutely right, Selina. It was wise to sever those ties."
