As Luis’ men escorted Elena and Dylan forward, a chill swept over me, freezing my thoughts in their tracks.

Here they were, my precious children, used as pawns in Luis’ sinister game.
Regret flooded my senses, drowning me in guilt.
I had been blinded by the joyous facade before me, foolishly believing that Luis’ cronies had been rooted out, that a mere church patrol would suffice to detect any lurking threats. Yet, Caleb and I had underestimated the deep-rooted influence of the Barton family within our pack. Their roots ran deep, and the complexity of the situation became painfully apparent.

In the world of espionage, the most unassuming individuals often posed the greatest risk, a lesson painfully learned in our complacency. I had been too lax in safeguarding the residents of Roz Town, allowing Scott to exploit our vulnerabilities.
The burden of responsibility weighed heavily upon me, a crushing realization of my failures. Yes, the blame was all mine to bear.
But self-reproach offered no solace. With a vice-like grip on my children’s throats, Luis leered at me with a predatory gleam. “Debra, I implore you to use your witch power now. My patience wears thin.
Should you continue to dither, I will not hesitate to kill these pups.”
His words hung in the air, heavy with menace.
With each passing moment, Luis’ hold tightened, constricting the life from my beloved children. Their frail bodies trembled, straining against his cruel grasp.
My mind whirled, thoughts scattering like leaves in a tempest.

My stomach churned, blood boiled, and my shoulders trembled with fury.
That monster threatened my child’s life. I burned with the need to rend him limb from Limb.
The witch power coursed through me, dizzying me as it threatened to erupt. Just as I felt overwhelmed, a hand, warm and reassuring, clasped mine.
Caleb’s grip was firm as he shook his head, his expression grave.
“Debra, you must calm yourself. Falling into Luis’ trap is exactly what he wants. He aims to exploit the children to expose your identity.”
“Mommy… Mommy!” The children’s weakened voices reached us. Though feeble, they mustered the strength to call out to me. “Don’t worry about us…”

Their words hung in the air, cut short by Luis’ cruel grip on their necks. The children gasped for air, faces flushed crimson. Another moment and they’d suffocate.
“Care not for them? Ha-ha.” Luis’ laugh dripped with malice. “If you don’t intervene, they’ll be corpses soon enough. Your choice!
He turned his gaze to me. “Debra, if you won’t unleash your power to save these brats, I’ll end them here and now. I always keep my promises!”
A surge of anxiety gripped Caleb; frustration etched his face.
He barked at the guards, “What are you waiting for? Save the children!”
But Luis was cunningly positioned, leaning against the church gate, ready to defend and escape.
The children’s safety weighed heavily on our minds. Even if we attempted to confront Luis, he held the power to harm them before we could even lay a finger on him. It was this dire reality that had paralyzed us, leaving them dangling in his clutches.
