"It has finally been reported that Princess Angelina Reaper is missing, along with teenagers Corey Garrison, Sean McLoughlin and Vixen Grey, who are also missing. These four kids were believed to have gone missing December 21st last year, this brings to them being missing for about forty-eight days so far. It is also believed that the princess and teenagers were taken and are currently being held captive by the newly named Grey Army Leader".
"The board of the Prodigium Council have confirmed this: the kids have travelling through a Parnal Mirror with the Grey Son to an unknown location and that the Grey Son had tampered with the mirror so it'll shatter, guarantee that they would not be followed. The council and armies have started search parties to locate and rescue the children and princess, the new Red Army Leader now taking lead on the main search throughout the Mid Realm. Soldiers have also been sent to the Human Realm under the suspicions of the new Grey Leader's connection to the realm".
"At this current stage of time, the royal families of Heaven and Hell are refusing interviews and public outings regarding their missing princess. And now, the hopes are high as majority of the realms believe that the first Hypnotic will finally make his existence known and that he'll help the realms find and save the princess".
The kids sat in the living room, their wide and fearful eyes set on the television screen as Jocelyn stood behind the couch where both her daughter and niece sat, a gentle hand on each of their shoulders as to reassure them both that she was still with them but her daughter, Holly, was feeling the most terrified and guilty out of all of them.
If she didn't let Vixen knock her out so easily, she could have stopped them from going through the Parnal Mirror.
If she was stronger, she could have stopped all of this.
If she was actually useful for once in her life... she could have done something.
"Goddesses and spirit bless them" Holly heard her mother mumble the small prayer as they all continued to listen to the news broadcast, all unable to make themselves move or turn it off.
Blake paced back and forth in his bedroom, looking at the television as the news reporter continued to talk about the missing kids whilst holding his phone up to his ear "How the fuck did this happen- we didn't tell a fucking soul" "No one of the royal families have made the report" Euanthe's voice stated on the other end of the call "We all agreed not to weeks ago in fear of it causing a panic in both Heaven and Hell". Blake shook his head "None of the board members said a word, the army leaders agreed to keep quiet, Hext and Colin wouldn't ever done it" he listed, finally sitting down on his bed and burying his head into his hand "...we were careful" "The truth will always come out, Blake... we were just too careful this time" Euanthe told him. "Someone must've leaked this" Blake said, raising his head "If that's the case, then who?" "Army leaders are loyal to their word, Hext and Colin understood the urgency of staying silent... your family?" "Tight-lipped when it comes to family" Euanthe answered as Blake sighed "...that leaves the Prodigium Council Board then" he said "You think there's a rat on the board?". "Has to be- there's thirteen of us and I diffidently didn't speak" Blake confirmed it, closing his eyes "You're not going to look into it, are you?" "What choice do I have? someone purposely leaked information that's going to send all the realms into panic-mode, thinking that their last chance of hope is gone". Blake shook his head "I'm not going to do anything stupid, but if there's a chance that this rat is also a traitor- I need to put an end to it before they do anything worse" "I understand" Euanthe agreed "Me and Jocelyn could go talk to the Witch Ambassador? if that'll help?" she suggested "That will, thank you" "What about you?" "I'm gonna go right to the throat... I'm going to speak to Silas Haight" Blake stated.
Slenderman's Mansion, Rorrim's Forest, Dellone, Under Realm
Kate knocked on the door of Slender's study, gaining the entity's attention who stood stiff beside the bookshelf "Yes, Katherine?" he answered as she stepped into the room, closing the door behind herself "Sir, we need to talk about the girl" Kate stated as Slender turned his head back to the bookshelf "What about Miss Reaper?" he questioned "The fact that learning what her friend is and that the Grey Son is using him like a fucking puppet has broken her and kept her broken for almost two months" she stated. "The cut on her hand isn't healing at all- it hasn't even scabbed" Kate told him "No matter how many times me or Masky treat, clean and redress it, it won't heal- even if her healing powers are non-existent, it should have begun to heal by now" she continued "She hasn't left that room either-" "You're overexaggerating the situation, Katherine" Slender cut her off. Kate glared at the entity before snapping "She won't eat or drink or move- Maya is getting sick of doing weekly visits to the mansion just to help me with Angelina's wound and bathe her" she told him "All that girl is right now is a broken fucking doll whose strings have been cut" Kate stated. "You can't keep turning a blind eye on it- if any of us proxies were like this, you would've punished us which leads me to my second thing" she said, daring a step toward the entity "Ever since she got here, we've been making mistakes and you have not carried out any sort of punishment on any of us which is unlike you". "Is it wrong to act civilised in front of a guest?" Slender asked, voice low and filled with warning "No, but I know there's more to it... like how you've taken down the tv antenna and hid the radio- yeah, we've all noticed you did that the night she got here too" Kate said "But we've all heard the broadcasts, you're afraid of what would happen if they found out that she was here in the Under Realm, that she's in your so called 'care'". Slender's hand stiffened around the spine of a book on the shelf "I don't fear anything, I'm the most dangerous being in this realm" "Every thing is capable of fear, Slender" Kate said "Admit it- you haven't been able to get the coloured armies to agree to the deal you proposed, so now you think that the second the armies learn that Angelina is here, they'll assume that you're holding her hostage until they agree to the deal-" "Enough" Slender's coldness rotted through his command, immediately silencing Kate. "Take your nonsensical accusations elsewhere" he ordered, threat twisted throughout his words, an order Kate found herself following as she quickly removed herself from the study.

Blake stepped into the house through the front door, closing and locking it behind himself as Jocelyn stepped out of the dining room "You're back a little late" she said, immediately being met with the frustrated anger on the man's face "...so I'm guessing no luck in trying to find the person who leaked the information to the press" "No, not yet" Blake answered the woman "But the second I find a name, I'm beating that piece of shit until their face is unrecognisable to everyone". The man looked around, raising a brow "Where's the kids?" he asked "All at Madison's house since it was closer to the school to escape the press, and Jacob, Faith and Holly went the backway home" Jocelyn stated "So I decided to teach them basic protection magic whilst resetting the house wards, they're upstairs right now putting their own seals on their bedrooms as practice". "You've been resealing the house a lot recently" Blake said, watching the woman's worry pool onto her face "We've both spent our children's lives listening to the rumours of what the Grey Son would be like once reuniting with his father... a Hypnotic with angelic powers given to him by a powerful angel, holding the ability to end all the realms if he ever found his brother" Jocelyn recalled, her words reminding Blake everything he heard as well. "The broadcast of Vixen being named the new Grey Leader, finding out that the Light Spirit was that very angel who cursed him- it terrifies me to know that the kids will easily be killed by him if he joins hands with one boy" Jocelyn continued "The Grey Army wants nothing but power-" "Vixen is much smarter than his father, believe me" Blake told the woman mid-rant. "Before pulling any big moves, he'd already have the next few steps figured out unlike his father" he stated "So he already knows who the brother is?" "I'm saying that we need to treat this like he does" Blake told Jocelyn "Joseph told me that a couple of the GACTC files had gone missing, a hundred and one were counted, there are now ninety nine left... there's a possibility that Vixen or someone else had taken the missing files- the brother could have also been at the GACTC at the same time as Vixen" he explained the theory that him and Joseph had been investigating into.
"...I need you to teach Faith, Holly and Jacob everything you know about witchcraft, shit that will protect them no matter what whilst I find a way to get the other kids training too" Blake stated, Jocelyn silently nodded her head before the man gave her a set of keys and an envelope, and immediately her brows knotted "What's this?" "There is a safehouse in the Human Realm heavily protected by wards of a sister coven- the address is listed inside the envelope" he stated. "There is a black go-bag in my bedroom closet with money, all the kids' blood-passes and passports" he continued "Along with a map of the safehouse's area and instructions of where to go if they find the house- the second I tell you to run, I need you to get all the kids, that including Madison, and get them out of the Mid Realm" Blake told Jocelyn as more worry drew on her face "Run? Blake-" "In the bag, there is also an approved document that states that the guardianship of the kids goes straight to you the second I'm announced dead" he cut her off. Shock filled Jocelyn as she stared back at the man "...why- when did you do all this?" she questioned "Two days after you got here" Blake answered "I needed to ensure their safety no matter what... they're the last six identified Hypnotics in the Mid Realm and the first people Vixen will be after once he has the brother" Blake stated "So I need you to promise me that the second I say run, you take the kids and run" "...I promise" Jocelyn agreed.
