The hostage...

************

"She is the one supreme one, Emily said and bowed down,"catlayer the werewolf whose heart is filled with Envy, jealousy, darkness and bitterness,Vlad stood up and started walking towards Catlayer,Catlayer turned to run, but before she could get very far, she felt a powerful force pulling her back. She looked up, and saw Vlad standing there, a cruel smile on his face. "You cannot escape me," he said, his voice low and menacing. "You are mine, and you will do as I say. Do you understand?" Catlayer tried to fight against the force that was holding her in place, but it was no use. She was trapped, and she knew she had no choice but to obey,"what do you want from me"?, Catlayer asked trembling.

*************

"I need you to lead me to the vampire's villa," Vlad said, his eyes burning with an intensity that made Catlayer shiver. "Only you can help me get what I want." Catlayer swallowed, her throat dry. She knew that if she refused, she would suffer a terrible fate. But could she really lead him to the vampire's lair, knowing what he would do once he got there? She closed her eyes, trying to block out the images that were flooding her mind.

************

"I will take you there," Catlayer said, her voice barely a whisper. "But please, I beg of you, do not do what you are planning." "Silence!" Vlad snarled, his face contorted with anger. "You will do as I say, or you will suffer the consequences." Catlayer bit her lip, knowing that she was powerless to stop him. She would have to lead him to the vampire's lair, and hope that she could find a way to escape once they arrived.

*************

Suddenly, Catlayer remembered the curse that had been placed on Vanessa for betraying the clan. She remembered when Rang the great seer had told the clan members not to ever betray the clan no matter the situation, according to him,any form of betrayal could result to a deadly consequences .such person would be turned into a shadow creature, forever trapped between the world of the living and the world of the dead. She knew that if she led Vlad to the lair, she would be trapped in this terrible state for all eternity. Her heart was pounding, and she could barely breathe. What could she do?

*************

Catlayer knew that she had to act quickly, or it would be too late. She began to think of a plan, a way to outwit Vlad and save herself from the curse. But she knew that time was running out. She had to act now, or she would be doomed to a fate worse than death. "I will lead you there," she said, trying to keep her voice steady. "But first, I must tell you something." "What is it?" Vlad asked, his eyes narrowing suspiciously.

*************

"There is a prophecy, a prophecy about you and the vampire's villa," Catlayer said, her heart racing. "The prophecy says that if you enter the villa, you will unleash a terrible evil upon the world." Vlad snorted. "That's just a silly superstition, nothing more," he said. But Catlayer knew that the prophecy was real, and that she had to convince Vlad of its truth. "It's not a superstition, it's a prophecy.

**************

"I know this prophecy to be true," Catlayer said, mustering all her courage. "For I am the one who was given the prophecy, by the greatest oracle in the land." Vlad's eyes widened, and Catlayer could see the fear in his face. "You are lying," he said, but his voice was uncertain. "You cannot possibly know such things." "I am not lying," Catlayer said, her voice firm.

****************

In that moment, Catlayer knew what she had to do. She could not, in good conscience, lead Vlad to the villa. It would be against everything she believed in, and she knew that it would be wrong. "I will not lead you to the villa," she said, her voice shaking but determined. "For I cannot betray my beliefs, and I cannot risk the fate of the world." "You dare defy me?" Vlad roared, his face turning red with rage.

************

Without warning, Vlad grabbed Catlayer by the arm and pulled her close. "I will not allow you to defy me," he hissed, his voice low and dangerous. "You will lead me to the lair, or I will make you suffer." Catlayer struggled against his grip, but he was too strong. "I will not do it," she said, her voice breaking. "I cannot. Please, let me go." But Vlad only tightened his grip, and she knew that she was in real danger.

***********

"You are making a mistake, Vlad," Catlayer said, her voice trembling but strong. "The moon chasers will come for me, and they will stop you. You cannot win against them." "The moon chasers are nothing but a band of fools," Vlad sneered. "And Athena is nothing but a weakling, too afraid to stand up for herself. They will not come for you." "You are wrong," Catlayer said, a hint of defiance in her voice. "The moon chasers are powerful, and Athena is stronger than you know.

*************

"You have left me no choice," Vlad growled, his eyes flashing with anger. "You will suffer for your defiance." With that, he snapped his fingers, and a cage of silver wraiths appeared around Catlayer. She tried to move, but the cage burned her skin, causing her to cry out in pain. "Let me go!" she screamed, but Vlad only smiled coldly. "You will remain here until you change your mind," he said, his voice cold and cruel.

*********"

Catlayer sank to the ground, her strength leaving her. She had never felt so alone, so trapped. But even as she closed her eyes, she could hear a voice whispering in her ear. "Do not despair," the voice said, soft and soothing. "We are here, we will find you. Hold on, we are coming." Catlayer opened her eyes, and she saw the moon chasers, standing just beyond the cage. "We will not leave you..
