The Vanishing

Avery could still feel the weight of the council's words crushing down on her as she exited the secret metropolis. They had warned her that shadows might follow her, and she couldn't shake the fear. However, when she emerged into the crisp night air, a new sense of dread began to crawl over her—something far worse than what she'd just experienced.

Lucas and Damien have gone through her facet, silent and nervous, each on edge following the trial. They hadn't even passed the city boundaries when they heard an unexpected, unnerving silence, as if the entire world had stopped.

Avery froze in her tracks, her instincts screaming. "Did you experience that?"

Damien's gaze searched their surroundings, his jaw taut. "something's incorrect."

Lucas nodded, appearing nervous. "It's like… something's lacking."
