Rory's POV
Days blurred as Elijah's grip tightened. Engulfed in darkness, I searched for solace.
"Elijah, stop suffocating me," I begged, desperation creeping into my voice.
"Protecting you, Rory," he countered, his jaw clenched.
"From what? Yourself?" I spat, venom lacing my words.
Elijah's eyes flashed. "My family's legacy demands loyalty."
"Legacy built on lies," I retorted, defiance burning within.
Elijah's face darkened. "You'll learn obedience."
"I'll defy you," I vowed, resolve strengthening.
Tensions simmered, threatening explosion.
*Confronting Father*
I confronted Father in his study, seeking answers. "Why push me into Elijah's trap?"
"Security, Rory," Father replied, his expression guarded. "Elijah's power shields us."
"From what?" I demanded, frustration mounting.
"Dark forces," Father whispered, his voice trembling.
"What forces?" I pressed, curiosity piqued.
Father's expression turned guarded. "Elijah knows."
Rory's determination intensified.
*Unraveling Secrets*
That night, I sneaked into Elijah's study, seeking truth. A hidden compartment revealed cryptic letters.
"Elijah's family dealings reek of deceit," I read, outrage growing.
Footsteps echoed. Elijah entered, his eyes blazing.
"You spy?" Elijah accused, his voice menacing.
"I uncover truth," I retorted, standing tall.
Elijah seized my arm. "You'll never escape."
"I'll fight," I vowed, fire burning within.
The air crackled with hostility.
*Alex's Warning*
Alex intercepted me in the hallway. "Rory, beware. Elijah's obsession grows."
"I won't yield," I promised, resolve unwavering.
Alex's expression turned grave. "Elijah's family hides dark secrets."
"Tell me," I urged.
"Their legacy is built on blood and lies," Alex revealed.
Unraveling mysteries, I marched toward destiny.
*Elijah's Obsession*
Elijah's grip tightened. "You're mine, Rory."
"Never," I spat.
Elijah's eyes burned. "I'll break your defiance."
"I'll resist," I vowed.
His lips crushed mine, suffocating my soul.
*Dark Forces Stir*
Shadows moved in the manor's corridors. Whispers spread of ancient powers stirring.
"Elijah's family has awakened darkness," Alex warned.
"What darkness?" I asked.
"A power that consumes souls," Alex replied.
Fear crept in.
*Rory's Resolve*
I'll escape Elijah's prison. Uncover truth. Defy darkness.
The battle within intensified.
