Malia groaned as she looked up at the sky as Danae was flown away. She punched the ground with her uninjured hand while Akamu and Makoa ran out of the house. They also looked up at the sky, still suffering from shock. "D-DAMN IT! I-I COULDN'T STOP THAT THING! I- AH!" The men eventually got out of their shock and went to Malia, who had difficulty standing up.

Akamu went to his sister and looked at her arm. "Damn, you dislocated it. We can fix it, but you know what we must do, sis."

Terror filled her; Malia didn't want to go through the process, but they didn't have time to go to the hospital and spend money to put back her arm and shoulder in place. "A-Alright, d-do it."

"Not here. We need to go back to the house." Akamu gently carried his sister inside the house; Makoa followed suit. Once inside, the door was closed, and Malia was put down on the living room sofa, where Akamu and Makoa examined her arm. 

"Akamu, I have a little more experience. Please hold her." Makoa went to the kitchen, got a clean rag, rolled it, and gave it to Malia. "Bite it hard." Malia did so as she was instructed to then lay on the floor. Akamu assisted his sister, and once on the floor, he held her in place so she couldn't move. Then, Makoa took hold of her arm, put it in a particular position, and pulled it as hard as he could. A crack echoed in the living room, and Malia yelled onto the rag. The painful sensation was still felt, but it wasn't as severe. "How do you feel now?"

"I still feel a bit of pain, but it's not as bad as before. Thanks," Malia said as she slowly sat up. Akamu assisted his sister to the sofa again. He then went to a nearby cabinet, where he found an arm supporter and put it on Malia. 

Makoa paced back and forth as he finally processed that the siren had taken Danae away; he was scared for her. The young man didn't know what to think or do. "W-What are we going to do!? That thing took Danae, and we don't know where he took her!" He scratched his head violently as he felt stressed and couldn't help but feel guilt that Danae was taken.

"Okay, we need to calm down first! We're not going to solve anything if we stress out! All we know is that our plans have changed but it would give us a bit of an advantage since we will be on the move."

"Yeah, but where will we stay while searching for Danae!? That thing might take Danae away from the island for all we know! Or worse!"

The trio argued among themselves, not realizing that someone entered through one of the apartment windows. "Your friend will be fine; the siren seems to take a liking to her." Everyone stilled as they slowly looked at where the voice came from. They focused on the figure who motioned out a gun toward them. "Greetings, I'm Jovan of the Hidden Shadows Coven. It would be wise that none of you move or try to escape, or you would give me no other choice but to kill you all. However, a quick death would be better than what Tabatha has planned for all of you."

The gun frightened the trio, and they knew it was best not to fight. Jovan eyed Makoa and motioned him to sit down; the young man did so. "If we had to guess, you are from that group of killers. Since you found us, I assume Kahlua had a thing in this?" asked Malia.

"Indeed. We are a coven, but if that is how you see us, then so be it. I have other coven members that are around the area, so you won't be able to escape. I convinced Tabatha not to send the others; they are far worse. I saw the siren take your friend away."

"Y-Yeah. You also mentioned that he wouldn't hurt her and that he had a liking to her. How do you know that the siren won't hurt our friend? He killed that innocent person during the show! How can we trust what you say!?" asked Malia.

Jovan slowly put his arm down but still displayed the gun. "The siren is dangerous, and he eats human flesh. However, Tabatha forces him to kill for the show. The siren only kills and eats to survive; it's not as monstrous as you think he is. Also, sirens don't hurt the ones they choose as their mates."

The trio flinched. "M-Mates? Wh-What are you trying to say?" asked Makoa.

"As you heard. The siren chose your friend as his mate. He probably felt something for her when she freed him. She is the only one who showed him true kindness and he had mistaken that act as her interest in him." 

Then, everyone became silent, and the trio tried to process everything they were told. So many thoughts trailed through their heads. The coven found them and didn't know what else they could do. "S-So what will happen now? Are you going to kill us?"

"Tabatha, the coven's leader, wanted to kill you all since you know too much. However, Bethany and I convinced her not to do so."

"Bethany?"

"She is another coven member who thinks rationally as I do. I will tell you all the secrets you should never speak, but some members, myself included, want to get out of this coven."

"Wh-Why?" asked Akamu.

Jovan was expressionless; he hardly blinked, making him look empty. "At first, the coven was small and practiced the way of Wicca; Tabatha came from a long line of Wiccans. She took in many people who were shunned. I was one of them, and we became friends and lovers." He shook his head. However, one day, we all traveled to Greece, and that was when we found the siren. Tabatha became entranced, but eventually, she became obsessed. She was so obsessed that she researched more about them and how to keep them. That was when she turned to the dark web. She was able to get in contact with people who were interested in what she was doing and convinced them to join the coven. Most of them were sadistic psychopaths, and we became who we are now."

"So, I guess you can't just leave, right?"

Jovan shook his head. "It is forbidden, or there will be drastic consequences. However, I can't stand what this coven has become, and I had enough. As mentioned, I was lucky enough to persuade Tabatha that I was the one to find you all. With that, I want to make a deal with all of you."

"A-A deal?" asked Makoa as he felt uneasy.

"I will do my very best to protect you from Tabatha's wrath and instruct you on how to survive the coven. All I ask in return is for your help to destroy the coven."

"H-How d-do we know that we can trust you? For all we know, you could be lying to us," challenged Akamu.

"I understand your sentiments; I would feel the same if I were in your position. However, you will have to learn to trust me. We can work together to destroy this coven once and for all; they have done so much monstrous things that traumatized me." Jovan closed his eyes momentarily and sighed. "I also have regrets for not leaving sooner but I at least can make things right again. Will you agree to the deal?"

The friends looked at one another; they still didn't entirely trust Jovan, but they knew they couldn't escape otherwise. "Alright, deal."

"Good, now this is my plan, and we can't afford screw-ups or we will be in a terrifying finale."
