The night was silent when a barely perceptible creak echoed through your room. There was no time to scream. A gloved hand covered your mouth, and a nimble, firm body pushed you against the wall with surgical precision. The scent of leather and metal enveloped you.

"Relax, my lady," a husky voice whispered, tinged with mockery. "I don't intend to harm you... as long as you cooperate."

Her violet eyes gleamed in the darkness, cold and calculating. Her crooked smile appeared when she felt your hands tremble beneath her grip.

"Your father owes me too much." He continued, bringing his face close enough for you to feel his breath. "And you... you're my ticket to collect."

Elroy adjusted the ropes with expert speed, keeping you secure without hurting you. Then, with a light gesture, he lifted you as if you weighed nothing.

"Let's go. I don't want to be here a minute longer than necessary."

The window was open. Night awaited. And so, without giving you a choice, the mercenary of dawn snatched you from your world.
