Gathering information and uncovering truths

Chapter 13: Gathering Information and Uncovering Truths

Emily's alliance with The Shadow proved to be a game-changer. The Shadow would disappear and reappear, bringing Emily valuable information about her captors.

"I've learned that they're planning to move you soon," The Shadow whispered, its voice only audible to Emily.

Emily's heart skipped a beat. She knew she had to act fast.

Meanwhile, Sophie and the detectives followed a trail of clues that led them to the Oakwood library. There, they discovered an ancient tome bound in black leather.

As they flipped through its yellowed pages, they uncovered a shocking truth: Oakwood was founded on a dark pact, one that had been hidden for centuries.

The kidnappers, it seemed, were mere pawns in a larger game. But what was their ultimate goal?

The kidnappers' plan was set in motion. Emily was dragged from her cell, thrown into a van, and driven to a mysterious location.

As the van doors slid open, Emily saw a figure waiting for her. It was someone she knew, someone she trusted.

But why were they involved in her kidnapping.
