"No!" Helena laughed. "Jason never bit you. It was Mr. Higgins, Bree's father. He bit you. You see he is a neotide and his daughter is aware of it."

Dawn's eyes narrowed, fury turning into wrath. So Bree knew all along about it and she had been in cahoots with them. "Because of Bree's ambition, my whole life changed," she murmured. The emotional scar that had started to develop got peeled in a second and her heart started bleeding. The moment of revelation was not as she had imagined. It was worse.

Anne stepped inside the cell. She broke Dawn's chain of emotions that swirled like a storm inside. "Tsk tsk. My brother did love his kids a lot. I asked him sweetly as to where he had stashed all that money, but he didn't say a word! Plus he had even come to know that I was having an affair with Helena. That foolish man was planning on going to the police to expose us." She sighed. "See where he landed?"

Dawn glared at Anne. "You didn't really have any love for your brother?"

"Oh come on Dawn! I loved Helena. Don't look at me like that and accuse me of not loving my brother," she mocked. "You didn't deserve the money my brother earned. It was the money of the Wyatt's and yours," said Anne coldly. "My mother's sole purpose to be in his house was to control all that he earned, but then you happened! Lily did hate you a lot, like a lot!"

Dawn dug her claws in her palm to the point of puncturing her skin. She was working for Lily now.

Anne continued, "I am so glad that you are here. Now we are going to finish what we started. This will be our revenge. You went against us and put us behind the bars. Now we have ensured that you are here and we are going to kill you! Go and meet your father and mother in the heaven and say them hello for us!" Saying that Anne lunged at her with a foot-long knife towards her heart. Nothing happened. She felt as though the knife passed through water. When she looked back, Dawn's form changed and instead of her, a bulkier frame of a man—Daryn was standing there. His form rippled like water and the knife went through him. There was no blood, no injury.

Anne's mouth fell open. She thought she was dreaming. She lunged again but the phenomenon repeated. Daryn's form rippled into water again and the knife passed through it. Because of the force she had charged at him, she fell on the side and gave him an incredulous look. How come Dawn changed into Daryn? And how did he convert into water?

Helena saw all this. She was just as shocked. She blinked slowly and then stuttered, "Wh— who are you?" Blood drained from her face. Was that a ghost?

Daryn's eyes glazed orange as his body became corporeal. "Don't you recognize me, Helena?" Blue light crackled around his fingers fiercely.

Never even seen this kind of thing, Anne and Helena's muscles froze, as they felt heavy in the limbs. They had blank thoughts as if their brains had stopped working. Fear gripped them.

Mustering her courage, Helena charged at him again with her knife. However, the moment she did that Daryn whirled and pushed her hard on the chest. She was flung into the air on impact and landed on the wall behind, crash-landing over the bed. "Ahhhh!" she cried as her spine took the collision.

This time Anne got up and struck him from behind, but sensing her movement, Daryn turned to face her and thrust his hands in her direction. Blue lights shot out and her body flew across the room as though she was shot through a cannon. She smashed out of the cell on the railing, denting the iron and collapsing on the floor. She screamed, but instead blood pooled in her mouth. She had an incredulous expression on her face when she felt warm liquid oozing out of her chest. She gurgled, "Wh— wh…" blood flowed out of her mouth. She gasped for air. Her eyes hovered over her chest and they became wide when she saw an iron spike of the railing jutting out of her chest. Half of her body was suspended in the air only supported by that iron spike. Shocked, she looked at Daryn.

"Say hello for me to Luke," Daryn growled as he stared at Anne who was gurgling more blood out of her mouth. She was struggling to get up but couldn't. Eventually the world went blank for her.

"Anne!" Helena shrieked, pain lacing her voice. She looked at her unbelievingly. Whatever was happening, it was so fast that her mind was not able to process.

Daryn turned his attention towards Helena. He walked to her like a predator. His eyes shone a brilliant orange and yellow. Every vein in his body was standing with unimaginable power. He caught her throat with his right hand and pulled her up until her feet were dangling in the air. She swayed her hand in front of him to slice him with the knife but she found her hand movements had frozen. Her throat was choked so badly that she was gasping for air. Her eyes began to bulge.

In a menacing tone, he snarled, "You killed Luke because of money, because you wanted to leech off his status and power. You incited Mr. Higgins into biting Dawn. If she wouldn't have attended in time, there was a chance that she would have died." Daryn was mad with rage. His hand was tightening around her neck. "Did you think that I would let my Dawn come to the prison and get killed?" He hurled her across the bed once more. She fell badly and a loud crack was heard. She had fractured her hand. "I knew about your plan long back!"

"Arghhh! Noooo! You have to leave me. This wasn't my idea," she said begging for life and so scared that she thought her pants were wet.

"No Helena, I won't leave you," Daryn said in a cold voice. "I am going to make you live your nightmares for life." He looked into her eyes and suddenly the orange in his eyes started to swirl in circles. "I will take Dawn's revenge! And that too with double impact. I am going to kill you but very slowly and very painfully," he said in a menacing voice.

The next instant Helena saw worms wriggling out of her body. Werewolves lunged at her to bite her. They bit her calves repeatedly. She began thrashing them while blood came out. "No!" she shrieked and brought her forearm to save herself from more attacks. The pain from the bite was excruciating.

Helena was plunged into indescribable nightmares for the rest of her life.

Two days later when Daryn walked out of the prison, he looked like Dawn. Being a sorcerer it was easy for him to put a glamor on himself. He could make anyone believe what he wanted to. When the incident occurred in the cell, no one could hear a word or see anything because he had built a protective shield when the two ladies had entered the cell. He knew that if the word of using his sorcery in the human realm went out, there were repercussions. But who cared? He had avenged his wife. He had to.

And now only Sedora was left!
