Trapped to Save a Lover

Chapter 1~

Doctor Helen Magnus sat in her study, looking over some data she had taken. A knock on the Old City Sanctuary's doors interrupted her thoughts. Opening the doors, Helen looked out to find no one there except for a small envelope on the ground. Slowly and cautiously, Helen bent down and picked it up. From the envelope she pulled a letter written in blood. It read, "To save the one you love, come to the sign of the red dove."

Helen wasn't sure what the strange letter meant, but she didn't like the sound of it. Shaking the envelope, she found it was heavier than it should be. Holding it upside down, a ziplock bag fell into her hand. The only thing inside it was what seemed to be a short strand of black hair.

Something was gnawing at Helen's mind; she didn't like the look of things. There was something strangely familiar about the black strand. Walking to the computer lab, she found Henry working. Noticing her, Henry looked up and smiled. "What's up Doc?"

Helen merely handed him the strange letter. Henry read it over. A confused look came over his face. "Where did you get this?"

"It was just dropped at the door. I only assumed it was meant for me." Helen responded, sitting down next to him.

"I'll scan the blood," Henry offered, inserting the message into his machine. "Do you have any idea who its from or what it means?"

Helen shook her head sadly. "I wish I did. This also came with the letter," She handed him the ziplock bag. "It looks like a piece of black hair." Suddenly the machine beeped. Data appeared on the screen.

Henry shook his head, perplexed. "This is way over my head, doc. I've never seen this kind of stuff before!"

Helen looked over the data and groaned. "I have. It's a very unique blood type that could only belong to one man."

Henry looked up at Helen. "Who?"

Magnus sighed. "Nikola Tesla."
