The clan arrived at the museum in no time flat. As soon as they landed they quickly ran towards the back entrance. Once they enter Goliath tried to contact Matt but he wasn't answering.
"Matt, its Goliath can you hear me?" Goliath heard nothing from his communicator so he decided to try again.
"Matt, come in can you hear me?" He said didn't get an answer which worried him.
'Something is not right.' He thought.
"Father, did Matt answer?" Angela asked.
"No we must search the entire museum." Everyone agreed and went in separate direction each taking different sections of the museum. They search high and low for any signs of Elisa or Matt but so far they didn't find anything. As Angela enters the Native American Exhibit she gasped at what she saw. Elisa chocking the life out of Matt. She could hear Matt struggling to breath.
"Elisa! Stop!" Angela quickly ran up to Elisa pulling her hands off from Matts' neck but Elisa had a tight grip on it. But Angela didn't give up. She pulled and pulled with all her strength. Suddenly Elisa loosened her grip as she began her descendent towards the ground, taking Angela with her. They both hit the ground hard. Matt coughed and rubbed his neck trying to subdue the pressure from his neck. He was able to compose himself and as he did he saw Angela and Elisa lying on the ground and quickly turned his attention to them.
"Oh my god! Are you guys alright?"
Angela slowly moved her head and looked at Elisa. She was unconscious but what caught her eye was her face. 'It looks like she's in pain but also sad.'
"Elisa…" Angela sat up as Matt got on his knees placing Elisa head on his lap. He checked her head to see if she was ok.
"Her head is ok. No bumps. At least none that I can see."
"That's good." Angela was glad that Elisa wasn't physically hurt though she was worried about her emotional and mental health. She looked at Matt and saw his neck.
"Matt, your neck." Angela lifted her talon up and touches his neck. Matt winced in pain.
"My neck is ok. I'm more worried about Elisa." He looked down at Elisa seeing the pain that she had on her face.
"I better call father and the others." Angela reached for her communicator and contacts the others.
"Guys Matt and I found Elisa she's at the Native American Exhibit."
"Is she alright?" Goliath asked. There was a long pause before Angela finally answered.
"No, she's not. She's…she's unconscious. Please hurry to the exhibit." Angela disconnected and waited for the others to come. Goliath was the first one to enter the exhibit. As soon as he saw Elisa on the ground he quickly ran to her side. He got on his knees and saw the look on Elisa's face.
"Oh Elisa." Goliath gently brushed the side of her face.
"What happened here?"
"When I got to the exhibit Elisa was standing next to pendent. I didn't understand why she decided to stop at the display. I approached her slowly seeing if she was alright, but when I did she…" Matt looked down at Elisa.
"She what Matt?" Angela asked.
"She started talking…saying things that didn't make sense at all. It was if she was someone else." Angela and Goliath looked at each other when he said that.
"When I called her again she turned again and gave me a blank stare. She then…she…began to choke me to death."
"What?!" Goliath couldn't believe what Matt just said, "No, Elisa would never…"
"But she did father." Angela said, "I saw it with my own eyes. If I didn't come when I did Elisa would have…" Angela stopped herself from finishing the sentence. Silence took over as they reflect on what Matt just told them. They look Elisa with great concern. Suddenly the rest of the clan arrived at the exhibit. They saw everyone was on the ground looking at Elisa.
"Lad, is Elisa alright?" Hudson asked.
"No, Hudson she isn't." Goliath answered honestly. He then grabbed Elisa and gently placed her in his arms.
"Come we must take Elisa home. Her mother is waiting for us." Everyone watched as Goliath carried Elisa out of the exhibit. They then followed suit and headed to the apartment.
Meanwhile Diane paced back and forth on the rooftop of the apartment. Ever since Goliath left it was all she could do. It was the only way to keep her mind from creating negative thoughts. But slowly the negative thoughts began to manifest itself.
'Oh Elisa where are you? Are you hurt? Did you hurt yourself? What if Goliath and the others are too late? What if…' Diane stopped pacing at this point.
'No I need to stop thinking like this. Elisa is fine. She will come home safe and sound.' Diane looks up at the sky and saw the clan along with Matt and…
"Elisa!" Diane ran up to the clan as they landed on the roof. When she reached Elisa she could see the sad, painful look she had.
"Goliath, what happened to her?"
"It is a long story and I will tell you but first I want to put Elisa to bed. I wish for her to be comfortable while she's sleeping."
"Come everyone let's get inside." Diane led everyone inside the apartment. Once inside Goliath, Diane and Angela walked towards Elisa's bedroom while the others waited in the living room. Goliath gently laid Elisa on her bed. He took one last look before leaving the room. Once Goliath left Angela and Diane change Elisa out of her clothes and into something comfortable. A few minutes later Diane and Angela emerged from the bedroom. Diane closed the door almost all the way, leaving a small crack open just in case. As she entered the living room Hudson was just finishing up his examination of Matts' neck.
"Ay lad it looks like you're going to have that bruise for a while."
"What bruise?" Diane asked.
"Umm…" Diane walked towards Matt and saw the bruise on his neck.
"Oh my god. Matt, who did this to you?"
"No one. It was a freak accident that's all." Matt didn't want to lie but he didn't want Diane to think Elisa was dangerous or anything. She was already worried to the extreme as it is.
Diane knew Matt was lying about his injury. She also knew who it was that did this to him.
"Elisa did this, didn't she?"
Matt eyes widen she said that. 'The way she said that was more of a statement than a question. Is there something she's not telling us?'
After a few moments Matt nodded his head, "Yes, but it was an accident I swear. Elisa would never hurt me on purpose. She wasn't herself. It was if…"
"It was if she was being control by someone else." Everyone looked at Diane when she said that.
"How did you…"
"Because it has happened before. A long time ago." Diane looked at the bruise on Matts' neck.
"I must apologize for Elisa actions tonight though I know this apology are not enough to condone her behavior these past few nights."
"Diane there is nothing to apologize for." Broadway said.
"That's right. Besides we are not the ones we're worried about right now." Lex said.
"Aye, all we want to know what exactly is happening to young Elisa." Hudson said. Everyone was wondering the same thing. All they want was answers and the only person who has those answers was sitting in front of them. Diane knew it was time that the clan and Matt knew everything about Elisa and her past.
