Diana, Akko and Amanda were quickly surrendered by Margaret and the most disastrous of all is that they were captured as if it was nothing, even with Laura's intervention that was trying to get to Ford, it was not enough, the witch was more powerful than everything, McLaren could not handle the blows of Benson, who was willing to do anything to have the plans accomplished, going to a hidden place in Luna Nova, as a way to hide from the others, besides giving continuity to the plans, being the worst of all, that Chariot and Croix were still to arrive where the witch's seal was, about to discover that actually it was another person that was sealed.

Bernadette kept following by the magical presence that she was feeling weakening, she reached the corridor where room three was, but by there she felt that the presence was further ahead, so she went running to the room, coming across the horrible scene in which there was her wife a little hurt in some parts, besides her daughter and her girlfriend tied up in chairs, which Cavendish soon uses a healing spell causing McLaren to end up waking up.

" What? Shit! I didn't make it! That bitch hit me... Hellene! Marianne! " Said the redhead waking up in despair still feeling some pain.

" Stay here freckles, I'll untie them, I came as fast as I could when you left your presence to track you down " Said the Scot untying the girls.

" Cabbage Patch... She took Akko, Diana and Amanda, I'm sure, I couldn't see, but she was carrying what looked like a sled must have been with the bodies of the three... I know she didn't kill them, but our lassies are at risk, she's kidnapping them, we have to find them as soon as possible before things get worse," said the Irish girl forcing herself up.

" By the way we didn't find Nelson in her room, the suspicion is more real than it seems, Margaret was hiding here the whole time, now how she managed to escape from the seals is a real mystery, even with only one it wasn't even for her to leave the place, something happened to the real Nelson so that Margaret could get out " Cavendish said.

" I don't know what happened, but we'll soon find out when Croix and Chariot find Nelson, now let's get the lassies to safety, or wake them up, they must know something " McLaren said getting up and watching her wife using a spell to scan both their bodies.

" So early they don't wake up... Margaret used a sleeping pill on them, we will only know in the morning, for now let's take them to their rooms, poor things must be victims of Margaret and then we will try to search for the presence of the others " Said the one with olive green eyes starting to carry Marianne by the arms.

The two from there went together walking through the corridors taking the couple to the brown team's room, where they left the pair lying on the same bed as a couple, then walking back to Nelson's room, where they were still searching everything, but at the same time they couldn't find anything, they even tried to do a spell to repair objects to their previous state, but nothing solved it.

" What about something? What about that blood on your T"shirt? " Finnelan asks.

" It's ugly down there, Margareth is around here, she's back, the worst of it is that she might have taken Diana, Akko and Amanda, besides having hurt Hellene and Marianne, but those we managed to find, after being tied up and put to sleep, our mission changes now " Said the one with platinum hair.

" That's my blood, I got a lot of it from Margaret, we have to organize ourselves all over the corridors, we have to find some place where Ford could have hid, before things get much worse," said the redhead all motivated.

" Don't you think we'd better wait for Ursula and Croix? We are not that powerful witches and in case we meet this Margaret it is good to have reinforcements, besides it is better you rest a little Laura, you are one of the strongest and you lost easily to Margaret " Said the wife and with that she even agreed with her head.

And that's how they stayed, waiting seated in Nelson's room, trying to think of a way to save the girls from Margaret's hands from the worst that could have happened, so much so that soon the news was being sent to the pair that were still on the way.
After some considerable minutes the two land on the snowy island of Svalbard, walking in the middle of the blizzard, they reach the entrance of the place where Margaret was sealed and with that they are already taking a look at the messages.

[Bernadette: We came to Nelson's room and she didn't show up, we still have some suspicious news, besides her not being there there is a letter from Hellene that shows that she has been doing suspicious things, she said that we are in the middle of it, but it is something totally out of the plans] 22:41

[Photo of the letter] 22:41

[Laura: Margareth is in Luna Nova, me and her faced each other a few minutes ago, she is stronger than ever, I couldn't even tell, she tied Hellene and Marianne, it was Nelson all the time! Plus Diana, Akko and Amanda are on their hands, the sealed girls, we're in serious trouble now] 22:58

" And then they said something? " Chariot asks and it was noticeable Croix's expression of fear and concern.

" Love... Margareth is on the loose, she has captured the three girls, they have gone to the room where she goes to Claiomh Solais' hideout, love... Margareth not only has them on her hands, she has Claiomh Solais! She was Nelson all along, we have to save the real Nelson now " Meridies said.

The two went running to the end of the corridor, where the real Nelson was sitting there, cowering with fear, the couple even getting close, but Alberta was terrified, all shrunk with fear of the presence of the two.

" Hey Nelson, it's us, we're sorry about this mission," said the red haired one.

" How do I know it's you? I was days and days, weeks stuck in this place, it's like I was in an endless nightmare, I thought I had died and stopped in hell, you have no idea how terrifying it is " said the frightened witch.

" I'm Chariot, I can prove it because I know your favourite dish is Mac n cheese, only a real friend will know something like that, ready? " Said the red-eyed one.

" Is that you guys? Fuck me! Why did you send me to this place! Look at the terror I've been through, the last thing I saw was that disgusting girl staring at me and I've been sitting here for over an hour afraid to leave " said the lady.

" We're going back to Luna Nova, we're going to make her pay, there are three of us plus the others, they must have found Margaret by now, we have to work together against this monster " said the Frenchwoman giving Nelson her hand to stand up.

The own one gives the hand they get up and from there they start to fly with all the speed back to Luna Nova, where by there was already that feeling of anxiety, mixed with fear, with them walking from one side to the other just thinking in what they are going to do, in how to act around Margareth's situation.
The minutes passed and soon the brooms landed in Luna Nova, with the girls arriving there running to Nelson's room, according to the notice that was left by Laura on the mobile phone, also having the call of Constanze, Jasminka, Sucy and Lotte to help in this search.

" I read the whole thing... " Said the shocked Croix.

" We have to find them soon, let's group together... I even brought their four classmates, to see if we can find them better, since they are also witches and can be useful in this search " Laura said.

" You've turned my room upside down, what a mess, I've barely arrived and I'm already in this mess," said Nelson.

" Then we will help you with your room, we must now try to find her and then inform each other, in a discreet way, she may be strong, but against us she is nothing " McLaren said.

And with that a map was made where the groups would divide themselves in the floors looking for the most improbable places, in the superior floors, there would be searches made by the oldest of Luna Nova, in this case Finnelan, Lukic, Nelson and Badcock, in the intermediate floors, there would be Croix, Chariot, Sucy and Lotte, and in the inferior floors, very close to room three, Laura, Bernadette, Constanze and Jasminka would go.
After defining the division each one took some torches, besides also taking their mobile phones to warn in case there was someone around, they separated and started the search.
On the lower floors there the girls
went, going first to room three where they investigated the surroundings, until they found the hidden devices.

" Quite suspicious indeed... she made sure to leave a notice to let us know when our girls would be here " McLaren said.

" Even motion sensors, we are dealing with someone here who was smarter than us, we now have to be smarter than her or even think like her " Cavendish said.

" You're right, Constanze, your gadget is detecting some other device " asks the Irish woman and she notices that she only denies with her head.

With that they go sort of walking doing the way that the trio was doing, entering in the trapdoor and together they were walking in the corridor already facing the open door of the seal, what they go following the way, walking more ahead, the candles are being lighted by the way, they go on walking there, until arriving down in the exact room where the Claiomh Solais was found, and there Laura and Bernadette go closing the eyes, while Constanze goes trying to detect something with her device.

" It was a very high use of magic with many traces of Diana, Akko and Amanda, they tried to cast spells around here, Margaret showed almost none, only the use of a barrier and another, she really is very good at this question of stealth " Said the redhead with her eyes closed

" Just before we left to look for the lassies, it was the moment we reached Marianne's room, she struck the lassies with just a thump, then the magical presence vanished, we won't find any magic spending around here that easily, just a flash... E... " Said the platinum haired one also with her eyes closed.

" Claiomh Solais! " They say the two together.

" This is a very scary place, if I were Margaret I would hide here just to intimidate us " comments Jasminka.

" She really took Claiomh Solais, but I think she must have refused her, so much so that you could notice the ropes wrapping around her so as not to have touch, she tied the lassies up with magic and left them on top of a sled, but now I can't know anything more than that " Said the blue-eyed one who was opening her lenses.

" From here it would be good to have a Rosemary around, she doesn't just stick to magic trails " Said the one with olive green eyes, but soon Constanze's device detected something.

The German points to what was an apparent drag trail of the sled which already opened a range of possibilities, in this they were following where it passed, stopping at the lift, where it went all the way back up, where back in room three the trail kind of intensified with a mess of tracks due to Ford's kick.

" Now is the moment where I was " McLaren said.

" Let's see where she stopped after that one, but what a silly murderer, she forgot that the sleigh leaves tracks " Cavendish said.

" Or you know and you'll try to fool us," said the redhead.

The four were following the sled tracks through the corridors, arriving where it was even more evident, the oldest corridors, but when they arrive there the drag lines sort of split in many, what ends up causing a huge strangeness to them, who stop on the way.
They follow the first one that they saw on the nearest path, they go walking for some good meters, until stopping where it was the door of a room, when they open it they find a sled that had mounted a machine gun on top of it that starts to shoot constantly, but luckily it didn't hit them as Laura and Bernadette used a spell of magic barrier getting out of there and then taking cover while the machine gun was shooting practically without stopping.

" Damn, I knew she wasn't stupid, all these tracks are traps, we will have to be very careful from now on, she did everything planned to prevent us from reaching the three " McLaren said.

" We were almost fried by that thing, it left an ammunition that is also strong enough to break a good magic shield " Cavendish said.

" It was the 1.5 machine gun, all blown up on the pavement," said the Irish woman laughing.

" This is no time to remember these things my freckles, let's try to find all the traces, no doubt there must be one of them that is right.

Margareth left twelve different trails, and so they went a little one in the search of the real one, in the second one again they were almost shot by machine guns, thinking that the farthest one would be the right one, then in the third one they went again making an order from the closest to the farthest one.
They were almost blown up by grenades being thrown, in another abandoned room, in the fourth they came across crossbows that caused nothing, luckily the presence of the two witches was what saved them from the worst, they went being more stealthy and alert, which really proved to be useful.
Arriving at the fifth sled and they could almost be caught on their backs by a machine that moved blades that luckily didn't hit anyone, besides shots with silencing pistols.

" That damn thing has set all kinds of traps," Laura said, a little annoyed.

" It amazes me how she has thought it all out so we don't go after Diana, Akko and Amanda anyway, we have to stay on alert, it's going to be that she is only doing this to buy time in another hiding place " Bernadette said.

" Well anyway it's all recorded in the Cons go"pro " McLaren said,

It was already half of the attempts, and in this one they faced spears coming out of the ground with another sled with machine guns, going to the seventh attempt where there simply had what looked like a pool of hydrochloric acid that was thrown on the ground until dissolving what was around, they even went running from there not to let a drop touch them, no matter how much it looked like water.
Eighth try, the room was a trapdoor with spears, in the ninth try another machine gun, in the tenth try it was a trapdoor and underneath it had some snakes, and even spiders what made Laura run a little far away for having arachnophobia. Penultimate attempt, there is a kind of strange swimming pool until they come across when a flame thrower appears and sets fire in everything, practically it would be a death where they could be boiled.

" Okay, the tenth one was the worst of all, ahhh," Laura said shakily.

" There's only one more to go, love, we'll soon find her," said Bernadette consoling her wife.

They were walking following the trail of the penultimate one and carefully too, they even hid themselves not to be hit when the door opened but nothing happened, they went to check what they had and it was nothing but the trail of the sled, where they were walking there, until they found a letter on top of it, McLaren took it to read it already getting a bit mad.

"did you really think I was going to make it that easy for you guys, you must have gone through all my challenges, all the sledding paths, but I'm sorry to say it's not going to lead to anything, you got this far and you probably think the next one has something, but it's more of a machine gun, anyway, I'm not that stupid to leave my trail on sleds, I knew it would roll, anyway, if you got this far and you're alive, good luck, because you better hold your own against my golens"

And the doors were closing, two golens were getting up, Laura and Bernadette looked at each other and went attacking the monster and even showed an easiness, when using a spell that revealed the weaknesses, then they went in sync taking spears that were around, where they stuck well where there was the weak point of the creatures that fell on the ground breaking all of them.

" She fooled us with the sleds, but we have to find these girls, it's all filmed anyway, let's go " McLaren said signalling for the girls to get out of there.

But they were walking in all directions, trying to find some proof, but nothing, they were passing through all the rooms, but they couldn't see or hear anything, not even with magic they could go forward, Margaret hid herself in a way that made everything more discreet, no secret passages would do, so they had to go back upstairs after a good few hours of research.
Back to Professor Nelson's room they sat down frustrated on the sofa and soon saw the others half surprised with everything they heard.

" I don't know if this woke up everyone in Luna Nova, but I could hear the machine guns from here, I felt like it was a war, the grenades and everything, what happened? " Nelson asks.

" Margaret deceived us, she put false leads on the way and even with traps, we have to be as careful as possible with her, our life can be in huge risk because of that wretched woman " Laura said.

" Tomorrow morning we continue the search, it will be clearer, let's rest, it's already late at night, I know that worrying takes a lot, but there's nothing we can do " Croix said.

" Morgana and Saori will kill us when they find out about all this. " McLaren said half"heartedly.

And no one found Diana, Akko and Amanda, only Hellene and Marianne were found, which is still not much, since Margaret continues to hide, in a place of Luna Nova where no one has ever set foot before, which to make matters worse hides some very dark secrets, and soon these girls will wake up discovering the disaster they got themselves into and where they are.

See you, dissapeared witches...
