The next morning, it was a Saturday morning.


    The elves usually had their normal routine of going to the forest to nt the seed of any fruit they had.


    “WAKE UP, EVERYONE!”Callista, the senior elf shouted using a mega phone.


    “So loud”Amanda grumbled as she searched around with her hand for her pillow as she ced it over her head.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    “WAKE UP!”Callista shouted over the the mega phone into Amanda’s ears startling her and making her fall off her bed.


    “What did you do that for?”Amanda whined in the ground.


    “Because I knew you would say ‘so loud’ ” Callista said as she gestures to the bed beside Amanda”Wake up Ste too”


    Callista then went around each rooms as she summoned all the elves.


    Few minutester, they all lined up in a straight line of two’s.


    The guys one line and the girls in another with their little baskets in their hands.


    The leader of the guys, Draco and the leader of the girls, Callista both stood Infront of each lines to lead their troops into the forest.


    Callista led her troops effortlessly but as Draco was about to lead his troop with his eyes still so heavy with sleep, he tripped over a nk of wood falling to the ground and making his troops all fall down too.


    Callista shook her head in disappointment as Amanda sighed looking at them”They must be so lucky to have Draco as their leader” she looked ahead and shouted”Hey, why don’t we all trip Callista too?!”


    “Don’t even think about it”Callista said sternly warning all the girls as she continued leading them into the forest.


    As they entered into the forest, Ste who was behind Amanda on the line kept on dozing off and hitting Amanda’s back.


    Amanda squinted her eyes as she saw a familiar face in a flyer pasted on the bark of a tree.


    “Hey, Ste”Amanda said calling Ste and making her jump .


    “Yes, mother. It’s me”Ste said suddenly waking up.


    Amanda pointed at the flyer”Isn’t that ‘pretty missy’?”


    Ste squinted her eyes to where Amanda was pointed at and she smiled”You are right. Why is she taped to that tree? Let’s go free her”


    They headed towards the tree and removed the flyer.


    Amanda gasped as she read the content of the flyer”Death?”she turned to shake Ste who was still dozing off and waking her uppletely.


    “We need to go to lord Damien”Amanda said.


    “Why?” Ste asked sleepy.


    “Because, pretty missy might be in trouble if we are toote”


    In the Angel’s realm, Geraldine and Edison carried Hermenes hostage by his arms as they dragged him to Nana.


    “What’s going on?” Hermenes asked confused”I deserve an exnation! Geraldine?”


    Neither of them answer him as they continued dragging him to Nana.


    They ced him down Infront if Nana and closed the door.


    “Nana, what’s going on?”


    Nana sighed”I’m sorry for calling you this way, Hermenes but-”


    “I thought you’ve said everything that you needed to say yesterday in your office? I told you I would behave from now on, Nana”


    Nana sighed “Then in that case”she ced a lock over Hermenes hands”Wear this for today”


    A lock was used to seize an angel’s power. It can only be removed by the one who ced it too.


    Hermenes looked at his hands in shock”W-Why?”


    “Well you see” Nana said with a worried expression written all over her face”Alexa’s in trouble”


    Nana gestured to the window where all the creatures of Avand had gathered with stones in their hands chanting “BRING DOWN THE SLUT! BRING DOWN THE SLUT!”


    Hermenes eyes widened in disbelief. He turned to face Nana”Unlock me now, Nana”


    “I’m sorry Hermenes but-”


    “Nana”Hermenes said with tears brimming in his eyes “Right now Alexa must be feeling so helpless. I have to do something for her”


    “I understand that you must be upset, Hermenes but you have to control your anger. At least for Alexa. I’m sure she wouldn’t like you going back to Amsterdam”


    “I don’t care about Amsterdam!”Hermenes shouted as he wiped off his tears”Right now, mother and father must be in tears as they are watching people call their precious daughter a slut. People who don’t even know an inkling about her!”


    “I can’t just sit and watch, Nana”Hermenes looked down at his hands “With locks or not, I’m going to kill them all”


    Hermenes said as he stormed out of the room he was with Nana.


    Meanwhile in Alexa’s room, Josty, Celine and Karina stared out the window.


    “I’m scared. What is going on?”Karina asked.


    Celine turned turned back to see Alexa still asleep”Well thank goddess she’s still asleep for now”


    Josty sighed”But she won’t be asleep for long”


    The girls all turned around facing the window and watching the chaos going on outside oblivious to the tears that rolled down Alexa’s eyes.


    Meanwhile as the little elves, Amanda and Ste got to the demon realm, they breathed out heavily.


    “I’m tired”Steined trying to catch her breath.


    “We have to hurry, we don’t have time to waste”


    When they reach the gate of the demon realm, Rosco looked at them confused.


    “Elves? When did elves starting here?” He asked.


    “It’s urgent, please. Tell lord Damien that we seek his presence”Amanda said in a hurry.


    “Lord Damien doesn’t grant elves his presence. Heins that it makes his neck hurt him so shoo”Rosco said using a small broom to chase them away.


    “Then tell him it’s aboutdy Alexa”Ste interjected and immediately Rosco gave them permission in.


    When they got to Damien’s chambers, they threw himself at his feet.


    “What is this I hear?” Damien asked.


    “My lord. We were in the forest going about our elvial, when we stumbled across this”Amanda stretched out the flyer to Damien.” I fear that yourdy might be in trouble if you don’t-”


    Before Amanda couldplete her sentence, Damien had rushed out of the realm quicker than her next breath.
