After they ended their mission, everyone gathered back to the bus and then they realized that three people were missing.
Lord Cyrus… Ember and Harley.
Cyrus went round looking for Harley, he closed his eyes and tried connecting to where she was and he saw an abondoned building and he used his power to locate it.
He was surprised to see the building on fire and Harley trapped in it.
“Hailey.”, He called and she turned to his direction.
Cyrus …! Are you really the one?”, She asked and he raised his brow.
“Was she really calling him by his name again?”
“Do I look like different?”, He asked still with his cold and huskily voice.
“Thank you for coming for me Cyrus.”, She said as she bursted into tears and rushed to hug him.
“Don’t touch me, I don’t ….!”, He didn’t finish his statement when Harley hugged him tightly like her life depended on it.
“Let’s get of here.”, He said releasing himself for her grip as he carried her in a bridal style.
“I really thought I was going to die.”, She said as she began to sob and Cyrus almost scoffed.
Emily from outside the building used her power to kill the power. She controls water.
Cyrus got outside and he dropped her and everyone surrounded her.
“Are you okay?”, Alex said and Cyrus looked away.
He must really admit — he has been having a weird thought that Alex has fallen for Harley… Maybe that was why he didn’t want her to be killed.
Cyrus was about leaving to look for ember when she appeared.
“Where did you go to?”, He asked and she was about to reply when she set her eyes on Harley and she looked I’m shock.
“How did she survive? Wasn’t she struck in the fire?”
Then suddenly she burst into tears and pointed at Harley.
“She — she is working with magnum, she tried killing me then I used my power by setting that place on fire.”, Ember said admist tears and Cyrus turned to look at Harley.
“No she is a liar, she is the one working for Magnus, she tried killing me that’s why she set the place on fire.”, Harley said and everyone just stared at each other confused.
“Cyrus I know that I haven’t been been nice to Harley but you know I would never kill and betray you because that’s how much I love you.”, Ember said as tears rolled down her face.
“No — please believe me, she is a liar, she tried killing me, she is working with the enemy to bring you down.”, Harley said trying to defend herself.
“Let’s go back, we will settle this when we get back.”, Cyrus said.
Ember smirked seeing that she put everyone in a tight corner, at least not everyone will believe Harley especially Cyrus.

Everyone assembled in the hall because whenever someone happens and it needs to be investigated, it is usually done in the hall, Infront of everyone.
Harley said ember stood in the front while Cyrus, Alex and the rest sat down facing them.
Harley closed her eyes to read Emily mind, she really has to get it right this time around.
“I just need to get you out of the picture and Cyrus would do that himself.”
“What took you to the abondoned building?”, Alex asked Harley.
“Magnus took me there, he wanted to take advantage of me then Ember appeared saying that they should kill me.”, She explained.
“What about you Ember?”, He asked.
“Well it’s the same thing for me also, I was forcefully taken there by Magnus and then Harley appeared saying that I should be killed.”, Ember replied.
“Why did Magnus take you there ember?”
“He wanted me to join his group because he wants me to betray Cyrus but of course I rejected his offer then Harley appeared saying that I wasn’t of a use then and I’m ruining her plan of making Cyrus fall for her, she then asked Magnus to kill me.”, She explained.
“You are a liar.”, Harley shouted.
“When did you escape then? I mean … How come Harley was the only person lord Cyrus met there?”, He asked.
“Magnus left her to finish me off and disappeared then I used my power to set the place on fire and escape.”, She replied.
“How did you escape?”
“Through the door of course, you know I can only control fire, I can’t teleport.”, She replied.
“She is twisting it, she was the one that asked magus to kill me since that was the only opportunity she had, then I told her I was pregnant but she still set the place on fire and disappeared with Magnus, she is a traitor.”, Harley said looking at Cyrus who only stared at her.
