## Overview

### September 20th

Sage was abducted in their room by Piper Pierce, who was masked. It was revealed that she kidnapped Sage on her mother's orders, because Ophelia knew the truth behind Nexus's true potiental within the Mystical World. Sage was eventually knocked out by Piper to keep them quiet.

Sage was eventually taken to an abandoned cabin in the Dark Forest, where they were tied up and kept. Piper would act as a solemn friend to Sage, despite being their kidnapper

### September 21st

Dina has a dream about Sage and in the said dream, Kirby ends up in a dark place, yelling for Sage. Eventually, she wakes up and realises that something is wrong

At 7:45am, Gabriella shows up to Dina's house to reveal that Sage has gone missing and that the dream came true, or as Dina reveals it, a premonition, due to her precognitive abilties.

Gabriella pleaded with Dina to come back to school and she agreed as she had left shortly after her mother had died. Dina thought it was right for her to return to school and deal with the demons.

Dina gets ready and heads out with Gabriella, who drives her to Carlisle Academy. Dina hops out of Gabriella's car with people staring at her, but as she walks over to her friends, they glare at her before Stephanie runs and hugs Dina, who aplogizes. Lyra and Dina then revisit their actions at the party.

As the group start discussing Sage's disappearance, they are dismissed by Lady Watts, who needs to talk to Dina about her extended depature from school.

As Dina finishes with Watts, she goes back into the history classroom with Mr Cross was teaching, he glares at Dina and she sits down on a chair, next to Lyra and starts explaining everything. 2 police officers barge into the room, looking for Lyra & Dina.

Both girls are supposedly arrested for Sage's "murder".

Dina and Lyra are suddenly locked up in a jail cell without knowing the reason. Dina screams for help but the police officer present in the room does not respond until a female officer arrives and unlocks the cell. The female officer requests their help for some investigation, but does not disclose any details. Dina and Lyra start following the female officer, and Lyra asks for her name.

The female police officer who unlocked their jail cell reveals her name as Officer Pierce. While walking with her, Lyra urges Dina to share details of Mr. Cross and how he had harmed her in the past. Dina is hesitant and afraid of being charged with a crime. Officer Pierce overhears their conversation and asks them to share the details with her in a separate room. The officer leads them to an interrogation room to talk in private.

Dina, Lyra & Officer Pierce enter an old, unused interrogation room where Dina reveals that her history teacher had been sleeping with her for the past five months. Officer Pierce offers to help her take action against the teacher if there is any evidence. Officer Pierce then explains to them that they are there to help identify a body, but does not reveal whose body it is. They head towards the morgue, and Dina grows more nervous. They then stop as they see Pierce talking to another officer, who asks them to follow her to the morgue.

Dina and Lyra enter the morgue and Dina becomes visibly nervous. Officer Pierce reveals to them that young people from their academy have been going missing for months and they need to help identify the bodies. Pierce asks them if they recognize the faces of the two bodies, and Dina recognizes one as Liliana Hughes, a tenth-grade student. Pierce then unzips the second body bag, and Dina is shocked to see the face of Nancy Dalston, an eleventh-grader in her literature class. Dina asks how Nancy died and if her injuries were similar to Liliana's. Pierce grows suspicious, but eventually lets them leave. Dina jokes with Lyra about a nickname.

Dina and Lyra teleport from the station back to the Academy courtyard where they discuss the time and the end of their class. Officer Pierce approaches them and asks where Mr. Cross is teaching. Pierce tells them that Mr. Cross will be arrested due to reports from 5 different girls who reported him for various sexual crimes, including Liliana Hughes who committed suicide. Dina endorses the arrest before following Pierce to Mr. Cross's classroom where he is handcuffed and arrested for the sexual assault of several girls and the murder of Liliana Hughes. Pierce lets everyone, including Dina and Lyra, go home after the arrest, but they are met by Stephanie and Gabriella who ask if everything is okay. She reveals that she needs to tell them something.

On the trip, Steph admits to Dina that Liliana had confided in her about the assault, and she had kept it a secret due to blackmail from Liliana's family. Dina is shocked and comforts Steph.

Dina comforts Steph after she reveals she knew about the assault on Liliana but kept it a secret due to blackmail.
