“We swing across," David said, leading the way.

Before anyone could blink, David grabbed the rope, swung

across in a perfect arc, and landed on the other side with

ease.

One by one, the bodyguards followed, swinging across the

pit like a well-oiled machine.

It took them less than five minutes to cross, while Danielle

had spent hours thinking of a way to get past it.

David’s unease grew with each passing second.

Back on the other side, the fight between Danielle and the

mask-wearers raged on. She had been hit several times,

but her focus never wavered.

The Darling family, hiding in the shadows, watched in

agony, unable to help.

Then, a glimmer of hope: Danielle’s eyes lit up as she

pulled out a few silver needles and drove them into the

head of one of the mask-wearers. The weak spot!

Just as she was celebrating her success, another mask-

wearer appeared behind her, silently preparing to strike.

His fist came crashing down toward her back.

Xavier, who had been watching Danielle’s every move, saw

the threat and rushed forward without hesitation.

"Danielle, look out!" he shouted.

In an instant, Xavier was in front of Danielle, taking the full

blow to his chest. The sound
