The room is nice at least. The carvings on the wooden bed felt expensive. There are no curtains, no windows. Instead, the space is used up by a column of shelves, filled with books ranging from fiction to academia. Her fingers grazed upon the numerous titles once her original panic subsided. Nothing sparks her interest, not unless there's a book somewhere titled 'How to escape a kidnapping: For dummies'.

Alyssandra hadn't expected to get kidnapped, of course, yet here she was. She could still see Trevor's head rolling to the side and Rose's panicked expression on seeing her partner of a little below a millenia, die.

The door opens and reveals her captor. Elijah stood tall with broad shoulders and suit perfectly tailored to the monster wearing it. His eyes were sharp as he stares her down. He remains on the other side of the room, giving her ample space. Yet Alyssandra knew it was nothing but an illusion of safety. He's more relaxed- like a cat about to push a vase down from the highest shelf. He knows he's already won. He has the doppelgänger.

What's important to her is that it stays that way.
