The light fades, revealing a darker, more twisted version of the forest they were previously in. A thick mist hangs in the air.

The group stands in a beautiful clearing, a shimmering lake in the center. The contrast with the previous chapter's setting is striking.

The warrior man starts to laugh, a loud and infectious sound.

(Previously) The nefarious Jeff Hardy carried the unconscious Seth Rollins (a secret agent) to his private plane after arriving at the airstrip,he put him down on the sofa in the plane,He tied Seth’s wrists and ankles with Rope,Then he blindfolded him,The plane took off,Jeff gently stroked Seth’s head the whispered “We’ll be together soon Cutie,You just don’t know it yet”,Then he gently kissed Seth’s forehead. (And now part 3). Hours have passed,Seth was still unconscious. Jeff was looking at him. “Despite the fact that He’s tied up and blindfolded…he looks…so peaceful when he sleeps” Jeff thought to himself. Then…Seth slowly regained consciousness. “Good morning cutie” Said Jeff. Seth was confused. “Wh-What?…Where am I?…What’s going on?” Seth asked. “You’re in my private plane,En Route to my secret lair” Said Jeff. Seth tried to struggle. “Don’t try to struggle too much Cutie,You’ll hurt your wrists and ankles against the ropes” Said Jeff. “What do you want from me?” Asked Seth. “Oh it’s very simple cutie…I want YOU” said Jeff. Seth was caught off guard. Jeff lifted Seth in his arms,Then he sat back down and put Seth on his lap. “I’ve been watching you…for quite a long time” Said Jeff. “And I’ve learned things about you” Jeff continued. “And…I know what you’re afraid of” Jeff continued. Seth was about to protest But Jeff gently shushed him. “You’re afraid…of getting your heart broken again” said Jeff. Seth was silent…not because he was stunned…it’s because Jeff was right. “I know you’ve been looking at other couples that love each other and think to yourself “Why can’t I have that?” And I know that you’re scared of letting someone in because you believe if you do…your past will repeat itself” Said Jeff. Seth clenched his fists,The memory of his ex-girlfriend cheating on him in high school and humiliating him in front of the entire school and her saying “Why would I ever want to date a hideous freak like you?!” And the other students laughing at him and tears streaming down his face flashed in his mind, Seth was trying not to cry. Jeff noticed and pulled Seth In his embrace. “You can cry if you want,I don’t mind…you’ve been carrying this pain alone for far too long” Jeff said Softly. That did it,Seth couldn’t hold it In anymore,He started crying in Jeff’s arms. “I thought she loved me!,I really did” Seth said through his tears. Jeff gently rubbed Seth’s back. “I know,I know” Jeff said softly. Seth was full on sobbing now,His tears soaking through the blindfold. It broke Jeff’s heart to See Seth like this,He took the blindfold off Seth. “It hurts so much” Seth said through the sobbing. Jeff kept rubbing Seth’s back gently with sadness in his eyes. Seth started coughing while continuing to sob loudly. “Breathe cutie,Just breathe” Jeff said Softly. “…I can’t…I can’t…” Seth said through the sobbing. Jeff gently puts Seth’s head on his chest where his heart is. “Focus on my heart beat…Let it soothe you” Jeff said softly. Seth listened to Jeff’s heart beat and it steady rhythm. His breath starts to steady as he slowly relaxes. “There you go…I got you” Jeff said softly. Tears stopped rolling down Seth’s face,His eyes were red and puffy from crying. “Feeling better?” Jeff asked softly. Seth silently nodded once,He’s to tired from all the crying to speak. “Get some rest…ok?” Jeff said. “…ok..” Seth said softly before he fell asleep. Jeff gently kissed Seth’s head and then fell asleep
