After our time at the beach, we made our way back to Anaheim Hills. Before Elijah jolted me awake with a sudden wake-up call, I had fallen asleep in the car. It was then that I noticed we were in the tunnels. Before I got out of the car and went inside, I checked my phone and noticed that everyone in the pack had sent me a text message. In essence, they were informing me that today was the night that everything went to hell and that they had discovered who the Brute was. It was Cole, which was a complete surprise, given that he was not even a chimera. I responded to all of them via text message and informed them that I would be at Oliver's house the following morning.

Through the tunnels, we made our way through the corridors until we located the operating theater once more, at which point we entered it. While Josh was admiring the mask that was resting on the table, I noticed that Jessey was standing by the back of the room. Noah was still sitting in the same spot as he had been a couple of days previously.

At this moment, I am standing next to Elijah. In the midst of the temptation to put on the mask, Josh's eyes begin to fill with worry.

Elijah adds in a low voice, "Yeah," and I shake my head, praying that this young person decided not to do it. The mask appeared to be terrifying, and it appeared for all intents and purposes that it might kill you.

Jessey says, "You won't die if you put it on," while casting a glance in Elijah's direction. During the time that jealousy was raging through my body, I scowled my eyes at her. While Elijah was looking back at Josh, I moved closer to her and leaned in closer.

Anxiety is audible in his voice as he asks, "How do you know that? Or is it just that you don't want to put it on yourself?" He is expressing his concern.

"Or you?" Josh says, looking squarely at Elijah and focusing his remarks on him as he continues to gaze at him.

"I'm not afraid to do it, Josh. I'm just not stupid," Elijah says in response, and I scoff a little bit as Elijah throws his arm around my waist. "I'm just the opposite of stupid."

In response to Jessey's statement, "Are you not getting that it could kill us? You're the one with the power," I roll my eyes at her and hope that she just puts the darn thing on so that it puts an end to her babbling.

As Noah suggests, "They want you to wear it, Josh, because the properties of the mask are based on electromagnetism. Pick it up, and you'll see what I mean."

As Josh turns around, takes up the mask, and then turns back to face us, you can hear the electricity emanating from it. He stares down at it with a worried expression on his face.

What exactly is this thing?" Josh inquires while continuing to glance down at it.

It is a product of both genius and insanity. Too frequently, two characteristics can be found in the same thinking. The man who created the first was known only as 'The Surgeon.' Using practices in the farthest edges of pseudoscience, he harnesses electromagnetic fields in the masks, infusing them with a unique and deadly power." Noah explains as I notice Josh hold up the mask, about to put it on, until he suddenly stops and puts it down.

The thing is not going to be placed on by me. Do you wish to be informed about who it is? "You should do it yourself," Josh says as he walks over to the side and crosses his arms. I smile at him as he does that and choose not to melt his head off with the silly mask.

I congratulate myself and say, "Good job, kid." Jessey gives me a sneer, and Elijah gives me a look.

"What is it? While I am gazing around, I add, "I seriously did not want to see this kid's head melt off because of a damn stupid mask that some crazed scientist decided to build." I notice that Josh is smiling slightly while Elijah is rolling his eyes and tightening his grip around my waist. Jessey scoffs and turns around.

After remaining there for some time, Elijah and I made the decision to eventually leave and travel back to my loft. The majority of the time, the vehicle ride was devoid of conversation because I was exhausted and eager to get back home.

I instantly go and lie down on my bed as I hear Elijah chuckle from where the couch is located. We get back to the loft together, and we both walk in together.

"What is it?" I inquire, just a little bit, getting up.

"Not a thing. It is my sincere regret that we had to rush to get there. While he is lying next to me after removing his jacket, he comments, "It's not exactly how I wanted to spend the last couple of hours of our date night."

"Don't worry about it. It was funny witnessing a youngster about to melt his brain." I laugh slightly, and he does, too. I got up to get dressed in cozy clothes while Elijah did the same thing. We both climbed into bed at the same time. I placed my head down on his chest as he started slowly stroking my hair.

"I hope you had a good time today, princess," he whispers to me as he applies a gentle kiss to my head.

I mutter, "I did," before allowing my eyes to close and allowing the darkness to take over.
