Would Theo Majestic ever escape the place the Freemans had taken him to?

He resided inside a gray prison cell. Eleven years ago, New Free's warriors had captured him. And no Soynite would liberate him from his prison cell. His latest home.

Theo sat on his bed. A shower, sink, desk, and a chair occupied his cell. So did Strife pieces.

He had gone years without using any of his Saves. The Strife had caused him to visibly age over a period of eleven years.

When Theo looked younger, his former friend had tried taking his life on Soy.

Theo squeezed the black comforter he sat on. The light cloaked him and his red jumpsuit, but it didn't glow against Boris Endman.

Hailey and Vera. They had seen Theo's Strife sword with Boris's.

The enemy's weapon hadn't pierced Hailey, and it hadn't slid into Vera's flesh. Theo had kept his daughter and her Watcher safe from Boris. Yet he hadn't succeeded in stopping Summer Locket from kidnapping his baby. Anne Majestic.

Nick. Nova. Hailey. Anne.

They would never reunite with their father.

Hailey. She had been two years old when Theo fought Boris. Now she was thirteen. But Theo couldn't see her, her siblings, or her mother.

He couldn't see the children he had transformed into Highs. He would never see them again.

He would never reach freedom.
