The Guard
They welcome me to a place designed to dismantle everything I believe. A place where freedom is a fading memory, and the last three years of my struggle mean nothing.
They lock me up.
This isn’t just any psychiatric clinic—it’s a prison for the rough cases. And I’m one of its thirteen inmates.
My mother calls it treatment. I call it betrayal.
I fought for my freedom and made peace with my past. Now, I have neither, trapped in a facility that pulses with wrongness. They say it’s my disease playing tricks on me. Maybe they’re right.
Or maybe something far darker lurks within this clinic, buried deep in the woods.
And then there’s him. The nurse. My guard. My lifeline. He says he’s here to help, but every soothing word feels like a manipulation. His kindness coils around me, whispering that I’m safe—but what if it’s all a lie?
They welcome me to a place where my sanity is at stake. Or maybe even my very life.
Seventeen-year-old Seph White finds herself committed to a psychiatric facility—a place that now holds her future in its grip, forcing her to face uncomfortable truths while searching for hidden ones.

The Other Side has us now.
They’ve dragged us into their world—a realm beyond anything I ever imagined. Strange. Daunting. Dangerously alluring.
But none of it matters. All I care about is getting out. Getting back to John. Getting back to Earth.
We’re prisoners here. Not the cold bunker we left behind, but a prison nonetheless.
Just like the clinic.
I know John and Octavia weren’t innocent—they used us, hurt us. But only Charon, the Ferryman, can lead us home. He’s the only one who can guide us out of this war. Out of the Underworld. Out of Hell itself.
I’m ready to fight for our freedom, but the others aren’t so sure. Sylvia is slipping. I see it in her eyes—the way this strange, magical place is pulling her in, pulling her away from me. The fragile bond we share is fraying, and I’m terrified of losing her.
But there’s no time for fear. I have to stay strong. For her. For all of us.
Even if it means standing against him.
The one who killed my father.
Hades himself.
