Chapter 8 Summary: “Death”

Libby

Libby and Nico are discussing the elimination process. When Libby mentions that she broke up with Ezra, Nico claims that he and Libby are inextricably linked, although he resents it. Libby then goes back to her room, but a strange magical phenomenon around her sets her on alert. She starts screaming when an unknown presence grabs her.

Tristan

Tristan and Callum are interrupted by Libby’s scream, so they rush back to the others and find Libby’s room locked. Inside, they find Libby’s dead body. Everyone is shocked and immediately tries to figure out what happened, but Tristan uses his magical sight and realizes that Libby isn’t there. They are seeing an illusion. They agree that Libby must have been abducted, and Callum later points out to Tristan that her scream sounded rageful, suggesting she was betrayed by someone she knows.

Nico

Nico and the others have tried to find Libby for weeks to no avail: they cannot sense her anywhere on earth. Nico consults Gideon, who suggests they should consider searching different dimensions, pointing out a flaw in the house’s magical security that could have been used to take Libby to a different time dimension.
