Also, spot my references.

Chapter 1:
Mystic finds herself down in the catacombs of what she is soon informed of is Paris. She meets up with Penelope Dowry, an agent of the Society Against Evil, hiding in order to keep herself from being turned into a serial hypnotist and entrancing Chala. She tells Mystic about the Cursed God's "honeymoon suite" down in these catacombs, including a glass case by the bed fit to her measurements. She agrees to take Mystic to it, as the Cursed God had left, in exchange for a snippet of her singing.

Chapter 2:
The two of them arrive to find that there's a stunning resemblance to the Phantom's Lair from ''The Phantom of the Opera. ''When Penelope takes her into the honeymoon suite, Mystic's horrified to discover that Penelope was telling the truth about the glass case. Along with that, she finds a shrine, various pictures, portraits, and works of poetry, as well as samples of her, including her own blood and hair. Soon they hear the Cursed God return and they hide under the bed. To her horror, the Cursed God notices that the key to the shrine closet has been moved and deduces that Mystic is here.

Chapter 3:
Mystic and Penelope hide under the bed while the Cursed God searches for the former of the two. Once he finds them, they try to escape but he shuts and locks the bedroom door. Penelope tries to defend Mystic, but is turned into a mouse by the Cursed God. To save her from being killed, Mystic claims she'll do anything and the Cursed God gives her the proposal, which she reluctantly agrees to. The chapter ends with her falling asleep in the glass case.

Chapter 4:
Mystic awakens to find that this isn't a bad dream. She is then startled by Safiya who has arrived there to live with her and the Cursed God along with Matt and Rosanna, as this is one of the things the Cursed God promised her in exchange for her hand in marriage. Safiya claims that she can't let her out and even if she could, she won't let her out until she admits she's adorable. Soon Liza, Gabbie, and Andrea enter along with the key, given to them by the Cursed God. After a lot of debate, they force Mystic to look in a mirror when the Cursed God comes in and tries to convince her of her beauty. The chapter ends with him taking her somewhere to spend some time with him.
