FAITH AND HOPE WERE IN EMMA'S talking about their use of black magic.

"I see you've decided to double down on your nihilism this morning," Emma said.

"I'm trying to be rich with honesty," Hope replied.

"Start from the beginning, Hope," Emma told her.

"Of my short-lived but horrific romances with liars?"

"Of your decision to perform black magic on school grounds last night." Emma corrected taking a glance at Faith.

"What? We were just trying to find the asshole." Faith said shrugging while crossing her arms. Emma gave the girl a look at her use of language. "Sorry." She muttered.

"Maybe we can table this until we catch the guy we were trying to find using black magic." Hope stated. "Because the longer that Landon Kirby is out there, the greater the chance he tells people about this school and the kind of people we have hidden behind the gates." She finished making Faith nod in agreement.

"You know there's a beacon that alerts me when someone's using. You both knew you'd be caught."

"After we found Landon, but we lost the trail and now were being interrogated," Hope stated angrily. "But go ahead take your time. Nothing at stake here."

"Did anyone else help you with the spell?" Emma asked them.

"No." Faith quickly said while sparing a glance at her sister who quickly glanced back. "Can we go now?"

"Faith, Hope. You're students. This isn't your fight."

"It's absolutely my fight, Emma. Landon was inside the walls of this school because of me. He had access to the knife he stole because of me. We're at risk of exposure because of me." Hope admitted.

"Yeah, and he was also inside of this school because of me. This is our fight. If it's Hope's fight that makes it mine as well." Faith stated. "So now we're gonna help Dr. Salzman find him." She said heading for the door and her sister following behind.

"And what happens when you do?" Emma inquired making the girls halt in their tracks for a moment before walking out the door.

The girls walked to their dorm room Hope taking the lead and Faith closing the door behind them. Hope then went under her bed and pulled out a book.

"Hope what're you doing?" Faith asked curiously. She then saw the death spell Hope ripped from the book. "Hope, seriously? I get you're mad at him, so am I, but a death spell?" Faith frowned.

"Faith, come on, chill out. It's only reassurance." Hope said looking at her sister. Faith gave her a look. "Faith, I'm sorry, but please trust me... please?"

"Fine. I trust you, but I hope you know we're probably gonna get in trouble for this." Faith said reluctantly. "I'm saying bye to Lizzie and Josie before we leave." When Faith mentioned Lizzie's name Hope rolled her eyes.

"How can you stand Lizzie? She is such a bitc-—"

"Hope! Don't you dare." Faith warned. Hope just rolled her eyes again. "Bye," Faith said then left.

FAITH WENT TO FIND JOSIE AND LIZZIE and found them walking down the staircase so she followed suit. "Let's hit the dining hall and carb load," Lizzie said to Josie. "It's game day."
