Camila's POV
"This is the place?" Normani asks.
"Yes," Shawn nods.
We all walk inside and down to the basement but once Shawn steps in the sunlight he yells as his hand burns.
"What's wrong?" I grab his hand as it heals.
"The ancestors are messing with my daylight ring," Shawn says.
"Why?" I ask.
"Cause I'm an Original," Shawn says.
"Here, let me try something," Normani says. She takes a deep breath and looks around. "Ancestors, if you can hear me, please leave Shawn alone. He is here to help me kill the Orginal Hybrid. Let him help me," Normani says.
The wind starts to blow hard but when Shawn puts his hand under the sunlight again, it doesn't burn.
"Thank you, Bennet witches," Shawn says.
We walk down to the basement before we find a clear room. We all spread out some candles in a circle then light them up.
Normani sits in the middle as she takes a deep breath. "Listen to me, my ancestors," Normani whispers.
We start to hear whispers as the fires on the candles around Normani grow brighter and bigger.
"What are they saying, Mani?" I ask.
"Nothing," Normani says.
"Doesn't sound like nothing," I said.
Normani takes a deep breath as the whispers start to get louder until she starts to scream.
"Mani!" I yell.
I try to move towards her but I feel a force pull me down as Shawn himself starts to scream as he clutches his head.
"What the hell?" I said.
Normani's screaming gets louder until the candles blow out and Normani falls on her knees.
I feel the force on me fade away as Shawn slowly gets up to his feet.
"Normani?" Shawn asks.
Normani takes a deep breath as she stands up slowly. "I can... Feel their power," Normani says.
"What were they telling you?" Shawn asks.
"To use my power wisely. They only gave me enough to take down the hybrid," Normani says.
"What about the spell to save Camila's life?" Shawn asks.
"I can channel more but there is only so much power I can consume," Normani says.
"Well now you will need to practice so you can control this new power you have," Shawn says.
"When will we start?" Normani asks.
"Tonight," Shawn answers.
"Why tonight?" I ask.
"Because the full moon is in two days and we need to do this as quick as we can," Shawn says.
Lauren's POV
"How did you find me?" I speak up.
In the shadows, a short figure steps out from behind a tree and into the moonlight. "I need your help," They speak.
"I am guessing about your hunger, correct, Ally?" I raise an eyebrow.
"Yes. I don't want to hurt humans," Ally says.
I take out a knife from my pocket and I slit my wrist. "Here, practice on me," I said.
Ally is suddenly in front of me as she takes my wrist and starts to drink my blood.
I let out a small moan as I grip her hair and pull her closer. "I will tell you when you are going too far because if you do... You will kill the person," I whispered.
Ally presses up against me as the intimacy of the moment builds up.
"Don't tell Camila about this," I said.
"Why?" Ally pulls away from my wrist to look me in the eyes.
"Because vampire blood sharing is something very personal," I said.
"Mhmm," Ally places a hand on my chest. She leans closer as she licks her blood-stained lips clean. "I feel it," Ally whispers.
My breath catches in my throat before I grab Ally and kiss her hard. I take her down to the Horan Mansion dungeon in a blur as I get lost in her body and her moans guide me through the night.
