When I arrived home I went straight to the compound, everything was already decorated to perfection for Christmas but it was empty. I was a little disappointed since everyone knew I was arriving today. Rey was here though, she let me know that Lijah went to retrieve Bekah, Hail went to the bayou, and Nikky and Cam had gone somewhere urgently. Nonetheless, I hugged Rey to myself, telling each other how much we missed the other. She had a meeting with a witch to discuss the serratura, the object that The Strix was after to use against our family. I went with her and once we were finished we had walked back to the car, not knowing we had passed Jax. She scolded me for my attire since it was cold here and I wasn't wearing much but I told her I was fine and continued to laugh with her. We had parked in a little alleyway so walking up to the car we felt a presence behind us so Rey had spoken up first, "I'll warn you. I'm armed." She whipped around and broke his neck using her magic but without realizing there was another behind us who grabbed my arm and broke it enticing a scream to fall from my lips and throw me against the trash bin. Rey tried to use her magic too but she was thrown at the trash bin alongside me, disorienting her. The man had grabbed me from my throat and began to choke me, not fully recovered from the last time it was painful and all I could focus on was the pain. I faintly heard the man speak to Rey, "Give me the serratura, or I'll snap her neck," I shook my head the best I could, "Rey...N..No!" He squeezed tighter making me claw at his hand around my throat as I made strangling noises since I couldn't breathe. Panicking Rey pulled the serratura out of her pocket and threw it at another Strix member who showed up. Once he caught it he sped to Rey and punched her as well, causing her to drop to the floor, disoriented again. The Strix vampire who had ahold of me had punched me in the side of the neck making me drop to the floor unconscious.

Once I was awake Rey told me that Jax had run up with an ax and swung it at the vampire who hurt me, chopping his head off while the one who had the serratura got away. He picked me up and with Rey brought me back to the compound. After telling him a much grateful thank you and hugging him since I missed him Jax had called Hail over to heal us up. First was Rey and then me since I had a broken arm and another bruise on my neck. Rey told Hail the witch we met had told us the only thing we could do to get rid of the serratura was to trap something else with it. Hail made a joke to visit Tristan, one I seconded, but Lijah had walked in, "I'm afraid we have a far more urgent problem..." Hearing a familiar voice who walked in, "Well, to be fair, I am the prettiest urgent problem you have ever seen." Without hesitation, I ran to her who already had her arms open, and jumped into them, "Oh how I've missed you Bekah." We all sat together to discuss what happened to Bekah. She was stabbed with Aya's stake, it was cursed and infected Bekah who will go mad the more the mark on her wrist grows. All while this was happening I was crouching in front of Hope's stroller, playing with her hands. I sighed and stood up but when I did I felt something build up in my throat. No longer able to hold it I opened my mouth and let it spill onto the ground only to realize, it's my blood. I raised my head to see everyone who was just sitting now standing and staring at me with horrified expressions on their faces, "How lovely..." Before I knew it the world started to spin and as I was tilting backward Lijah sped over to me and caught me before I fell, only for me to lose consciousness for the second time that day.
