"The human touch is that little snippet of physical affection that brings a bit of comfort, support, and kindness. It doesn't take much from the one who gives it, but can make a huge difference in the one who receives it."

Evening

"I don't understand why this locator spell won't work. This is the 3rd one I've done," Freya griped.

"Sister, maybe you have been exhausting yourself is why," Elijah stated.

"Perhaps. Between Penny's nightmares, my visions or whatever they are, and looking for Erik, I do feel worn out. I just don't know why it's not working. I've even had Bonnie try with no success," Freya conceded. Freya had dark circles under her eyes. Her blond hair was back in a messy bun and she was jumpy from too much coffee.

"We have some time. Marcellus is searching New Orleans and the full moon isn't until the 19th of January, that is, assuming that the Guerreras haven't figured out how to turn at will. I swear I thought we wiped out those thugs in the 1920s...," Elijah fumed.

"But then I would never have been born, right, Uncle Elijah?" Penny said coming from the hallway.

Elijah froze, he should have heard the girl coming. Elijah wasn't used to people surprising him.

"Penelope, I am sorry. I didn't mean it like that. We're just concerned with your brother and his safety," Elijah apologized.

"Erik? I don't think you need to be worried about him," Penny intoned.

Freya frowned, "Should we be worried about Connor instead? Penny, is there anything you need to tell us?"

"No, nothing," Penny said.

"Can I get your something to eat?" Freya asked.

"Just blood, please," Penny said innocently.

Freya got her a glass of blood and handed it to her.

Since the night Penny picked up on her memories from the past, Freya had stayed with her every night. More painful visions from Freya's life were surfacing from her life with Dahlia and Penny was having nightmares. But Freya was afraid to leave the little girl alone.

She would try another locator spell, maybe the next one would work.

"Dude, why does your family still have this building? I mean, wouldn't it make more sense to sell it or rent it out?" Matt asked.

"Yeah, it would. I guess Jenna wanted to sell it, but since it was in my dad's family, she can't without permission from my Uncle John," Jeremy said slipping the key from the lock.
