Melissa McCall was a nurse at the hospital. She had worked there for years and almost everybody knew her. Her hair was black and curly and she smiled almost always. When she came home that night to welcome her daughter back, well, to say she was shocked is a bit underestimated. Scott would never forget the horror he saw on his mother's face when he told her that his sister, her daughter, was kidnapped by a thousand years old killer spirit that had hurt everyone they loved. Even though, they had to continue like nothing was going on. So the next day, Melissa went to the hospital again while Scott and his pack went to school, still trying to find a solution.

Melissa was just on her break when she heard her name being called through the speakers.

'Would Melissa McCall please come to the reception, I repeat, would Melissa McCall please come to the reception.'

She wondered what could have happened so she quickly dropped her lunch and went to the reception. After she turned around the last corner she froze. Right there, in front of the reception.

At the reception stood a girl with long black hair. She wore a leather jacket and dark blue jeans. Her sneakers looked old but Melissa knew that was when she would find it comfortable. Even with her back turned towards her, Melissa recognized her. She could never see her own daughter without recognizing her.

Melissa quickly walked forward. A part of her didn't believe it. 'K-Keylee? Sweetie, is that really you?'

Keylee quickly turned around at hearing her mothers voice. She felt the tears stung behind her eyes and nodded slowly. She gave her mother a soft smile. A bit unsure of what to do, could she hug her? Would her mother trust it, would she trust her?

Melissa gasped and placed her hand over her mouth but soon enough moved forward to embrace her daughter in a strong hug.

'Oh, baby, what happened? How did you get here?'

'Void brought me mom, I don't know why, he said he was being in a good mood or something.'

Melissa looked at her daughter again. She placed her hand on her cheek, it was real, it really was real. 'So he let you go?'

Keylee suddenly looked down while fumbling uncomfortable with her necklace. 'Keylee? What is going on?'

'Well, he- he said I could see you, that I would have fifteen minutes to talk to you but then we would go.'

'Obviously you aren't going to go back right?'

When Melissa noticed Keylee didn't answer she took a firm hold of her shoulders. 'Keylee?'

'I'm sorry mom, I promised. Besides, he could kill everyone if I didn't go back.' Keylee didn't want to go back. She wanted to stay with her mother, in her arms, just feeling safe. Yet she knew she wasn't safe. She was far from safe, she had only 10 minutes left with her mother before she had to go to Void again.

Melissa knew how her daughter could be when she promised something. She wouldn't break it. Yet she also knew she wouldn't let her daughter go again. 'Baby, I'm sorry.'

'What? Why are y-'

Keylee felt a little sting in her neck and stared in disbelieve at her mother. Did she just...

'Go sleep honey, I'll call Scott, you're safe.'

'B-but, n-no, Void, you- he will.. Mom... I.. I'm.. scared....'
