Seylah

Having graduated High School at age 14, the Donovan's were ecstatic that Tori found a friend the same age. In September 2005, Tori began taking classes at Whittemore College. Purposely, she set her schedule to match Hayley’s, who was only in 8th grade. With Alice and Tori’s help, Hayley was able to catch up with her peers despite months of being truant.

When Hayley began High School the following year, she thankfully had an ally waiting for her there. Gia had not only skipped 1st and 2nd grade, but also 5th. So at the age of 12, she was a Junior in High School. Wanting to be closer to her ward, Alice spent the year taking classes to earn a degree in upper education. In fall 2007, as Hayley entered 10th grade and Gia entered 12th, Alice became a High School English teacher. Life was pleasantly mundane.

Having joined the Volleyball Team, Hayley and Alice were at the school quite late on a random March evening. It had rained that day, so practice took place inside the school gym. As they were leaving the building the sun was setting, and with limited vision Alice stumbled into a puddle. Thankfully, Hayley caught her as she was abruptly thrown into a vision.

It had been several years since she'd seen the face, but her subconscious informed her that the woman’s name was Seylah. That this woman was important and in danger. She stood beside a primordial like ooze of a puddle. ‘Malivore’ rang through her head, turning into a piercing headache.

As the brief vision subsided, Hayley helped her stand straight.
“Are you okay? Do you need me to drive us home?” Hayley asked with concern. Unable to fight the throbbing pain, Alice nodded her head in response.

When they arrived home, Alice clutched a pillow on the couch as she contemplated what to do about her vision. As Hayley handed her a bottle of Ibuprofen, the decision clicked in her mind. She would hack Triad Industries to find Seylah, and perform the blood bonding tracking spell on her. Landon deserved to be born, but Seylah shouldn't have to raise a child that was forced into her. In three years, when Landon is born, Alice will find him a loving home. 

With the thought of Landon’s future being changed, she realized this would leave Rafael at a disadvantage. If she looked after Landon, she'd need to look after Rafael as well. So along with Seylah, Alice would need to find and spell Lucia.

Finding Seylah was the easy part. As she cloaked her IP address, she accessed the Triad Industries servers and obtained Seylah’s home address. During Spring Break, Alice left Hayley home alone and drove 10 hours south to Georgia.

Unable to think of something convincing to say, Alice knocked on the door and immediately spelled Seylah to sleep as she opened it. After gently placing her on her recliner, Alice cut into both of their palms, mixed their blood together, and spoke the words.
“Quo cruore noto. Cum in dolore, cum in periculo, cum appropias, hoc signum cum lucebis.”
And just like that, they were bound. Alice healed their palms and drove home.

For the rest of the year, Alice sought Lucia. Unfortunately, the only information she had was that she served in the Afghanistan War and was married to a man named Walt. It took nine months of research to finally track her down. She had just enlisted and was at a training camp in Petersburg. During Winter Break, she traveled to the camp and waited for two days to find an opening. Alice followed Lucia and her friends to an Army bar a couple miles away.

With slight hesitation, Alice sat next to Lucia and ordered a Vodka Tonic. As Lucia stood with her own drink, about to walk away, Alice knocked into her, spelling Lucia’s drink to shatter on the ground.

“Oh my God! I'm so sorry!” Alice feigned remorse as she bent down to pick up the shards.
“No, it's okay.” Lucia spoke as she followed suit.
With both of them holding shards, Alice cut into her palm beside Seylah’s mark and willed Lucia’s hand to be sliced as well.
“Oh no!” Alice shouted as she brushed the shards away from Lucia’s palm and mixed their blood together. She whispered the spell before quickly grabbing a napkin off the counter and pressing it into Lucia’s wound.
“Again, it's okay. Thanks, but I'm just going to go wash my hands now.” Lucia spoke before stepping back and waking towards the restroom.
With subtle haste, Alice payed her tab and left the bar. That night she drove home with hope that the future would turn out brightly. But with 5 months to go until The Gilbert’s car crash, there wouldn't be much time before more forces would come to threaten her plans.
