A/N: Not edited. Also if you enjoy the chapter please take a second to hit that lovely star/vote <3 seriously it means so much to me. 

Adelina watched Folke walk away as feelings of guilt and anger began to well up inside her chest. How could she already be feeling for someone after all that had happened?

"I'm a horrible person," Adelina murmured to herself. "My sister is dead, my family is god knows where, Daniel is gone and not to mention Asmund and here I am letting myself get swept up in my feelings."

Picking her body up from where she sat she made her way back to the house. The house was quiet as she entered. Adelina made her way to the kitchen grabbing some fruit and making her way to a seat next to the window. Resting her head there she let the thoughts settle into her head once more.

"I can't let guilt eat away at me. I have to remain strong." She settled.

"I agree," Madeline's voice drifted into the kitchen, startling Adelina. "Sorry I didn't mean to easedrop. I just got home and heard you in here." Madelina stated walking up to where Adelina rested. She pulled up a seat beside Adelina.

"No it's okay. I'm still just a bit jumpy. Folke startled me earlier too."

"You talked to Folke?" Madeline's eyebrows raised.

"Oh yeah, I guess I should have mentioned that. Yesterday I met him by the waterfall. Seems he keeps popping up randomly."

"He usually isn't very talkative so I am shocked. He likes to keep to himself unless it comes to Aaron. Him and Aaron are pretty close."

"Oh..Well he offered to train me a bit. I was going to ask Aaron about it tonight. I thought maybe it would be good for me to learn to defend myself a bit. Plus, he said maybe he'd try to help me understand a bit more about this power I can feel building inside of me. I need some answers."

"I don't see why Aaron would disagree and personally I think it is a great idea." Madeline stated.
"Why don't we get dinner ready and we can both discuss this with Aaron when he gets home.

Adelina nodded as they made their way to the fridge and began pulling things out. Moments later the door opened and was slammed shut. Aaron fist were clenched as he came storming into the kitchen.

"What's wrong?" Madeline questioned.

Aaron's face relaxed as he saw Madeline and Adelina.

"Now is not the time," His eyes shifted to Adelina.

"Is it about my parents? Please don't leave me in the dark." Adelina protested.

"I don't know that now is the time Adelina, but yes it is."

"Yes it is the time." Adelina stared directly into Aarons eyes, not backing down.

Aaron sighed. "I know you deserve to know, but I just didn't want to trouble you with this. You've been through so much.

"I'll be okay, Aaron. I just want to know."

Aaron ran a hand through his shaggy blonde hair. "It's the compound. The vampires and demons have moved and taken your family with them. I guess the compound was unsalvageable after the damage. We are trying to find them but the trail has been impossible to pick up. We won't stop looking, though. I promise you that Adelina. I have my best men on it right now and we are also trying to recruit some humans and witches to help us look. We will get the word out and we will do our best to find them."
