"Oh my God, Natalie." Zara said as she began to cry. "What happened? How long have I been out?" Natalie asked as she slowly stood up. "Awhile, we'll talk more later. You would've died if it wasn't for this girl over here helping me." Zara said with a smile as she pointed over at Gianna. "Hi." Gianna said with a welcoming smile. "Nice to meet you. Where are we exactly?" Natalie asked as she looked all around the lab. "This is gonna be hard to tell you but, this is our new home now. I left my old lab and came here, we're in a house of Fae." Gianna said hoping Natalie wouldn't freak out. "Fae? I haven't heard that name in years. I always hated them." Natalie said with anger. "We're no enemies. We're nothing but a friend to you." Gianna said trying to calm Natalie down. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't be acting like this. Can I just say something? I have a urge for something. I don't know what it is, I feel weak." Natalie said with a confused look on her face. "Maybe you're just hungry. You haven't eaten any actually food in a very long time." Zara said with a small chuckle. "No. It's not that. I feel like I need some kind of energy, this is a weird feeling." Natalie said with a discomforting tone. "Dear God. Natalie, why don't you go and find some newer clothes to wear in my back closet over there, I need to have a chat with Gianna if you don't mind." Zara said with a smile as Natalie agreed and walked into the back room. "What's wrong?" Gianna asked with a puzzled face. "She's a Fae. She's craving energy. Her trip to the afterlife must've brought her back as a Fae, she's been brain dead for years." Gianna said with her hands clenched tight. "I don't think it's that. It must've been the cure we gave her, something must've of triggered something inside of her. I know for a fact she's not a Fae." Gianna said as she felt her neck tighten up. "Then what is she?" Gianna asked with fear in her voice. "I think she's..a Dark Fae." Gianna said with a scared look on her face as her eyes met with Natalie across the room.

As Myra was walking down the steps, she saw Jake waiting for her at the bottom. "Jake." Myra said with a smile as she ran up to him and hugged him tightly. "You know I haven't seen you in forever." He said with a small laugh. "And you never left. Why?" Myra asked. "I care a lot about you, I hope you know that. You dragged my life into this crazy mess, but I'm here to help you with all of it, no matter what it takes. I even went to The Kingdom for you." Jake said. "You what?! Don't you know how dangerous that is to do that? You're lucky he didn't gut you like a fish." Myra said with fear in her eyes. "It was worth the risk, and I tried to get as much information as I could for you, even though it's barely anything. I heard his guards talking about a way to get him un immortal, that's all I heard." Jake explained. "Un immortal? That's good to know it's possible. I hate that man, and I can't wait until I put him into the ground where he belongs for good." Myra said with anger in her voice. "It's risky Myra, sometimes I feel like it's best we don't do it. I don't want you to meet your end like this. It just can't happen." Jake said with a sad tone of voice. "It's not gonna happen like that, especially with the other girls by my side. We could rule the world." Myra said with a smile. "Don't we all have somewhere to go today?" Jake asked. "Damn! That's right, the funeral. I need to get ready, I'll see you there." Myra said as she hugged Jake goodbye.

"Wow, I have to say. I don't know how I feel right now." Natalie said staring at herself in the mirror with Zara behind her. "Do you feel anything at all? The medicine may take it's time to work." Zara said looking at the empty needle in her hands. "I feel my normal self coming back, that's all I feel right now. Why did you give me these fancy, yet dark clothes?" Natalie asked in confusion. "We have a funeral to go to, I'm sorry this is the way you have to start your day here in your new home, but this could be a good way to meet all the girls, and even some of the guys." Zara shrugged as she slipped on black heels. "Wow, this is kinda a depressing time to meet everyone don't you think? Maybe it's best just to stay here." Natalie said with an unsure tone. "No way. You're part of this family now, I want you to be present for this, even if you knew the woman or not." Zara said with a firm tone of voice. "Who died exactly?" Natalie asked as she fixed her black dress in the front. "A girl who lives here, Zoella, her mother passed away a few days ago. We'll get more into it later, but I want you to meet some of the girls before we go." Zara said with a soft smile as she took Natalie's hand.

"This is gonna be a tough day for Zoella girls, make sure you're there to comfort for along the way." Farrah said as she looked at Myra, Danica, and Gianna with a serious look on her face. "We know, we know." Gianna said as she rolled her eyes. "I feel the pain inside her, the house hasn't been the same since this whole thing happened." Danica said with a small frown on her face. The four girls gathered hands and felt the energy within each other. "We won't have time to feed until tomorrow, so this may get us through the day." Farrah said as she closed her eyes tightly. "I'm not sure if it's such a good idea to go 24 hours without feeding Mom, it could turn into a nasty accident." Myra said with fear in her voice. "We all should know by now how to control our hunger, after the funeral, I'm sure we can figure something out." Farrah replied trying to calm Myra down as Zara and Natalie walked into the room. The girls looked at Natalie in amazement at her beauty. "Ladies, I would like you to meet my girlfriend Natalie." Zara said with a smile. "Very nice to meet you, I'm Myra." She said with a smile as they both shook each other's hands. "Look girls, I'm sorry I'm kinda barging in her at a bad time. I just wanted to get to know you all." Natalie said with a warm tone of voice. "Don't worry about it! It's more of a tough time for one of the girls, Zoella, what's most important to us right now is making sure she's okay." Farrah replied back with a smile. "Speaking about Zoella, I better go check on her. I'll see you guys later." Myra said as she rushed up the steps as quickly as she could without tripping on her heels.

Zoella stared at herself in her mirror trying her hardest to hold her tears back. Myra walked into the room slowly. "I'm ready." Zoella said as she stood up from her chair at her vanity. "I knew you would be. This is a tough day, I understand, I know you're gonna be strong." Myra said with a Zoella as she wrapped her arms around Zoella and gave her a tight hug. "It's just unfortunate that I have no one in my family left, she truly was the only one I had." Zoella said trying to fight back the tears. "Zoella, we're your family now, and I promise it's gonna stay that way." Myra said as she looked into Zoella's big light blue eyes. "And I'm grateful for that, so grateful." Zoella replied as a tear ran down her face. "Wait, don't cry! You don't wanna ruin your eyeliner." Myra said with a laugh as she handed Zoella a tissue. Zoella replied with a laugh, they both locked hands and walked down the steps and were greeted by the all the girls, with Jake, Brandon, and Carter standing behind them. "I'm ready now." Zoella said with a forced smile as they all walked out of the house.

Everyone gathered at the private cemetery for Emerson. The hole was dug out by Brandon, and her coffin was on a sitting on top of a big metal plate above the dirt. "Before we wrap this up, I just wanna thank you all for being here for me through this rough time, and I wanna thank you all for your help in making this burial as proper for my mother as she would want it to be for me. I'm so proud and glad to call you guys my family, especially the woman who believed in me since day one, Myra. I don't want to make this all about myself, but you all truly have a special place in my heart and always will." Zoella said as she began to cry. "It's okay." Myra whispered as she squeezed her hand tightly. "As you all didn't know my mother well, and sadly you had to meet her at such an awful time, it just goes to show how we can't take things for granted. A simple accident trying to help us, caused her to meet her death in such a unfortunate way, but if it wasn't for her love and bravery, Myra and I wouldn't be standing here right now." Zoella said with a proud smile as she stared down at the coffin. "She will always be remembered." Farrah added with a smile. "I just want you all to know her for the woman that she is, my hero. I love you mom." Zoella said as she pulled a lever and the coffin slowly lowered into the ground. Everyone had a moment of silence as rain began to poor down on top of them. As they all slowly began to leave, the funeral director opened the car door for Zoella. As the car began to drive away, she slowly watched the ghost of her mother standing there watching her from the distance in the pouring rain.
