*The Underworld*
"It's amazing how everything is coming together master! Even though they are getting stronger I must say this will be a perfect opportunity to attack, their whitelighter is missing, the oldest is out of town, and they went back to their regular human routines." An anonymous minion exclaimed.

"I suppose you're right but, that damn elder survived the fire which means someone didn't do their job correctly which means the girls are getting closer to their mother's death!" The hooded man said as he crushed a skull in his hand. "We're never gonna get to the ocnic if we keep moving at this route then the source will have the both of our heads!" The hooded man said getting angrier.

"I have Simone trying to persuade the one they call Gabby but, the chemistry isn't building up, maybe we should kick things up a notch!" The anonymous minion suggested.

"Well by your reports, I feel like even with all the spells and potions in the world wouldn't work on this one we'll just have to be smarter and let things unfold naturally!" The hooded man suggested himself.

"There is one thing though!" The anonymous minion said. "One of the sisters casted a house protection spell and none of my minions were able to get back in since!"

"Well I guess I can't be too mad let's just take advantage of the fact that the eldest is alone without the book and without her sisters!" The hooded man replied to his minion.

Kristal's POV
It's really a bittersweet feeling coming back to North Carolina.

I have to confront my husband without actually comforting him then now being a witch, anything could happen.

As I'm laying next to my husband in bed reading a book about cosmetology.

"Why don't your work at the hairdresser shop anymore?!" Dee asked me.

I simply roll my eyes because he knows exactly why I don't work there anymore.

I was being stupid and all caught up in love because I let Dee get into my head saying I don't need them they need me and I lost close friends at the shop then, as I became unemployed Dee had me working for him day and night doing any and everything he asked for and it took me awhile to realize I'm just not happy.

"How you wit your sisters been since, you know? The news." Dee asked trying to be concerned but something tells me he just didn't care.

"We've actually became closer than ever, our uncle Frank has been helping us through the crisis so it wouldn't feel as painful as it normally should." I say sighing flipping a page in my book.

"What you reading?" Dee asked me as I was reluctant in answering.

I was planning on ignoring him but, I didn't know what to change the subject with until it clicked. "Random but, if were to get a tattoo where would it be and where would you get it?" I ask hoping I'm onto something, something like getting closer to mama's killer.

"Now you know how I feel about tattoos." He said with a slight chuckle.

"I know how you feel but, I'm just asking if you were to get anything, what would it be and why?" I start to apply more pressure on the question because he didn't answer the first time.

"This can't be no random question Red, cause you wouldn't be this adamant about it." Dee said as fixed his posture to look me in the face.

"Oh my God, can you just answer the question?" I asked frustrated.

"I don't know what you yelling for, is there something you're not telling me?" Dee said as he was getting confused.

"Nevermind don't even worry about it!" I say as I close my book and aggressively get out the bed and slip my slippers on.
