When Rosalyn woke up that day, she hoped to have a completely calm one. All she wanted was to be next to Penelope, talk to her friends, and catch a breath from all the things that were going on. But there was no way it could happen.

It was nine past twelve when she opened her eyes, the sound of a hand banging the door was the only sound it could be heard besides Penelope's breathe. The syphoner got up from the bed, and walked to the door, hoping that whatever it was, could just go away and let her sleep a little more.

She had barely slept that night. She still had in mind all that happened with Carter. In those hours she spent with him on Fincastle, he was a different guy, like the sweet guy she met never existed. And, in Rosalyn's mind, she started to believe that he never loved her at all.

When she opened the door, she found Alaric on the other side, distressed and looked like he saw a ghost.

-¿Alaric? ¿What's going on? -she asked, starting to worried as he didn't say anything first-

-Something happened with Carter, and we are searching for the one who made it. Is Penelope there?

She frowned, instantly knowing what was going on.

-She's been here with me all night, and when I say all night, I really mean it. She's not guilty of whatever happened to Carter. He might do it himself. -she answered lowering her voice, trying to not wake Penelope up-

-He's dead, Rosalyn. Someone killed him, and we are searching for the one who did it. And no, I'm not accusing her or you, I wanted to make sure that everyone is alright. -He instantly matched the tone of Rosalyn's voice-

It was then when the door opened a little more, and the hazel-eyed witch joined the conversation.

-Why wouldn't we be alright? -She inquired-

-The way he was killed... Someone broke his neck. It was either a vampire, or a really powerful witch with enhanced abilities.

-Wait, are we able to do that? -Rosalyn asked.

-Yes, we can, but it's not the point, why it would have something to do with us?

-Because as far as he said, he was working with another witch, one who would link Rosalyn with Carter during the transition. And we fear that witch came seeking revenge.

-And what is going to happen to Carter's body?

-His father is coming for him, don't worry about it. We are doing something anyway, I hope you don't mind.

-No, he was a student, and even though he wasn't the best, even the worst people deserve a funeral and such. I'll go.

Then, both Alaric and Penelope looked at her, both surprised and concerned about it.
