"A Seer?!"

"No fucking way!"

That seems to be the reaction Sierra gets from everybody now once she tells them what she is. She, Claudia, Josephine, and the triplets were all gathered around at the small table in the center of the living room as they sat on the floor. Claudia was helping Josephine set up the  table while the four teens conversed amongst themselves.

"So," Sierra said as the read-headed triplets stared at her with wide eyes and mouths. "Triplets, huh?" Kind of a random topic, but Sierra just wanted the attention off of her.

Her methods worked since Jonah shook out of whatever trance she was in and smacked the two boys lightly on the head, causing them to do the same.

"Yeah," Jonah confirmed, laughing a little bit. "Tracker witches are always born in groups of three. Kind of like a fucking litter."

"Language," Josephine scolded without taking her eyes off of the crystals she was carefully placing on the table.

Jonah rolled her eyes discretely. "Sorry, Jo."

Sierra furrowed her eyebrows. "You call your mom by her first name?" She asked, confused and a tiny bit curious.

The triplets laughed as Josephine chuckled to herself, focusing on her task.

"Her? Our mom?" Josiah cracked up even more, falling backwards onto the floor.

"She can barely take care of a few plants and she's gonna raise us." Jonah said, gesturing to the older red-headed witch who sent a glare her way.

"I kind of did." She said before turning her attention to a blushing Sierra. "I'm their sister. Our parents are with Maggie and Patrick somewhere in Switzerland."

"Oh?" Sierra said. "Wait- who's Maggie and Patrick?"

"They're Billie and Finneas' parents. The Former leaders of the pack." Jonathan answered with a nod.

Before anybody said anything else, Josephine clapped her hands once before looking at everyone in the room. "Everything is set. Guys, would you mind?" Jo sent Claudia and Sierra an apologetic smile, silently asking them to scoot backwards.

They did as they were told, allowing Josiah and Jonathan to replace them on their seat. From another perspective, you could see that it was Jonah and Josiah sitting across from each other, leaving Josephine and Jonathan to sit across from each other.

"Grab hands." Jo instructed, holding out her hand to her sister and brother beside her.

Sierra and Claudia watched on as the Tracker witches started to chant an incantation in another language.

The blonde-haired girl observed what was on the table. Now, she saw a map in the center, four crystals, and a few lit candles.

Then, when the chanting stopped, Sierra watched as Jonathan took out something from a small pouch. From the looks of it, it was a tuft of hair or fur. She furrowed her eyebrows, watching as the boy held it over one of the candles and mumbled something in another language.

"What are they doing?" Sierra whispered to Claudia who bent down to hear the young hairline better.

"When we were inspecting the dead bodies in the infirmary, Evie found a few werewolf fur that was probably ripped out, or fallen. Finneas wanted instructed Josephine to use it to find out were the Valerians are. The crystals on the map act as North, South, East, and West. If their target is on the move from either direction, that crystal will light up."

Sierra nodded as she listened and watched in unison as the brown clump of fur disintegrated in a cloud of unusual green smoke. Immediately, all the candle flames grew taller as the map started glowing.
