11 parts Complete MatureWhen Rio joined Agatha on the witches' road, she wasn't scared. If anything, she was cocky. The idea of walking the witches' road with her wife again felt like an adventure-an opportunity to be by Agatha's side, even if Agatha clearly didn't want her there. Rio thought it would be fun, familiar, despite the trials ahead. She had convinced herself nothing could touch her.

Rio found herself standing on the porch of the only home she had ever known-the home she shared with Agatha and their son, Nicholas.

It wasn't a monster or some forgotten villain.
