Mary, Jake's mother, had gone berserk after receiving his son's severed head. The whole forest heard her shrieking agony. They sent all the children back to their respective homes. And every adult of the pack gathered in the cottage. Mary's sister took her to one of the cottages, separate from her son's mutilated head. They could still hear her crying. Matt took Jake's head inside the main cottage. They wanted to give her a proper burial, but not without the body. "Can she trace it?" Leo asked Aria after she said that Lizzie could trace objects. She traced the sender of the video before. "So, she's a witch," Matt said. Aria nodded slightly. Though, she isn't sure if Lizzie would be okay if people knew she's a witch. But she trusted Leo and Matt. Matt was pacing back and forth in the room. He was worried sick for Nora. They were right when her scent led them to Crescent Hills. "Probably, his body would still be inside tha

Aria immediately went to her car with Cassie behind her. Lizzie tried to run after them, but the people's focused turned to her as she was called Lady of The Night. She walked to the stage, took the crown, waved, and smiled, despite thinking of her two best friends. "Wait, Aria, are you sure about this? Because I admit at first, I was willing to go with you since they thought I am in their side, but seeing Frank there, was not good," Cassie said. "I am sure of this, Cassie. I will show those monsters who they are underestimating," Aria said fiercely. She quickly hopped on the driver's seat, cursing at the gown she was wearing for getting on the way. "I should not have worn this. I should not have attended this in the first place. I have a lot to worry about," she said. "Aria, we have to be rational. How sure are we that Frank did not hear any of our conversations? I thought Raymond sent him somewhere

"I told you to wait!" Matt said. He slammed the door of the car and pedaled on the gas.  The vehicle's engine roared as its tires wheeled against the concrete road and left the vampires with nothing but dust. "Do you think a piece of jewelry with a piece of herb hidden on it would be able to stop them from attacking you?!" Aria did not like the way he spoke to her, but she kept her lips tightly closed. She knows Matt was right. She knows what she did was an impulsive decision that almost cost her not just her own life but her friends as well. "Why is it not working?" Cassie asked as she tried to bite herself and let Lizzie drink some of her blood. "It should be working. It worked with Jerome," she said. Cassie's blood was all over Lizzie's mouth, her dress drenched in her blood, and her eyes were barely open. Aria held her cold and feeble hand tightly as Matt disregarded the speed limit to go to

Lizzie slightly opened her eyes as it adjusted to the brightness of the room. She removed her blanket and tried to feel the wound she had last night. It still stings, but it was not as painful as it was before. Mrs. France fell asleep beside her bed, holding her hand, but she woke up as soon as she felt Lizzie move. "How are you, sweetie?" Mrs. France asked. She inspected Lizzie's bandage to be sure that it was still attached properly. "I'm okay, just...what is this bitter thing in my mouth?" she grimaced. "That's the medicine I gave you," Mrs. France said. She stood up and poured a glass of orange into a small cup. "Here, drink this. It can take away the bitterness," she said. Lizzie sipped slowly from the cup when she realized her mother was staring at her. She immediately gulped the drink and asked for one more, which Mrs. France gave right away, but her disappointed look did

 Matt's eyes widened as he took a step back, mouth gaping in disbelief as he stared at the horror in front of him. His brother was staring at him with empty eyes, blood all over his chest, and his still-beating heart not far from where he was lying - lifeless. Beside him lays Aria. Eyes shut tight, her hands a few inches from Leo's hand, and a dagger embedded in her chest. But his horror turned to confusion as he saw Leo and Aria standing by his side alive and well, though they have the same horror-stricken expression plastered on their faces. "What the hell? Mom! Dad!" Aria screamed as she rushed to where Matt could see his brother and Aria's dead body. "What the hell is going on?" Leo asked. "Calm down. We need to calm down," Mrs. France said. Ironically, she, herself, couldn't calm down. But she had stopped screaming and finally understood the situation.&n
