Unexpected events

Cassian nodded with a soft smile as she explained how it had been, since the family had been made whole again. Sometimes, people had just meat on the wrong time in their life, that didn’t mean that they weren’t right for each other. Or something had happened, that made them have to part ways for a time. He truly hoped that they figured it out, even if didn’t turn out romantically, he had always rather liked Austin. Specially to see someone that had used to be their enemy, suddenly had turned on a leaf and know saw the error in his ways. Besides it was rather fascinating to talk to someone that had almost been alive since the creation of earth. He placed a comforting hand on her shoulder, “And we’ll make that happen” he said with a comforting smile, because he knew that they would succeed this time. Then things could start to go back to normal. Or, somewhat normal, because nothing was really the same after you had different kind of traumas in your backpack. You just learned to live above them. He looked up the stairs as he heard Daisy move around, he gave Primrose’s shoulder a small squeeze “I’ll be back down in a minute, I’ll just check up on Daisy” he informed, before he turned up and walked upstairs. He knocked on the door and walked inside. He gave her a soft smile, before he quietly walked over and sat down beside her on the bed. At first, he let an arm glide over her shoulders, leaning in giving her a soft kiss against her temple. Before he finally pulled her into his embrace.

Primrose nodded to Cassian, and gave him a small smile as he mentioned he would check up on Daisy. And then returned to check her own phone before looking a little bit at the files again, and looked shortly at how the spell was coming up as well.
Daisy looked up to the small knock on the door, then smiled a little as Cassian walked in. She took a deeper breath in and exhaled once again as he sat down beside her. Her eyes closed as she felt his arm around her shoulders, and the kiss against her temple, before falling into his embrace. "I just needed to breath a little," she mumbled and exhaled. All that repressed anger building up in her waiting to burst was a lot, the frustration of it all just returning to surface. But she also knew that it wouldn't change till Maggie no longer was an issue. A person who could come back to take and take from her. First time was already bad enough, but now that she knew that Maggie had tried to get her hands on Katelyn too. There was no way she would ever let her come close to trying a third time. Also mixing her energies and Vidar's in the same room was just like making a bomb and waiting for it to explode. "I'm just frustrated and angry," she confessed in a lower voice, not that anyone could blame her.

He let out a small hum, to let her know that he understood. Because he did, especially the part of being frustrated and angry. He almost wished that he didn’t understand it as well as he did. He had met that feeling so many times, that he had lost count at this point. With everything that had happened lately, it was hard not to fall into the same routine of just being angry all the time. It was such an easy emotion, it clouded so many others that you didn’t dare to feel. If it hadn’t been because he had Daisy in his life, and her children. He was quite sure that he would be back at his old cabin, drinking and doing God knew what to make the pain go away.
“You’ll find peace again” he said with a soft smile on his lips, pressing his nose against her temple. “and you get anything done, when you first set your mind to it, my fierce beautiful woman” he mumbled, letting his hand find her jaw and turned it towards him so he could place a soft and comforting kiss against her lips.

Daisy took a deeper breath in, letting out a small hum of agreement. Well, this time she actually believed it, there was the thing with Vidar and him being unable to find peace, and as hopeful as he looked his 'peace was never an option' belief was toxic, and very easy to believe when things turned to shit. But since she had gotten Katelyn, she had found her peace there, if you didn't add to the half year of worry that hadn't helped Daisy's anxiety and past traumas, till her and Nigel had found it the reason why Katelyn was so tired in autumn and winter was because of the nature - but the years up to discovering that that been nerve wrecking. Daisy chuckled lowly by his mumble letting him turn her jaw towards him, and returned the kiss she was given. "We will find peace together," she whispered against his lips before leaning to kiss him once again. They both deserved that, some peace and to get the life together that they wanted. One step at the time, taking care of Maggie was one of the steps. "I have told you how much I love you right?" she once against whispered as their lips broke apart and she could rest her forehead against his.

He nodded, they would. That was why he was leaving work and giving his time to her and the kids. That he was able to be a father for Sebastian and finding some middle ground between being Daisy’s boyfriend and a father to Maya and Katelyn. Which had been one of the best things to discover, it was that even though they weren’t his. It had fallen so natural for him to become their father. Now, it wouldn’t come as a surprise for anyone expect Cassian. Given that he had been a father for many years, not because they had been his by blood. But because he had raised them and been there for them. Hannah and Charles, then there had been Minerva even though she had been far from a child when he had married Melanie. But that hadn’t stopped him from sitting long nights and talked with her.
“Mmhm, but I don’t mind hearing it again” he chuckled, giving her a soft kiss again. “I love you very much too” he mumbled, letting his hand glide from her cheek into her hair. Then he heard Kieran call for everyone. “Seems like we’ll get our peace soon enough” he mumbled, knowing that once Maggie was gone there would be a tension that would be lifted from everyone’s shoulders. Her locked away, or dead would mean that no one need to be afraid losing any more kids.

Kieran stood by the table and waited for everyone to gather, before he could tell them that it was done, and they would be able to teleport to the location. It was also a matter of how they wanted to do it, he didn’t really have a preference and looked at Primrose, as this was mostly her child they were speaking about. If she wanted to call law enforcements or what she felt like doing at this point.

She took a deeper breath in just enjoying the small seconds before Kieran called on all of them, and she exhale a little bit. "We will, I can feel it," Daisy mumbled a little bit. But this time it wasn't just a gut feeling or a wish, it was her banshee instincts that started to tickle a little, feeling something on its way. But she was pretty good at knowing when it was a death directed to someone she cared about or someone else. Daisy placed a soft kiss against Cassian's cheek and slowly got up from the edge of the bed, placing her arm around him as they walked back downstairs seeing Vidar already being on the way down as well.

Primrose had turned this over in her head over and over again, trying to figure out how to act in this situation, what would be best. Austin had gotten her convinced that they would do this the legal way that the blood shouldn't be on her hands, but standing in this right here and right now, having seen how scared Katelyn had looked, how this whole situation was affecting Daisy - she felt like it wasn't just her fight - it had never really been just her fight, but since it was Andrew's life that actually was on the line here, she was the one calling the shots, knowing the banshee might not like that but she also understood why. Primrose took a deeper breath in, looking towards Vidar, then not long after Cassian and Daisy coming downstairs, knew right then she would let Daisy handle Maggie the way she wanted to handle her. Either way, she was sure no matter what happened no one in this room would by any means let Maggie harm them every again. In anyway. She turned her eyes to Kieran, "we handle this one ourselves - I have no idea what state Andrew is in after all of these years or what she possibly could have filled in his head. So, I need someone to go in with me to get him," she took a deeper breath in because she hated expecting the worst, but in this case it was perhaps the best thing she could do. "I will keep Maggie busy," Daisy replied with a little nod. "I think I owe her a piece of my mind," she added.

The good thing about being as old as Kieran, was that you could make complex spells look like novice ones. It also gave him an edge, in the matter of knowing how to seem like he was able to cast one spell after another without letting it seem like it was affecting him. When the matter of it was that it took a toll on him. He knew, that after this, he would be incapacitated for a while. But for his family, he would do anything. He felt like he owed it to more than one of them, after he had been helped so much after his wife had died.
Kieran nodded when Prim told him, that they were handling this themselves. “Very well, everyone should be alert and ready to fight when we are teleported to the location” he gave everyone a stern look “Now this isn’t a battle where its fight or die, be smart and please, try not to let your emotions handle for you, because then they win” not that he knew if his words would have any affected, but he had seen it so many times before. Handle out of revenge and ending up being the one standing back with the guilt of having ended another person’s life. Sometimes it just wasn’t worth it.
Cassian felt a hand tightening around his chest, as he looked towards Daisy as she spoke her piece. He wasn’t about to try to talk her out of it, and instead of giving the same warning as his uncle he folded his lips together and nodded. Looking towards Kieran that made sure that everyone was ready before he closed his eyes. He started chanting and the map on the table started to catch fire. With a flash and a spark from the flames, everyone around the table teleported to the location of Maggie and Andrew. Kieran stumbled back a few steps, feeling Cassian by his side the minute he did, he nodded and then looked towards the others. “Go”

They were there standing outside the house, lights inside - they were home. Primrose felt like someone had just kicked a knee to her stomach, it was very real out of the sudden. Go. Primrose nodded and using her speed she was close to the house within seconds, placing her hand on the wall to siphon whatever spell that could have been placed there leaving her hand to glow for a moment while siphoning. She could smell him, which was possibly the worst, not just rushing in and letting all instincts fall, no matter how fast she was or ability gifted. But moving a bit to the side of the house she could transmite some of the bricks into dust by a simple touch, leaving a round larger hole in the house without a sound. Waiting to enter till she had at least someone with her.

Vidar turned towards his sister, "cover us up please," Daisy licked her lips a little before covering the fact that Primrose, Kieran, Cassian and herself was there while Vidar walked towards the front door to knock. Letting the witch out of her hidden spot. The sight of Maggie by the door looking at Vidar with that fake plastered smile on her lips made Daisy's blood boil even more, and she breathed slowly out trying not to act too much on it. It however didn't take long before Maggie was thrown out of her house and out on the middle of the front yard, by Vidar who always did have a force temper than his sister, but also like her he collected it to a point where the bobble just waited to explode. Daisy kept the illusion up which also just caused Maggie to only see and sense Vidar being there, and also the only target to aim at as she used a spell to push him back hitting the brick wall. Which only led to Daisy sending a blast of energy sending Maggie further down the yard, just as she had gotten up on her feet. "There, that's enough of that," she mumbled looking shortly towards Vidar as she stepped out of the illusion, making sure he was alright as he came closer towards her, looking at Maggie who slowly got up on her feet again.

Cassian placed Kieran to lean up against a tree trunk, few words where needed, so all Kieran did was give his nephew a small nod before Cassian knew he would be alright. “She’s strong, be careful” he muttered, knowing that this had to be done carefully, especially after Cassian had almost lost his life the last fight, he had been in. Not a thing he wanted to reenact.
Cassian followed along with his eyes, standing beside Daisy, waiting for what was going to happen. How Maggie was pulled out of the house, and then Vidar that was blasted into the brick wall. There seemed to be some yelling from inside the house. Mostly just a scared boy that wanted to know what was going on. When Daisy walked out of the illusion, so did he, looking towards Maggie that was getting up. He narrowed his eyes as he saw how she started to speak an incarnation. Being faster, he uttered a few words, and chains spouted from the ground as if they were roots. He looked towards Daisy “go help Primrose” he muttered, before turning towards Maggie. He and Vidar should be more than capable to keep her occupied until Andrew was safely out of the house once again.

Maggie and Daisy's eyes met. Eye contact itself was a powerful weapon, and in that second, it would have been so easy to just tab into the telekinetic forces and just it to snap Maggie's neck and just be done with it. But the sound of Cassian's voice made her blink a little looking towards him, help Primrose. Help Primrose. Daisy turned her head back towards the chained down Maggie, and felt how her jaw tensed, seeing that small smirk on the witch's lips form as their eyes once again met. Closing her hands into a fist tight for a moment, before releasing and walking towards the house. Not looking back, because if she looked back she knew she would rip Maggie to pieces and that was not what they needed right now. Getting inside though the front door Daisy looked around, she could hear the crying from upstairs and she could hear, well Prim trying to calm the boy down, which was perhaps the most heart breaking thing to hear. And as soon the boy looked at Daisy, he ran to her like she was the only safety line at stake, so naturally Daisy picked him up, casting an illusion over Primrose making her look different to the tribrid than to anyone else. Then attenting to comfort the boy. "You should get him to the hospital," Daisy then spoke in a lower voice, before absorbing enough of Andrew's energy so he fell asleep in her arms then letting Primrose take him. "You are way faster than any of us anyways, ask for Ash or Clay, I will cover you," she nodded before Prim took off with the speed of light.

Daisy walked out of the room, and noticed the light in the room next to it, and since it sounded like the guys outside didn't have yet too much of a struggle to hold Maggie down, she opened the door. Seeing the room, nice and green, clean like waiting for someone. And then she looked towards one of the photos. Katelyn. "What the hell," Daisy felt the knot tight in her stomach and she licked her lips. It almost looked like she expecting an arrival or something, which made Daisy shake her head a little bit, cursing to herself, realizing she had to get back outside now. Because everything just felt like the walls were closing in around her. So, she made it down the stairs, just about to reach the open front door when she saw something on the dinner table. Files and papers, making Daisy step towards it, seeing pictures on the dark wood table. Pictures of Maya, pictures of Maya and Violet. Daisy picked one of them up, feeling how heavy her heart got and looked towards the outside. She could feel how it affected her using her illusions to cast outside and afar with Prim in case if Andrew would wake up. But she also used her energy based powers to keep herself from feeling it too strongly. Beside this anger would carry her all the way if it came down to it.

Vidar looked towards Kieran and Cassian for a second as they had entered the house not long ago, he had even sensed Primrose leave. So, that left Maggie alone. All alone. But for some reason the witch just laughed, provoking respond to someone like Vidar who likely just would have let the woman get struck by lightning. Maybe he should've done so. Daisy still had the photos in her hands stepping outside again looking towards Maggie, "and how did you actually think you would end up getting a chance like this?" She asked rather stoic and licked her lips a little bit looking down at the photos again, before keeping her eyes locked on Maggie. "You are never going to see either of them, you do know that right?" Once again it took all of Daisy's self control to not just snap the witch's neck like a twig. Maggie moved her eyes away from Daisy closing them to perform a spell, blasting them all back. Both Daisy and Vidar hitting the ground, but even as mad as she was, her first instinct was to look and see how Cassian and the others had taken the blow back. Daisy herself was fine, a few scratches from the branches and rocks she had fallen over.

Kieran followed them inside, but Cassian stood in the doorway looking towards Maggie, making sure that she didn’t do anything stupid. Kieran let out a soft sigh, as he looked at the rooms. It was clear that she had been making something ready for someone. The answers lied in the room filled with pictures of young girls. Girls that he quickly gathered had to be somewhat linked to Daisy. One of them looked very much like her young girl that had been at the house before they had left. His brows knitted towards each other as he picked up some of the surveillance pictures and saw that there had been made detail plans to take these girls. What on earth was this? Gathering interesting hybrids, and species that was extremely rare? For what, research purposes? Now he knew that there were people out there doing it, and it made his skin crawl. But sadly, it didn’t come as a surprise.

“Daisy” Cassian warned, as she stepped towards the witch and started talking to Maggie, it wouldn’t help. There was nothing that would be able to get pass that sick mind that roamed inside of her head. But before he could do anything, as his focus had shifted from the captive towards Daisy the blast hit him and threw him against the doorframe. A small crack was heard, and he cursed as he crawled around on the floor. Shit he was getting far too old for this shit. “I’m fine” he called, and Kieran walked outside to look Maggie that tried to get out of her restrains. Now he needed to keep his magic use to a minimum if he wanted to teleport them all back again. But that didn’t mean he was completely helpless. Walking towards Maggie as she started chanting, he raised his hand, his point finger and middle finger stabbed into her eyes, and she yelped in pain falling to her knees. “I found that no one is scary after being poked in the eye” he mused placing his fingers against her head and she fell asleep. He got up from his position and looked towards the others. “Everyone okay, anything broken?” he asked a little louder, until her head someone’s phone ringing.

He was fine. Vidar nodded he was alright, they had been thrown around by scarier people in the past. Then Kieran stepped back outside and Daisy's head turned towards him for a moment, but no, the banshee wasn't going to take her eyes off Maggie for longer than seconds at the time. She didn't even flinch when Kieran stabbed his fingers into the eyes of the witch or as she yelped in pain and felt back onto her knees. Right now she was too angry it was a miracle she didn't completely lost her cool. Vida looked towards Kieran when he asked anything was broken, well Vidar's hand was, but nothing that wouldn't heal on its own or when he took a turn to transform within a few hours - he was by now used to breaking bones. Daisy heard her phone ringing which really did take her some time to registrer before picking it up, seeing the blood from the scratch one of the branches had made. She picked up with her brows pressed a bit together, "Nigel?" Now it could be about the whole bomb she had texted him, but her gut feeling told her something else. And her gut feeling wasn't usually wrong. Vidar pressed his brows together as well stepping closer looking at the now sleeping witch with blood running out her eyes, before looking towards Cassian shortly then Daisy.

Kieran turned his head from Daisy when she started looking for her phone, then he didn’t need to ask who was ringing. Then he looked towards Vidar as he walked over to look at the witch, that was now more or less incapacitated. He didn’t like to resort to violence, but he would like not to be flung around because she couldn’t behave herself. Some people just didn’t know when they couldn’t win anymore and was determined to keep believing they could turn things around, or die trying. Maggie seemed like the, or die trying, type. Which he was sure that more than one person would be glad to help with. Even though it was never the answer, and in the end they still won. Because then you had to live with their dead’s. Always remembering them, instead of letting them rot away in a prison cell.  
“Daisy?” Nigel breathed heavily on the other side of the phone. “Where are you?” he asked, it was clear to hear how he was walking rather fast towards his car. He licked his lips and placed a flat hand on the cars roof, trying to calm himself. “Maya just called me, someone tried to kidnap her, she’s fine, but where is Katelyn?” he could feel how his heart hammered against his chest. Almost threatening to make it explode. He didn’t like this feeling; it was almost like the day that Daisy had called him and informed that someone had taken Katelyn. He didn’t appreciate that they had to go through it one more time. He just hoped that his fear wasn’t well founded, even though he knew that there was a very slim chance for that.

It had been a while since Daisy had heard Nigel ask her name like that, the way of him breathing heavily out. "I'm outside Maggie's house," she pressed her brows a bit confused together, but her heart was speeding several steps ahead of her. Then Nigel mentioned that Maya had just called, and what she had been calling about, "wh-" but she didn't even get to ask the question before he asked where Katelyn was. Daisy licked her lips a little bit moving her other hand through her hair. "She... she is at home, we left just ten minutes ago,  I -" Daisy turned towards Vidar, almost looking and begging him to confirm their worries were for nothing.  That they didn't have a reason to be worried, but with their luck. Vidar's expression as he started tracking Katelyn, till he looked Daisy in the eye again, he didn't even have to say a word. "She is not home," she breathed out slowly, her lips shivering.  Looking towards Maggie, and felt the rage kick up another level. Because, they had master trackers, people high magical powers, they didn't even need her to tell them anything. Vidar already had an eyesight on Katelyn, saying they were driving. And Daisy knew that Nigel would have no trouble finding a way to track Katelyn as well. "We will find her," she confirmed. This time she wasn't just going to crumble into a black hole, this time Daisy was done being afraid. "I'm with Vidar, Cassian and Kieran-" she informed letting him know that she was with people who were able to actually do a difference, they had more ressources now than they ever had before. "I will keep you updated, and you the same. They can't have made it far out of Grounds of Lily if they are by car," she added still looking at Maggie as she hang up on the phone. "Safe to say we don't need her," and for sure Daisy was not going to look at her face again, and she could live with killing her. That she could. So she did, a loud crack sounded as she used her powers to make Maggie's neck snap. "They have taken Katelyn. Tried to take Maya, call Prim," she looked towards Cassian with a little nod. Her heart beating so fast that if the feared hadn't had converted itself into anger, it would possibly have swallowed her whole.

Nigel waited with bated breath; he didn’t like this. But he tried not to think too far ahead of himself. Mostly because if he did, they had already won. However, before he managed to calm himself down, she confirmed that she wasn’t at home. He let out a roar of anguish and kicked his car. “Okay, yes, we’ll keep each other updated” he said before hanging up and closed his eyes, he wrote a message to Jamie, telling him in short code the situation and asked him to meet with him around Grounds of lily before he tuned into his tracking mode and placed himself in the car and drove off.

Now, Cassian had killed a lot of people in his lifetime. Especially in the time where there had been many witch hunts, both by humans but also angels. Sometimes it was kill or be killed. He had chosen life. He still found it rather telling, that one of his best friends were an archangel, given that those angels with that rank had killed plenty of his siblings and family members. But sometimes it was better to let the past rest and move on.
Even so, he didn’t choose to ask Daisy not to kill her. Licking his lips slowly he looked towards Daisy when she asked him to call Prim. “I will, you and Vidar go, Kieran and I’ll stay here and see if we can find some clues to whether Maggie was working alone or not – go” he nodded to both of them, knowing they would have time to talk later. Then he picked up his phone and called Primrose. What a bloody mess this had turned out. Probably not what Primrose had been having in mind when she had knocked on Daisy’s door today.

It didn't take long for Jamie to see Nigel's message and inform Sariel of the meaning of it, then that he had to go, that maybe she could to Nigel's house and just keep an eye out while. It would mean Sariel, Irina and Mariella would stay together, which he found way more security in than all of them being all around. And rushed to the car to drive off as well towards Grounds of Lily. Thinking about calling Reginald since he was already living closer towards the forest areas.

Her eyes turned white for a second, looking at Maggie with her banshee eyes for a moment, just a moment till Cassian replied her, and gave him a nod. This would wash over her later, she knew that and they would have to deal with her actions, but right now she didn't even let regret come close. Then looking towards Vidar who walked closer to his sister then, and Daisy exhaled a little bit still looking at Cassian taking his hand giving it a small squeeze, " see you soon," she lifted his hand up to her lips giving his knuckles a soft kiss before letting go and headed with Vida down the streets. She hated all of this. With every single little fiber of her body, she hated this. Vidar even thought about calling Elroy for an extra hand, because they could end up needing it. But he wasn't even going small talk with Daisy because he knew the look in her eyes too well, and he wasn't going to be the one making her boil over before she got a chance to collect all the emotions roaming inside her.

After a good amount of time Daisy and Vidar reached a smaller barn by the edge of the forest. The darkness was taking over the forest and Daisy did not have night vision to brag with, so it was only the small lights from the house that made her able to actually see anything, Vidar was another thing, his senses were on peak. Daisy at this point just hoped that Nigel had taken one of the portals to get a head start, because even if she could take the whole barn down and crush every single person inside, was that really what she wanted?

He squeezed her hand back and nodded as a reply to her; see you soon. Swallowing a little, he turned back to his uncle that shook his head a little. He understood why, and with a small twist with his fingers, the chains that had held the now dead Maggie disappeared. With a soft sigh, he rolled his shoulders, waiting for Primrose to pick up, when she didn’t, he tried to call again. Looking after Kieran that walked inside, to see if he could find anything in the mess of papers there was scattered around.

It hadn’t taken long before Nigel was sitting in front of the barn and taking everything in. He wasn’t really like the whole vibe, and he had sent of a quick message towards Reginald just telling him that today might not be a good idea to be walking around the forest. Now, he could of course ask him to be there. But sometimes it could become too much when you were to many people that was already affected by the fact that a loved one had been taking. He looked over his shoulder and made a small sound, that would mimic a bird, to get Daisy and Vidar’s attention. Then he turned his eyes back towards the barn. “They came a few minutes ago, there were two cars, I didn’t see how they brought inside, but it seems like there is two captives and not only one” he stated matter-of-factly. Not being ruled by his emotions right now, as he had turned them off. Much like what a vampire could do.

It didn't take long for Vidar to notice Nigel, and nodded to Daisy that they should walk towards him, getting closer she took a deeper breath in, moving her eyes from Nigel to the barn. "If they went after Maya, there is a good chance the other person is Violet," she hated to theorize that. But it made sense. "I found pictures of both Maya and Violet. Katelyn in Maggie's house," the knot in her stomach was tight, but no, she wasn't going to let her emotions rule her right now, was she? "Maggie however won't be a problem anymore. So, we just have to deal with the rest of them," she clicked her tongue a little bit. "So each of us take a side and make the way in or?" Jamie suggested coming in from behind, making Daisy and Vidar turn their heads for a moment. Jamie took a deeper breath in looking at the barn as well. How these people just had made the last and greatest mistake in their life time. It was almost just really sad. Vidar tensed his jaw a little bit looking back at the barn, "I can cause a little distraction out here, while you guys get inside," he suggested and Jamie turned his eyes to the thunderbird for a moment, then nodding well this was really not his call but Daisy and Nigel's on how they wanted them to act.

Finally, as Primrose had left the hospital room having talked reached out to Henry and talked a little with Sophia and Clay, she noticed a few missed calls, but before being able to make back to them, Cassian called her again and she picked up, "hey everything okay?" She asked first thing, knowing what situation she had left. And Primrose closed her eyes hoping everything was fine. She really, really hoped.

Nigel looked towards Daisy, waiting for her to elaborate why she thought it was Violet. Had they found her again? He remembered just how devastated they had all been, when both girls had been abducted from the hospital. It had brought them closer together, at least for a while. Until it had torn them all apart, even though Daisy and he had tried to start a family regardless. But they had both known that it would never be the same again. Even if it was a shame. “Seems like a good idea” Nigel mumbled, having noticed his brother before he had found his way towards them. He then turned to gaze at Vidar and gave him a small nod. “Good, let’s not waste any more time” he breathed, motioning that him and Jamie should walk together, and Daisy should take the other way around. One might think that Nigel would make his brother go with her, but he knew that she was far stronger than the two of them combined, and Jamie and him needed each other to be the best version of themselves.

Cassian had cursed, since he didn’t have Austin’s number he couldn’t call him, so instead he had put his phone in his back pocket and walked inside of the house. Kieran looked towards him, and he could already see on his uncle’s face that it was going to be bad. “What is it?” he asked, Kieran shook his head, “I don’t think you’re ready to see it” he mumbled, but Cassian nevertheless walked over and took the paper that was in front of him. “They wanted to make them pregnant?” he widened his eyes, feeling sick in his stomach. That was maybe the worst thing, so they were taking girls and boys? Just as he was about to announce he might throw up, he felt how his phone started vibrating. “Hey Primrose” he said with a low voice, letting his hand glide over his face when she asked if everything is okay. “I need you to remain calm, but Katelyn’s gone, they are tracking her now, but you should call Austin and find out if Violet is missing too, can you do that for me?” he asked, trying to remain calm in his voice hoping it might give her some resolve.

Daisy nodded a little looking towards Vidar that once again wanted to provide distraction, how many more bones was he going to break, then she noticed that perhaps he was close to his transformation hour anyways and it simply didn't matter regardless. But she agreed, she did not want to waste any time. So, she started moving towards where she was to enter, looking around the barn towards the backdoor, using her telekineses to open the door silently and then enter, being very careful of the way her feet moved. Listening to them talk, whisper the people who had taken Violet and Katelyn, her eyes looked for the girls and found them tied up and knocked out by the corner. It looked like these people were preparing some sort of blood work, setting things up. After all they had just gotten there. Then hearing a flicker of thunder and lighting outside the front, it caught the attention of the people who had experienced just a snowy and chill evening to do their thing. Cloaking herself in an illusion she made it closer to the papers and stuff, folding her lips a little bit, knowing just about every medical word used on their plans and further instructions. And no matter how hard she had tried to prevent herself from lash out in anger, she couldn't stop herself from hammering a force of energy through the table, tearing it to pieces with all information, all further collected samples and the like. Which was perhaps a way better distraction than Vidar's at least he had gotten a few before Daisy exploded. But then again how much of stuff like this could you take in a few hours before reaching your limit?

Jamie took a deeper breath in as him and Nigel looked around, then it didn't take long before he felt the blast, not because it hurt him but he could feel the energy rushing out the room. And then further down he could easily smell Katelyn close by and signed to Nigel that he could see both her. While keeping an extra eye out to make sure that Daisy could deal with the extra attention she had brought to herself, which he didn't really doubt, but it didn't mean he looked away.

I need you to remain calm. Famous last words really, however Primrose took a deeper and more collected breath in and listening. Katelyn was gone? At least they were tracking her. Call Austin... why - her question was asked before her head even got to ask it, and she felt all the air caught in her throat unable to get out. Find out if Violet was missing too. It echoed in her head like a never stopping buzz. "I don't know - I," she closed her eyes for a moment faking a deeper breath in, which at least meant she tried. "Okay, okay - I got it, I got it," she wasn't sure if she was trying to convince herself or Cassian, but she did not find any comfort in any of this. Far from. "I will call him  -" she breathed out keeping her eyes closed while letting her hand rush through her hair. Then ending the call, to dial Austin's number and placed the phone against her ear, "hey," she hadn't realizing she had held her breath for this long til she spoke and her voice sounded a bit hoarse, so she cleared her throat, "is Violet with you?"

It wasn’t the first time Nigel had experience Daisy’s powers when it went out of control. Each time he had been filled with dread because he had been so scared how she was going to snap out of it before the power would drain her for so much energy that she would die from it. Right now, he knew that it would be okay, and there would be time to calm her down, when they had gotten the girls out of the building. Besides, this was one of those times where Vidar was here as well, and if there was someone that knew what to do, it would be him.
Looking towards Jamie he nodded when he signaled that he knew where Katelyn was. Without any words he followed along, and quickly found her bound and knocked out daughter. They were lucky that Nigel could think clearly, and all he did was pick her up after he had taken off her restrains. He nodded towards the other girl and signed that Jamie should do the same to her, before he walked out of the building with Katelyn safely out of the barn. His eyes looking towards Daisy’s direction to make sure that she was still handling what was coming her way.

Cassian told her to call him after she had spoken with Austin and then looked towards Kieran as they started to map out the date in chronological order, giving an overview what was what. Who had ordered what. Not that it was easy, there was so much research material that it almost gave the old warlock a headache. But without any words the continued their work with no breaks.

Austin was standing outside the academy waiting for Violet, who was taking her sweet time to get out of there if he was saying so himself. She had been the one already delaying his pickup because she wanted to write a paper and she needed some books from the library. He pressed his brows together and picked up his phone. “Hello? No, no she isn’t” he breathed “Why? What is going on?” he asked, as he started moving into the grounds and started looking for her, dread already filling his entire soul.

Jamie rushed over to the other girl and got her out of the restrains, then bringing her out the building as well, not moving too far away yet not being too close not to do anything if needed. Daisy noticed Nigel and Jamie carrying the girls out and she exhaled for a moment, her heart eased just a little. A little bit at least, moving her eyes towards the handful of people coming her way. What had caught her attention was the burning pain from a bullet on her left shoulder, but what she hated most about that was the fact that Cassian could feel it too, but she also managed to stop it before it went to far through and the next set of bullets were stopped with a single movements of her hand and send right back to them. And then forcing the weapons off them, blinking a little bit exhausted, but no, she didn't care about lack of energy right now. She knew she would be fine. Now that Katelyn was out and safe. Daisy was okay. But who was she if she just let them go to do what they were planning on? Could she let them live after this? It had happened once, right now, therefor it could happen again. And no, killing them wouldn't bring her peace, but peace was never an option now was it? So, stepping back and let the roof fall down, crashing over them as she held them down, making sure they were dead. And wouldn't she know? Because as the waves of dust covered her and the sound of everything fell down she had screamed - she was a banshee that was what they did. But it also just left Vidar with the others, but she didn't think they would survive much longer either. Because Vidar did not show anyone mercy.

Primrose closed her eyes, this was not how things were supposed to happen. No, no it wasn't. And she tried to keep herself calm, and if there was one thing she was good at it was sounding convincing even if she was breaking apart slowly. But having to retell to Austin that Maggie might have taken Violet again, it was like a nightmare repeating itself over and over again. When would Primrose stop sinking? "Katelyn has been taken, but they are tracking her... and Cassian had reason to believe maybe they would be after -" she couldn't even really say Violet's name, closing her eyes shut even tighter. "Kieran, Cassian and Daisy are on it - I -" she took a deeper breath in, "I'm at the hospital with Andrew - fuck I hate this," she mumbled a little bit once again just finding herself completely useless even if she did trust Kieran, Cassian and Daisy enough to know they would do the best thing to get Violet out safe as well. "I have to call Cassian back, but where are you at?"

Cassian was looking over some papers when he felt a sharp pain glide through his left shoulder. He pressed his eyes together and felt how his jaw clenched to get through it. Now it wasn’t because it was life threatening, but by the way it felt, he would guess it had to be a bullet. Breathing out, he realized that Kieran was speaking to him. He put up his hand and waved it a little. “She got shot” he mumbled, placing both hands against the table and took a couple of deep breaths. Mostly because he didn’t have the adrenalin to power through the exploding pain a bullet normally would leave you. Sadly, pain wasn’t a stranger to him. So, after a time he could finally relax again and pushed back. “I’m going to try and call” not that he thought they would pick up, but it would at least settle his nerves that she would be able to see that he had tried to reach her, instead of just pretending that nothing had happened. Pressing his phone against his ear he picked up a couple of pictures. He still wasn’t over the fact just how sick this operation seemed to be. When he didn’t get ahold of her, he decided to send her a text and then text Nigel to call him back when everything had calmed down, just to let him know how things were going. He hated the waiting game, but he put away his phone and tried to make himself useful.

Nigel placed Katelyn in the back of his car and breathed out, looking towards Jamie when he came with what had to be Violet. She looked so much like Primrose. Then he took his phone when it started buzzing because of a text. He called Cassian, quickly letting him know that they got the girls, and they would track back to make sure that Daisy and Vidar were okay.

“She isn’t here, she, I got a text, shit this isn’t happening” he mumbled, letting his fingers run through his hair as he tried to see if he had just not been thorough enough. But there was no sign of her. “I’m so sorry darling, yes, of course, I’ll drive to the hospital, so you won’t be alone, I am at the school, I’m there in fifteen minutes” he whispered before hanging up and running back to his car, he hadn’t even noticed how his old nickname for her had slipped his tongue. Nor did he care right now, all he cared about was making sure that Violet made it home tonight.

Cassian that had just been about to put away his phone recived another call. “Hi, they got both of them, they are fine just a little ruffled” he explained feeling how his shoulder sank a little. Everything was going to be fine, not right now and not tomorrow. But it was there, in the end things would turn out fine.

Jamie sat Violet next to Katelyn in the car, feeling a little bit better everytime he could actually be there to help someone rather than being too late. Even if the fear hit him every single time, being too late. The last thing he wanted Nigel to experience was what had happened to him, even if Nigel did have some very painful experiences as well. Jamie exhaled. They needed to get the girls away from here, and he put his faith in Daisy and Vidar to make sure that this wouldn't happen again - at least not by these people.

Primrose kept her eyes closed, and held her breath. Finding a relief that Austin would drive to her, and nodded a little bit even if he couldn't see it. Just trying her best to keep it together, it was all she really could do now, and yet she felt how she was almost bound to crash. "Okay, thanks," she breathed out keeping her eyes closed. Before hanging up the phone and just waited for Cassian to call her back, realizing she had been the one needing to call back and called. They are fine, it was like a wave of relief washed over her, making her use her other hand to cover her mouth almost unable to breath. She knew it would take time for both to recover from it but she was relieved. "Okay - okay - they are fine. They are -" she took a deeper breath in. "Austin is driving here to the hospital, we will both be there, thank you," she breathed out a little before hanging up. Feeling how her body just sank to the floor and she just began to cry not really able to keep up with everything that was going on around her. But she would feel much better once she saw Violet with her own eyes, knowing she was there and not so far away. Because right now she still felt torn, but she trusted Cassian when he said that she was fine. She really did. But right now she just needed to sit on the cold hospital floor and cry for a bit. She didn't even care how the people around her looked at her. She just needed this.

Daisy stepped outside to Vidar who looked send a wave of electricity through the people out front that otherwise aimed towards him. Not letting the bullets hit, but rather roasting the people who had the thought it was a brilliant idea to take a hit at his family. Then they could all burn in hell for what he cared. So, it didn't take much more than a few more thunderstrikes and the barn was lit up in flames, and perhaps it was all of these deaths that let the banshee to scream or the frustration that had happened tonight. Blinking a little after, feeling just a bit dizzy, but Vidar grabbed her by the arm with his not broken hand and gave her a small nod while looking at the burning building.

Austin had parked his car and ran down the halls of the hospital. There he found her, now it didn’t take a genius to see that she had been letting all the emotions just overwhelm her. Letting it all out, because now she had finally gotten all her children back, only to be called that someone had taken Violet – again. It was a pain that would never really leave because it was years that had been missed. The first steps, the first word. Those small things that no one besides those that had kids cared about. All of that was something that had been stolen from them, from Primrose. That would never be given back. Sure, she could, they could get kids again. But Violet and Andrew would forever be someone were they had been robbed of their childhood. At least there was still so many years left to explore with Andrew, where Violet was already her own woman. It was harder to bland their lives with hers, because she was so set in the way she wanted to view and see things. Hopefully they would get so many years to learn about her and be there for all the other small things.
He placed his arms around her and held her tight in his embrace. Hugging her a little closer he just stood there for a moment. Breathing, taking it all in. Everything would be fine; he was sure of it. Even if it seemed like very thing was rumbling right now.

Nigel nodded towards Jamie “Stay here” he ordered, trusting no one like he trusted Jamie to look out for the girls, he grabbed a blanket and walked back to where Vidar and Daisy were, dealing with the people that had taken their and Primrose daughter.
As he stepped closer he handed Vidar the blanket with a small smile, and placed a comforting arm around Daisy. “How is your shoulder?” he asked, letting his hand feel her head to make sure she wasn’t overheating. With slow steps he walked back to the car, so Daisy could see Katelyn safe and sound with her own eyes.
