They had spent the last week in the Alps, skiing and having the time of their lives. As they dropped their bags in the entryway, Karma turned to everyone with a mischievous grin. "Guys, I have a secret to share. There's a reason I wanted to come home before going back to college." Bella and Matt exchanged curious glances. "What is it?" Bella asked, her eyes sparkling with intrigue. Karma's grin grew wider. "I want to become a vampire, a Hybrid, like you guys." Matt's eyes widened in shock. "Whoa, Karma, that's huge!" Bella's expression turned thoughtful. "But why? You're amazing just the way you are." "I don't want to be different from my family anymore." Karma's face lit up with determination. Just then, I walked into the room, a hint of a smile on my face, happy to have them back home. I hugged the

Chapter 49 Saying GoodbyeLyra's condition rapidly deteriorated, her body frail and fragile. Dr. Brooks' face was etched with concern, her voice laced with desperation. "Lyra, I've tried everything, but... I can't save you. I don't even know what's causing this."Matt's eyes locked onto Lyra, his gaze filled with a mix of sorrow and determination. "I know what's causing this, Doctor," he said, his voice firm. "It's Shade. I've seen it in my visions. He's behind this."Dr. Brooks' expression turned skeptical. "Shade? But how? What could he possibly...?"Matt's eyes blazed with conviction. "He's been planning this for years, Doctor. He's been waiting for the perfect moment to strike. And now, he's found a way to destroy Lyra from the inside out." Brent's face contorted in anguish, his voice cracking. "No, no, no... this can't be happening.

They hug and welcome them making room at the table, But Niklaus, a man who likes to get straight to the point, goes straight to Sophia, his face grave with determination, as he pulls out the chair next to her and Sam and stares at her trying to figure out if she is worth his effort. "Sophia, we need your help," Kie said. "We need to summon Erzulie Red-Eyes, the loa of vengeance. Can you arrange a meeting with the Voodoo priest?"Sophia's eyes narrowed, her expression serious. "That's a dangerous request. Erzulie is not to be trifled with. But I understand your desperation. I'll speak to my connection, and we'll see what we can do."She paused, her eyes widened with a hint of concern. "But be warned, the loa of vengeance will not come cheaply. She'll demand a price, and it may be more than you're willing to pay."Niklaus's jaw clenched. "We're willing to take that risk.
Chapter 51 Shades PrisonerDeep in the pits of the underworld, Raven slowly wakes up in unfamiliar settings, she struggles to see her eyes barely open. she hears deep breathing and she freezes. then it hits her the horrid stench of Shade Marcus.Shade's eyes gleamed with malevolence as he gazed at Raven, her pale naked body, illuminated by the dim light in the underworld lair. (He had intercepted her on her way to get groceries, snatching her from the limo screaming and fighting him, as he dragged her down to his lair through a portal he had created.)"Ah, Raven," he whispered, his voice dripping with sinister sexual intent. "You're even more exquisite now, than before. The transformation suits you, my love."Raven's eyes flashed with defiance, despite her fear. "You fucking monster," she spat. "What have you done to me?" As he spoke, he snapped his fingers, and chains materialized, binding Raven to the stone wall. She struggled against them, but they held fast.Shade chuckled, his
Chapter 52 Waiting is PainfulBenoit looks at him with great concern. "Well for one, he has her in the underworld, and she's probably been hexed to do his bidding. So any link you guys had before was severed.Sam and Lucas who have been quietly observing the conversation, spoke up. "How can we help rescue Raven?"The private door opens and Niklaus enters his voice booming. "So we have a plan?"Benoit is in awe. he lowers his head in respect, "King Niklaus! I am honored to be of service to you." with a slight bow.Niklaus's piercing gaze swept the room, his eyes lingering on each face before settling on Benoit. "Ah, Papa Mojo's son. I see. I am King in my own Kingdom not far from here.. My son Kieran, Reins as King here. It seems we have a mutual interest in destroying Shade and rescuing Raven. Tell me, what do you propose we do to get her back?""We were just talking about why Kie's mind-link with her has been severed," he fills Niklaus in. Niklaus doesn't tell them that he is still l
Chapter 53 Prepare for The RescueBenoit and Papa Mojo set out on their perilous journey, navigating the treacherous world of voodoo and magic. Their first stop was the Bone Dagger of the loa, hidden deep within a dark and foreboding cave. As they ventured deeper, the air grew thick with the scent of decay and death. Suddenly, a figure emerged from the shadows - a towering loa, its eyes blazing with fury.Papa Mojo stepped forward, his voice steady and respectful. "We come for the dagger, great loa. We mean no disrespect." After explaining why they needed it, the loa regarded them for a moment before nodding its head. "Take the dagger, but be warned: its power comes at a steep price from the one who has taken another's mate."Next, they sought the Heartstone of Erzulie, hidden within a lush and vibrant garden. But as they reached for the glowing stone, Erzulie herself appeared, her beauty and grace belied by a fierce determination. "You shall not have my Heartstone without a test,"
