 Back in Northampton, William is enjoying his soup and half-sandwich when he looks up and sees The Academitrix in the middle of the kitchen. Assuming she’s here looking for Josh, he states, “He’s not here.” The totem glides over to the clock and reaches inside it. She manipulates the hands to show 3:30 and then using charades explains the others will be here then. William guesses the spirit found new information, and she nods. He asks, “On the news?” and she shakes her head. She resets the clock to show the proper time and then glides away.((As William is not bonded with the pack totem, he cannot ‘hear’ it.)) William finishes his lunch and settles down for a second nap. Back in Northampton, William is enjoying his soup and half-sandwich when he looks up and sees The Academitrix in the middle of the kitchen.

-Josh wakes up as Abby starts seizing in bed next to him! He scrambles to cradle her, and she hisses, “So, interesting news. [[wod:characters:petite|Petite]] is afraid of the pack totem.” Josh looks up to see the totem glide into the bedroom; she whispers, //“Be at your grandfather’s for 3:30.”// Josh nods and asks Abby, “Are you ok?” She replies flatly, “No.” Josh yells a warning to Leta and Veltis as the totem glides through the wall separating the bedrooms. Veltis hears Josh’s warning and mumbles, “Can we call in sick?” Leta grumbles and opens her eyes – to see the Academitrix hovering over her, her face inches from Leta’s! Leta cries out in surprise, but the totem whispers, //“I have a lead on the [[wod:groups:akd|Aegis Kai Doru]]. Meet at William’s home at 3:30.”// Leta wakes up fully and demands to know why they must wait that long, but the totem simply glides away. +Josh wakes up as Abby starts seizing in bed next to him!

-The hunters hesitate, but reluctantly agree. William stipulates that some people should remain outside the office in case of trouble; Violet shrugs again and doesn’t seem to care. Mick and Dr. Ranjip end up agreeing to keep watch. The others enter Violet’s office, which is fairly large and comfortable, with video screens on all four walls showing scenes of natural landscapes to help Violet forget she works in a concrete box. She takes a seat behind her desk but keeps her hands visible at all times. Once the others settle in, she once again smiles without warmth and asks, “So tell me, have any of you heard of the [[wod:groups:maidensblood|Maiden’s Blood Sisterhood]]?” +The hunters hesitate, but reluctantly agree.

-The others look at her blankly and Del mumbles, “So white.” Violet snorts in apparent agreement before leaning back in her chair. She explains, “The Maiden’s Blood Sisterhood is another hunter organization, based out of the Seven Sisters and they focus on vampires. Back in the 1990s, when the Aegis Kai Doru had a reliquary on campus, we worked with the cell at Smith College to keep the campus safe. Although I concede, we used them as fodder when the need arose. However, in 2001, some sort of spirit/werewolf war broke out, and simultaneously one of their own betrayed her sisters to the [[wod:groups:ashwoodabbey|Ashwood Abbey]]. I believe you knew [[wod:characters:serenah|Serena Hubley]], yes?”+The others look at her blankly and Del mumbles, “So white.” Violet snorts in apparent agreement before leaning back in her chair.

 Anita and Del look lost, but the others nod grimly. Violet continues, “Serena fled to the Abbey, leaving her five ‘sisters’ to die. Maddened spirit-creatures tore apart four of them, and Smith covered it up. The fifth… well, I wouldn’t call it ‘surviving.’ One of the spirits possessed her and Konstantin captured it. He placed it here, in the warded space, and he still uses it for information on the shapeshifters. There’s nothing left of the poor girl, you understand. She’s hollowed out and the spirit-creature is in full control.” Anita and Del look lost, but the others nod grimly. Violet continues, “Serena fled to the Abbey, leaving her five ‘sisters’ to die.

 Mick replies, “Definitely.” Josh immediately turns to Del and tells her, “You have to get out of the garage. Now.” Del jokes, “Now? But the ghost lady is finally gone!” Anita admonishes Del, //“Don’t be gross, Abby is listening. And her geist has knife hands.”// Anita looks up and notes that Petite seems quite happy to stab Del… or anyone, really. Over the phone, Mick swears loudly as the pieces fall into place. He growls, “Ms. Silverman said Konstantin used a relic to create the //geas//, right? Get the relic, undo the //geas//. I bet it’s in this desk drawer, a final ‘fuck you’ to his ex.”  Mick replies, “Definitely.” Josh immediately turns to Del and tells her, “You have to get out of the garage. Now.” Del jokes, “Now?

-Violet freezes and whispers, “Oh my God. That’s exactly what he would do.” In the office, Josh asks, “Can you disarm this?” Mick shakes his head and replies, “No. Even if I had two fully functional hands, I’m not that good.” Josh asks desperately, “Anyone in the NPD?” Mick snorts and replies, “Yeah, [[wod:characters:lacombe|there’s one guy]]. Unfortunately, he’s full of vampire blood and shot me in the arm, so I don’t think he’s an option.” Josh sighs but offers weakly, “Anyone in [[wod:groups:valkyrie|TFV]]?” Mick frowns and replies, “Probably. I can certainly call.”+Violet freezes and whispers, “Oh my God.

 At the stairwell, Leta and the others turn to Violet, who has a precious spark of hope in her eyes. Leta challenges her, “If we can free you from this //geas//, what will you do?” Violet replies quickly, “Run. Run to the other coast and never look back.” Leta adds, “And the AKD? Konstantin?” Violet shakes her head and replies, “No way. I’m out.” Leta and the others look at her carefully, and Violet deflates and says quietly, “The secondary safe house is out by the Northampton airport. A rickety-looking farm on Cross Path Road.” At the stairwell, Leta and the others turn to Violet, who has a precious spark of hope in her eyes.
