A few years later , Matt O'Connell shows up. He asks for a potion that can take away someone's humanity. This is the first act of witchcraft Laura does at 16 years old , and she is succesful. When her family finds out the potion had a loophole , and that it failed , Laura was punished in a terrifying ritual. 
Nevertheless , the family soon discovered that the young witches of the bloodline have a lot of potential. Ever since , every child born in the bloodline is raised very strickly , and is kept inside most of the time. Laura and her nieces and nephews were obliged to do dangerous spells and potions , involving blood and fire , such as the creation of the Humanity-ring.
===Waterfall Creek===
When her sister finds out Payton Silverstone has been asking questions about the ring Laura created , Lydia comes up with the plan to go to Waterfall Creek. Laura at first is against this , knowing very well how their parents would react. But when all the others agree , she has no choice if she wants to keep them safe. She does change the plan , and decides to go to the Millers first , knowing they might have a good shot with the new leaders. She steals the SUV from her parents , and drives to Waterfall Creek , unknowing that the Millers and Silverstone tops are melted into marriage.
When Jason finds the witches he is shocked at first , and he calls his wife. Laura and Payton talk for a long time , after which they get offered refuge in the motel , where no one will hurt them. However , Laura does refuse to allow Payton to go to Haines , as she knows her parents will be mad because they left.
In the motel , Laura shares a room with Lydia.
