The gang arrive in London, only to learn the Silver Chairman is in Manchester. While staying in the city Aurora meets a Warlock who is smitten with her but harbours a dark secret. Abraham struggles to keep his darkness in check, while Fabian decides to see if Abraham truly is alive

### **Plot**

**London**

Abraham and the gang step off the boat. Riley steps off then falls to her knees, so glad to be back on dry land. Patrick jokes that he thought Wolves love water. Riley scoffs at him, saying that she doesn't mind drinking or bathing in water, but not long boat trips on water that are attacked by Soldiers. Patrick admits it was certainly a change of pace. Aurora walks past him, cursing Kemiya's again. Patrick looks to Abraham, asking if he's ok. Abraham admits he's ok, but he needs to find the Silver chairman quickly to deal with his problem. He then turns to Abby, further stating they need to find him to keep her safe. Abby again states she is not happy about being left behind as she too walks on. Patrick and Abraham follow. Riley turns to the group saying she is hungry and thankfully can smell meat and fish. Patrick sees a market up ahead. Abraham agrees food does sound like a great idea. Aurora asks why there is a market here. Riley tells her that in the Silver Republic, markets open on Sundays, so businesses can get more personal with customers and get rid of anything they don't sell during the week. Abby thinks its something she should consider encouraging when she retakes the Bronze Throne. Abraham insists they get moving, but Patricks tells Abraham the Silver Chairman isn't going anywhere and it could likely be that the Silver Chairman is looking for him. Abraham sighs and follows the group.

The gang walk through the markets. Patrick then enquires about their finances. Riley looks into her pocket showing some cash, saying they still have some money from the diamond fence they made with Francois Banki. Abraham wonders how he is getting on. Abby asks who that is. Patrick then tells her he is the Immortal Kemiya. Abby is stunned saying she thought he was a legend. Patrick tells her he is real and they have met him. Aurora looks around and sees something ahead. She asks Riley for some money. Riley gives her a few bills, and asks what she plans to buy. Aurora tells her she sees a magic stall. She approaches and looks at the stock. She asks to buy 10 healing potions along with a few other items. The teller is a young man who make an alternative suggestion with some of her items, then further asks if she cannot heal. Aurora tells him she cannot but the young man offers to teach her. Aurora admits she would like to learn, but she is in a hurry. She pays for the items and joins the others. The young man looks out, seeing Riley, Abraham, Abby and Patrick.

**Barcelona**

Fabian is in the palace, looking out over the city. He could hear Anita in the room across the hall, hearing her yell and a man's screams. He sighs and closes the door to try and drown out the noise. He slams his fist against the door and walks to his window, opening it up and stepping out unto the balcony. He looks around then drops off the balcony and lands on his feet. He walks across the courtyard to the front gate. The guards approach but Fabian tells them to stand down. The Guards insist he stay as the city is dangerous. Fabian forms his sword and holds it to the guards chin, reminding him that he himself is dangerous. The guards relent and allow Fabian to pass, opening the gates for him. Fabian reforms his sword and heads out into the city. All Fabian does is walk. He watches as Gold Empire Military personnel are almost everywhere to be seen. Fabian then looks further on, seeing a man pulled out from a butcher shop. Fabian rushes to the scene and asks the soldiers what the situation is. The soldier tells Fabian to get lost but Fabian grabs the soldier and rams his head into a lamp post and shows his hand mark and tells the soldier who he is. He pulls the soldier back, who bows and gives an apology. He then informs Fabian that the Butcher wouldn't discount them. Fabian asks why would he. The soldier replies that they are Gold Empire Soldiers. Fabian rubs his forehead then strikes the soldier in the face. He orders the butcher be paid in full for what ever price he charges. The solider nods as Fabian turns to the butcher. The Butcher stands and walks around Fabian and back into his shop. Everyone in the street is looking at him, fear in their eyes. The two soldiers leave as Fabian himself decides to get back to the palace

**London**

The gang are standing outside of the parliament building, all with dejected looks on their faces. Abraham states that the Bronze King wasn't in Madrid when they needed him and now the Silver chairman isn't there when they need him. Riley asks what they do now. Patrick suggests that Abby stay there, but she refuses, saying her arrival will make front page news and someone will come for her. Abraham admits she has a point, that she needs the protection of the Silver Chairman. Patrick admits she's right as they turn to leave. Patrick takes out his phone and looks at train times. He notices that trains direct to Manchester have been cancelled, but the route to Dublin is open. Riley's face lights up as she says she's always wanted to go to Dublin. Abby admits she has heard great things about the city. Patricks admits himself that its a great party city. Abraham then reminds them all that he has a murderous voice inside of his head that needs dealt with. Riley calls Abraham a ball of sunshine. The gang start walking again and decide to get a hotel. Riley suggests they get something a little cheaper, since the funds are dwindling. Abraham asks what she suggests

The Gang are later standing outside a camping shop, all holding a rolled up tent. Riley walks out with her own. Abraham throws his tent on the ground, saying Camping is a stupid idea and Riley just wants to be one with nature. Patrick tells Abraham to hold back his temper and admits camping would be cheaper. Aurora isn't thrilled with the idea either, but Riley says she's almost as bad as the guys, only wanting the best things. Aurora is a little offended but Abby asks everyone to calm down. She states camping will be cheaper, keep them off the radar and keep them mobile. All agree on her point and start walking again. They come down to the sea front again, to a beached area. Patrick spots a bar and walks towards it. Abraham asks where he is going. Patrick tells him he's going for a drink. Riley decides she wants one as well. Abraham, Aurora and Abby decide to follow them. Aurora orders a cocktail and takes a drink when she sees a familiar face on the other side of the bar. Abby asks who she's looking at but Aurora points him out. Abby smiles and tells her to go for it, but she tells Abby he was at the market. Abraham asks what they are gossiping about but Abby tells him its none of his business. Abby tells her to go for it. Aurora smiles and walks around the bar. Abraham turns and sees her walking around the bar. He calls out for her but Abby tells him that she's fine and just going to talk with the man she points out. Abraham relaxes a little but tells Abby to keep an eye on her. Abby promises she will, spotting a man sitting in the corner, drinking a beer

Aurora approaches the young man and asks if he followed her. He admits he did, but only to see her. Aurora is flattered but admits his actions are bordering on stalking and that she's been through a lot in the last few months. She introduces herself as Aurora. The man gives his name as Antonio. He then asks, why is she travelling with Kemiya. She tells him they saved her life and are on a 'mission'.  Antonio asks what the mission is, but she does not say. Antonio says he understands but Aurora asks how can she heal with magic. Antonio asks what she can do. Aurora tells him she can move things, astral project, use elemental magic. Antonio then asks to see her Grimiore. Aurora reaches into her bag and pulls out a book. Antonio flicks through the pages then closes it, sighing, asking if its her Grimiore. Aurora denies that it is, saying its her former Masters book. Antonio also suggests she can't do half the spells in the book. Aurora protests that she's only recently had the chance to get some real practice in. Antonio changes his tune then turns to her, telling her he can teach her more, his body leaning close to hers. Abby spots this, then clears her throat, catching Aurora's attention. Antonio notices too and sighs, asking if they are her bodyguards. Aurora says they are just worried about her. Antonio admits it will be hard to get her alone. Aurora gives a slight giggle, agreeing that he is right, but does admit she needs training. Antonio takes a napkin and writes down an address and tells her to meet him at the location. He makes sure the others can't see him pass it to her. He says he will teach her much. He finishes his drink and leaves the bar. Aurora tucks the napkin into her bag and walks back to join the others. Abby looks at her, saying that was quick. Aurora admits it was quick, but informative. Antonio walks towards the door passing a man sitting in a booth with an amulet on his wrist, glowing as Antonio passes by

The gang had found a place to set up their tents without breaking any rules. Aurora sneaks out of her tent and looks at the address. She leaves the camp, making sure no one is following her. She hides in some bushes and forms a small flame from her hand. She closes her eyes and chants quickly, burning the napkin. It forms into a small ball of light that starts to move through the air. Aurora stands and follows the light, through the streets before coming to a club. She takes a breath and approaches but the bouncer steps before her. Aurora tells the bouncer she was invited but the bouncer tells her to leave. A voice tells the bouncer to stand down. Aurora sees Antonio approach and tells the bouncer, she was invited. He takes Aurora's arm, as he leads her into the club. She looks around, seeing witches and magicians, magical displays. Antonio asks if she likes it. Aurora replies she's never seen a place like it before and feels extreme comfort. Antonio says that happens when one is surrounded by their own. Antonio then shows her to a door and walks through it. Aurora asks if he owns the club, but Antonio tells her his father owns the club and that they are in his office. Aurora looks around as Antonio walks to a picture. He shifts his hand making the painting move up to reveal a safe. Aurora watches as Antonio presses a ring to the metal, causing it to open. Antonio reaches in and pulls out a large book, setting it on the table. Aurora is stunned, asking if that's his Grimoire. Antonio tells her, it belongs to his father. He flips through the pages before he stops at a page. Aurora reads it but Antonio takes her hand and asks her to relax. He points his finger at her hand then draws it downwards, cutting Aurora's hand. She gasps in pain, asking what he is doing, but Antonio places his palm over hers and takes a breath. Aurora looks at her hand, feeling the skin close. Antonio takes his hand back before he repeats the process on his own hand. He then tells Aurora to read the pages, and repeat the feat. Aurora complains that she's being thrown into the deep end. Antonio responds by telling her she will either sink...or swim. Aurora sighs and places her hand over Antonio's, noticing a bracelet on his wrist. She then looks at the book for a few moments. She looks at her hand and focuses. Antonio tells her to relax as he looks down, but again, Aurora can't do it. She sighs and drops his hand. Antonio nods and admits that perhaps healing it a little advanced. He then flicks to another page and says he will teach her to create light

Abraham steps out of his tent as the sun is just coming up. He looks around sensing Patrick and Abby. He then looks to Auroras tent, sensing nothing. He calls out her name but she replies, walking back to the camp with a smile on her face. Abraham asks where she's been. She says she was out all night. Abby emerges from her tent, her hair a mess. Aurora starts to hand out coffee's even giving one to Patrick inside of his tent. She asks if Riley is up. Riley shouts from within her tent for them all to be quiet. Abraham asks where she was. Aurora sits down, drinking her coffee, saying she went to see Antonio. Abby asks if it was the man she met at the bar. She admits he is and that she learnt some amazing new tricks. Patrick is intrigued but Abraham shows more concern. He tells her she shouldn't have gone off alone. Aurora tells Abraham to calm down and that witches don't often hurt their own kind, unlike Kemiya. Abraham asks where this attitude is coming from, but Aurora replies that its just nice to have another witch to talk to, rather than Kemiya's. Patrick tells Abraham to leave her be, and that they should get on with training. Aurora heads into her tent as Abraham agrees. He turns to leave but he stops for a moment then approaches Aurora's tent.

Antonio is standing and watching across the street.. A voice speaks to him, asking if that is the girl. Antonio admits it is. The man with the amulet steps out, smiling, saying he seems to have led him to 3 Kemiya's. Antonio turns to the man, a hunter, asking if Aurora be spared since he brought him 3 Kemiya's. The Hunter looks to Antonio, smiling but he agrees to the deal, suggesting that Aurora may not be harmful, unlike Kemiyas. Antonio nods, admitting they are dangerous and he hunts dangerous creatures,and spares the harmless ones. Antonio asks if he can go. The Hunter nods as he keeps an eye on the group.

Patrick, and Abby are training in the field. Abby and Patrick are fighting while Abraham is doing hand stand push ups. Patrick pushes Abby back before he turns to Abraham saying he has to train sometime. Abraham tells Patrick he is training, just in a different way. Abby takes a few more swings at Patrick who blocks her off before swiping at her, forcing her back. Abby smiles saying he is good. Abraham then asks why Aurora is acting so strange. Patrick tells him to ignore it and focus on training. He heads in for another attack but Abby forces him back. Abraham tells Patrick to be serious and that they can't have dissention in the ranks. Patrick stops for a moment as Abraham comes back down unto his feet. Patrick admits he doesn't know how it feels to have a murderous voice inside his head, but now is not the time to be turning on each other. Abby agrees but Abraham smiles, telling Abby that its obvious why he taking Patrick's side. Abby asks him to explain but Abraham retorts that he sees how they have been looking at each other since they met, his tone becoming harsh. Patrick tells Abraham to take a walk. Abraham picks his shirt up and walks off, seemingly in anger. Patrick sighs, rubbing his forehead, saying the last thing he should be doing is pushing Abraham away. Abby tells Patrick that no one can help him with his struggles. Only he can keep his darkness his check for the time being. Patrick laments not being able to help him. Abby then cuts Patrick's back thigh gently telling him Abraham will manage and that they need to keep training. Patrick smiles and gets back to it

Riley finally wakes up a while later. She sees Aurora alone in her tent while the other Kemiya's are training. Riley walks over and sits in her tent, a huge smile on her face. Aurora is looking through her Grimore, but asks why Riley is smiling. Riley can sense Aurora's joy and the smell of a boy. Aurora can't help but laugh as she turns to Riley, stating how nice it is to finally talk to one of her own kind. Riley says she can relate, being the only wolf in the group. The girls hold each others hands and Riley asks what Aurora has learnt. Aurora takes a moment and holds her hand up and forms a small ball of light. Riley holds her hand up as its bright. Aurora closes her hand, apologising. Aurora then heads outside of her tent with Riley. She leans down and makes a small flower blossom, telling Riley she can command the 4 elements and even light and that Antonio is going to show her how to manipulate darkness. Riley asks if she wants that kind of power. Aurora calms Riley down, saying that it can be handy in certain situations. Riley does agree but tells Aurora to be careful with Antonio as she only did meet him yesterday. Aurora hugs Riley, thanking her for her concern, but she is good. Aurora then tells Riley she needs some sleep as she was up all night. Riley hugs Aurora and tells her she's going for a run on the beach. Aurora heads back into her tent while Riley heads out to the beach

The Hunter slams a wooden stake into a Vampire's heart. He stands and looks around, seeing 4 other dead Vampires in an underground bar. He walks to the bar and takes a drink of a whiskey bottle. Antonio steps out and looks around. The hunter thanks Antonio for the information. Antonio, visibly disturbed, says it was no trouble. The Hunter then looks at Antonio and asks why he gave him this location. Antonio tells him they are Vampires and don't deserve to live. The Hunters admits he feels the same, but also says there were never any reports of Vampire killings in the area, and that he saw a blood bag behind the bar. Antonio asks why it matters, but the Hunter approaches him and grabs his neck pushing him against the wall. He suggests that Antonio wanted this club taken out, so to remove competition from his family's business. Antonio denies this but the Hunter punches him in the gut, causing Antonio to slide to a seated position on the floor. The Hunter leans down and reminds Antonio that he is there to help him destroy evil and not to settle his own personal scores. He stands and asks about the witch. Antonio tells the Hunter he is meeting her on the beach later after sundown. The Hunter asks if the Kemiya will be at the campsite they made. Antonio isn't sure but says the shouldn't be hard to find. The Hunter agrees and leaves the club. Antonio takes a moment to catch his breath before he too stands and leaves, heading out into the street, not knowing someone was watching

Later that night the gang are sitting at the camp after having ate. Abby had left to get some more booze while Riley and the Kemiya's are drinking what was left, but Aurora is still trying to work on her healing power. Abraham asks what she's doing. Aurora tells him she is trying to get her healing to work. Abraham reminds her that Kemiya's don't heal their wounds. Aurora reminds him she's fed him enough healing potions. Abraham also reminds her that he wasn't exactly ever in a position to refuse a healing potion. Riley then asks Aurora if she has somewhere to be. Aurora looks at her watch and quickly scrambles to her feet and rushes out. Abraham asks where she's going, but Riley tells him to calm down and that she's meeting a man. Patrick asks who but Riley replies its someone who is helping her with her magic. Aurora gently jogged along the beach for a bit of a distance, arriving at where Antonio was sitting. He looked up seeing her arrive. He smiles and tells her she's late. She apologises, telling him she still can't get the hang of healing. Antonio tells her not to worry, but does ask if she can summon Darkness. Aurora says she thinks she can. Antonio raises his hand making 4 torches light up around them. He tells Aurora she needs light to show darkness. Aurora looks around, then takes a breath and focuses. She raises her hand as the light from the fire begins to dim, the area around them becoming darker and darker, but slowly. Antonio smiles and takes her hand. He tells her that if she can master Light and Darkness in one day, her healing touch will come soon. Aurora looks up at Antonio, her hand within his. Aurora then thanks Antonio for all she taught him, but then asks why he's been lying to her. Antonio's face drops, asking what she means. Aurora tells him she has good instincts and that ever since she met him she's felt a great unease about him. She walks around him and says that it wasn't a coincidence he came to the same bar she did with her friends. And she noticed a man in the corner. Aurora then explains that Abraham sensed his presence earlier that day near the camp. She further states that Abby saw Antonio leaving a club where 4 Vampires were killed by bullets and stakes, after she saw the same man at the bar where they met. She finally explains that the amulet on his wrist is a suppression amulet and that he is a slave to someone else. Antonio denies knowing any Hunter. Aurora stops and smiles, saying she never directly said that he knew the hunter, but now its confirmed. Antonio steps back, saying he has no choice. Aurora, uses her power to force him to his knees and starts to choke him for a few moments before she releases him. She demands to know what the plan was. Antonio, now with tears in his eyes, tells Aurora he had no choice. Aurora demands to know the plan. Antonio tells her he asked for her to be spared, if the Hunter would kill the Kemiya. That he was planning to strike tonight while she was with him. Aurora turns and looks back at the direction of the camp, and smiles

Abraham and Patrick are still having a few drinks by the fire. Riley is in her tent. Abraham then looks, seeing what appears to be a tube land near the fire. It explodes, giving off a flash of light, causing both Abraham and Patrick to cover their eyes. Riley looks out of her tent, but is met with a kick in the face. The Hunter stands over both Patrick and Abraham as they struggle to regain their vision. The Hunter then kicks Abraham out of the way and kicks Patrick over unto his back. He takes out a knife and presses his knee unto his chest. His amulet glows as Abraham struggles to regain his feet. The Hunter raises his knife but he freezes. His hands begins to shake. He looks down, seeing a blade stuck through his back. He turns, seeing Abby standing behind him with her bronze sword though his chest. She kicks him over, landing on his face. Abby helps Abraham and Patrick up, just as Aurora returns with Antonio, bound by the hands. Abraham admits Aurora's plan was good. Riley steps out of the tent, holding her jaw, saying it didn't work out great her, and curses the Hunters steel toe caps. Abraham approaches Antonio, asking why they shouldn't kill him but Aurora says she has a better idea. Everyone hears a gun shot. Abraham looks  at his chest, seeing blood. Abraham turns to see the Hunter aiming a gun at them. Riley rushes to him, kicking the gun from his hand and punching him in the face. Abraham falls forward but is caught by Patrick and is laid down on his back. He spits out blood. Patrick tells Aurora to heal him. Aurora tells him she can't do it and asks Antonio to do it. Antonio tells her he can't as he is only running at a fraction of his power. Abby asks about her healing potions, but Antonio says they won't work fast enough. Antonio tells Aurora she has to heal him. Aurora takes a moment and nods. She presses her hand to Abraham's chest and focuses. He takes a breath, her hand starting to shake. Antonio takes her hand other hand, telling her to believe. Aurora tries again, the blood slowly starting to draw back into the wound. After a few more seconds, Abraham gasps and shoots up, breathing heavy. He asks what happened. Aurora smiles but slumps to the side. Riley rushes to her, but Aurora says she's ok but she's drained. Abraham looks to Aurora, thanking her. Aurora tells him it's no problem

The next morning, the gang are at the train station. Riley says that another great adventure has been had. Abraham looks at his chest saying he even feels better. He then looks to Aurora, saying even his darkness has gone quiet. Abby suggests maybe she did more than heal his body. Patrick says he should try it sometime. The train arrives and pulls into the station. Antonio suddenly rushes unto the platform, calling Aurora's name. Patrick opens his hand but Aurora tells them all to get on the train and that she'll handle him. All agree as Antonio approaches Aurora, telling her how sorry he is and that he is glad he met her and her friends and that now he is free. Aurora nods, asking if he's learnt a lesson from his ordeal. Antonio admits he has, but Aurora grabs his amulet and chants for a moment. Antonio tries to take it off, but finds he can't. He asks Aurora what she did but she tells him she learnt a lesson too. That trust is like a sheet of paper. Even if you straighten it out, it will never be the same and that he will live a mortal's life. She also holds up Antonio's Grimoire, and thanks him for all he taught her. She steps unto the train as the doors close behind her. Patrick stands in front of her, asking if she's alright. She tells him she's ok but angry. Patrick tells her that is good, and that its better to be angry than sad

**Barcelona**

Fabian is outside of the Bronze Palace, in a dark alley. He is wearing a cloak over his head. He looks up and down the alleyway before a tall, dark man approaches him. Fabian approaches the man, asking if he was followed. The man doesn't answer but Fabian says he is good at killing, and keeping secrets. Fabian then says he has reason to believe Abraham is still alive and that he wants him found, and killed. The man nods, revealing his dark eyes.

(Antonio sets the book down and flicks through the pages before stopping at one page. He then takes her hand)

**Antonio**: "Just relax for a moment. I want to show you something"

(He draws his finger down her hand, gently cutting the skin)

**Aurora:** "Ah...what are you doing?"

**Antonio:** "Relax please"

(Antonio places his hand over hers and focuses. Aurora then feels her skin close up. She looks at her hand seeing its healed. Antonio then does the same to his own hand and holds it out for Aurora)

**Abby:** "Is that the guy you met at the bar?"

**Aurora:** "This is him. And I learnt some new tricks"

**Patrick:** "Interesting"

**Abraham:** "You shouldn't have gone off alone"

**Aurora**: "Calm down. Unlike Kemiya, witches don't go running around killing their own kind"

**Aurora:** "I just find it nice to speak to someone like me"

**Patrick:** "Look Abraham, just leave her be. We should get some training done"

**Hunter:** "You have my word. She is not as harmful, as Kemiya are"

**Antonio:** "You hunt the harmful, and spare the harmless. Can I go?"

(The Hunter nods"

**Aurora:** "Why are you smiling?"

**Riley:** "I can sense you're so happy girl. And I can smell that boy off you"

**Aurora**: "Am I that obvious?"

**Riley**: "I'm a wolf. You can't lie to me"

(Aurora smiles and turns to Riley)

**Aurora:** "Its just so nice to finally talk to another witch"

**Riley:** "Preaching to the choir here darling. What did he teach you?"

(Aurora takes a moment and holds up her hand, forming a ball of light. Riley smiles)

**Riley**: "Very cool"

**Aurora**: "And"

(Aurora reaches outside of the tent and slides her hand over a flower, making it slowly blossom)

**Aurora:** "I can control, earth, water, fire and wind and now light. Antonio says he's going to show me how to control darkness"

**Riley:** "Are you sure you want a power like that?"

**Aurora:** "It could come in handy"

**Riley:** "Just be careful with this guy. I mean...you did just meet him yesterday"

**Riley:** "I love seeing you like this. I'm going to go for a run"

**Hunter:** "Seems you've come in handy again my boy"

**Antonio:** "No problem at all"

**Hunter**: "Looking a little green in the face there. Why bring me here?"

**Antonio:** "Vampires are monsters. They don't deserve to live"

**Hunter:** "Well if you want to get technical...they aren't living. But I do agree with what you say, although...these vampires don't seem to be human killers"

**Antonio:** "What do you mean. They are Vampires"

**Hunter:** "True, but I have never seen any reports of Vampire attacks in this area, not to mention the fridge behind the counter has blood bags in it"

**Antonio:** "Why does this all matter?"

(Hunter grabs Antonio by the neck and pushes him against the wall)

**Hunter:** "It matters, because I think there is an alternative motive for bringing me here. This club is your club's competition. I clean house and reputation is damaged"

**Antonio:** "That's insane!"

(Hunter punches Antonio in the gut. Antonio slides down into a seated position holding his gut)

**Hunter:** "Let me remind you of our deal. You give me information about dangerous creatures, I spare the harmless and law abiding ones. I do not settle your personal scores. Now what is the plan with the witch?"

**Antonio:** "I'm meeting her, on the beach tonight"

**Hunter:** "And the Kemiya?"

**Antonio:** "They should be at the campsite. And if they aren't, I'm sure they won't be hard to find"

**Abraham:** "What are you doing?"

**Aurora:** "Trying to practice this healing ability"

**Abraham:** "Kemiya don't heal their wounds"

**Aurora:** "I think I've fed you a good few healing potions haven't I?"

**Abraham:** "True, but we haven't been in a position to refuse one"

**Riley:** "Don't you have somewhere to be girl?"

**Aurora:** "Oh crap yes!"

**Abraham:** "Where is she going?"

**Riley:** "To meet her friend"

**Patrick**: "That guy she met at the bar?"

**Riley:** "He's the one teaching her new magic"

**Aurora:** "I do thank you for all you've taught me. And that you've been lying to me"

**Antonio:** "What?"

**Aurora:** "I've got very good instincts and ever since I've met you, I've had a very bad vibe about you. I'm not sure if its cause I'm a witch, or because I spent many years enslaved to a man who always knew how to put me at ease"

**Antonio**: "You've got me wrong"

**Aurora:** "Have I? It wasn't coincidence that you met me at the bar after the market"

**Antonio:** "I told you, I did follow you"

**Aurora:** "But it wasn't just to meet me. I saw the a man in the corner of the bar when we met. And Abraham told me he sensed your presence earlier today not far from our campsite. And when Abby was in town, she saw you leaving a club where 4 Vampires were found dead by bullets and stakes. And she saw the same man at the bar, leave the club before you did. And lastly, that amulet on your wrist. Its a suppression bracelet. And that you are a slave "

**Antonio:** "You're wrong about this. I'm not a slave to a Hunter"

**Aurora:** "I never said he was a Hunter"

(Antonio steps back)

**Antonio:** "Please. I...I have no choice"

(Aurora uses her power to force him to his knees and chokes him for a few moments before she releases him)

**Aurora:** "What is the plan?"

**Antonio:** "He's planning to attack the camp. Any moment now. I asked if he could spare you and kill the Kemiyas"

(Aurora smiles)

**Aurora:** "Nothing to worry about then"

**Abraham:** "I will confess, you've shown some brains today Aurora"

**Aurora:** "Compliment accepted"

**Riley:** "Damn steel toe caps"

**Abraham:** "So...why shouldn't we kill him now?"

**Aurora:** "I think I've a better idea"

**Riley:** "So, another town, another great adventure"

**Patrick:** "I've said before we should just accept that trouble finds us, where ever we are"

**Abraham**: "I got to admit. I feel great. Thanks to you"

(Abraham looks at Aurora)

**Abraham:** "Even evil voice inside my head has gone quiet.

**Abby:** "Maybe you healed his soul and body?"

**Patrick:** "Maybe I should try it sometime"

(The Train pulls into the station, but Aurora hears something)

**Antonio:** "Aurora!"

(Patricks turns, his hand open)

**Aurora**: "I'll deal with him"

(The gang get on the train as Antonio comes up to Aurora\_

**Antonio:** "Aurora, please, let me just say. I'm so sorry for what I did. I'm so glad I got to meet you and all your friends. But now...I'm free"

**Aurora:** "I hope you've learnt something from all this"

**Antonio:** "I have"

(Aurora grabs his amulet and closes her eyes, chanting under her breath for a few seconds. Antonio steps back and then tries to take the amulet off but can't)

**Antonio:** "What did you do?"

**Aurora**: "I learnt something too. Trust is like a sheet of paper. Even if you straighten it out, it will never be the same. You are going to live a regular, mortal life now. Oh and um..."

(Aurora takes a large book from her bag)

**Aurora:** "Thanks for this. And all you've taught me"

**Antonio:** "Aurora no!"

(Aurora steps unto the train as the doors close. She turns but almost runs into Patrick)

**Patrick**: "Are you ok?

**Aurora**: "I'm ok. Just angry"

**Patrick**: "Good. Its better to be angry...than sad"

**Fabian**: "Where you followed?"

(Tall man shakes his head)

**Fabian:** "I've heard you're good at killing people and keeping your mouth shut"

(Tall man steps forward)

**Fabian:** "I have reason to believe Abraham Wallman is still alive. I want you to find him if you can...and kill him"
