## Plot

**AUGUST 2024**
**WATER REALM**

Our lives had dramatically changed within the last 2 years, everything had changed around us. Caroline and I had recently moved to Iqotaura after graduating from the Academy. I was enjoying my life with her, I just had a feeling that she was hiding something from me, as we chilled in her mother’s house, she sat down next to me and gave me a kiss.

“Dee, I’ve been lying to you. There’s something you need to know” Caroline replies

“What is it, Carol?” I ask her calmly, holding her hand.

I look over at Caroline, as she looks tensely at me, “I’m a siren.”

“You mean a mermaid?” I ask her before she cuts me off.

“No. Not quite. Sirens are mermaids, yes, but they have a blood lust, and often use a captivating singing voice to lure men to their presence. In the olden days, Sirens used their voices on the shores of beaches to kill men, it’s pretty gruesome” Caroline replies, “And I am a descendant of the late Emily Carlisle and I..” Caroline finishes, but before she continues, I cut her off.

“Sorry for cutting you off, but you’re a descendant of the Killer of Crows?” I reply, “So your grandmother must be the Queen?”

“She was the Queen of the Iqotaura until she was killed by supernatural hunters 30 years ago” Caroline replies bitterly, “The hunters have changed over time, once Queen Seraphina came to revaluate Iqotauara -'' Caroline stopped in her tracks, as I interrupted her for a second.

“Sorry, I don’t know much about magic royalty, did Carlisle have any monarchs,”  I ask, Caroline nods

“No, Iqotaura and Yeoticia were the only two realms to have monarchs. But what I was saying is that Queen Seraphina came and reevaluate the entire realm. Her reign changed the Hunters for the better, she made it illegal for the hunters to kill and capture other Supernaturals, but now using their powers for good and capturing evil and rogue Supernaturals”

“Stellrich is where criminal Supernaturals go, right? That’s what Piper said to me” I reply.

“You’re correct, only the hunters and hemakentics have access to Stellrich, but more commonly known as the Blood Realm. The Hunters often banish people to the realm, for committing heinous crimes against the Meta-Magical Council”

I just nod and hug her, “So, if you’re the descendant of Lady Carlisle, wouldn't you have inherited some of her abilities?”

“Well, on some level, I did, but not to a full extent” Caroline replies, as she finishes talking and starts cuddling up to me, “Hey, Dee. Do you miss your friends?”

“Of course, my love. I miss them every day, it pains me to be away from them for so long, I hate not being able to see them for long periods, of time” I say, but before I continue, my phone rings, I look at the number and ignore it.

“Who is it?” Caroline asks.

“I don’t know, probably some spam caller” I reply, as Caroline and I continue to cuddle, my phone rings again, slightly annoyed, I pick it up

“Dina speaking?”

“Di, this is Gabriella. I need your help”

“Gabs, what do you need? We haven’t spoken in 2 years and I-”

“Dee, please just focus for a second! It’s happening again!!

“Gabs, what’s happening?”

“Remember, Erin’s murder spree, it’s happening in Aberdeen. You need to come here now!”

The call ends

“Who was that?” Caroline asks.

“It was Gabriella, she needs our help and we-” I reply, but before I could continue, the door broke down and some…

“Shriekers!” Caroline replies, I look over at Caroline suspiciously. But before I could talk to her, Caroline appears with a gun.

“Di! Look out” Caroline replies, before I duck behind Caroline and almost get bitten by a shrieker, it was shot dead, I stepped back, and looked at her.

“What was that?!!” I ask loudly.

“Please, Di, you need to listen to me. We’re in danger, I saw this coming from a mile away, please we need to go now” Caroline replies, as she starts to exit, I grab her hand tightly.

“NO! You need to explain to me what is going on?!” I reply, “What are ‘Shriekers’?”

“There’s a lot you need to know about them, once we’re safe, I’ll explain more to you late-”

Then a swarm of Shriekers barged through the windows and doors, one of them eying Caroline, “Car! Stand back!”

As I step forward, I grab a nearby knife and stabbed the nearby shrieker, throwing its body outside the window, I relax on the kitchen ground, breathing slightly.

“Are you okay?” Caroline asks me, “You seem frazzled to me?”

“I..I... don’t know, but you’ve lied about so much, I just don’t know if I could trust you, Car?”I reply, slightly sobbing.

“What are you saying, Dina? Are you…”Caroline replies, slightly crying, I grab a hold of her hand, caressing it softly and tenderly

“Carol, you need to be honest with me about everything. I'm here to support you, I’ve told you about my sexual assault and my mother dying. It’s time you told me the truth about who you truly are. You’ve told me snippets but I would like to know-” I was cut off before I could finish my sentence, I heard a loud and ear-piercing noise, it was one of those Shriekers.

But this one, it looked vaguely familiar, I couldn’t see what it was, or who it was, for that matter…Oh… My… God!!

“Mum?!” Caroline replies while edging slightly towards the undead shrieker.

“Carol... Please. Don’t move forward, just stay still” I finish my sentence before grabbing a knife and throwing it into the stomach of Caroline’s mum, she falls backwards as I comfort her.

“Carol, what do you want to do?” I ask, Caroline doesn’t respond as she grabs the knife and walks slowly to her mother

Caroline starts crying softly, “I’m sorry…”, she grabs her mother’s neck and breaks it softly, with the body slumping down onto the floor, she rushes over to me and sits down on the kitchen floor.

“Okay.. phew… I’m done” Caroline replies, out of breath.

“What were those things?” I ask

“Those are Shriekers, they can be created through dark magic and people can be turned into Shriekers like mindless people. The only way Shriekers can be killed is by incineration, decapitation or evaporation using magic. Not every supernatural is able to conjure them, I’ve only heard of one powerful entity, called Mirror is able to conjure them” Caroline replies, looking over at my sombre expression, “Sorry, if this is a lot, I thought you might need some truths from me.”

“I’m fine, this is good. I like learning more about this world. But what of Gabriella? She needs us there…” I ask, looking over at Caroline, “Should we go?”

“If Erin is causing chaos again, then we’ll-” Caroline replies, but I cut her off

“Erin was banished to Stellrich 2 years ago, and Stellrich is impossible to escape, so it just can’t be here killing people, it just doesn’t work out…” I reply, “But if Erin isn’t the one killing people, who is?”

I look at Caroline and decide what we are going to do, “Come on Car. Let’s go, our friends need us.”

I grab Caroline’s hand as we teleport away to Aberdeen, we end at the crime scene in the town centre, I walk up to an officer

“Excuse me, I-” I ask the officer before being cut off.

“Move along! Nothing to see here” the officer replies, before walking away, I look at the body bags, there were 5 students. Caroline and I walk away before my shoulder is tapped on by someone, I turned around to see Gabriella, and I hugged her.

“Gabi!” I reply.

“Dina, Caroline, how are you both?” Gabriella asks us.

“I’m okay. How are you, Gabbie, really?” I ask her, she breathes in slowly.

“I’m…. reeling from the breakup, Dee. I don’t know how I’m going to handle it, and the worst part is that they lied to me! They weren’t supernatural at all!”.

“What.. what are you saying?” I ask intrigued.

“Jaylen. They weren’t supernatural, they had no powers! They told me that Erin had absorbed them one day, but she spared him because of me, and that’s why we broke up because they lost their powers... If I ever see Erin, I’ll tear her a new one!!” Gabriella says, I grab her hand.

“Shush, it’s okay, Gabi. This scene is making me tense, we can go to where you’re staying. That’s where the others are, right?” I question.

“Yes, follow me,” Gabriella replies, she started to walk away while we follow her to an alleyway, as a shadow portal opens, I grab Caroline’s hand as we step into it, revealing its opening in a majestic dining room space

“Dina!” I hear my name being called by everyone in the room, as my best friends hug me. I feel so relieved that I’m with my friends, Gabriella interrupts us

“Hey, everyone. I’m glad all of you could come from your respective realms, we have a huge problem on our hands! 15 students have been found dead in a variety of ways over the last month, I’ve been investigating a lot into it and there’s a link between most of the victims” Gabriella says

“Which is?” Lyra asks

“Most of them have originated from half-blooded families and a few from Stellrich” Gabriella replies

“People can be born there?” Brooklyn asks.

“Yes, because that’s where I was born.” Piper states, “I know it may seem like I’m not on your side anymore, but I am! And I still have connections in the police force, so if we need to investigate anything suspicious, we can do it with my help”

“This is good. If this individual has been killing and absorbing students’ powers here for their master plan, then we do the same” Gabriella replies

“Killing? We shouldn’t kill people” I reply, Gabriella softly laughs.

“No, no, of course, Di. We need to catch this person off guard first, then we’ll see what they are capable of. We beat the Daughters so we can do this, right?” Gabriella asks

“Not to bring down this plan, but some of us aren’t still mentally ready for another conflict, Gabi. Lyra and Sky are both still reeling from their individual ordeals. The thing is Gabi, we’re not ready…”
