## Summary

Everyone begins their journey over to East Thornvale. Sammie paces back and forth on the ferry. Bjorn asks Dallas, the witch they've captured, some questions about their plan, and Dallas assures them Sammie is the only thing Jadis cares about, she won't question it too much when Dallas takes her in. Bjorn admits to Sammie that he doesn't like this plan and that it's not something he'd normally do. Bjorn asks Dallas if there's anything else they can do and Dallas says it'll be more convincing if Sammie looks like she's been roughed up. Dallas casts a spell on her to make Sammie look beaten and bloodied.

Bjorn questions Dallas on what she'll do once she's free. Dallas says that she'll probably move to California as there are lots of witches there. Bjorn asks if there's anything he can do to convince her to stop being a witch, and Dallas says she's happy being powerful and forever young.

They arrive on the island and then drive as close as they can to the forest. The H.U.N.T.E.R. and Dragon Knight groups go to their meetup location and Henry goes with them. Bjorn turns invisible and gets ready to follow Sammie and Dallas. Sammie asks Dallas if she needs to bind her and Dallas uses magic to pull a branch off a tree and tie it tightly around Sammie's wrists. The branch twists and winds up around Sammie's neck and gags her as well.

As they get closer, Dallas silently motions at their feet at a trap along the ground made of a line of red runes. Bjorn dodges the trap and they reach the perimeter of the camp. One of the guards stops them and is surprised to see Dallas. Dallas explains that she hunted down Sammie and the guard starts to walk them toward the large tent in the middle. Everyone in the camp watches her, looking at her with an expression of hunger. Sammie is shoved into the tent and is now face-to-face with Jadis.

The inside of the tent is mostly empty except for a large desk with a chair. She leans across the desk and asks Dallas how she found Sammie. Dallas makes up a lie about how Sammie got hurt and fell out of the sky. Jadis grabs a long, black knife. She walks up to Dallas and holds it to her cheek and asks Dallas if that's exactly what happened. Dallas nods and Jadis seems to believe her. Jadis tells Dallas that she'll be one of the first to taste their 'bounty' and dismisses her. Dallas leaves the tent.

Jadis begins to circle Sammie. She touches Sammie's shoulder and freezes Sammie in place, she can't even move her eyes. She presses her knife into Sammie's back and tells her she's been waiting 23 years to find her. Jadis digs the knife tip into Sammie's skin and then pulls it out. She walks in front of Sammie and licks the blood from the blade. Jadis' eyes flash with a bright green energy and she seems to stand a little taller. She laughs and then unfreezes Sammie. Jadis and the guards begin to usher Sammie out to the ritual circle.

As they walk to the ritual circle, which seems to be constructed from black sand, the witches in the camp follow them. Some begin to grab large jugs filled with the same black sand and prepare to start the ceremony. Jadis places Sammie at the center of the circle, turns to speak, and then a hailstorm of bullets rains down from the trees around the camp.
