Sasha kneels beside Isabelle as Anaya undoes the protection spell created by Valentina. Once the barrier is broken the younger brunette pulls the girl's body closer to hers and checks her vitals.
- Mother. - draws the attention of the older brunette who was looking around. - I don't think I'll be useful here, I can't feel her vital signs. -she says and her mother squats down quickly.
- I got it. - says the eldest reciting a more precise spell.
- She's alive isn't she? -Sasha asks distressed and her mother says nothing.
- I can't say anything yet dear. - responds seeing Henry and Jensen approach with a weaker Nick more conscious.
- Nick, are you okay? - asks Sasha and he nods.
- I'm just feeling a little dizzy, what happened? - he asks confused seeing his sister unconscious.
- Don't you remember? - Asks the brunette and he denies it.
- I just remember being with Anne and at her house, we were having a drink that she learned and then I woke up with Henry and Jensen calling me. - he answers confused looking around and his eyes stop on Anne and Sarah further away fighting each other, further on, almost entering the forest he sees Valentina and his blue eyes are wide when he notices the lora's opponent and none other than Carter Mason .
It makes him think of what was happening there in front of her as Sasha silently examined the wound on her shoulder noting that there was no trace of poison in her body, just something unknown that dulled her senses. With that the brunette concludes that Nick was not on Anne's murder list, only Izzy was the target.
- Daughter, I need you here. - says Anaya catching the attention of the youngest.
- What there was ? - He asks crouching down beside his mother.
- The spell is not working, the poison has spread too fast. - He responds turning the redhead's body.
- Does that mean that her vampire side will be activated? - he asks and his mother nods.
- But we can't let that happen. - He responds by concentrating a large amount of magic in the middle of the sleeping girl's back. - Her werewolf side is already in the process of activation. - complete and the younger brunette understands her mother's concern.
- If both are activated at the same time without her having control of her abilities in her natural form, we will lose her isn't it? - asks Sasha and her mother nods.
- How can we lose her? asks Nick nervously.
- Remember when Valentina saved Izzy and Sarah? - Sasha asks and he nods. - Do you remember how her face turned out? - She asks again and he nods again. - That day she had to deal with her vampire and werewolf side at the same time, it's not often that happens, but people with great skills and physical capabilities like her and our little Izzy have something in common. - complete looking at his mother.
- What do they have in common ? - Asks the blonde looking at his sister.
- That day Valentina controlled three sides of her, vampire, werewolf and witch at once, none of us can master these three at once and at the same time as she did. That's what she and Izzy have in common, mastering three or more sides at once. - Answers Sasha.
- But Izzy didn't have the training that Valentina had, she wouldn't know how to deal with it now and it could be exhausting for her body and her mind. - Anaya says and then presses a point on the redhead's rib making her wake up screaming.
Almost inside the forest, Valentina heard the girl's scream hurt her eardrums to the point of bleeding and she fell to her knees, putting her hands to her ears. Her heart sped up absurdly causing an agonizing pain in her chest and Carter saw this as an opportunity to hit the blonde with the poison arrow squarely in the heart. Without a second thought he grabbed the arrow he was keeping hidden and prepared to deliver the merciless blow.
Meanwhile Isabelle regains consciousness feeling her bones break one by one in agonizing pain as Anaya and Sasha use their magic to keep the girl down.
- What is happening ? - asks Nick.
-I used ancient and forbidden magic to stem the awakening of her vampire side and accelerate her werewolf transformation process. - Answers Ana.
- Mom, you can be arrested and sentenced to death for that. - Sasha says and the older one smiles.
- Don't worry honey, it doesn't matter now, just keep Izzy out of harm's way and most importantly. - says and the youngest nods.
- Why is this magic forbidden? - asks Jensen curiously.
- It used to be used by our clan in battle to save dying soldiers to increase the victory advantage, but some time later the saved soldiers became a problem due to emotional lack of control and lack of obedience, so this spell was banned for not be trusted. - Answers Ana.
- So she runs that risk? - asks Henry worried and the woman shrugs.
- Hope not. - responds calmly.
The younger ones don't respond, just stand back and watch the witches struggle to keep the girl stabilized during the transformation. Further ahead Sarah looks sideways analyzing the situation of her best friend is a strange feeling coming from the forest makes her nervous, but she does not divert her attention from the traitor redhead in front of her who took a deep breath tired.
- You're not staying with him. - Says the redhead and the other rolls her eyes.
- I don't want to be with him, I'm fine being happy with myself, that doesn't mean I don't love him, it just means that I discovered the pleasure of being enough for myself to the point of loving someone being aware of that I don't need that person with me to be happy. - says Sarah seriously. - Happiness is in feeling good about yourself, in waking up and not feeling empty and confused, because you know who you are, you know what you want. - Completely thoughtful.
- What bullshit. - says Anne irritated.
- Maybe it is, maybe not, let's just say I'm not going to let you live to find out about this sausage-water ink dump. - She says starting at the redhead.
Anne waits for her to approach making sure it would be another normal attack, but the brunette surprises her by turning into a werewolf, digging her sharp claws into the redhead's chest, but without fatally hitting her heart, after all she had a promise to keep. , the redhead falls to her knees on the floor spitting blood while the brunette slowly returns to her normal form.
- Now I'll keep my word. -Sarah says smiling.
Back in the woods where Carter ran to hit the blonde who was shaking and sounding like a burning sensation in her neck that only got worse with each scream from Isabelle. Carter drives the arrow into the girl's chest, smiling with happiness, making sure that he ended up with the heir of the Orion clan.
-You are nothing like your mother said, the strong and unstoppable warrior is actually a weak little girl who lets her emotions speak louder leading her to death, but does she know what else makes me happy? - He says savoring every word that comes out of his mouth as he pushed the arrow even more making the blonde spit blood. "To know that I killed you, the scum your mother came from and disowned so much after getting a good place in the elite and who will destroy her daughter and the future of that filthy clan. - complete and the blonde laughs.
The girl laughs as if she is having a laugh and he pushes the arrow further, but is confused to see the arrow jam and then the girl lifts her head to face him revealing dark eyes and a strange mark on her neck that seemed to catch fire. Without saying anything the blonde gets up holding the man's hand who looked scared, she squeezes his hand so hard that all her bones break making him scream. With her free hand she pulls out the poisoned arrow and breaks it in half.
- You know what's more pathetic? she asks, smiling devilishly at him. - You were going to kill me with a poisoned arrow in the heart, only I'm not a complete vampire yet, so it takes me a while to heal, I only have my werewolf side active, if I had hit that arrow in my heart you would make me one please speed up the process, but you're so useless that even that didn't work. - completes throwing him against a tree with such force that the bones of his spine are broken.
- What kind of freak are you? - he asks spitting blood non-stop.
- I'm not sure yet, but you won't live to find out. -she answers looking at him and in a matter of seconds she appears in front of him.
She cuts his belly from chest to abdomen opening it up like a pig, he screams nonstop as she starts ripping out each of his organs one by one until he dies. When she heard the last breath she looked at his body and then walked out towards Isabelle, in a matter of seconds she appeared in front of Anaya scaring her, without saying anything she touched the forehead of the redhead who turned into a werewolf, the blonde she didn't take her hand away from her forehead and it took a few seconds for the redhead to return to her normal form and then the blonde to fall on top of her completely out of breath.
- What brand is this? - asks Sasha scared.
- Brand ? Are you worried about the brand? - asks Jensen alarmed. - Didn't you see her eyes? It felt like I was seeing a sketch of the devil in front of me. - Complete with a deep breath.
- I don't even know what to say. - says Henry thoughtfully.
- They are fine ? - Nick asks Anaya who nods.
-I think Valentina advanced Izzy's transformation process somehow, but it was too much for her body and she blacked out. - responds analyzing everything.
- And the eyes is that mark on the neck? - asks Jensen.
- I have no idea. - Answers Ana. - Take them inside, I'll take care of the bodies and Sarah, stop cutting the girl's hair and putting it in unpleasant places. - completes standing up and Sarah drops the scissors annoyed.
- Damn, just needed to put it in the most important place. - grumbles the annoyed brunette.
So what brand was that?
What happened to Valentina?
Where did so much power come from?

*Some hours later.
Pov. Valentina
I hear a noise in the hallway and I open my eyes too fast, I close them again and then I open them slowly to get used to the light, when I manage to keep them open longer I look around noticing that I am in my room, I get up slowly feeling my body heavy and then I hear the door open and Sasha enter the room.
- You woke up. - He says excitedly and I smile weakly.
- Where is Isabelle? - I ask with my voice totally hoarse and the brunette laughs.
- Calm down, voice of a Paraguayan radio announcer. - she replies amused and I roll my eyes doing some vocal exercises to normalize my voice faster. - She's fine, thanks to you. - she says and I deny it.
- You took care of her. - I say and she smiles.
- Yes, but if you hadn't arrived at that time it's... - I interrupt her confused.
- What time ? - I ask and she gets confused.
- Do not you remember ? - he asks and I deny it.
- Things are a little confused in my head, I only remember killing Carter, but I don't remember exactly what I did with him, the memories are distorted. - I answer and she nods.
- I think you'll need to rest for a few days. - she says and I get up feeling a little dizzy and my legs fail and she runs to help me. - Don't strain, Valentina. -She asks worried and I deny it.
- Take me to Isabelle, I need to make sure she's okay. - I ask and she sighs, but nods.
She leads me to the guest room opposite mine and then opens the door and helps me in, I see Isabelle awake being fed by Nick, she smiles at me and I just stare at her relieved.
- Sit here stubborn. she asks, knocking on the empty space of the bed next to her and Sasha helps me to go there.
- Stubborn is my first nickname. - I say and she takes the plate from Nick's hand and then fills the spoon and brings it to my mouth. - I'm not hungry. - I say and she doesn't back down.
- Eat right before I shove that spoon down your throat. - threatens and I eat.
- I can sue you for coercion, you know? - I ask mockingly and she smiles.
- And I can keep you in prison for the rest of your life, then I want to see you have the chance to sue me. - responds in the same tone.
Very smart.
I like that about her.
She always has an answer ready.
- I think I need to change my bandage. - Nick says looking at Sasha who nods smiling.
- Sure, come on my patient. - Sasha says leaving the room along with the blonde and I look at Isabelle who was already looking at me.
- Crazy. - we talked together and laughed.
- You don't get tired of being my personal hero, don't you? - Fun question and I shrug.
- I'm the Super Girl, so you're my Lena Luthor. - I answer and she makes a face.
- I haven't finished all the seasons of Super Girl, actually I don't remember if I finished the second one, but I didn't see anything about them being a couple. - she says thoughtfully and then smiles. - But I'll accept, because who wouldn't want her to stay with Lena, right? - she says and I shake my head smiling.
We were silent for a while just staring at each other until she put the plate on the nightstand and looked at me seriously.
- About what Carter said, it's not true, he was never my love, maybe a school crush, but we didn't have anything serious, we just hooked up a few times. - I say I look away from her not knowing what to say.
- I don't know what to say Isabelle. I say and she bites her lip.
- Valen, I wanted that kiss, I ran away out of fear, you arrived so fast and you fit in so well and fast in my life that I was scared, not to mention that I have no experience with girls, I don't know how to act. - she says and I look at her seriously. - I wish I could change my reaction that day, but I can't, I didn't want to upset you, I swear. -she completes with teary eyes and I hug her.
- Don't worry, we're fine now. - I say letting her cry clinging to me.
- Try me then. -she asks softly and I move her body away from mine.
- As ? - I ask and she puts her hand on the back of my neck and then kisses me.
I stand still for a few seconds with her lips on mine, but I wake up and take my left hand to her waist and my right to the back of her neck, placing my fingers between her hair and then I move my lips slowly and calmly, a kiss slow that makes me feel a different sensation from the other times I kissed a girl. I pull her body closer to mine and she sighs as I swallow hard watching her bite her lips with her eyes closed, when she opens them, the green spheres seem to mesmerize me in a way that I can't take my eyes off hers.
- Will you sleep with me, please? She asks and I just nod.
I lie down pulling her body against mine feeling a strange feeling taking over my insides, a kind of confused emotion, I look at Isabelle who was looking at me and she smiles at me, I just caress her face seeing her close her eyes looking relaxed while I I felt trapped in a crazy bubble of confused sensations.
Is she feeling the same?
What is this feeling?
I feel weird.
