After the truth about the Sherwood and the Thestral siblings was revealed Lauressa finds it hard to cope to the situation due to the fact that they'd been told not to expose their magic to humans. Later on at the Raeken skyscraper Lorelei becomes frustrated after four thousand dollars goes missing from her purse, her first thought was that she'd misplaced the money however she quickly suspect that Tori-An might have stolen her cash after entering her room and discover cash laying around Lorelei sad on top of Tori-An dresser and patiently waited for her, minutes later she showed up with bruises covered her arms and face Lorelei instantly becomes worried about her sister and pleaded with her to tell her what's going on Tori-An refused to speak and ask Lorelei to leave the room as she exit the room Lorelei turned to face her and whisper to her that she's always gonna be there to protect her and she could come to her anytime she's in trouble before she could finish speak Tori-An slammed her door as Lorelei heads back downstairs. At Aquarius high Cordelia Tori-An Lauressa and Arianna made their way inside Vicky empty classroom where the duo patiently waits Rhydian arrived, while waiting Arianna brings up the topic of Helia and his last words Lauressa soon becomes rather frustrated after waiting too long for him as the duo was about to leave Rhydian showed up and behind him stood Melanie Candace Brooklyn Maelyn Serena Ivanita Josephine and Hardin, the Pack had a short conversation and right as Cordelia stood up to leave they felt how cold the atmosphere had becomes suddenly the window shuts thightly and as Candace try to make a run to the door it abruptly shuts, Rhydian peak out through the window and his heart races fast upon seen a platinum blue hair girl standing with her back facing him he quickly waved the others over and watches her intensely, minutes later she vanishes from their sight, Maelyn then watches as the Thestral and the Sherwood siblings demeanor changes as the girl entered the room. Rhydian didn't hesitate to pull Tori-An behind him as the platinum blue hair girl called Valerie, releases fire from the palm of her left hand Arianna proceeded to step outside the classroom and immediately contacted their home phone, at the Thestral Sherwood home Jaromir wanted to know the reason why Valerie had resurface now. Back at Aquarius high the school bell rang as the students gathered inside the hallway, standing on the stairway Melanie wondered why Rhydian didn't go to Tori-An aid after seen her walking arm in arm with Josephine, after school Maelyn had seen Hardin buying drugs from Capri and immediately confronted him, in Hardin case he wasn't buying the drugs for himself he was doing Tori-An a flavor. That fact that no one realized how hard Tori-An was fighting the urge to feed off drugs. Jaromir wanted to change the course of humanity while Rhydian felt like that's a bit too much. At Charity home Josephine heads inside her room with Maelyn Candace Brooklyn Melanie and Ivanita, the girls were having a conversation when Maelyn accidentally freezes time and squealed the girls becomes excited after seen Maelyn face expression. While downstairs Hardin head began to spin as he hopes every notification he'd received is from Zyaire. At Aisha diner Serena tried to cover her face behind a bouquet of red Roses when Tj notices her gently grabbed her arm as everyone stared at him in suprise, Alessandra who had just enter the diner witness the closeness between the two and with jealousy she walks over towards them and forcefully pulled his hand away from Serena. At the Thestral Academy Kayden after hearing about the eight statues appearing in the tunnel Kayden informed Jaromir that he needs to send his Pack to figure out who's behind the attacks and who's turning people into statues Maelyn told Jazmin that she should go into the tunnel since she's also a witch meanwhile Arianna begged Rhydian to keep Tori-An away from the mission after fearing that she might get hurt. Rhydian wraps his arm around her and whisper to her that he will always protect her. Later on the Pack showed up at the tunnel and together they made their way inside. Upon entering the tunnel Brooklyn grabs Candace hand in fear of the darkness, the Pack slowly made their way deeper inside the tunnel with Hardin Cordelia and Lauressa shining their flashlights, minutes into their search the Pack came across three separate passage way Lauressa quickly decided that they need to go in separate directions to cover more grounds Hardin went with Arianna Tori-An Candace and Rhydian while Serena Melanie and Brooklyn goes in the second passage way with Cordelia leaving Lauressa Josephine Maelyn and Ivanita to head in the other passage way, little did they know danger was ahead of them Hardin team was the first to be attack with the flashlight in his hand Hardin leads his crew into the passage way suddenly they heard loud scraping onto the wall and immediately grabbed each other hand for safety as the scraping stops Tori-An released the walkie talkie from her grip after seen Candace gripping Rhydian shirt anger surge within her as she runs off Rhydian didn't hesitate to go after her, as Rhydian catches up with her they then heard the others screaming and quickly rushes to their aid seen a silhouette lurking in the corner Tori-An immediately uses her sonic scream to distract the creatures while Arianna created another passage way Arianna grabs Candace hand as they all rushes into the new passage way soon they came to a stop after realizing that they're at a dead end. Candace shouts for Tori-An to contact the others by using the walkie talkie however she quickly realized that Tori-An had dropped it earlier, wanting to go back she ask Arianna to cover for her which Tori-An immediately thinks it's a bad idea for Candace, seen that she won't be able to convince her Tori-An decided to go with her suddenly both hers and Candace screams achoed for few minutes before going silent, meanwhile Arianna uses her magic to create a shield around them when Rhydian heard the duo scream which he didn't hesitate to leave the shield suddenly two silhouettes appeared as there screams died down. As Hardin crew walkie talkie disconnected the other two groups panics, right after Hardin crew was attacked Cordelia crew was also attack after been knocked to the ground Cordelia regained consciousness and began to mumbled Lilliana name. Serena eyes glowed bright blue as she witness the three statues abruptly moved from their possession she then hurried to Cordelia aid and together they regroup with Hardin Pack though Maelyn magic wasn't enough to stop the statues however it was enough to sent a message to Lauressa team At the Thestral Sherwood home Jaromir was able to figured out that the statues are weeping angles, and since the Pack in still inside the tunnel the weeping angles will go after them. Despite the fact that he's trying to warned them he wasn't able to reach either of their walkie talkie which immediately sets in panic. Soon the Pack gathered together in the same passage way as Brooklyn observed the statues and finds it hard to believe that they're weeping angles Rhydian then informed them that the statues are creature's from another realm which have the ability to freeze anyone into rocks, luckily Lorelei gotten in contact with Arianna and warned them that the creature's are faster than they thinks she also warned them not to take their eyes off the creature. With her eyes fixed onto the statues Lauressa flipped the flashlight off, that's when Arianna voice abruptly echoed in the tunnel as see witness one of the statue move Lauressa didn't hesitates to shine her light on all of the statues thats when they realized one of the statue had vanishes alongside Melanie and Ivanita, Brooklyn didn't understand why the Creature would take the two Jaromir then told them that the weeping angles won't leave them alive unless the angles needed more bodies, Rhydian blamed himself as the first thing he should have done was to check for vital signs. Suddenly the weeping angles vanishes and began attacking the Pack one after the other Candace managed to escape with Maelyn and convinced her to burst a hole into the tunnel with all her strength Maelyn bursts a hole into the tunnel as the weeping angles went back to been statues Maelyn immediately went to Josephine while Rhydian went to Tori-An aid, Arianna grips Lauressa hand after hearing her mumbling Jace name in a weak tone. Near Ares police station as Tj slowly approaches Akita, she began to trembled in fear and before he could grab her his girlfriend Alessandra sudden presences distracted him which Akita then took the chance to flee.

THE SEALED PODS FOR THE CHARMED TWINS

Around dust Alvaro had transformed into his wolf form, dashing through the woods he then came to a alter and transformed back into his human form before entering. Two pods placed in the center Alvaro stood still for a second as he briefly made his way to the one on the left, staring at the guy sleeping peacefully with a dagger in his chest suddenly he's approached from behind by Val the two stared at one another Alvaro then gave her a nod he watches as Val began chanting a powerful unreversible spell over the two pods however the spell wasn't powerful enough to open both pods the pod facing the felt suddenly opened an Alvaro cautiously towards it he then proceeded to remove the dagger he then slightly tap onto the pod and the two exits the alter not before tossing a blood bag onto the ground smelling the blood the guy leaps from outside the pod with a bloodshot look in his eye hungry he grabs the bag an began drinking. The very next day at Aquarius high the students gathered inside their separate classes, inside Miss Vicky classroom the noises students began rather quiet after hearing loud commotion coming from the parking lot, just as the students were confused a guy wearing a mask proceeded to walk cautiously towards the fire alarm switch with hesitation pushes the switch leaving the students to panic the students accompanied by their teachers were guided outside the parking lot. No one realized that it was a distraction the mask guy slipped back inside and ripped out couple pages from Lauressa spell book, the guy somehow manages to slip back out without been caught he then removed him mask and blended in with the rest of the students taken the opportunity to grab Serena phone. After Lauressa was jogging when she accidentally collided into someone the two falls onto the pavement, the second she looks up her eyes wided as she saw a familiar face, his glowing bright yellow eyes pierced into her eyes filled with terror before she could comprehend to the situation Jace stood up an he's suddenly approached by Alvaro his eyes filled with happiness as he and Jace taunted Lauressa, the first thing she notices was Jace werewolf eyes piercing into her soul, Lauressa slowly turned to Alvaro with a look saying why, realization immediately hits her just as the two dashes off into the woods she watches as his silhouette vanishes.

Back at the Thestral Sherwood home Lauressa showed up with fear in her eyes as she pulled her family into the living room to discuss what she'd seen, that's when Rhydian ask Arianna to check Lauressa bag for the spell book, after finding it she handed it to Jazmin who then proceeded to skip through each pages that's when she realized that several pages had been torned out Justyce knew that the pages are spells to undo a powerful sleeping spell. Upon realizing the truth the siblings were contemplating on whether they should trust the elders or the professor suddenly Naomi appears through the portal after knowing and dropped a bombshell, on the them that Lilliana and Jace had actually arrived on earth in their pods, however the twins didn't actually landed in Sagittarius town their pods had crashed in another town. After Chelsea tapped into the system and used an override app to send the twins pods in separate directions Naomi warned Jaromir that once Lilliana pod is open her powers will began to manifest, Lauressa eyes filled with rage after realizing that they've been lied to. At the meantime Jace and Alvaro had arrived back at the alter where fives witches were awaiting them after handing Val the stolen passes she searches for the one that is use for resurrection upon finding it she tosses the other passes aside. The five witches then proceeded to use the forbidden spells to perform a ritual preparing for the resurrection ceremony Lilliana slowly slowly gathers under the guidance of the alter Val then instructed both Jace and Alvaro to use the ropes to lower Lilliana into the pit filled with water as her entire body is submerged underwater the six witches began chanting while the duo thightly grips the rope, they then patiently waits for her to resurface time passes an when she didn't resurface Jace becomes increasingly worried, just as the ceremony is about to be completed the Thestral and the Sherwood suddenly burst in interrupting the ritual Jazmin an Naomi immediately grabs the ropes trying to pull her up dispite the witches warning suddenly the ropes snapped which set's in panic suddenly Lilliana leaps out from pit and starts attacking them, both Naomi and Niccolò struggled to held her down while the witches chanted over her everything then went blank. Lilliana stood behind Jace as Lauressa with teary-eyed begged her sister to come towards her the second Lilliana moved from behind Jace. Jazmin accidentally strikes him with her magic after he'd jumps in front of Lilliana to shield her, she then leap towards Jazmin pining her against the wall Rhydian and Jaromir immediately intervened trying to pull Lilliana off of their aunt, and with one swift move she knocked them to the ground Arianna rushes to Jaromir aid as he coughs out blood flames suddenly surrounded Lilliana as Jazmin struggled to loosen her grip, a strange glow emerged from her body Lauressa then felt a strange glow and leaps towards her sister and render her unconscious with a magical needle her eyes locked in with Cordelia as Niccolò carried the unconscious Lilliana to the car they didn't notice how his face expression changes as he realized that someone was going to die, and with Kyllian instructions Rhydian guided Alvaro and Jace to the Thestral Sherwood home. At the Thestral Sherwood home Tori-An and Serena waited patiently for the siblings arrival, after hearing someone repeatedly knocking Serena gaze at Tori-An with an irritated look across her face as the two slowly creeps towards the door, hearing Lorelei voice calling out Tori-An name Serena immediately opened the door and was surprised to see that the guy Tori-An had recently talks about is now standing right in front of them Tori-An jumps into Alvaro arms with excitement, a sudden poster of Katana was seen laying on top of the table next to Serena, upon entering the house Jace sees the poster and notices the similarities between his twin sister and Katana, seen the poster his hand Alvaro whispered to him that Katana is Lilliana doppelganger. The very next morning the training ground Kyllian warmly welcomed Lilliana Jace and Alvaro to the Pack, Arianna notices how Ivanita couldn't take her eyes off Jace meantime at Aisha diner Tj along with his colleagues and his girlfriend Alessandra showed up and take their usual seats. Alessandra couldn't help but notice the way her boyfriend Tj couldn't keep his eyes off the new girl, his eyes keeps following her around, which Serena soon notices and turned to gave him a bright smile. Serena in a slight remarks made it clear to everyone that Lilliana is off limits which Tj wasn't pleased to hear. The next morning at the Raeken skyscraper Lilliana becomes irritated by Tori-An voice and stood up to leave however Alvaro intentionally put in foot in the way attempting to stop her from leaving. Seen Ivanita crying Jace attempts to shield her behind him as soon as the others walks in. Back at the Thestral Sherwood home Justyce realized that Lilliana had learnt one of the most dangerous spell of all witchcraft.

THE DAMAGE HE LEAVES BEHIND 

The Thestral's an Sherwood's were ecstatic after the arrival of Lilliana and Jace Thestral. Jazmin warned the siblings that magic shouldn't be used for their personal games or there will be consequences. The elders was informed by Amy that the Thestral twins Jace and Lilliana had arrived on earth, a member of the witches councilor Eiran had gave Jaromir a specific warning that Lilliana pod shouldn't be opened as it posed great danger. At the Thestral Academy four trained super humans Emris Tieran Malakai and Reign traveled through the portal to earth after receiving specific orders to bring the twins back. After the sleeping spell Lilliana was place under had been lifted Eiran warned them that there will be a heavy price to pay. At Aquarius high all heads turns the second the twins Lilliana and Jace made their way through the hallway Lilliana striking resemblance to Kanata and Jace handsome features made the students and the teachers fumbled over them. At the meantime Charity had takes the Alysson and the Orlando siblings to a fancy restaurant when all of a sudden Hardin heart began beating at a rapid speed he clenched his chest as his eyes filled with tears from the unbearable pain Charity was quick to notice his distraught and hurried to his side then out of nowhere he began to cough out blood. Hardin was immediately brought to brought to Gemini hospital for treatment, in a panic Josephine called both Brooklyn and Maelyn and informed them of Hardin situation the duo then immediately called the others the Pack then meets up in Hardin hospital room pacing back and fourth with panic and fear across their faces the Alysson and the Orlando siblings made a shocking discovery. After the nurse Lena informed them that Hardin had several blows to his head and his lower abdomen, Josephine knew that the abuse Hardin had received from Isaac over the years had causes a minor damage. The colour drained from their face after seen Hardin lying motionless in the hospital bed, as the beeper went off Melanie screams out his name while Josephine tried to hold back her tears. And in order to save him Rhydian had convinced Lauressa to use her magic to save him, without thinking twice Lauressa took out a magical needle and stabbed it into Hardin chest then proceeded to trace her finger across his chest, after doing so an invisible green energy swiftly poured into his body Hardin immediately opened his eyes and began coughing up the clotted blood that was blocking his airway Lauressa joins hands with Arianna and began chanting a powerful spell the magic the duo chanted was able to extend Hardin life give him more time to live after the casting of the spell the duo collapse onto the ground, as the spell was way too powerful which drained their energy. At midnight Lilliana accompanied her brother Jace to meet Alvaro when suddenly their vehicle nearly collided into another car luckily he reacted in time to evade the attack Lilliana stared at him as they soon realized that they're been followed the car nearly drove the two off the road suddenly as Jace tried to evade another car he accidentally collided into a tree the two immediately blocked out, soon the siblings regained consciousness. That's when a car approaches them the headlights were so bright that both siblings were blinded by the bright light, the car doors suddenly opened though it was still too bright to see much of anything Jace was able to make out the dark outline of four silhouettes emerging from the light, one of the silhouettes came up to his window and slammed his fist into the window shattering it, he then attempted to pulled off the door with his strength Jace watches as one of the silhouettes went behind the glaring lights shuffling around with something in the car for a few moments before he came back out he then made his way back to Jace car but in that moment before he reaches the car Jace caught a glimpse of a taser just as he reacted and put Lauressa on speed dial the four mask figures removed the car doors then proceeded to dragged them both from the car. Slamming Jace onto the hood of the car the four mask figures introduced themselves as Emris Tieran Malakai and Reign students from the Thestral Academy. Tieran gently grabs Lilliana arm forcing her to watches as they beats Jace, Jace instantly retaliate an began attacking Malakai, Emris stepped in a kicks him to the ground. Emris has the ability to hydrokinesis Malakai ability is teleported Tieran has the ability to transform into metal Reign with the ability to create portals. Jace then spot out blood from his mouth he then glanced over at Tirana an proceeded to call him a coward. Jace words immediately increases anger in Tieran, he then takes out his anger onto Lilliana slapping her across her face, watching Lilliana been beaten Jace couldn't hold back any longer and made a move under his counterattack and both Tieran and Malakai were defeated easily. Reign still lend against the hood of his car applaud Jace while his eyes pierced into Lilliana soul Emris angrily turned to Jace an uses his powers to knock him onto the ground an shouted for both Tieran and Malakai to stand up. Under his commandment they both stood up an walk towards him feelings exhausted Lilliana fell to her knees facing Reign, he then proceeded to walk cautiously towards her an gently raises her chin up upwards facing him inches away from her face Reign gently wipes the tears from her eyes he then whispered something in her ears as her eyes went wide with suprise. Reign is the best student at the Thestral Academy he is very skillful, though he's born from the professor failed experiment he tends to act more like a human than a metahuman. Dispite the fact that the someone was modified their movements so that they couldn't become humans Reign is more different. The Thestral's an Sherwood's siblings eyes began glowing and suddenly they appeared to the twins location alongside Alvaro, Lauressa and the other super humans joined forces to protect her siblings, Lauressa uses her fire bast to attack the students however they immediately retaliated detecting her movements and immediately overpowered her seen that, Arianna uses her ice powers as the students seemed to stand still in her eyes Arianna walked through the battlefield and defeated Tieran suddenly a shot of anesthetic came through and she fell onto the ground. Cordelia and Rhydian switches to their vampire form and began attacking them however the students launched a special wirenet to catch them both at the same time Alvaro had transformed into his true form and began smashing through the protective shield which sends out a powerful shockwave Emris then takes over the battlefield rushing towards Alvaro and with a single blow he sends him crashing into the ground. Emris uses his hydrokinesis ability to remove the water from Rhydian making him dehydrated, he then turned to Cordelia and drained the water from her body Cordelia face becomes pale as she passes away from dehydration after he'd killed both siblings her turned to the other six Jaromir Alvaro Jace Lauressa Arianna and Lilliana. To separate the six Malakai teleported an pushes Alvaro in front of Tieran, Tieran first reaction was to turn into a metahuman and pulled her Alvaro intestines, Jace howls him horror while the super humans regroup the second Tieran repeatedly stabbed Cordelia as Arianna screams out her name in pain, tears filled her eyes as she kneeled down beside Cordelia dead body Lilliana summoned darkness around herself and uses her flyrokinesis to manipulate energy and create energy field. She the uses force field to trap the four students inside Arianna and Lauressa standing near her with their eyes glowing conjured up a dark spell to erase the time-line. Suddenly they releases hands and collaspes onto the cold road with purple aura emerging from them.
