Finally Sam found herself managing to make a decent headway on her drive, but even then it was painstaking for her emotionally. By the time she got around ten minutes away, she sent John a message to state as such so he knew to be prepared to move when she got there. "please be okay guys... I can't lose Kay again..." she muttered to herself as she continued driving to the abandoned area where they were.

John saw her pull up and stood up, waving at her. When she got out he said “still waiting on Serena. Kay is alright. Let’s get her in the car then I’ll go back for…” then they heard steps and John turned.

Serena walked out of the tunnel, looking like a hero out of comics with the shadows wrapping around her. Her eyes were still glowing as she walked up towards them. She looked up and said “his dealt with…”

Sam saw where John was and instantly pulled up by them, getting out the car but kept the engine running. Shhe saw how Kay was still out cold and wondered what happened to make her sister pass out, but she wasn't going to ask as now wasn't the time to delve into that. She nodded at John's comments, when they saw Serena walking out behind them.

Sam gasped seeing Serena looking the way she did, the realisation that everything that was spoken about and she had previously witnessed really was a reality, not a dream. "okay, I don't wanna know how, let's just get the hell outta here. This ain't the safest place to be" she explained, jogging over to John to help him carry Kay over to the car and opened the backseat doors for him. "get in, Serena you can get in the front with me." she explained, figuring John would want to stay with Kay in the backseat.

Not only that she would be happier if he was with Kay to keep her updated on Kay's state. "John if Kay's state changes please tell me" she then added, looking at him with pleading eyes.

John nodded as he jumped in to help lay Lay down. Serena nodded shortly and got In the front with Sam as they all jumped in and drove out of there. John kept an eye on Kay and said “thank you Sam…for finding us”

Sam jumped into the driver's side once she was happy everyone else was safely in the car and started driving out, back to her home. She glanced at John through her rear view mirror and gave him a small smile. "I'm not gonna leave you out somewhere you don't know" she replied before looking back at the road.

Kay laid on John's lap in the back, out cold but she soon began to shake and fit as her aura continued to heal Fee in her soul. Sparks of non lethal flames sparked between her fingertips and on the ends of her hair. Sam glanced behind her and then straight backs t the road, "what's going on?!" she asked.

John cursed and said “she’s healing Fee. Keep going its alright” he moved his hand to magic contain the sparks. Serena was holding her head, looking off as she closed her eyes.

Sam nodded and kept driving, her fingers digging into the steering wheel as she drove. She hated seeing in her rear view Kay fitting, but she was tha kful for John being able to contain it to some degree. "we're about 20 minutes away from home, are you all gonna be able to hold out?" she asked, seeing how Serena was being effected somehow also. "Serena, how you doing?" she asked.

Kay kept fitting and sparking in the backseat, her body convulsing as she did so, almost contorting in the process.

John pinned her down and said “Serena love I need your shadows back here” Serena opened her eyes which were still silver. She nodded and weakly waved a hand. Shadows moved and held Kay to her spot, starting to help in the energy restoration.

Serena closed her eyes again, shaking slightly. “I’m alright…let’s get back…take care of Kay…”

Sam didn't believe Serena that she was alright but she knew she couldn't have any right to call her out on it as she had to focus on the driving. "okay" she replied as she kept driving, glad that the earlier traffic was proving to be lighter than when it was. The twenty minutes soon passed and Sam found herself pulling up onto the driveway and parking. Unclipping her seatbelt, she looked behind her to see if Kay was still convulsing and contorting.

During those twenty minutes, with John and the shadows helping, Kay's convulsing had managed to slow down and eventually stop as Sam had pulled up onto the driveway. Seeing her sister not fitting anymore made her internally sigh with relief. "I'll get the front door open" she said, opening the car door, grabbing her keys and getting out, running round to the house's front door, unlocking the door and getting inside, holding the door open for everyone.

Kay's breathing began to steady itself but she wasn't quite out of the woods just yet.

John pulled her out and carried her inside, not seeing Serena not get out of the car. He carried her inside and laid her on the couch. “Come on love…”

Serena stayed in the car, holding her head as she shook. She had to get control again. She had gone too far in the tunnel.

Sam let John bring Kay inside but when Serena didn't follow straight away, she couldn't help but look toward the car and see her still in there. Frowning, she looked behind her for a split second before heading back out to the car and opening Serena's door. "you okay?" she asked cautiously.

As Kay's breathing began steadying itself, her eyes began to flicker once again and this time little groans started to escape her lips as she tried to wake up properly, hearing John's voice break through her subconscious.

Serena kept her eyes closed as she muttered “just needed a moment…I lost control in the tunnel and I just have to pull it all back in…” she was shaking as she held her head.

John sighed with relief and rested a hand on her cheek. “I’m right here love…we got you…just open your eyes…”

Sam listened and wondered what Serena did that made her lose control. She placed a comforting hand on Serena's shoulder, just as she used to do for Kay when they were younger. "It's okay, you can take all the time you need, there's no rush" she told her softly.

Kay subconsciously leaned her head into his hand as she managed to open her eyes, even if it was with a bit of effort. "J-John..?" she asked weakly, letting her eyes find his. Her eyes flickering between Fee's golden pupilless ones and her own grey blue ones which made her vision blurry and foggy which gave her the sensation of being partially blind and it scared her.

Serena shuttered under her hand, clearly having a hard time. “Thanks Sam…please make sure Kay is alright…her being attacked…I didn’t handle it well…and make John clean up before she wakes up. His covered in blood”

John smiled and said “it’s alright love. Fee is going in and out too. Your not blind. Just relax and they will fix themselves”

Sam sighed but she didn't move at first, as she really wanted to see if Serena was truly okay, or at least, going to be okay. She just wanted to help but she didn't know how to when it came to this new dark world. At her request about John, she nodded, "Okay, here. Take the car key and the house keys. Make your way inside when you're ready to alright? Just lock the car when you're ready to come inside. I'll see to John and I'll get the kettle on for a calming cup of tea for you and everyone else" she explained, holding the keys out to her.

Hearing John's voice was a relief to Kay as it meant she was safe. She heard no urgency or panic in his tone which told her he had gotten her to safety and the feel of the couch under her made her guess mentally that it was Sam's house they were at. The smell of the house felt familiar to her. She nodded at him telling her to relax as she lifted a hand up to take his hand but it felt wet on his knuckles so she let go. "John what happened?" she asked.

Serena nodded but didn’t move. A shadow moved up and took the keys, nodding with thanks and moving them to Serena’s lap.

John cursed and moved his hand back. He didn’t want her to know how far both he and Serena had gone just yet. “Nothing love…everything is fine..” his hand was starting to bruise now but he didn’t care.

Sam stood up, patted Serena's shoulder softly and walked back inside, closing the front door behind her knowing Serena could easily get inside now she had the keys. She really hoped that Serena would be okay, but the guilt of going so far was evident on the woman's face and that almost haunted Sam's memory. Shaking it off her mind as best she could, she walked into the living room and saw Kay was awake but her eyes looked so different.

She waited for John to finish talking to her before stepping closer. "John, I've got this" she told him, but her eyes said 'go clean up'. The fact she overheard him avoid telling Kay what happened told her that now was not the time to hint that John was in a real mess and covered in the assailant's blood. She herself had only truly noticed just how badly it was on John which made her wonder just how far was too far. Memories of the night before and their conversations coming into her mind, and it was now evident that when John said he would do anything to keep Kay safe, he really wasn't kidding.

"Sam?" Kay asked, trying to find her which made Sam walk over and squat on the ground beside her, taking Kay's hands, seeing the marks of restraints on her wrists. "I'm here Kay, it's okay" she told her, trying to reassure her beloved sister.

John jumped up and said “thanks, I’ll just be a moment” he slipped into kitchen and tried to wash off the blood. Of course it was being stubborn and he cursed softly as he scrubbed his hands. He paused and leaned on the counter, his breathing harsh. He would have beat the man to death if Serena hadn’t stopped him. Which made him worry how far Serena had gone.

Kay gripped Sam's hands tightly, wanting to feel that security she always used to from her sister. She hoped John was okay and Serena, despite her being in her own predicament. "Are they okay? Where's Serena?" she asked Sam, "It's okay Kay, they're okay. You don't need to worry about them, just focus on yourself alright? You are allowed to put yourself first sometimes" Sam told her, stroking her hair, albeit she reached out hesitantly at first.

With Sam stroking her hair, Kay closed her eyes and sighed, feeling a sense of calm wash over her. "I just want them to be safe and okay as well" Kay said with a sigh, slowly reopening her eyes and found her vision was coming back to her as she focused her eyes on Sam's face. "I know, but they're going to be fine. Serena just needed some air that's all, she'll be in soon and JOhn will be back shortly as well" Sam explained.

It took a few minutes to get the blood off his hands. Couldn’t do anything about the blood on his clothes so he came back and sat down. “Hey there you are. You alright? How do you feel?”

They heard the door open and shut and a beep of the car locking. Serena slid down the door, holding her head.
