FREYA SHIFTED TO THE coven, practically skipping as she went. The joy in her step was halted, however, as she walked up to see that the front door to the building had been smashed in.

“Hey,” Freya called into the building, catching Ally’s attention. “What happened?”

Ally shrugged, looking more than a little shaken. “Someone broke in last night. We managed to fend them off, but... They still managed to get in, past all of the wards.”

“Who was it? A Demon?”

Ally shook her head. “It... They were wearing Human armour, nothing magic. No runes, no charms... Just Kevlar.”

“What did they look like?”

“We don’t know. They had on a black mask, just like the other attacks.”

“Where are Sarah and Mel?”

“Sarah’s still looking after the girl you brought in. I have no idea where Mel is.”

“Thanks,” Freya said, heading inside and making her way to the room where they had put the hybrid girl.

Once she got there, she gently knocked on the open door. She could see that, inside, Sarah was tending to the girl, using some kind of spell that Freya didn’t recognise.

As soon as Sarah had finished, the girl fell back onto her bed, fast asleep.

“Sorry,” Sarah signed as she left the room, closing the door behind her. “I had to finish up with her.”

“How is she?”

“Rattled. I thought we were making progress, but then last night... I’ve never seen her so shaken. Not even when she was first brought here. I put a healing spell on her, but it knocks you out while it works. I would have used a regular sleeping potion, but this way she’s tied to me so that I can be alerted if anything about her condition changes.”

“So, what’s wrong with her? Just shock and trauma?”

Sarah nodded. “Most likely. It’s difficult with hybrids. Witches act mostly as Humans do, though we sometimes rely on our magic in times of stress in ways that aren’t available to Humans. Werewolves, on the other hand, are a completely different kettle of fish. She’s not acting exactly as a Were would, but not exactly like a Witch would, either. It’ll take time for me to figure out how exactly to get through to her. Though... I don’t know, but I suspect the lack of speech may be her wolf brain taking over, despite her remaining in Human form. I would suggest that she try to shift fully, but I don’t even know that she can. Many hybrids can’t.”

“So, what you’re saying is that we’re not getting any information on the attackers from her any time soon?”

Sarah shook her head. “I wasn’t fighting last night, I was making sure our guest was safe and away from the conflict, but you might want to talk to Rosaline. She was down there fighting with the others and she might be able to tell you something more. Maybe give you a lead.”

Freya nodded. “Thanks,” she said before heading to Rosaline’s office.

She knocked firmly on the door and heard Rosaline shout “Come in.”

Freya entered to see that Mel was in there with her, flipping through a large tome.
