Bette looked at her sister and sighed before turning back to Nikki and Jenny.

Nikki took a step forward looking up to Bette with sadness and sincerity in her eyes.

"We want to help"

Bette raised an eyebrow but before she could say anything, Shane cut her off.

"You wanna help? Fine, lets start with you telling us why you ripped the page out of one of your books"

Bette turned to her friend and gave her a confused look, "What book?"

"Right before the attack, Tina was reading from a book that told us a lot about our seals and how to get rid of them"

Bette nodded, her eyes widening as she waited for Shane to continue. Her impatient nature got the better of her.

"And?"

Nikki and Jenny nervously shifted their weight from one foot to the other. Bette and Shane were too busy talking to notice.

"Well that’s where the ripped page comes in. The part that was supposed to tell us how to break the seal was in the page that’s missing"

Bette quickly turned her head toward Nikki and Jenny, "There better be a damn good reason why you tore out that page"

Nikki’s eyes widened and Jenny looked like she was going to be sick.

"I’m waiting" Bette said, her tone cold.

Nikki glanced nervously at Jenny as the raven haired maiden gave her a look that said to be quiet. Nikki looked back at Bette and sighed. Just as she was about to open her mouth, Jenny covered it with her hand. Nikki quickly shook off the hold and turned to Jenny.

"She’s gonna find out eventually. We have to tell her"

Bette’s eyes narrowed, "Tell me what? One of you better say something now"

Bette’s tone left no room for argument and now Jenny was the one to look nervous. She turned to Bette and put her head down in shame.

"Jenny" Bette began to get off her horse.

Jenny slowly shook her head as she raised up the sleeve on her shirt to reveal a star shaped brand on her left bicep. Bette froze, too nervous to even toss Shane a glance.
