Ani looked at the LCD of her phone, at that simple text message that came from a sibling she hasn't heard from for over a thousand years. She stared at the words as if trying to find some hidden meaning in them. What did Lucinda need from her? She was curious, yes, but she didn't know if she should indulge that curiosity. 

[color=lightpink]"Annika, the stage is yours,"[/color] her assistant Irina called out.

Ani looked towards the woman, nodded and stood up. It was the last curtain call before they officially declare the season over. She can hear the audience applauding and chanting her name. And so she plastered the most charming smile she can muster on her face and walked out on stage to grace them with her presence one last time. The theater erupted in cheers and applause.

Several hours later, she was on a plane flying from Kazakhstan to America.

The next day, she stepped out of a cab in front of Lucinda's house. She paused at the door, hesitating if she really should proceed or not. But since she had taken the effort to fly all the way here, it would be foolish not to go in. And so, she reached out, opened the door and stepped in. 

Apparently, she was just in time for the little family reunion. She could hear voices coming from the living room. She wasn't sure if they would be happy to see her. When she finally stepped in the room, there was Lucinda, Daren, Ester, a werewolf, a strange hybrid and a human.
