Rene ran into the main room that everyone always hung out in and set out all of her items on the table. Julie chased behind her, confused beyond belief. When she reached the room, her mom had a liquid spilled onto her hands and he used it to draw a symbol on the floor.

"What are あなた drawing?"

"A spell- Ah, it's too complicated to explain." She wiped the blueish purple color off on her red jeans and continued her work, grabbing different bottles and adding them to the spell formula. The sorceress grabbed a thick spell book and opened it, blowing off some dust before hand. "Damn this is old." She flipped to the middle of the book and scanned for what she was looking for. She pointed to the spell. "Aha! Finally! The 検索 spell!" The red head skimmed it over and them shut the book closed.

"UH, why do あなた need a 検索 spell?"

"So I can find out where the bastards are ."

"Isn't this a lot to go through for this group of people?"

"You don't understand Julie." Rene's tone dropped. Her voice was slowed to a 苦い hush. "And あなた probably never will." The black haired girl looked at her mother in surprise. She had never heard her so dark. This entire time, she never knew what hardships her mom had gone through for her and her sister. Risking her life to keep them safe. She looked back at her mom, who had a ナイフ in her hand. Julie watched her mother cut a deep gash into her wrist, and it made her so terrified she let out a screech.

"Mom! What the hell!" Rene took the pouring blood and drew a few shapes inside her small circle.

"I'm fine. Look." She showed her daughter the cut wrist; and right before her eyes, it quickly healed like it had never been there.

"How did you-? What did you-?"

"It's from an accident a long long time ago. Yes, I can never die; but it has it's disadvantages."

"You must have been pretty lonely..."

"I had your father." A small smile formed upon the red head's face, the face of a starstruck teenager; exactly who she looked like. Then she shook her head and returned to the spell. "Okay, I need a toad head," she fumbled for a jar and sniffed the top, then opened it and pulled one out. "And some liquefied, stuff...." She grabbed a test tube and poured it on the head and threw it into the center of the circle. The outer サークル, 円 began to glow and from it, a map of the city appeared, with a dot on their exact hideout location. Rene mumbled a few words and the map became real, an actually map あなた could hold in your hand. The red head smiled and crumpled it, throwing it into the trash. The blood and potions on the floor all disappeared without a trace.

"Mom? Why do あなた have such a creepy smile on your face?"

"Because I know exactly where to go."
