They were able to get what little information they could get from the general within twenty minutes, so they wasted no time before getting back on the road. They headed to the last destination as it was late enough for them to visit. After fifteen minutes of driving, they arrived at a gated beach front house. Katalina wasted no time and sent news of their arrival on a magical wavelength inside. After a few seconds, the gate opened for them, and they drove in.
She barely took two steps into the entryway when something plowed right into her, almost knocking her over.

Umph!
"Kat!"
Rainbow chuckled and hugged the bundle of joy that just ran into her. She signaled for Ethan to lock the door behind them while she led them to the sitting room.
R: "Hi Yvonne, how are you?"
Y: "I've missed you. What took you so long? I've been waiting all day."
R: "You know we still had the other places to visit first. I'm here now and you know why,"
Y: "Yes, you need to find the murderer,"
R: "Exactly. What do you need to find a trail for us?"
Y: "He can get the pictures and hopefully a piece of one of the victims for a tracking spell,"
E: "Got it. I'll step out and call your brother. In the meantime, you two can catch up,"
R: "Thank you love."
After Ethan left, Yvonne immediately dragged her upstairs and took her to her magic space. Rainbow let her arrange her wherever she felt right and was patient until she was ready. Finally finished she turned and sat down in front of me and held her hand out to me.
She reluctantly handed over her phone and Yvonne flushed in embarrassment after realizing that the last time she asked, the phone disintegrated.
Y: "I swear I won't destroy this phone,"
R: "Are you sure?"
Y: "Yes,"
R: "Alright."
Y: "I had a vision a while ago. It was about a happy couple who broke up, the woman moved on and found her soulmate. They had a child together, but she was kidnapped by a creature along with the first boyfriend. They were tortured and I believe it raped her, but I don't remember anything after that. Chances are they might be dead."
R: "Okay. See if you can get a read on the last message in my family group chat, they found a small lead,"
Y: "No problem. I'll kill two birds with one stone,"
R: "Great, I'll release my energy, so you aren't too tired after,"
Y: "Thank you Rainbow."
R: "You know I don't mind."
Rainbow took her hands and released seventy percent of her aura into the room. Yvonne briefly tightened her grip before relaxing her body completely. A soft glow enveloped them as her seer talent activated.
People were being picked off one-by-one, mysteriously being transported to an underground area. A figure shrouded in darkness picks them off one by one. Rituals begin, but the scene is hazy.
Y: "All victims were held underground while the ritual was carried out. It seems like—"
The man did his best to comfort his son after his mother was gone. He secretly investigated for ten years but was then caught by the creature shrouded in darkness and died during the very first ritual attempt. His son grew up without him and set out into the world.
Rainbow gradually cut off the energy release, hoping to pull Yvonne out of the vision that hit her harder than the first. After it ended, she collapsed into Rainbow unconscious, alarming her greatly. She took her over to the sofa, cuddling her to watch over her until she woke up. By the time Yvonne awakened, Ethan also returned to the room to check in.
Although it was the first time they had met, Yvonne looked at him as if finding someone important.
R: "Are you okay?"
Y: "His parents are both dead. That monster killed them. You are the last of your bloodline."
R: "What did you see?"
E: "Are you sure about that? We just met."
Y: "I saw it. Your parents were happy together, but then your mother was kidnapped by that monster along with her ex-boyfriend, and they were tortured daily. After that, it tried to breed her."
E: "What happened to my father then?"
Y: "He investigated for years, but he was captured and used as a sacrifice in a ritual."
R: "If what you saw is accurate, then whatever this thing is may have been trying to create a vessel to inhabit by producing offspring."
E: "It most likely failed to consummate and changed to the ritual. If it's close to success, that could be the reason for all the massacres."
R: "Who's to say something else didn't happen between the two that led to your mother's death? If she didn't have its baby, maybe she had the ex-boyfriend's child, and that could be our link to figuring out where this thing might be hiding."
Y: "I'll keep looking while you both head out. Stay in touch Kat."
R: "I promise I will. You stay safe too."
E: "Exactly, we don't know if this thing can sense you using your powers on it and retaliate."
R: "If it comes down to it, I can tell my sisters to stay with her until this is over."
Y: "You don't have to."
R: "I want to."
After hugging her one last time, Rainbow and Ethan left, deciding to head to the Valentine home to wait for everyone else. Rainbow called Light and Dulce while on the road and instructed them to pack a bag and stay with Yvonne from that night. She also sent a message in the group chat responding to her brother's inquiry.

Interesting.
They dare to fight against the inevitable. Time for the final trump card to throw them off the scent a little longer.
It hissed. Guess it was a good thing I kept him alive for so long.
Now it's time to end it all.
