been no signs of them in years, not even rumors. Surely we would have heard about them regrouping before now. I won’t deny that the theory had merit, but it would be impossible for them to make moves against us without us finding out. The fact that Cail is even thinking about it shows just how desperate he’s becoming.

No cult has ever made a move of this size against us, and after the last time we went after them, surely they wouldn’t have the balls to try it again. We only left those alive that were the least likely to pick up the cause in later years and children. Yes, we might be monsters, but not even we could kill innocent kids.

If it is the cults though, then we have a bigger problem on our hands than we originally thought. The things those crackpots believed were unreal. They did some sick shit all in pursuit of their ideals. Everything from sacrifices to decimating hundreds of supernaturals. If this is them, then we can be sure that this is only the start of what they have planned. Cail fills us in on what he thinks is happening, clearly seeing my temper rising.

“We left teenagers, women, and children alive. Well, most of the women. We thought that they would have moved on and wanted to put all of that shit behind them, but what if they were just biding their time?”

“I can see how you think it could be a possibility, but surely after what they witnessed when we cleared them out last time, they wouldn't have it in them to repeat it.”

“Maybe, but what if all this time they’ve been planning their revenge? We’ve only ever seen one group pop up at a time, but what if all the ones who survived from each group, have grouped up to have the numbers to fight back?”

“Shit! If that’s true, then this could be fucking bad. Do you remember what drove us to hunt them down last time? They killed so many children, and they would not stop there.”

“I know. I wish I had read through these books before because the things that are wrote here are fucking huge. Some rituals are completely unimaginable. They believed they could drain our power.”

“It seems that they were much more delusional than we originally thought then. This could be really fucking grim. Depending on how many of them are working together, this could turn into a fucking war!”

Cail lets out a deep sigh, and he thinks over my words, and I can tell that the pressure of this all is really getting to him. I don’t blame him either since everything will fall on both of our heads. We may not like each other very much, but we also wouldn’t wish something like this on anybody.

Over the years, things like this, but on a smaller scale, have popped up that’s forced us to work together. Nothing ever as extreme as this, though. Hell, even my father has never heard of something happening on this scale! This could be really fucking bad for our people, but it’s still too early to tell.

Here’s hoping Melissa can find something that will give us more answers because with the way things are going, we’ll never be able to stop them. There was already another name added to Cail’s list that he sent me earlier, so it’s only a matter of time before another one of my people are taken.

I get to my feet, pacing backward and forwards, feeling like I’m about to blow. I wish there was some way for me to know who they would go after next so that I could protect them. I’ve seen enough worried families over the last month to last me a lifetime, and at this rate, it’s not going to stop anytime soon.

How could the cults be leaving no trace of themselves behind? It’s near impossible for a human to hide their presence from us without the help of a Witch, but who in their right mind would team up with them. Fae haven’t been the only ones targeted over the years by the cults. You only have to look at the Salem Witch trial to know that. Surely with such an unpleasant history, no Witch in their right mind would be willing to help them. Needing to talk it through with someone so that I don’t drive myself mad, I turn back to Cail.

“Is there anything in the books you’ve read so far that mentions a way for them to remove their presence? We’ve both had our best trackers try to find even the smallest trace to hunt at the places where we know certain people have been taken."

“There are small things mentioned here and there, but nothing concrete. The only real way I know of is having outside help."

“You know as well as I do though, that no Witch would be caught dead helping the cultists.”

“Maybe so, but what about Witches that have grown up outside of the covens and don’t know about that side of their history.”

“That’s more likely than your average Witch. They have such deep-seated hate for the supernatural community since they’ve been shunned for being different.”

If that’s the case, we could track down possible Witches that have either been adopted or were in the foster system. It’s not much, but it’s something to go on, plus if we manage to track a Witch down that is involved with the cults, then we would have more proof that it leads to them. Turning to Morph, I decide to talk through where my mind has taken me.

“Morph, do you think you could hack into the child welfare database and track down any children who could have been Witches lost to the system.”

“I can give it a try. If I don’t have much luck though, you could always ask
