A black journal and a quill appear in front of Jesse, but she keeps her right hand up. The black orb remains and Jesse quickly sketches the drawing of the cloaked man. She could feel the image of the figure slipping away from her memory as she drew him out. After a second, the journal falls and Jesse collapses with it. She pants and gulps. She felt a liquid running on her lips. She wipes it away and sees its a dark red liquid. Blood.

Lukas looks at his daughter, Maggie and sighs, "Maggie?"
"Yes daddy?" Maggie looks up at him.
"I know you don't mean to be... mean but..." Lukas kneels down.
"What is it daddy?" Maggie looks into his eyes.
"Could you not bring up your grandmother? At least not in front of your mom?"
"Yes daddy..." Maggie looks down.
"Your not in trouble babygirl. I just don't want to see your mother in the state she was in before.."
"Before?" Maggie looks at her father then he stands up.
"Its best not to talk about it."

Lukas looks at his kids before looking in the direction Jesse went to. "Hmm..." Lukas squints his eyes a tad. "I'm gonna go check in on your mom." The blonde says to his children before walking down the corridor and toward the birch door. With each step he took, he could hear panting a whispering. It was coming from the mirror room and he instantly recognized the panting and whispering was his wife's. He presses his ear against the birch door and listen to everything he could. He hears something drop the the ground then he hears Jesse. "C-crap..." She whines and she picks up the black journal. She slowly stands up and wipes the red liquid that is coming out of her nose. She slowly opens the journal then her husband walks in, "Babe, are you oka—" He looks at Jesse. His voice is soft like silk and is sweet. He notices the blood on her face and freezes up, "Are you bleeding?!" His voice is filled with worry and it is no longer sweet but it is strong and deep. Lukas grabs Jesse's face with one hand then uses his other hand and wipes the blood off of Jesse's face. He looks at his wife and grabs her face, "Are you okay?" He asks. Jesse slowly nods before hugging him. "I just need to get out of this room..." Jesse takes a deep breathe and goes to leave the area.

As she reaches the birch door, Lukas grabs her arm. "Jesse, what were you doing in here?" He asks and Jesse holds the journal close. "Nothing! I just... wanted to study the magic and... things went just a little wrong when I used my magic." Jesse says, smiling as innocently as she can. Lukas squints his eyes at her before sighing, "Alright... I'm trusting you on this." He pulls her close and presses his lips against hers. Jesse blushes and they kiss for a few seconds then Jesse pulls away. "We should go get ready... We have a big day ahead of us." Jesse says before running out.
