CAMILLA wasn't prepared for Deena to drive to a stranger's house, break in, and start pleading for help, but here she was—sitting in C. Berman's living room. The air felt thick with tension. Sam was tied up in the bathroom, roaring like an animal, her screams echoing through the walls. Camilla sat with her head in her hands, trying to process everything. She missed her mom more than ever right now. Everything felt so surreal.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang, pulling her out of her thoughts. "Were you expecting someone?" Camilla asked, her brow furrowed.
"I'm never expecting anyone," Christine replied, her voice low as she moved cautiously toward the door.
Camilla instinctively followed her, not wanting her to be alone. When Christine peeked through the peephole, she gasped audibly.
"Who is it?" Camilla asked, anxiety rising in her chest.
Without a word, Christine opened the door, revealing someone Camilla never expected to see.
"Camilla!" her mother's voice rang out.
"Mom?!" Camilla gasped, her eyes wide in disbelief. "How did you find me?"
"I have a GPS tracker on you," Valentina said bluntly, as if it were the most normal thing in the world. "Why are you here?"
Valentina's eyes shifted, landing on Christine, and her expression changed to one of shock. "Zig?" she whispered, stunned.
"Val..." Christine muttered, her voice tinged with the same disbelief.
"You two know each other?" Josh asked, his eyes wide with surprise.
Camilla glanced at him. "I told you, my mom went to Camp Nightwing."
Valentina visibly tensed at the mention of the camp, swallowing hard as the memories seemed to resurface.
"I still wanna know why you're here," Valentina demanded, her voice firmer now, clearly unsettled by the situation.
Camilla took a deep breath, trying to explain everything in a rush. "Mom... Sam saw the witch, and all night we've been running from murderers. And when we finally stopped them, Sam just... snapped. She's been attacking us like she's possessed or something. We need answers, and fast."
