3rd Person POV
"You sure it glowed again?" Hope asks Dr Saltzman
"I sleep with the damn thing under my pillow." Dr Saltzman says. "It's hard to miss."
"What do you think it's gonna be this time?" Hope asks. "Hmm? Cyclops? Slender Man? Santa?"
"Well, given our luck, I think it's safe to rule out Ol' Saint Nick." Dr Satlzman says
"I don't know." Sadie pipes up from the corner. She's sitting at a desk in the corner with a makeup test in front of her. "I mean, Santa Claus is kind of terrifying when you think about it."
"You have a test to do." Dr Satlzman reminds her
"She's got a point." Hope says
"Thank you." Sadie says
"Breaks into your home. He sees you when you're sleeping. Not to mention, judge-y." Hope says
"Hope, I need you to focus." Dr Saltzman says
"Look, I'm trying." Hope says. "I just wish that Satan's nightlight would give us some rest."
"Yeah. And I wish that knife was never in our school to begin with, but it's not like we can change that now." Dr Saltzman says. "All we can do is make sure we're not blindsided by another monster waltzing through our doors."
The door opens
Sadie looks over and sees Josie and Lizzie with their luggage
Lizzie looks especially pissed
"Too late." Hope says
"Oh, God. Uh, girls." Dr Saltzman says. "What are you doing here? You're not supposed to get in until tonight."
"Mom was able to get us direct into Dulles." Lizzie says. "Then faxed, texted and e-mailed you our revised itinerary."
"I am so sorry." Dr Saltzman says. "It's-it's chaos around here."
"It's okay, Dad." Josie says with a smile. "We know that you're overwhelmed. But Europe was amazing. And seeing Mom was really good.
"Jo's covered the bright side." Lizzie says. "Far less sunny was waiting for you in the chilly dark of morning at the terminal and you not showing up."
"In his defense, um, we've been in crisis mode around here." Hope says
"Oh, we've heard all about it." Lizzie says. "Hope got bamboozled by one of the monsters and now only two keys separate the entire supernatural community from being consumed by a hell portal. I'm guessing that weird little vase is one of them?" She says, looking at the urn on the desk
"It's an urn, actually." Hope says
"I don't care what it is." Lizzie says. "I care that instead of being welcomed at the airport, we were forced to take a three-hour shuttle ride that smelled like an open sewer. And feet. Thanks a lot, Hope. Way to ruin life for the rest of us."
Lizzie storms out
***
Lizzie storms into her room, looking in the mirror at her reflection
"Breathe." Lizzie says. "Just breathe. I wish Hope had never come to this school."
A flash of blue appears behind her
Lizzie screams, turning around
A blue woman stands there
"Where did you come from?" Lizzie asks
"Mm. First things first." The blue woman says. "I'm--"
"Blue." Lizzie says, cutting her off. "Y-You're so blue."
