Maggie had been fortunate not to have seen any ghosts. She had moved in with her dad and his wife temporarily and felt a bit guilty for it. Not only had Sarah been through so much including having to fight the ghost of her dead ex, Harry and Sarah had only recently been reunited and they had a baby to care for. Maggie had stayed with them last year after their wedding too; that time it was because of the fog. It felt like every time her dad had reason to want to couple time with his wife, Maggie intruded on them. She decided it would be safe enough to go for a walk and give them a morning of privacy. She left a note to keep them from worrying and walked outside into the fresh air.
She had been walking for a while when she began to hear things. It sounded like whispers, mentions of sacrifice and bloodline curses. She stopped and tried to convince herself it was just her imagination. She was calming down until she began to see the ghosts of Arianna Ortega and other red court vampires. She shifted into fight mode when one of them grabbed her. She punched, kicked and used the magic that she was learning from her father. It wasn't enough. She could get them to vanish for a moment, but they always reappeared and she was outnumbered.
Maggie managed to make them disappear for a few minutes and she ran into the nearest building. She hid behind several stacks of books, with her back to a wall and reached for her phone. She was about to call for help, when she heard a noise. Peeking her head around the books, she felt a sense of relief when she saw another island resident. "Hello." She said quietly.
