Sorry for not updating in for a while. Took me a bit to work this chapter out.


"You called us?" Duke asked Nathan. Hazel was mildly surprised at the us, but Duke was already being fatherly.

"Yeah. And Hazel-" Nathan was looking over Hazel's shoulder.

"Hi sweetie."

Hazel whipped around. "Mom!" Prue and Hazel hugged tightly. "I thought you were in Washington by now."

"No. I realized that your birthday is tomorrow and I needed to make sure a certain promise was kept." Prue smiled.

"Hello, dear girl."

Hazel stiffened. "Simon." She turned around. "What are you doing here?"

Simon grinned. "Just trying to help my son in his destiny."

"He doesn't want your help."

Just then, Kyle came up. "Please, Duke." He begged and pushed a knife into Duke's hand.

"I already told you, no."

"I don't care!" Kyle pushed himself forward. Hazel saw black goo come out of him and try to go into Duke. Failing, it came to her, and settled in her hand. Though she didn't know what it was, and why it didn't go into Duke, she did know one thing: her Trouble was mutating.


Audrey was watching Hazel. She had just witnessed a suicide, basically. And Hazel was playing with some weird black goo that she said had come out of Kyle.

"We were on the boat all day. Simon showed up right before we left. And how did my mom leave so quickly?"

Audrey winced. A call had come in. There had been a single-car accident just outside Haven. It had been Prue. She was killed instantly. But it had happened while Hazel and Duke were out.

Hazel was already in shock. She didn't need this.

"Thanks. And I don't know. But how about me and you go to the Gull and talk about this, okay?"

Hazel looked up. "Sure."

When they got there, however, they were attacked. Audrey was tased and Hazel hit on the back of the head.


Nathan wanted to talk to Audrey. But when he got into the apartment, she wasn't there. A whistle necklace was left. Nathan knew it was Duke's. He went the his boat, ready to kill Duke.

"Where is she?"

Duke didn't look up. "Hazel went with Audrey to her apartment. They should be there by now."

"They're not." Nathan held up the necklace. "And I found this."

Duke turned around and went pale. "I gave that to Hazel. I, uh, I'm her father and wanted to give her something to remind her that if she calls, I will come running. She must have been taken too."

"You found out?" Nathan put down the necklace.

"Seems like you knew."

"Prue asked me not to tell you."

Duke smiled. "Just like her."

"So now what do we do?"

"We find them."
