Coreen's head was pounding when she awoke.

She groaned causing a voice to to say, "She is waking."

Two faces appeared over her, blurry at first, then they came into focus.

She started to jump up but found that the knot they had given her was causing her immense pain and nausea.

"Where am I? Where are DiAnn and Myra?" Coreen knew those were the two Fae that had attacked her. DiAnn was the one who didn't like her being with Clark.

"Don't you worry, human," the voice spat out,"they'll be here soon enough." With that, they left her in the little room and locked the door behind them.

Coreen looked around. She could tell she was in a basement room, but she didn't know where.

There was one small window, up at the top of the wall. Coreen stepped on the little cot she had been lying on and peered out. She couldn't see a thing, only bushes.

"Oh, Vicki, what kind of mess have I gotten into now?" Coreen slumped down, grabbing her head again as she did.

Her cell phone!! she snapped her fingers at the thought.

She pulled it out..no charge.

She didn't know how long she had been out but she knew at least that in the morning, or maybe it was morning, Vicki would be suspicious.

Henry let Vicki sleep in a little. She had seemed tired when he initially tried to wake her so he and the children ate breakfast together until she awoke.

Vicki came strolling in the kitchen just as they had finished.

"MMMM, coffee.." Vicki sniffed the air, then kissed each twin and Henry as she passed them on the way to the coffeepot.

She made a hot cup and took a big swig. She made a face.

"What's wrong Mommy?" Ward asked, ever the perceptive child.

"Nothing, honey, I think maybe I should eat something first this morning." Thinking to herself, all I had was a chocolate Henry bar last night...and smiling as she thought about it. Henry "heard" her too because he replied..at least it was low calorie...and smiled at her. She narrowed her eyes and tilted her head at him.

"Mommy, Aunt Gwen's family is soo cool, they do lots of neat tricks and one of them, looks just like Coreen, it was weird." Abbie told her mother all about the visit, every detail. Vicki sat and listened, never taking her eyes off of her daughter except when she took a bites of the oatmeal that Gwen insisted she eat.

"And they could do this..grrrr.. " Abbie made a claw motion with her hand,"and then their hand would go back! You shoulda seen it!" Ward was nodding excitedly with her.

Now most children would be terrified to see a human go from human to were and back, but these two, well they weren't your average kids.

After their big story, Gwen told them to run and get their park shoes on. They ran out of the kitchen in a blur, great, something else Vicki was going to have to adjust to now.

"Vicki, she's right. My cousin, Lisa, looks just like Coreen. It's scary, they could be twins almost."

Vicki was slowly chewing her oatmeal, things running through her mind. She had to find out about Coreen's family, whether Coreen wanted her to or not.

"Interesting," Vicki finally said, finishing off her oatmeal. Gwen handed her a fresh cup of coffee, but Vicki didn't want it by then.

Gwen left to take the twins to the park and Vicki picked up her cell, dialing Coreen.

"Hi, you've reached Coreen, NOT, I'm not in, so like leave me a message.." straight to voicemail.

She tried the office, no answer.

"Henry, something is wrong. This isn't like her." Vicki said, going to the bedroom to get dressed. Henry was already dressed as he had been up longer.

"She was pretty upset, maybe she's just still at home, holing up." Henry tried to reassure her but he too felt something was wrong.

Vicki started out the door, "Are you coming?" She shot back at Henry. He was at the car when she got there, leaning up against it, legs crossed, keys dangling in front of him.

She hit him, playfully of course.

"I hate when you do that," then kissed him quickly on the mouth. Yeah, she really hates him...

"Hey!! I need to go to the bathroom..are you barbarians or Fairies?" Coreen banged on the door, even though her head pounded with every bang.

Finally, someone came to the door. It was one of the boys/men, she couldn't tell, that was here earlier.

"Yeah, yeah, we hear ya..come on" He said leading her out of the door and down the hall.

He shoved her into a small, nasty bathroom..Good thing she didn't really have to go. She was just trying to get a feel of her surroundings, hoping that by getting out, even for a moment, it would help.

She flushed the toliet for good measure. No window in the bathroom, shoot!

He opened the door and took Coreen's arm, nearly dragging her down the hall again. She noticed at the end there were stairs and out here, she could hear people talking. Lots of people..then she realized where she was...the college!! She was in the basement of one of the buildings in the college!! DiAnn went there as a student of sciences so she had access to rooms no one else did.

"So, you one of her little errand boys?" Coreen knew it would piss him off, but that's what she was going for.

"NO, I'm her bodyguard." He said sticking his tiny chest out.

"Yeaahh okay.." Coreen said, looking him up and down, shaking her head.

He threw her back in the room, but before he shut the door, she said, "Hey do I get some food or something?"

"Maybe.." and he slammed the door.

"Coreen..Coreen..COREEN!! " with the last "coreen" Vicki had yelled.

"See, no sign of her..something's happened. Henry, will you check around outside, see if you see anything, or sense anything.."

"I'm not a bloodhound, remember?" Henry was upset too and that was his way of showing it right now.

"Yes, I'm sorry, it's just that girl..she gets into the biggest predicaments! I don't know what I.."

"Would do without her.." Henry finished for her.

Vicki was silent for a minute.

"Yeah, I don't know what I'd do without her." She nodded at the realization that something might have gone horribly wrong and she would never forgive herself if something bad happened to Coreen.

And God help the person or Fairies or whatever, that might have something to do with it.

Vicki did call Mike really quick.

"Hey Mike, it's me, your favorite wart," Vicki listened as he told someone to get the hell out, he was on an important call.

"Is this a bad time?" Vicki asked, not really caring but she thought she would be polite and ask.

"Okay, well listen, I need a favor. But you have to keep it under the radar..no actually it isn't freaky-deaky, you'll probably be able to do it right under Crowley's nose." she smiled as she said it, knowing Mike would like that.

"I need you to search adoption and birth records for about twenty three years ago, specifically twin births, girls,... yeah,.. ...okay..Thanks a bunch.." She hung up.

Henry came back in. His face betrayed his thoughts.

"What?? What did you find?" Vicki asked coming from around her desk.

He was clenching his jaw and his fists.

"Coreen's car. It's out back, I smelled the Fae on it, they've taken her."
