Once Adelaide got home, she noticed the moving truck in the driveway across the street. She could see a figure walking around through the living room window.
She ignored it and walked into her house. Her mom, aunt, and Carmella were huddled by the window with popcorn and a glass of wine.
"What exactly are you three doing?", Addie asked.
"Waiting to get a glimpse of the new neighbors", her aunt Nikki said.
"How long have you three been sitting there?", Addie asked.
"I would say about an hour, tops", her mom said.
"They haven't even gotten comfortable yet and they've probably already decided that we are the creepy neighbors", Addie said.
"If you aren't going to join us, then at least be useful and make us more popcorn, because we ran out", Carmella said, handing Addie the bowl.
Addie walked into the kitchen and set down her bag. Grabbing another popcorn packet.
She started it just as her mom and aunt walked in.
"Party over?", Addie asked.
"No, we need more wine and Carmella had to use the bathroom", her aunt Nikki said.
Addie nodded.
"I came to check on you", Brie said, wrapping her arm around her daughter.
Addie was tempted to tell her mom about Roman, but decided not too.
"How was school?", she asked.
"Fine. Nothing new", Addie said.
Her mom nodded. Once the popcorn was done, they poured it into a bowl and went back to the window. Addie started on dinner.
Once Bayley got home, she glanced at the house that was being moved into. She shivered, getting a bad vibe from it.
She made her way into her house. Noticing popcorn on the floor and two empty bottles of wine.
She sighed.
"Are we really watching the neighbors again. They called the cops on us last time", Bayley said, walking into the kitchen.
Everyone was now helping with dinner. Bayley handed Addie her left lunch.
"He paid for it and told me to give it to you", Bayley said.
"Roman?", Brie asked.
Bayley nodded.
"I thought you said nothing new happened", Brie said, looking at her daughter.
"Because it didn't mom.", Addie said.
Brie sighed.
"Can we just finish dinner?", Addie asked.
Everyone nodded. Carmella told Bayley about Seth and how he's her new boss.
"They've established themselves quickly. How is it that we didn't know they were here?", Nikki said.
"You think something's up?", Brie asked her twin.
"I don't want to think too much into it", Nikki said.
Brie nodded. Bayley had overheard them. Did that have anything to do with what she's been feeling lately? The house that gave her the bad vibes?
Roman had stopped by the store and picked up two bottles of wine and flowers. Seth had told him it was women who arrived at the house.
Getting home, he got off his car and glanced at the house. It was well taken care of. He made his way inside his new home.
Dean was setting up the tv.
"Any word from dad?", Roman asked.
Dean shook his head no. Roman nodded.
"Where's Seth?", Roman asked.
"Setting up in the basement", Dean said.
Roman nodded and set down the wine and flowers. He went down and checked out Seth's progress. He had everything set up. The board, the names of other witches in town, and photos of the person they were really after.
The person in the photo killed his family when he was little. Along with Dean's family and then Seth's. Hunter had saved them. Adopted them and made them a family.
He trained them to kill witches.
"Always protect your little brothers, Roman"
Hunter had said to him. Hunter had gotten into hunting and killing witches after the man in the photo killed his sister. Stephanie, their adopted mom, her mother was killed by witches.
"So, what do you think?", Seth asked.
"I like it. You set it all up perfectly", Roman said.
Seth had a proud smile on his face.
"Did you see their faces?", Roman asked.
"Two women, twins. Someone else arrived a few minutes later, but I didn't catch a glance. I knew someone else arrived because the car in the driveway. About an hour later another car arrived. Only saw the back of her head. Just before you got here, that car parked in front of their house belongs to another woman, again only saw the back of her head.", Seth said.
Roman nodded.
"So let's say, five women", Roman said.
Seth nodded. Dean came down and joined them.
"What's up?", Dean asked.
"At least five women live in that house.", Seth filled in.
"So what are we playing here Rome? The seduction card?", Dean asked.
They've used that role on different witches and it worked every time. It never went further than getting them into their rooms to catch them.
They interrogated them, torture them till they give up information on other witches. That is what brought them here.
"Should we go say hello boys?", Roman asked.
Dean and Seth smirked.
Addie and Bayley were cleaning up the popcorn and trash their moms and Carmella left.
Someone knocked and Addie stood to answer it. Opening the door, her heart almost stopped. He was just as shocked to see her here.
"You live here?", he asked.
She noticed his jaw clench. Her mom, aunt, and cousins joined her by the door.
"Oh, hello", Brie said, glancing at Addie.
"Hi, we just moved in across the street and wanted to stop by to say hello. I'm Seth, this is my brother Dean, and my brother Roman.", Seth introduced.
His eyes met Bayley's and he smiled. She was beautiful, he thought. Dean watched as Carmella blushed as he watched her.
This job was going to be harder than they thought. They had never been attracted to the suspects before.
"Its nice to meet you gentlemen. I'm Brie and this is my twin sister Nikki. Her daughters Bayley and Carmella. This is my daughter...", she was cut off.
"Adelaide", Roman said.
Brie smiled and nodded.
"Right you've met", Brie said.
"So you said you just moved in? I didn't even know that house was for sale", Nikki said.
"It was left to me in a will. Yeah, sad but hey we really had no permanent home before.", Seth said.
Nikki nodded.
"Move around a lot?", Nikki asked.
"Something like that", Dean said.
Roman shook his head.
"We brought this over. Have a good night, we should really be going.", Roman said quickly.
He started down the porch steps. Dean and Seth glanced at each other, before looking back at the women.
"Sorry, he's busy tonight. He just started at the university", Seth said.
"Have a good night ladies", Dean said.
Both men turned and walked towards their home. Brie closed the door.
"Something doesn't feel right", Bayley said.
"What is it?", Nikki asked her youngest.
"I don't know, I can't really read it. When I'm around one of them, I get this bad vibe.", Bayley said.
"They would never hurt us", Carmella said.
"I didn't say that, but something just isn't right. I've only felt like this around hunters", Bayley said.
Adelaide listened silently.
"You think they might be attached to one?", Brie asked.
"Or they are hunters", Addie said.
The women looked at her.
"All this is so strange", Addie said.
"That house has been empty for about three years. Why now are they suddenly claiming it?", Nikki said.
"Okay stop. They would never hurt us and it hurts that all of you are suddenly turning on them. This isn't their fault", Carmella said.
"No. Its mine", Addie said, before walking into the kitchen.
"I didn't, I never said that", Carmella said to her mom and aunt.
Brie rubbed Carmella's back.
"She's just tired of all of this, like we all are", Brie said.
"I refuse to believe that they are hunters", Carmella said.
"For now, let's not use magic in front of them or around the house. If for some reason you need too, close the curtains", Nikki said.
They all agreed. Brie walked into the kitchen to find Addie opening the bottle of wine Roman brought over.
"He picked your favorite. Maybe a small part of him remembers that", Brie said.
"It's just coincidence mom. Don't read into it", Addie said, chugging her glass of wine.
She poured herself more.
"Slow down with that, okay", Brie said.
Addie sent her mom a thumbs up. She grabbed both bottles and walked out back. Sitting on the porch swing.
Carmella and Bayley joined her.
"You didn't turn on the lights?", Bayley asked.
Addie lifted her hand and snapped her fingers, the lights that they had hung turned on.
"What happened to no magic", Carmella smirked.
"Blame the wine", Addie said, finishing her cup and grabbing the bottle.
She chugged straight from the bottle.
"I'm sorry we are all stuck like this", Addie said.
"It's not your fault and I don't understand why you don't see that. Alexa did this to us, if anyone is to blame it's her. She knew the consequences and still went along with it.", Carmella said.
"We will find a way out of this", Bayley said.
The girls hugged each other and finished the wine. Both bottles.
"Remember that time, the pipe broke in the apartment in Iowa and flooded not only our place, but theirs. They looked so good soaking wet", Carmella said.
Bayley and Addie laughed.
"We need more wine, I'll be right back", Bayley said.
"Just use magic Bay, hello", Addie slurred.
Bayley nodded and tapped the empty bottle three times. It filled with wine.
"I love being a witch", Bayley said.
After the guys showered and ate dinner. They walked down to the basement.
"Five women, easy to take out.", Roman said.
Dean raised his hand. Roman raised a brow and nodded.
"Am I the only one who thought all those women were crazy attractive?", Dean asked.
"Nope", Seth said.
"Don't let lust cloud your judgement", Roman said.
"Says the man who couldn't stop starring at Adelaide", Dean said.
Roman rolled his eyes.
"I was shocked, alright", Roman said.
"Sure, we'll go with that big bro", Dean said.
"Anyway, let's get back on track", Roman said.
"I call dibs on Carmella", Dean said, raising his hand.
Roman rubbed his eyes.
"I've got Bayley", Seth said quickly.
"Are you both done?", Roman asked.
Both men nodded.
"Good. Dean, I'm going to need you to set up cameras outside of the house. Seth, get me pictures of all five women. I want to know where they work, shop, and eat. Who they hang out with", Roman said.
"Yes sir", Seth said.
"Good, now I'm off to bed", Roman said.
Dean saluted and Seth waved.
"You guys drive me crazy", Roman said.
"But you love us", Seth called after him.
"Yeah, lucky for you two, I do", Roman said.
He heard them chuckle before closing the door to his room. He could see the house from here.
"Adelaide", he said softly.
