Tampico, Mexico. 0004 Hours
Ring….Ring…Ring…"Hello?"
"Hello? Blue eyes? Is that you?" Nadie asked as a female voice picked up the phone. "Oh…no, one second please…" Nadie heard rustle and sounds on the receiver until Jody picked up, "Hello?"
"Blue Eyes! I need your help. They have Ellis!" Jody moved the receiver slightly away from her ear to prevent Nadie's screaming from damaging her hearing. "Wait? What? What do you mean they have her? Who is they?" Jody asked trying to make sense of Nadie's words since she had just been woken from a peaceful sleep.
"Your people, the witches, they took her!" Nadie explained annoyed at having to explain everything and losing time. "How do you know it was them?" Jody asked, "It had to be them. I just know it, who else would take her away? She's not in the bounty 'wanted' list, so there are no others that would take her but them."
"Fine, I will go to the headquarters right now," Jody started but was interrupted by Nadie, "No! I will go with you! Tell me where you are and I will meet up with you," Nadie said pleadingly.
"Alright. Meet me in Pachuca, then we will go to the headquarters together," Jody said as she rose from her bed, "Okay. I'll be there in a few hours, I'm leaving now." Nadie hung up and ran towards her jeep and started towards Pachuca without worrying about speed limits. 'Ellis, I'm coming.'
Jody walked towards her wardrobe looking for clothes, "Do you want me to come along?" the woman lying on the bed asked as she sat up on the bed looking on as Jody walked towards the shower. "I kind of need you to, since they won't let me in, but you still have access right?" Jody asked turning to face her, "Yes, but are you sure it's not too dangerous? It's still dark out, they have the upper hand," her companion said looking worriedly into her eyes.
"Don't worry," Jody answered as she sat on the bed beside her, planting a lingering kiss on her lips, "By the time we arrive, the sun will have already come out to protect us," She kissed her one more time before leaving to the shower with a smile.

Pachuca, Mexico. 0007 Hours
"Nadie!" Jody walked towards the jeep that had just parked in front of their apartment complex, "I didn't think I'd see you again." Nadie nodded and shook her hand, 'Yes well, here I am, now can we please leave? I don't know what the hell your friends could be doing to Ellis right now."
"Don't worry Nadie, we'll get Ellis back safely, I'm just waiting for someone," Nadie looked around the parking lot, "who?"
"Oh, there she is," Jody said turning to a woman in a dark business suit who walked towards them. She had brow hair that graced her shoulders and green eyes that sparkled with the light. "Nadie, this is my girlfriend Jayden," Jody presented as she came beside the girl and place and arm around her waist lovingly.
"Nice to meet you," Nadie said as she shook the woman's hand and asked as she turned to Jody, "She's coming with us?"
"Yes, I no longer have access to the building where they probably have Ellis, but she does. She's part of the council," Jody answered for the girl as she started to move towards her Lexus LF-A.
"What? Part of the council? Did you have something to do with them taking Ellis?" Nadie asked in anger as she reflexively moved her hand to the gun-holster. Jody turned quickly when she heard Nadie to find her girlfriend staring back defiantly at the gun that was now pointed to her face. "Nadie!" Jody screamed as she tried pushing the gun away as she stood between Jayden and the gun, "She had nothing to do with this. She has been on vacation with me! Put the gun down!"
Nadie breathed heavily as she lowered the gun and felt a tear roll down from her eye, "Sorry…I'm just really not myself right now…I know I have no excuse but I'm really nervous about what could be happening to Ellis right now…I mean, what if they hurt her and I can't be there for her like I promised? I should be taking care of her…I'm so sorry." Jody sighed in relief as Nadie placed the gun down but quickly moved to catch Nadie as she collapsed with tears flowing freely from her eyes. "Nadie…come down, It's okay, we'll get her back safe okay?" Jody said as she tried to calm the younger girl down as she held her in her arms.
"Okay…" Nadie said as she slowly rose up in weak legs, "I have to be strong for Ellis, let's go."

Undisclosed Location, Holding Cells. 0900 Hours
"Damn it!" screamed a woman as she looked on through a glass panel as Ellis collapsed on the floor. "This is the fifth time! You said that with this we would be able to harvest her powers, did you not?" the woman asked as she turned to another woman who was standing beside her in a white robe, "Yes Ms. Castillo, it's just that to be able to get a hold of them she must first summon them, and then from there the machine will take over," the scientist explained nervously as she maneuvered robotic hands inside the chamber that grabbed Ellis by her arms and raised her up to a standing position.
"Well try again! There must be a way!" the woman in dark clad said as she turned and started for the door but turned before leaving, "When I come back you had better have something for me!"
She walked furiously out of the room towards the elevator but stopped as she heard a small chuckle from behind her. Turning around in full force she found the source of the sound, "Maria, what do you want?" she asked in an overly annoyed tone.
"Angelica, why are you upset? You knew this would never work even before you began. I warned you," Angelica rolled her eyes as she turned around, ignoring the old woman completely. She had a high dislike of the woman, for although Maria was one of the highest elders of the council, she was always against Angelica's plans and was always warning her of failures to come. "Rude as always, my dear. But lately you have been more irritable than usual, is this because of Jayden?" Angelica froze in her spot, clenching her fist as her blood boiled, 'Damn woman!' "Mother! You need to stay out of my damn business!"
Maria chuckled lightly, "Angelica, do you really think you can hide your feelings from me? I know you had strong feelings for her but she broke up with you because she was in love with Jody. Please get over it and stop what you are doing. You are only hurting yourself and Ellis," Maria said and quickly grabbed her daughter's arm to stop her from leaving when the latter turned away, "Listen to me, you will never get Ellis' power because she is not with her most important person. I already told you the story of why witches lost their powers. It's the same with her, she is powerless without her love."
Angelica pulled back her arm freeing herself from her mother's grip. Of course she remembered the story, how could she had forgotten something so horrible? Her mother had told her one day as she grew up and had discovered she was a descendant of a witch and had witch's blood in her. She remembered it clearly…
"Angelica, what are you doing?" Maria asked as she came behind her teenage daughter who sat silently beside the lake, "I was wondering mom, how come I have no powers no matter how hard I try?" Angelica asked as she flickered some water with her fingers. "Oh…that's because the witches lost their power," Maria answered as she lowered herself to sit beside her daughter, "but why mother? Why did they lose them?" the girl inquired impatiently from her mother who sighed, "Angelica, the witches made a great mistake that we must remember to never repeat again…they stopped loving."
Angelica looked on to her mother confused, "what do you mean?" Maria looked at the setting sun in silence for a minute but continued as she turned to see her daughter's pleading eyes, "Our ancestors possessed great power but some of them decided that they were too powerful to live among 'mere humans' as they called them, and decided to move to a land where they would make their own town and live by themselves among those with power. For one's powers to manifest, they must find their one true love, their soul mates, and although some were lucky enough to find them among themselves, most were not."
"So you mean because it was all girls they couldn't keep the generations going?" Angelica asked as she thought she now understood the problem, but found she was wrong when her mother let out a small laugh, "Of course not Angelica! That had nothing to do with it actually, since there were male witches, and those that had soul mates of the same sex were also able to bear children, since their powers made miracles as such, possible. The problem was that their leader prohibited them from leaving and any from coming, so they were stuck and were not able to go out and look for their real love. This way slowly they were unable to control their powers and lost them. One day they all disappeared and nobody heard from them again."
Angelica looked up to her mother and saw a tear roll down her eye, "mom…" she said as she took her mother's hand in her own, "I'm sorry Angelica, it's just that it's sad for me to think about that." Maria said as she smiled at her daughter wiping a tear away.
"So how did we get here? What happened to our ancestors?" Angelica asked confused, it didn't made sense to her how they existed if all the ancestors had disappeared. "Some lucky souls were able to escape the city, but unfortunately it was already too late, as they had already lost their powers," Maria explained as she saw her daughter's perplexed expression.
"So if I find my soul mate I'll have powers?" Angelica asked excitedly as she thought of the possibilities she would have with her powers, "The curse of the city Winay Marka can only be broken with the purest of loves, so if you find that, then you can, but don't look for love just because of power Angelica. It will only bring you pain," Maria said as she recalled her grandmother's warning, whom had told her the same story when she had been a teenager as well.
Angelica stood up from beside her mother as she rolled her eyes at the warning and ran towards the house as she thought about all she could do once she had her powers.
Angelica had grown up looking for a way to acquire powers and when she had been rejected by Jayden she had gone to the extremes to get powers, even if it involved hurting others.
Maria saw the elevator door with her daughter aboard it. She walked towards the room where Ellis was being held. Once there, a tear fell as she saw Ellis crying through the glass.
"Stop that! Don't you see it's hurting her?" Maria ordered but the scientist shook her head, "I'm sorry but we can't stop, Ms. Castillo has ordered for us to continue until she reacts, besides, this isn't supposed to be painful, we don't know why she's crying."
Maria looked closer through the glass as she saw the girl standing limply against the robotic arms that held her up. 'Why are you crying child?…Why?'

Mexico City, Mexico. 0920 Hours
"We're here," Jody announced as she parked the car on a crowded street near a large building on the business district of the city. "Here? Isn't this a bit of an obvious place to put a building full of witches?" Nadie asked as she looked around and jumped out of their car.
"That's exactly why it was put here Nadie, it's such a populated place that nobody would even care enough to suspect," Jayden said as she also got out of the car.
"Okay, let's go," Nadie said as she started towards the large building but was stopped as Jody placed an arm on her shoulder holding her in place, "No Nadie, we are going to stay here until Jayden give's us the thumbs-up that it's safe to go in. Remember I'm not allowed in, and they probably are on the lookout for you too if they have Ellis here."
Nadie rolled her eyes but gave up and said as she sighed in defeat, "Okay, but please hurry Jayden."
Jayden nodded and walked off towards the building, "Don't worry Nadie, we can trust her," Jody said as they looked on to Jayden's retreating figure.
*******
"Ms. Castillo, There is a trespasser on the property." Angelica looked out from her office's large window and saw the silhouette of a female walking towards her building. She moved to her desk and smiled when she recognized the girl thorough her computer screen.
"Let her in. Don't let her know that her access has been taken away." She ordered through the intercom.
"Understood."
Angelica left her office and walked towards the elevator, 'Finally Jayden, I will make you regret choosing Hayward over me…'
*******
"Can I see your identification please?" A woman asked as soon as Jayden stepped into the building, "Of course, here you go," answered Jayden as she handed over her identification card.
"Okay Ms. Silver. Access is granted." Jayden smiled as she walked past the guard and entered one of the elevators that was not in use. She traveled to the lower floor where she knew the holding cells where kept and the experimenting room was located.
She walked down the large hall and felt a shiver run down her back as she heard soft whimpers near her. She hurried to the room where the sounds came from and entered to find Ellis lying on the cold floor of her holding cell.
"Ellis! Ellis!" Jayden said as she tried to wake the girl up whom seem to be in a bad dream. She quickly took out her cell phone and called Jody, "Jody? Listen she's here com-" Jayden was unable to finish the call when a cold hand reached for her cell phone and threw it against the wall.
"Angelica?!" Jayden asked in complete shocked to find her ex-girlfriend standing before her with a malicious look on her face. "Jayden, so nice of you to come by…" Angelica said as she motioned for some guards to take Jayden, "How about you stay with me for a while? We need to talk" she said with a smirk on her face as she was taken away. 'Finally…Finally…'
*******
"Jayden?! Jayden!" Jody spoke frantically onto the phone as the call was cut off with a large 'smack' sound coming from the other end.
"What happened?" Nadie asked as she saw Jody's shocked expression.
"They took her…Angelica took her…" Jody answered slowly not believing what had happened.
"Then let's go Jody! Don't just stand there. We have to get them back!" Nadie said as she ran towards the building. "Right, let's go." Jody said as she followed Nadie inside. They would get them back. They had to get them back…
