The men sat quietly as they listened. If you would have asked them, they wouldn't believe it, but the proof was here in their hands.
"Alexa? As in the blonde woman who use to work for you?", Roman asked.
Brie nodded.
"She's stuck here too. Well, its her fault to begin with", Brie replied.
"How do we break it?", Dean asked.
"Your guess is as good as ours. We've tried everything, except…", Nikki stopped.
"Except what?", Seth asked.
Nikki and Brie looked at each other. Carmella sighed.
"Except dark magic", she said.
"Like killing someone?", Dean asked.
The women nodded.
"Are you?", Roman asked.
"Of course not.", Bayley snapped.
"Addie is rereading all the books in hopes to find something. Thinking maybe she missed one", Brie added.
"And what if we can find one? What happens then?", Roman asked.
"What do you mean?", Brie asked.
"Do you disappear? Live a natural life and then die of old age? What?", he asked.
"We don't know. This is new for us", Nikki answered.
Roman rubbed his eyes.
"Like we said, its dark magic", Bayley added.
"Which we don't do, so we don't know", Carmella said.
"Our dad has a few books at home. We've never read them, but he says they belong to witches he's…", Dean stopped.
"If you can get your hands on them, we would like to see them. There could be something in one that can at least help", Trish said.
Dean nodded.
"This is all so weird", Roman mumbled.
"It was for us too. The first few years after you were killed the first time. We didn't age, so we had to move and change our names around", Brie said.
"Then we ran into you, the way you three looked at us was like the first time we met.", Carmella smiled.
"Did you avoid us then too?", Dean asked.
"No.", she replied.
"Then you died. We searched and searched for answers, a spell to break the curse.", Bayley said.
"Then we gave up. We couldn't watch you die anymore. Addie stopped using her magic and locked herself up in her room for a few years.", Carmella added.
"But you still found a way", Brie said, looking at Roman.
"After that we decided to tell you guys who we were after date number two. You took it like champs", Carmella said.
"Well after, running and screaming not to hurt you", Bayley added, making Carmella giggle.
"Good times", Mella said.
Roman cleared his throat.
"Can I go check on her?", Roman asked.
Brie smiled.
"I think you should", she nodded.
Roman stood and made his way out back. She was on their porch swing.
"Can I join you?", he asked.
"Do I have a choice?", she asked.
He chuckled.
"Not really", he replied.
She patted the seat beside her. Once he sat, he opened the books.
"This doesn't seem real", he said softly.
"It was like that for me too, at first", she replied.
"Can't imagine what you went through", he said.
She shrugged.
"You missed out on so much. We both did", he added.
She looked at him confused.
"What do you mean?", she asked.
"Marriage, kids, and just growing old together.", he shrugged.
She liked that he said together.
"I know", she mumbled.
"Can I ask a question?", he asked.
She nodded.
"I heard witches don't grow old though, so how?", he asked.
She smiled.
"We don't, unless we give up our immortality. Which a lot of us do if we marry a normal non-witch.", she replied.
He nodded.
"Would you have done that for me?", he asked.
She smiled.
"In a heartbeat", she replied.
He leaned over and kissed her. She let him.
"I'm going to help you figure this out for us. I want to grow old with you", he whispered.
She nodded.
"You don't even know me", she whispered.
"But I do. I might not remember it, but I know you", he nodded.
Addie smiled.
"And I'm sorry, about your friends. My mind and that of my brothers was clouded by revenge.", he added.
"I know", she nodded.
"We should get inside and come up with a game plan. The sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can grow old together", he said.
She nodded and took his hand as they walked inside. By the looks of things, everyone else made up too. Which Addie knew they would.
"So first thing is first, dad. Once we deal with dad and drive him away from Salem, we can focus on breaking the curse", Dean said.
Everyone nodded.
"Won't he notice if books are missing?", Bayley asked.
"No, we usually borrow to brush up on our studies.", Seth answered.
They nodded. Addie went over to Trish.
"Have you heard anything on Alexa? She came by the bowling alley today", Addie said.
Trish shook her head no.
"Should we be worried?", Trish asked.
As much as Addie blamed Alexa for this mess, she didn't want to see her get hurt.
"I just have a bad feeling", Addie whispered.
Trish nodded.
"I'll send a group out to find her.", Trish said.
"And have them beware of the hunters. They will be coming tomorrow", Addie reminded.
Trish nodded before looking at everyone.
"Well, it was nice meeting you boys, again, but I must go. A lot of things to take care of", Trish said, before waving her arm and disappearing.
"We should go too. We have to clean up and hide the evidence we have on you before our dad and brother come over", Dean said.
"We'll let you say goodnight", Brie said, before she and Nikki disappeared into the kitchen.
Roman looked at Addie and gently touched her cheek.
"See you in a few days. I would introduce you to my dad and brother, but, I really don't want you around other hunters", he said.
"I get it", she replied.
He kissed her forehead.
"Visit me in my dreams", he whispered.
She smiled.
"So you know it was me last time", she replied.
He chuckled.
"Dream was too vivid not to be", he replied.
"I will", she whispered.
He left one last kiss before leaving with Dean and Seth.
"We can do it this time. I mean, there has to be a reason why they are hunters this time.", Carmella said.
Bayley nodded.
"Mella is right. The books their dad has, they have to have something", Bayley added.
Addie sighed. For the first time in a long time, she had hope that they could break the curse.
"I agree", Addie nodded.
