"Danielle, my sweet girl, are you still concealing your powers?" Gail asked her.

"Yes." Danielle replied looking at her hands. Concealing her powers meant screaming without anyone hearing her.

"Stop concealing them." Gail told her and Danielle looked up. "It's time you embrace them. It's time that you scream, Danielle."

Dani placed the ring around her neck and left her aunt Gail as the sun was rising. Promising to her aunt to stop by more regularly than she usually does. It's not that Dani and Gail weren't close. They were. They are still. But ever since Danielle moved in her own flat and started college, she had less time for her aunt. Nevertheless, she visited as much as she could. She even took Kenzi with twice. And Gail had loved the dark-haired girl.

Gail was reassured to know that Danielle wasn't alone in this world. She was reassured to know that Kenzi and now Bo were in her life. A human to keep her grounded in this world and a fae to help her embrace her powers and get stronger. Danielle had to be stronger now more than ever. She needed Danielle to fully control her powers, to be able to defeat her mother.

Dani stepped in the clubhouse, not expecting the welcome she had. Kenzi ran to her and threw herself into Dani's arms.

"Oh, DeeDee, I'm so glad you're back. We were so worried about you." Kenzi pulled away. "Where the hell have you been?"

"There was no need to worry about me." Danielle reassured her. "I just needed to see Gail. She said hello by the way." Danielle continued dropping Bo's keys on the counter. "Tank's full."

"Who's Gail?" Bo asked her.

"My aunt on my father's side." Dani explained. "I needed some answers and it couldn't wait."

"Hey, are you okay?" Bo rubbed her arm softly.

"I'm better." Danielle smiled to her friends.

Bo hugged tightly. "We're here." She said.

"I know." Danielle retorted.

"Group hug." Kenzi hugged Danielle from behind. The two faes chuckled.

Dani dried her hair as she looked at herself in the mirror. She quit the loose clothes and went back at her skinny jeans and buttoned up shirt. She had a blue one on. She let her still wet hair loose on her shoulders. And stared at the tweed jacket that was hanging on the chair. It was cleaned, blood free. She walked up to it with a small smile. She grabbed and pressed it against her chest. "I'll make you proud." She whispered into her jacket.

"Dani, Dyson called." Bo called out as Dani stepped in the living room wearing her trademark tweed jacket. "Apparently he thinks he found her but they need you to identify her."

"I'm ready." Danielle replied, she then threw her arm over Kenzi's shoulders. "Thanks for cleaning it."

"Anytime." Kenzi answered.

"Lil' Red, you look better." Hale greeted her.

"Thanks." Danielle replied. "And thank you again for last time."

"Don't mention it." Hale said side hugging her briefly.

Dyson walked up to them. "Where is she?" Danielle asked her.

"Gone." Dyson retorted.

"What?" Dani said confused.

"What do you mean she's gone?" Bo questioned him as confused as Danielle.

"Her lawyer got involved." Dyson said as a brunette woman and a blonde walked by them.

Danielle's eyes met Darcy's. They both stared at each other for a matter of seconds but it was enough for Danielle to see that Darcy was dressed in a simple summer dress with dark tights on. Her flat shoes were yellow and her lipstick a deep red. As she looked at Danielle, Darcy wore a slight smirk on her lips. Walking free out of the precinct.

Danielle didn't feel any anger or hate. Just a feeling of coldness spreading through her veins. All of this was so much more than just Josh's death. It was about her and her heritage. It was about her mother and the Banshees.

"…the lawyer was hired by Miss Ball." Dyson continued as Dani went back to the conversation that was still going on.

"Miss Lucille Ball." Danielle clarified. "Redhead actress during the '30s and the 80's." She sighed. "My mother loved her a lot. Probably still do."

"There's nothing we can do, Dani. Sorry." Dyson apologized.

"You did your best." Danielle shook her head.

"What do you want to do now?" Kenzi asked her.

Danielle exhaled deeply. "Nothing."

"Are you sure this is what you want?" Bo asked her.

"No." Danielle answered. "But my mother is looking for me. That means Darcy is not going anywhere but she won't do anything either." She paused. "My mother wants me alive and Darcy won't jeopardize that."

"What if you're wrong? What if she's coming after you? What then?" Bo questioned her.

"I'm a Banshee." Danielle said confidently. "Let her try."

Dani was sitting in the couch later that night. A notebook sat on her lap, her pencil running on the page lightly as she tried to draw once again her father's face from memory by the glowing light of the TV screen.

She blinked when the lights in the clubhouse was switched on suddenly. She blinked a few more times before turning around to find out who did switch the light on. And she groaned when she saw who it was.

"You might as well live here." She commented as Dyson poured himself a cup of water.

"Is that an invitation?" Dyson asked smirking.

"Yeah. You move in and I move out." Dani replied as she ran her finger on the paper. Dyson sat down next to her. "And please cover up." She threw a blanket at him.

"Who's that?" Dyson asked as he wrapped himself in the blanket, just to humor her.

"My father." Dani replied. "Neal Jenning."

"You miss him?" Dyson questioned her.

"I do. Now more than ever." Dani exhaled. She looked at Dyson. "But I learned to live without him."

"And without the Faes." Dyson added.

"Gail thought I would be safer away from them." She explained. "Protected."

"It doesn't make you safer. It makes you weaker." Dyson argued.

"I'm not weak. I have Bo, the Succubus, and Kenzi, my favorite human."

"They're not enough to keep you protected from your mother."

"I am going to protect them from my mother. Not the other way around." Dani clarified. "Don't worry about it." She exhaled.

"Dyson." Bo called softly. "Dani, you're still awake?"

"Yeah but I'm going to bed in a minute." Dani replied.

"Alright." Bo smiled. "Dyson, you're coming back? We're not over, yet."

"Yeah, coming." Dyson casted a last glance at Dani before following Bo.

"Yeah, if it comes down to it, I'll kill for them." Dani whispered to herself.

It's a short one and nothing much happened. But I like how this chapter turned out. Do not worry, though. Another chapter is coming up.
