Farrah wakes up. Her head still felt slightly dizzy.

"Eat your breakfast, dear. Before it got cold," orders her mom.

No appetite.

She can't stop thinking about him. Luciano Monk. Is he really her boyfriend? He looks like a bad ass. Rough manners. Tough looking man. Like an untamed beast.

But when he kissed her. It felt so gentle. Melting her. Wanting for more.

A hit to her head.

"No daydreaming. Finish your meal."

"Yes, mother."

"The others won't stay too long. I will chase them out."

"Can't they stay, mother? Please... I'm lonely..."

"I'm the only one you need, child. Wash the plates. I have to go out for a while," says her mother while kissing her head.

"Yes, mother..."

A tree roots suddenly emerges from the ground and strikes him.

Monk avoids the ambush in the last moment.

A woman's face on the root yells, "Leave at once!"

"Not without Farrah!" yells Monk.

"She's my daughter!"

"She's mine!"

The demon Hunter is fighting roots. Drake chuckles. Monk is seriously arguing with tree roots.

The Incubus vanishes.

A knock on the door.

Farrah stops washing the dishes. She wipes her wet hands on her apron. Then she opens the door.

A very handsome man is standing in front of the hut.

"Oh, it's you..." says her.

"You remember me?" asks him.

She shakes her head.

She says, "You came few times. But mother never let you into our house. She said you are an evil demon."

"Farrah, Judith isn't your real mother."

"Yes, she is."

"Look at me..."

(My head is spinning. What happened?)

Farrah fainted after staring to his hazel eyes. Drake lifts her up and vanishes again.

Judith was too late to save her daughter from the Incubus. Her roots strike the hut and it crumbles down instantly.

"Let me go!"

She kept struggling so Drake finally releases her. Farrah falls to the ground.

"Your boyfriend is waiting for you, Farrah," says Drake.

"Liar! Mother said I had no boyfriend," protests her.

"Judith isn't your mom. She is a crazy dryad. I took you to her to heal you. But she wanted to trap you forever."

"Liar! Liar! Liar!" yells her while covering her ears.

"I'm your friend, Farrah. I won't lie to you," says Drake sadly.

Another man suddenly says, "Alive and warm. A pleasant surprise."

Drake gasps.
