"Monday Catherine is back"

"Alya, my child, please take all your laundry that you washed earlier. They are already dry. Don't leave a single piece of your clothes outside, especially your underwear. Your granny will be mad again, so please..." Alya's mom said, but her daughter gave her a frown reaction and said.

"Mom, wherein the computer age. That belief that Lola told you, they never exist now in the era." Alya said.

"Alya? Are we going to argue this again? Besides, we will be here for two weeks." Her mom said.

"What? Seriously? You tricked me, Mom. You said we would be here until tomorrow," Alya said.

"Alya, your dad, and I need more days as we are still waiting for your aunt, who said they will be here next week. We can't bury your grandmother while her other children haven't arrived yet to see your grandmother for the last time." Her mom explains that they didn't notice her dad hear everything she said, and that is why she was scolded by her dad.

"No, you never understand me at all. You guys tricked me. this is so unfair!" She said and she ran away as she went to her room and slammed the door of her room.

"Spoiled brat!" Her dad said and tried to open the door of her room but her dad stopped by her mother and said.

"Let's give her a time, she's too young to understand what's happening right now. let me talk to her once everything is okay." Her mom said.

"Magnolia, I don't why you have a lot of patience with that woman but I am lucky to have you as my wife." Her dad said.

Meanwhile,

"Jin Ae is recovering now; we have to get here in the white dove facility as the Babaylan can assure us that the curse will be removed from Jin Ae's body," Ethan said.

"E, where's Baekhyun?" Aki asks.

"He said he would be visiting a friend of his mom and checking if her mom was there," Ethan said but he didn't know that Baekhyun went back to the small town where his sister was cursed and he faced the mayor of the town by himself.

"If I were you, you would allow me to release your pet and remove the curse that you gave to my sister," Baekhyun said.

"And why should I do that? Over my dead body." The mayor said as his face was bloody, due to the attacks that Baekhyun gave to him.

"Well, if you wish to see Satan in hell, I will give it to you," Baekhyun said as his claws slowly grew and when he tried to attack the mayor he was stopped by a familiar woman.

"Hunong!" Said the woman who cast a spell on both of them. They were stunned as they recognized the woman who did the spell.

"The new witch leader," The mayor said.

"Hello, Mayor Montes do you still recognize this face?" the woman said.

"Catherine? Is it you?" Baekhyun asks.

"Yes, Kuya Baekhyun, and surprise for you Mayor Montes. You will have to pay for what you did to my friend." Catherine said and she summoned her book that immediately floated in the air while she was casting a spell. Gradually the mayor feels uneasy.

"What are you doing?" The mayor asks but Catherine smiles at him and continues casting a spell. Baekhyun saw in his own eyes what happened to the mayor.

"I can't breathe, help me please..." The mayor said while trying to reach Baekhyun as he was standing right next to him.

"I can't hear you, mayor," Baekhyun said as he turned himself back into his human form. When they both see the mayor turn into a seed and then Catherine immediately grabs the seed and she puts this on her pocket.

"What is happening Catherine? Why is it the mayor turns to a seed?" Baekhyun asks.

"A long story Kuya, but one thing that I can confirm, Jin Ae is now free from the curse as well as these creatures," Catherine said as she referred to the Sigbin while Baekhyun was staring at those creatures.

"Are you going to continue your tasks Kuya?" Catherine asks.

"Yes, for me to see my mom," Baekhyun said.

"Well, I have an idea that even the black dove members will not notice if the Sigbin that you will bring for them is authentic or not," Catherine said.

"How?" Baekhyun asks and Catherine takes a strand of fur from a Sigbin then she orders Baekhyun to take a piece of stone which Baekhyun immediately grabs a piece of a stone then he gives it to Catherine.

"These creatures need to go back to the sanctuary," Catherine said, and she immediately waved her hands, and instant the creature disappeared.

"Now, Kuya, bring this stone to your grandfather they will see this as the Sigbin while in our eyes this is a normal stone. Once you will get the info about your mom stay away immediately, and as much as you can. Please don't tell your Harabeoji about yourself, being a Gumiho. You don't know how the black dove wanted to catch a Gumiho, that was a sad story that happened to a Gumiho who turns into a Nogitsune." Catherine said.

Going back to Alya who had forgotten to take her laundry out of the clothesline, until a strange creature came to it and smelled all her clothes one by one including her underwear but the creature immediately disappeared as her mom was shouting at her as she forgot to take her laundry.

"Alya, you didn't take your clothes again. You never listen to me." Her mom said while taking her clothes off the clothesline.

On another side of the story,

"Nana Esther? How's my friend?" Alexis asks as he worries for his friend.

"He's okay now, but I am worried about the Nogitsune, he earns his Eighth tail. He will become stronger." Esther said.

"That's what I also worried Nana Esther; I have a lot of confidence that the Nogitsune will not mess with us anymore but it turns out that his disciple moved for him so that he could succeed in his plan," Alexis said.

"The important your friend is okay now," Nana Esther said.

"But what is the next creature that the Nogitsune needs to earn his ninth tail?" Alexis asks.

"That's the problem because the prophecy was changed." Nana Esther said and that was exactly what Calista explained to Kaito.

"How is that possible? Maybe you tricked me." Kaito said

"For me to prove myself about the new prophecy, read this loudly to us," Calista said as she immediately showed what was written in her book.

"The Nogitsune needs the blood of a Tamawo which he will earn his tail of destruction but the only creature that can stop the Nogitsune is the creature from the Philippines, Japan, and Korea," Kiato said and read those words in front of them.

"That was too deep huh? The old prophecy said the only creature that could kill the Nogitsune was the Sigbinan but now it has changed." Daisuke said.

"But who are they?" Maverick asks.

"If the prophecy said this came from our country, therefore, that still the Sigbinan but from Japan and Korea? Who and what?" Zac added.

"That is the task that we need to know and use your knowledge about astrology and for being a witch," Kaito said as he gave Calista the book that he was holding.

"Will do Kaito-sama. And I am not a witch, I am a Babaylan" Calista said then she grabbed her book and left immediately to the room.

Going back to Nana Amelia's place, Baekhyun and Catherine arrive at the place.

"Catherine? Is that you? your hair color change?" Nana Amelia said.

"Yes, Lola Amelia and I am so happy to see you again," Catherine said and bowed to the old lady.

"Why is it your hair turns red? Did your Lola approve of that hair color? You know what young lady; your hair looks so healthy but if you dye your hair~." Nana Amelia didn't finish what she said when her grandchild stopped her and said.

"Nana Amelia, that hair color was in today," Baekhyun said.

"Baekhyun, my apo. you're a K-pop in Korea so, we understand that your hair is like that and Esther's grandchild is not, she's the new witch leader in their coven." Nana Amelia said and winked at Catherine.

"Lola, she looks so beautiful in this new look, right?" Aki said.

"Well, Yes, and by the way Catherine, did you visit the La Fiery?" Nana Amelia asks.

"La Who?" Ethan asks.

"It's a long story, Kuya Ethan, I was chosen by the fiery spirit to be the keeper of the heart of Hestia before the rightful keeper got this from me. But yes Lola Amelia. I saw Ate Gabriela again in fact she wanted to give this to you." Catherine said and she handed Amelia a small bag where this was full of tea and herbs.

"The Jasmine and Rose, This the best tea wait let me prepare a tea for us. I am sure that you guys will love it." Nana Amelia said and immediately went to her kitchen.

"Let me help you, Nana," Akihiko said.

"You better help me, because Elijah will be here next week." Nana Amelia said which made Akihiko smile and he asked more about the visit of Elijah.

When Nana Amelia and Aki left to room, Catherine asked about her friends Jin Ae and Jasmine.

"Jin Ae is okay, the Babaylan was trying their best to remove the curse from her body but she's okay now you don't have to worry about her," Baekhyun said.

"I am relieved on what you have told me Kuya Baekhyun, and what is your plan? Are you going to trick your Lolo about that stone?" Catherine asks and Ethan looks at him.

"For your mom's safety, Jasmine gave us an update yesterday. She saw the minions of her lolo in the town where Baekhyun and Jin Ae's mom was hiding but Jasmine and Ambrose were trying their best not to discover where their mom is." Ethan said.

"Ambrose? Jasmine's ex?" Catherine said.

Meanwhile, in the town, Jasmine and Ambrose as they worked together to repel Mr. Choi's minions on that town.

"Ambrose, what are you doing? If they will see you this is a big problem. Come back here and I will disturb them." Jasmine said and she immediately used her mask.

"That was the mask that we used earlier when we made love. But why are you using that again?" Ambrose asks.

"I don't have anything to use to hide my identity, Let them think that I am a vigilante. Let them call me..." Jasmine said and she used her weather pipe.

"Call you the bunny girl?" Ambrose said,

"No, the census girl who will count how many people lived in a house," Jasmine said and she immediately used the weather pipe that released a strong wind that caused the goons to scatter on different parts of the street. While Ambrose laughs and says.

"She's crazy and I love the way she's being crazy," Ambrose said and left that place.

Going back to Alya...

Alya saw a man from the place where they put their clothes after they wash and the guy smiled at her when the guy saw her.

"Who is that guy?" Alya asks her cousin.

"Where?" Her cousin asks when she turns back to the place where she saw the guy it suddenly disappears.

"Maybe he left already," Alya said.

"Cousin, let's go to the kitchen as Tita Magnolia needs these plates." Her cousin said and they immediately went inside.
