 **Dez** ("I adjusted her mind. I hope you don't mind, but I need to keep you close. You are in danger.") Ruby looks like she's thinking things over. "I'm sorry, Haven, I'm just really tired."("Thank you. I promise to explain everything to you later.") She composed herself quickly. ("How long have we been dating then? It's going to be hard pretending like I know you.  And can you hear everything I'm thinking or just what I say to you?") He didn't answer, great. Now I have to be careful what I am thinking until I know the answer. "Ruby, I have to go home for a couple days. My mom needs me for a family emergency, she didn't say what's going on though." Haven looked worried; she was frowning. "Okay, do you want me to help you pack?" She smiled before saying, "No thanks, I want to be alone for a bit. I'll make sure I lock the doors when I leave. My flight leaves in a few hours so I have to hurry." "Alright, text me when you land." She hugged Haven

  *Ruby* It had only been on night since Dez had left. I feel completely empty and the energy outside wasn’t normal. Even the dogs could sense something wasn’t right. They have been pacing and sniffing the air all day. They have refused to go outside. When I opened the door they just stared outside. Growling at something I couldn’t see. Maybe getting them wasn’t a good idea, they can’t protect me from this. At least I’m not alone.  *Unknown*“Haven! How have you been?” She has grown so much. It’s time for her to take her place in our family.“I’m fine, Uncle. Mom said there was an emergency and you needed to see me right away.” Haven kept her eyes down. She knew better than you challenge me.“I see you haven’t forgotten your place. That’s good. You have been under cover for some time now. Have

**Dez**Viktor told me that I can not return home. He said that it is very important to make sure Ruby stays safe. Ozias and Atara are the only ones we can trust. They are headed to the vault to go over the prophecy. I have been back with Ruby for four days. She has been a little distant with me, I hope she tells me what is bothering her. It seems like she wants to tell me something. The dogs are very alert. It seems like they know something is coming. I haven’t sensed anything yet. I am starting to think they aren’t normal dogs. Maybe I am just being more paranoid since the talk with Viktor.“Hey, Dez. Can I talk to you please?” Ruby walked in the living room.“Of course, love. You can talk to me about anything.” I want her to know she can trust me completely.“You seem like something is bothering you. Is everything ok?” The dogs never left Ruby’s side. She named the male, Phantom and the female Luna.

**Viktor** I have spent the past few days researching the oldest prophecies. Perhaps they will hold more pieces of the ancient prophecy. There were once rumors that the ancient prophecy was broken up in to chapters. This has been some puzzle and so far I am not solving it. Today I have to make my way to the safe house. Dez has a keen eye, he may be able to piece this puzzle together. An apartment complex would make a vulnerable safe house, but in fact can be quite clever if one has the connections to fortify it. I have secretly kept friendly with some warlocks. Their magic is old but strong. The complex is modern and high tech as well. It’s a beautiful day, the sun is shining and the warmth from the sum warms my chilled skin. Summer is my favorite season, keeps me energized. I knocked on the door of apartment 6. Dogs barking, Ruby must have dogs. Dez has been quite secretive about her, this of course has my interest peaked. I wouldn’t be surprised by a shift in his loyalty, after a

“As I was saying, the second prophecy is just as vague. It tells of a beautiful young woman who was alone in the world, searching for her purpose. She didn’t know that a great evil was after her. This evil was not of our world but knew of our existance. They were determined to gain control of our world as well as the mortal one. Fire took everything from her, her fear would be her downfall unless....” Viktor stopped “Unless what?” Ruby asked, her face pale. “That is all that was left. It was too deteriorated to translate.” Viktor continued. “The third says, a woman will be the downfall of our world. A prisoner, trained to hate all immortals including herself. This woman is key to our existance. If she is captured our world is doomed, our world will cease to exist.” Silence. “How are these prophecies connected?
