Chapter 1

Alex walked forward towards the three tombstones lined side by side. She smoothed out her black dress and looked down at her matching black heels. Tears threatened to fall. Wiping them with the back of her hand she looked up at the pictures on the stones. She bit her lips as she knelt down and touched each one lovingly.

"Mom, dad…. Max…. I'm sorry." She choked as the tears fell. Behind her Justin stood in attention. He had his arms clasped behind his back and his feet wide apart. His eyes covered by dark sunglasses. He looked down at Alex who sobbed as she touched their pictures. Her sobs grew louder and louder. Unable to control himself, he dropped down to her level and hugged her close to him. She grabbed onto his black shirt and tugged as she cried with no shame. Soon she started to fist his chest over and over again.

"Why! Why!" she screamed at him. He wrapped both arms around her and closed his eyes. Justin placed his head on hers and listened to her sobs. He, himself, refused to cry in front of his wife and sister. He done the crying last night as he showered and that was it. No more tears will leave his eyes. He will be strong for Alex who was the most loved by their parents. She always got away with everything and they cherished her and showered her with the most love. It was bound to hurt her more than it hurt him but he admits the pain is unbearable. Her sobs soon dried into sniffles as she smoothed out his shirt and laughed at the wet spot that has formed. She tried to dry it with a handkerchief but it was proving futile. Alex mumbled a sorry and Justin just chuckled and kissed her nose.

"It's ok." He whispered lovingly. Reaching into his pocket he took out a tissue and wiped her tears carefully. She had worn no makeup today. Alex didn't want to show their parents a fictitious face; she wanted them to see who she really is. He still loved her either way. She was beautiful either way. "Cry as long as you want. I'll always be here, Alex." He kissed her nose once more before turning to the tombstones.

"Mom, dad, Max, rest in peace. I'll take care of her forever. I won't let him get her, even if I am to sacrifice myself."

"JUSTIN!" Alex shouted and gripped his shirt tightly. Her eyes showed fear as she looked at him. Tears threatened to fall again. He turned to her with a small smile. Running a hand through her hair he marveled at its silkiness.

"It's true, Alex. I won't let anything happen to you. I'll gladly give up my life for you." He spoke with such happiness it made her heart clench.

"No! I won't let you do that! If you want to sacrifice yourself for me than I'll sacrifice myself for you! I won't let you die!" She shouted as her grip tightened. He could feel his shirt about to give up to her grip and tear. He placed his hands on her hands.

"Alex, shhhh, its ok, he won't get us." He tried a different approach. He had wanted to calm her down but his words had just agitated her further. Her screams subsided. Her fists loosened and she turned away.

"How do you know that? He might be watching us now. He might be planning! He might be getting ready!" her voice grew frightened as she looked around the empty cemetery. They had not wanted to invite anyone for their family's burial day. It would have caused a ruckus and alerted the main problem. Someone out there was going around killing wizards. They don't know who and why this person is doing it. Or how he figured out who was a wizard and who was not. Even though Alex and Justin gave up their powers they were still wizards. The blood still runs thick in them. And the killer made sure that anyone with wizard blood in them died. Their family was the latest victims. They were spared because they didn't live with them. They lived several subway stations down. But the killer is bound to know they're still out there. He'll come after them soon.

"Alex and Justin Russo?" a voice called from behind. The two turned to see who called them but was blinded by a piercing light. Their eyes began to feel tired as they tried to shield them from the light. Fear rose in them as they realized it was time. He had found them. This was it. This moment is their last moment together. Alex felt around the grass and air for Justin. Her fingers brushed against his face. His own hands joined her as he brought them to his lips and kissed her hand. He pulled him towards her and hugged her tightly. She leaned into his touch as they closed their eyes giving in to the sudden feeling of sleep.

Good-bye my love….

-JALEX-

"Don't you think you went overboard?"

"Did I?"

"I think so. You were ordered to bring them in safely. That device wasn't even properly tested."

"Whoops."

"Mah, I'm sure there's nothing wrong with them. Look, she's moving her eyebrows; it's time to wake up." Footsteps approached steadily as Alex tried her best to open her eyes. It cracked open slightly but she winced as the light burned. She buried her head into the pillow below her. The same voice spoke; it was a high pitched female voice. The female laughed and she felt the bed creak.

"Don't worry, your eyes are ok. They were just a bit… ummm… What's the word?" the female spoke with a bit of spunk in her voice. A set of shoes began walking across the room and came closer.

"Sensitive," another female voice next to Alex spoke up. It rang familiar to her senses. She rolled her head against the pillow and tired to open her eyes again. A hand covered her eyes and she felt the bed dip as someone sat down next to her, probably the person next to her.

"Right, sensitive was the word I was looking for." The female giggled but fell silent. Alex felt the hand released her eyes and smoothed out her hair in a motherly way. A chair scraped against the floor as the female sat down with a perky sigh. The hand continued to move along her hair. She sought out its comfort and relaxed. It was familiar and the way she would relax and know she was protected. The person didn't speak; she relished in the silence and refused to make a sound. Alex wanted to hear that voice again. She was curious as to who it belonged to. The room fell silent as Alex rested her eyes. The perky girl shuffled around a bit but remained quiet. The soothing hand was gone but not the extra weight on the bed. The person who was so familiar with her was still close to her. Alex turned onto her back and smiled in the direction she thought the woman was.

"Who are you guys?" She asked. The woman didn't respond but she felt her stiffen. The perky girl shouted her name instantly.

"I'm Kim!" She shouted with all her might. Alex winced at the loud noise. The woman beside her turned towards Kim and hushed her. She pouted and whined but silenced. Alex wasn't taking her silence well. She was determined to find out who this woman was.

"What about you? What's your name?" She asked. The woman remained silent and shifted before getting up.

"Your brother should be awake. I'll go get him." Her footsteps were solid and spelled a sound of power as she walked. It too rang familiar to Alex's ears. She sat up with a small struggle and tried to pry her eyes open. The light assaulted her harshly. Quick on instinct she plunged against her pillow and buried deep in its darkness. The door opened and clicked shut. She felt hurt at being rejected her right to know the person's name but it made her all the more curious. She heard some shuffling next door than Justin's screaming. He seemed to be accusing the woman of something. Instantly Alex bolted out of bed and was across the room within seconds. She felt along the walls and pried the door opened only to lean against the wall as she rushed over. Kim followed her out hysterical about her leaving the bed while she was temporarily blind. She ignored her as she touched the door to Justin's room and pried that open too.

"Justin!" She shouted instantly. The woman turned around and stared at her.

"What are you doing here? You should be resting. Your eyes have been damaged." She asked in a displeased tone. Alex ignored her.

"Justin, what's wrong!" She asked as she walked into the center of the room and felt the furniture.

"Alex!" Justin shouted and he too felt along the furniture. The two touched hands and immediately clung onto each other. Relief washed over them now that they knew the other was safe and in one piece. They heard the woman sigh before sitting down on the couch.

"Kim, go get them something to drink and eat. They should be quite famished by now." She ordered. Kim zipped out of the room enthusiastically. Alex and Justin turned towards her voice. They both felt it. It was familiar and held a soothing ring to it… as if they knew her. They heard fumbling around and a cabinet being opened and closed.

"Your eyes are really sensitive right now. Kim's prototype hasn't been tested properly. She's a bit slow when it comes to safety. Wear these for now. I can't have you two walking around blind." She handed them a pair of sunglasses. They placed them on and slowly opened their eyes. Things were fuzzy for a bit. The woman's figure stood in front of them but all they could make out was the color white and black. Slowly as their visions adjusted Alex and Justin released their death grip on the other. They gasped as their vision on the woman cleared. Instantly Alex pounced on her.

"YUA!" She shouted with all she felt. Happiness soared through her and the stress of worrying for the woman left her at once. Yua grimaced and detached herself from Alex. Frustration was apparent on her face as she smoothed down her black T-shirt. She readjusted her weapon's belt before pushing her long white hair back. Justin noted that she looked different.

"Yua, where have you been? We were so worried… We thought… we thought… you died…" Alex whispered that part hoping this wasn't a dream. Yua grumbled and sprawled herself on the couch. Her arm went around the top of the couch and she lifted her right leg up onto the seat.

"You had no reason to worry about me, Ms. Russo." Her words were cold. Disbelief rained on the couple as her words snapped against them. The Yua they knew was compassionate and empathized with them. She was sweet yet serious. Her tone of voice was soft yet solid. This Yua was cold and distant. Emotions weren't apparent in her eyes and she had no attempt to empathize with them or rejoice their reunion. Something had changed and it had been dramatic. Alex took baby steps over to Yua who sat quite atrociously. She paid her no attention as the door opened again. A man with soft rusty auburn hair walked in. His brownish red eyes scanned the area before resting on Yua who stared at him impassively. He smiled and sauntered over to her. He leaned on the couch and placed his face in front of hers. Justin and Alex backed off a bit at the love radiating off of the man.

"Go on a date with me." He spoke bluntly. She pushed his face away and grabbed a magazine off the coffee table.

"Go on one with yourself." She spoke without a second glance or hesitation. The man pouted but didn't take offense to her comment. He merely looked their way and smiled. He bowed to them.

"Nice to meet you Ms. Russo, Mr. Russo; it's reassuring to know you two arrived safely." He walked forward and reached out a hand. "Shou Oshiro is the name." The two went bugged eyed at the man who shrunk back a bit surprised. Did he just say Shou Oshiro? They both asked mentally. Alex pointed to him then to Yua who continued to flip through the magazine like her dead brother and lover wasn't standing there alive.

"You… her… siblings… alive?" Alex failed at forming a coherent sentence. Shou quirked a curious and mischievous eyebrow. He shook his head.

"Of course not! We're not related at all. We just merely share the same surname, right Yua?" He turned to Yua who flipped another page.

"The doom of my life to share the same surname as you." She responded before dumping the magazine on the table and looked at the clock. She stood and stretched. "It's time. Follow me, Ms. Russo, Mr. Russo." She headed for the door with Shou trailing behind her. He turned and beckoned them to follow when neither made a move to follow Yua. The two led them through a serious of hallways that held no windows or decorations. It seems they're underground. Alex looked down towards the center of the area. On the very bottom there were several people focusing on several machines and computers that were plugged together using multiple wiring that ran along the walls and the floor. There were several people who walked past them as well but none of them paid them any attention. It was as if they didn't exist. Kim came bounding out of one of the turns with a tray full of food and water. Alex's stomach grumbled at the sight of food. Yua spared her a second worth of glance from the corner of her eye. Kim stopped and looked at them curiously.

"Where are you all going? I brought food!" She held up the tray.

"It's time. Bring it along." Yua walked past her and opened the last door to her right. Voices piled out as the door creaked open. Yua stepped through as well as Shou. Kim ushered the couple through and shut the door with her foot. Inside sat a couple of elderly people. They had a business face on and there were several younger looking people who wore belts similar to Yua, Shou, and Kim. They nodded to the three who nodded back. The elderly people sat at a conference table while the younger ones scattered around the room chatting with each other or standing behind the elders. Alex recognized a few of them. They were on the council that judged her and Justin. Upon their arrival the room fell into a hushed whisper. Yua walked over to the last two remaining seats and pulled them out. Shou gestured the two to sit down, they did. Kim placed the tray in front of them and ushered them to eat. They did just that.

"We're glad you two made it without harm." One of the elders spoke. Alex looked up at him. Justin placed his fork down and drank a little water before looking around.

"What are we here for?" he asked. His hand crept along Alex's. Quietly his fingers slipped through against her and held on tightly. Alex squeezed back and leaned towards him without thinking. The two gripped at the necklace on their necks. Yua appeared next to Alex. She eyed her for a while before turning to look straight ahead, her hands on her belt. Alex noticed the elders seemed to have stiffened as well as the younger ones. The air filled with tension. One of the elders leaned forward and sighed.

"I'm sure you're familiar with the recent Wizard Killer." The two nodded. "We are aware that he has reached your family…" Alex dropped her cup of water. It bounced off her lap and crashed to the floor. Shards of glass shattered across the room. Yua kicked the glass pieces behind her. She focused on the people in front of them. Justin instantly wrapped his arms around her as tears began to filter out her eyes. She took off the glasses and buried her head deep into Justin's chest. He cradled her gently and lovingly. He placed his chin on her head and shut his eyes tight forcing his own tears down. Slowly he turned to the elders.

"What does our family have to do with this?" He asked though it hurts to ask.

"You two were lucky to survive. From what we know about the Wizard Killer… he'll come back for you and the rest of us." The elder spoke. "We're not going to let him take anymore wizards from us. We have been sending out agents to collect the remaining wizards in the world and bringing them here. We're sorry if Kim used some… unnecessary was but it was for your safety that you got here without any complications." Justin narrowed his eyes at him as Alex continued to sob. She grabbed onto his shirt tightly and appeared to be trying to tear it with the massive force she was applying to her grip.

"Bringing every wizard in? What happens if the killer is among us?" Justin questioned.

"We thought of that as well. This is why we're appointing two agents to each family to watch over them, they will not only protect the family but also watch them for any ulterior motives. Your agents will be Yua and Shou Oshiro." The elder pointed to Yua and Shou. Yua tightened her hold onto her belt. Shou moved forward and smiled at the two. He saluted them but remained silent. "They will escort you back up to your house to collect your belongings then bring you somewhere else."

Justin brushed Alex's hair in deep thought. Her sobs were no longer audible. She trembled but it was just that, a tremble. Yua and Shou stood silently awaiting his answer. Hesitantly he nodded.

"Alright… I'll do as you want for now but I hope you'll understand if anything goes wrong I'll act on my own. Alex will be protected by me and if I deem you unfit to protect her then I will do as I see fit." He didn't know where he got the guts to speak to the council like he just did. Alex's safety was his top priority and it felt right to challenge the council and make it known that he won't back down if he saw their protection detail unfit. The council shifted but nodded in agreement. He kept his gaze on each of them emphasizing his seriousness. No longer was he going to play silently. He was going to challenge them for the safety of Alex if he needed to. Alex patted his chest quietly smoothing out the wrinkles she created. Softly she pulled away and placed the glassed back on. She remained silent but she too looked at them with all the courage she could muster. It was a time to be strong and brave. The two linked hands before getting up and striding from the room. No longer were they hungry. It would have to wait. Shou followed them but Yua remained. Alex turned back to her but she urged her on with a dismissive wave and the door shut in her face. Hesitating for a while she lingered by the door. Something felt wrong to her. Something was happening behind that door. She saw it in Yua's eyes.

"Alex?" Justin turned back to her with a worried glance. He trudged forward and wrapped an arm around her. "You ok, honey?" he asked in a soothing whisper. She allowed him to steer her away. Painfully she tore her gaze away from the door and smiled at Justin. Yua will be fine… she can take care of herself. I'm just overreacting to the situation.

"I'm fine, just a bit drowsy." She lied. Justin nodded in understanding.

"After we get our stuff maybe you can sleep on our way to the new location. Don't worry, we'll be fine." Justin reassured her. She smiled and snuggled against him as they walked.
