Prologue:
A girl with dirty blond hair sat on a high beam in a dimly lit gym. Most days, the gym was her sanctuary. It was usually the one place she could go to clear her and just be a normal teenage girl, but today it mocked her. She had fallen twice while making her opening run on the floor mats with a basic combination any child beginner gymnast could make. She wished the tears from the pain of the second fall had been the first to fill her green eyes that day. The lights of the gym were turned on which alerted her she was no longer alone like she had been since her practice ended. She didn't turn around not caring who it was.
"You left the Manor in a hurry Julie," a voice said as they approached her. The girl called Julie was not surprised when a six foot two blonde man with green eyes pulled himself on the balance beam to sit with her.
"I had practice, Wyatt," she reminded the man.
"Which is why you've been sitting here in the dark the last hour since practice ended?" Julie didn't answer. "Julie it was an easy choice for him not to come home." Julie climbed off the high beam and walked over to her bag. "Do think Chris wanted to be away from you?" Julie pulled out a key from her bag before she turned to face the Wyatt.
"We were going to announce our relationship to the family today when the two of you came home from your trip," Julie told him. "No more sneaking around trying not to get caught by anyone like you caught us. He was going to start Community College here in San Francisco and I was going to start home schooling to get my GED so I would have time to see him outside of training here at the gym for nationals coming up this year and maybe even Worlds." Julie held up the key. "He gave me a key to the apartment you guys got after we decided we wanted to stop sneaking around and really be together after his graduation party. Now you're telling me that he's giving all that up because he wants to go after a demon that escaped a vanquish and isn't coming home for at least a year or two?"
"Like I said earlier, it's a fight for the greater good," Wyatt said trying to keep his voice calm.
"Screw the greater good!" Julie yelled. "My Mother had to kill her own sister for the greater good and thirteen years later it cost her own life!"
"Aunt Billie would ashamed if she could hear her only daughter right now," Wyatt replied as he jumped off the high beam. "You're a witch from the Daniel's line with powerful abilities for helping innocents. You can't walk away your destiny just because you're mad at the world Julie Jenkins." Julie tossed him the key.
"Watch me. I'm not the one with prophecies about me." Julie grabbed her bag and walked towards the door.
"What are you going to do?" Wyatt asked her when she reached the door.
"If been offered a spot to train in a gym located in Ontario California run by a former Gymnastic Olympian," Julie answered without bothering to turn around. "I wasn't going to take it so I wouldn't be further from Chris. I'm leaving by train tomorrow night."
"Have you told Aunt Phoebe you're moving out?" Julie didn't answer but she turned her head to look at him.
"Bye Wyatt." Julie left and didn't notice the envelope in Wyatt's hand. Wyatt looked at envelope.
"She's not ready to hear what you have to say, Chris," he said to himself as he shoved the envelope in the front pocket of his jeans. "Not yet little brother. She still has to grow before she can start following the path that will lead to her destiny."
