Jack splashed her face with cold water, waking herself from the disturbing sleep. More dreams of blood and horror. She wasn't surprised or scared by it now; it happened so often it had become a ritual. Somedays, she was so angry, she didn't mind; she wanted the hatred in her brain. She wanted to see everyone die. She wanted the whole world burned up in chaos… that was somedays… most of the days.

She looked up in the mirror, her otherwise vibrant green eyes, pale and drained. Her face was almost as white as a cloud; the dreams were getting to her. She closed her eyes for a second, looked in the mirror again. Madrox was behind her, waiting. " You came."

" I always do."

She moved past him, slowly sauntering. Jack just needed to slow down sometimes. Jack just needed to make sense of the dreams sometimes. Of her lack of reliaty. " The time is coming up again… two months until I go."

" We both know; Jaxxsin is starting to prepare for your arrival… something special seems to be going on."

Jack rubbed the back of her neck, and sat down on her couch. She looked towards the old television, one of the few old luxuries she could afford. She barely scraped enough money to live now. But soon, it would get better… It had too, it couldn't get much worse. " What do you think he's planning?"

Jamie shrugged. " He will not tell me, or Monoxide. Though, Monoxide has a way with words and he is looking into it now."

Jack looked out the bay window. Rain still poured. It never seemed to stop raining when she was in a bad mood. The rain calmed her most of the time, to wake up to the sound of it hitting her windows. It was reassuring. Outside was gloomy… much like the under world most of the time. Lightning illuminated the sky, then thunder crashed, frightening her for a second. " It's pretty outside tonight. Quite ominous…"

Jamie nodded and watched with her as the rain pounded harder against the glass.

Jack felt the coldness surround her and the darkness try to consume her once more, but she scrambled away from the couch, landing on the couch and scooting away from it. A demon appeared before both of them. " Who the hell are you?"

The demon didn't answer, stared for a moment, then pulled out a message. He placed it before Jack, then disappeared from view.

Jack looked at the piece of paper before her feet. She didn't know if she even wanted to look at it. Tentatively, Jack touched the paper, afraid it would burn, but she picked it up and brought it close to her face. It said:

My dearest Jacqueline,

You always seem to have such a lovely time down here when we are together, do we not? We have been preparing for your arrival. When you arrive, you will be treated like a queen, and you will be my queen Jacqueline. I've owned part of your soul for six years, I want to have you as mine. You will agree, or the punishment will be worse than any death that a mortal could give you.

- Jaxxsin

Jack dropped the paper and looked up at Jamie. " Jamie… can he do that?" She cried.

" He owns you for those three months, he can do what he pleases… but he can not keep you down there. His agreement is not for that. Any thing done in the underworld will not transfer to here." Jamie explained. " Do not worry about this… it is of no importance."

" He wants me to become some queen of destruction. It…" She rubbed her face. What was going on? Six years and he had finally decided to make her queen of his land? " What is he thinking?"

" It is not for us to know."

Jack covered her mouth and stared down at the ground. She had no idea what was going to happen… Jack looked up towards the window as the lightning flashed once more. Even in her darkest times, she wished for Riddick.
