"Mom! I'm home. Are you here?" I screamed. I walked into the kitchen and I found a note on the kitchen table:

Dear, Phaedra,

Your father, your sisters and I have gone to the hospital. Your grandmother, Althea, had a heart-attack while you were at school, and we needed to get here as soon as we could. We will be home late tonight so please do the dishes for me. Also, there is a pizza on the counter thawing out for you if you are hungry.
Don't you worry about, Grandma Althea. She will be alright.

Love Always,
Mom.

P.s. Try not to tear the house down while we are gone!

"They obviously trust me." I muttered, sarcastically to myself. I ended up taking mom up on her offer and decided to cook the thawed out pizza she had left out. While it was in the oven I went and started my English homework Mr. Behan had given us just before the bell rang for lunch. I never noticed how much homework he had given us until now, and there was a lot.
After my homework was done, and I finished my pizza, I took a little nap to calm the stress from my grandmother in the hospital, and all the stress Kaylin was giving me.
"Wake up Phaedra! Wake up!" Kaylin screeched.
"What, What? Where am I?" I screamed.
"You are at home silly. You just dozed off before I had the chance to talk to you, and I kind of welcomed myself in if that's alright with you." He explained
"Yeah, that's ok, just come walk into my house whenever you want, I won't mind." I said sarcastically.
"Well sorry…I…uhmm…can you come with me?" Kaylin asked
"Why on earth would I want to go anywhere with you?" I questioned.
"Because what I am about to show you is going to be the only thing that will keep you alive," he stated, " but you must tell no-one of what I am about to show you.
"Ok, Kaylin you must be on some crack or something because you are making no sense at all!" I said in a harsh tone.
"Everything will make sense once you come with me!" he explained, "so do as I say, and you live."
Well that defiantly sounded safe. 'Do as I say and you live'? Like what is that! What is so important that if I don't see it I die?
"Well seeing as I don't plan on dying any time soon, I guess my only option is to go with you…I guess." I gulped.
"That's the spirit! Now let's go before midnight hits." Kaylin quickly ordered.
"Why before midnight?" I asked.
"Because we need to get there before they show up." He replied.
"Are you going to tell me who they are, or are you going to pull one of those 'that's not important' things?" I questioned him.
"I'm pulling one of those 'that's not important' things." He laughed.
"I figured." I sighed. Unexpected, Kaylin swept me off of my feet and into his arms. He literally through me in the backseat of his red pickup truck and quickly began to drive.
"Are you kidnapping me?" I asked sarcastically, "Because I have seen this in a movie before, where the handsome guy kidnaps the girl and takes her away to meet her doom. And let me tell you, it did not have a happy ending!"
"Relax…No-one is going to harm you." He laughed
"Wait, what? I though you had to show me something, not someone." I said.
"Yeah well, this was the only way I was going to get you to come with me. They have been expecting you Phaedra. The prophecy demands it. Soon our world will once again be safe." He said.
"Your world? Isn't your world my world?" I said.
"Sure, sure." He replied.
"What's that suppose to mean! I demand an answer!" I screamed.
"Pathetic little human." He whispered to himself. I didn't quite hear him, but I gave up.

* * * * * * "Wake up Phaedra! We have arrived." Kaylin claimed.
I woke up in a dark room, surrounded by people with capes, and they all had red eyes like Kaylin. They weren't natives, that was for sure. That means Kaylin wasn't telling me something, and I wasn't going to sit around and be a bunch of bait for whomever and whatever these people were.
"You have done well Kaylin. I am certain that this is what the master asked for." One of the caped men said.
"I am sure this is exactly what he wanted." Kaylin corrected.
"Well we are going to have to find out some way." Another caped man said, "Kaylin get the demon. Let it sniff her, and if she isn't the right one, it will devour her."
"Don't you think that is a little bit harsh?" Kaylin said, "She hasn't done anything to deserve death!"
"But she has!" The caped man said, "She was born!"
"But, but…"
"Get the demons!" the man interrupted Kaylin.
"Fine! But I'm not watching." Kaylin demanded.
As I gazed in horror, Kaylin ripped open a huge gate, and out came a creature, so horrid that I had to look away. It looked like a dog, but it was far from one. The demons teeth were razor sharp, and where there should have been fur, was blood. It came up to me and began to sniff me. Blood got all up my shirt and I could see that Kaylin wasn't watching. The demon stared into my eyes for one quick second, than quickly ran off, back through the gate that Kaylin had opened.
"Is she still in tack?" Kaylin asked.
"The girl is fine Kaylin. Now, stop being a baby and turn around. Your one-hundred-sixteen years old, start acting like it!" The caped man said.
"Thorne! She doesn't know about us!" Kaylin screeched.
"Well she was going to find out sooner, or later, and sooner is better than later in this case." The caped man, Thorne replied.
"Ok, well you have the girl. What's next in the prophecy?" Kaylin asked.
"Well all that is left is to…"
"Honey? Wake up! We're home," said a voice in the distance, "Phaedra! Wake up!" The voice said again.
"What, what?" I asked.
"Good to see your alive!" My mom laughed, "We just got home, and Jeannette seen you shacking on the couch. You must have had one hell of a dream!"
"Wait, so that was all a dream? The demons, Kaylin, and Thorne? It was all just a dream?" I questioned.
"Yes honey, it was all a dream, and by the sounds of it a nightmare." Dad chuckled.
"OK, that's good. How is Grandma Althea feeling?" I wondered.
"Well, it was a pretty bad heart-attack, and luckily the doctor's revived her. She is on life support now." Dad replied.
"That's also good." I said.
"Well you better get up to bed now, its 1:45am now." Dad ordered.
"Wow, I slept for a while. Goodnight mom, goodnight dad!" I yelled.
"Goodnight sweetie!" They said together.
The next morning, I got up and quickly ate breakfast, eager to tell Kaylin about my dream last night.
"What's the rush?" Dad asked.
"Nothing, I just have a lot of energy this morning that's all." I answered.
"Must have been from the 13 hours of sleep you had last night." Dad said sarcastically.
"Yeah, sure, sure." I replied.
As soon as I got to school, I began my search for Kaylin.
When I finally found him, the warning bell rang to get to first period.
"Hey, Kaylin, can I talk to you at lunch?" I asked.
"Will you actually talk to me this time?" He questioned.
"Kaylin I was only being like that because you were being a jerk to me earlier! It was just pay-back Kaylin! Sorry!" I mumbled back to him.
"Kay, well I will see you at lunch I guess. Meet me by my locker." He demanded.
"Where is your locker?" I asked curiously.
"It's on the second floor. Number 2624." He replied.
"Got, it. See you than!" I said, "Promise me you won't forget!"
"I promise!" Kaylin assured me.
It felt like torture waiting for every second and every minute on the clock to pass. Something in me just had to tell Kaylin what happened that night. Like I was meant to tell him.
"Ms. Agneta! For the fourth time, what is the method called that organizes books?" asked Mr. Behan.
"The Pythagorean Theorem?" I guessed.
"No, Phaedra, wrong subject. We are in English not math." Mr. Behan ordered.
"Sorry sir. I just have a lot on my mind that's all." I admitted.

"Well start paying attention, or next time its detention!" He threatened.
"Yes, sir." I said, than began counting down the minutes left tell lunch.
At the bell, I quickly ran out of class looking for locker 2624. It wasn't that hard to find. It was actually only three locker bays away from my locker – which was number 2543 – and as I gazed out in search for Kaylin, I heard a phone going off in his locker. I pushed down on his lock, and – like most of the people at school – it wasn't actually locked. I knew I was being really rude by invading his privacy, but I kept on digging for the ringing phone anyways.
"Hello? This is a friend of Kaylin." I knew I shouldn't have, but I answered the phone anyways.
"Hi, this vis Kaylins father. May I ask vhat your name vis?" The strange man asked. He had a very deep voice, and sounded as if he had a little bit of a Romanian accent.
"Uh, yes. My name is Phaedra Agneta." I answered him slowly, "Phaedra Saffron-Rose Agneta to be exact."
"Your name vis Vaedra?" Kaylins' Father asked in a shocking tone.
"Yes, my name vis-is Phaedra." I had to correct myself quickly after copying his accent. I felt so embarrassed.
"Why, are you on my phone?" I heard a voice ask me. It was Kaylin and he didn't sound too happy either. I scrambled up an explanation, but I didn't think it would really work so I just stuck with the plain and simple, "I heard your phone ringing, and I wanted to answer it just incase it was important." I lied.
"Yeah, ok." He shot out.
"I'm sorry. Oh, but your dads on the phone so I think you might want to talk to him. I told him my name was Phaedra to just so you know." I confessed.
"YOU WHAT! Why on earth did you tell him your name?" he demanded
"Why does it matter?" I questioned.
"You're right, sorry it doesn't matter." He hesitated out. I could tell by that, that something was wrong. Kaylin began talking to his dad, "Hey dad, what did you want? –Pause- Dad don't talk about that now! Please. I can talk to you about it once I get home. –Pause- Dad you can wait tell I get home! Bye!" Kaylin hung up on his dad, "uh, he makes me so frustrated sometimes!" Kaylins' eyes beamed with red rage, and he stormed off, totally forgetting that I needed to talk to him.
"Kaylin! Wait up! Didn't you forget that I needed to talk to you?" I demanded.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Can it wait until tomorrow?" He asked sadly.
"Fine, whatever, I guess it can." I replied.
"Sorry! I just have a lot to take care of! I'm sorry!" Kaylin ran off. Well there went all of my excitement. I was just about to let it all out, until stupid Kaylin had to stupid leave! I was really pissed off about that, and Kaylin was going to get a load of it the next time I were to see him!
For now though, it was still lunch and I never noticed but I was hungrier than my dad on thanksgiving, which is pretty damn hungry!
When I walked into the cafeteria I decided to grab a seat next to the new girl in school. Her name was Sarah, and she had moved here from California. Sarah had short, dark-brown hair, with a red streak down the one side. She had dark brown eyes, and seemed to never wear the same outfit twice. She was, unique.
"Hi, Sarah, my name is Phaedra. Do you mind if I sit next to you?" I asked nicely. Sarah gave me a weird 'hell no' kind of look, but I sat down anyways. "So, how's it going?" I attempted to talk to her.
"Err…its good. I guess. Sorry if I'm being rude, but why are you talking to me?" she said smugly, "I have been told not to hang around with you."
"Oh, so now you're going to be like everybody else, and stop talking to me. Sorry if I'm being rude, but I thought you would have been better than that." I quickly got up and stomped off, madder than ever.
When class was over and school finally ended, I went up to my locker to get my supplies to go home. That's when I heard feet stomping on the ground near me. By the sounds of it, it was a person running. I turned around thinking it would be Kaylin, but what confused me most was that it was Sarah, and she was coming towards me.
"Phaedra!" I heard her scream, "Phaedra wait up! Don't leave yet. I need to talk to you!" I finally got annoyed of hearing her running, and screaming for me, so I gave up and stopped in my tracks. "Finally you stop! Look I have been thinking and you are right. I shouldn't judge you for what people have told me. Do you want to be friends?" I could tell in her voice that she was actually being serious. So, I gave her a chance, and turned around.
"Ok, I will be your friend, on one condition!" I stated.
"Which is…?" She asked impatiently.
"You don't drop me as a friend unless I actually do something worth getting mad at. Fair enough?" I questioned.

"Fair enough." She laughed.
