Before I get started, I just want to apologize for not updating in 4 months! I'm horrible. I know. I'm so sorry! But my laptop crashed and it's still not working. I was also away for most of the summer. Anyways, I'm sacrificing my patience for you guys by typing and uploading this on the main computer which is the slowest thing on earth. It's practically prehistoric. But I wanted to put this up really badly! I've re-written this so many times and I just couldn't get it right so hopefully, I did this time. I'm still not sure if I like it but we'll see! Hopefully you guys like it! Now, onto the story!

Ash interrupted my thoughts with,

"Wanna watch T.V or something? I'm feeling somewhat lazy today and I don't really want to do anything that involves physical exertion today."

Mary-Lynette smiled, "Ok, but don't you have to hunt at some point?"

"Later." He replied, opening the cabinet that held all of the Redfern sisters' DVD's. He frowned at the shelf full of romantic comedies and moved down to the shelf that had all of their favorite T.V series. He picked one up and walked back over to the couch holding it up.

"Supernatural?" she asked.

"They're holding weapons on the front and it's the only thing that looks even remotely decent in that cabinet of horrors." He said, pointing to the DVD cabinet and shuddering. "Why? Do you want to watch something else?"

"No, it's fine. I love that show."

"Good. Looks like today will be a Supernatural marathon! We have season 2 and 3 as well." He said winking at her.

It was around 11:00pm when there was a soft knock on the front door. Mary-Lynette paused the episode they had been watching and Ash got up to go answer the door. Mary-Lynette could hear voices and then footsteps as Ash led a couple that she had never seen before into the living room. It was a boy and girl who looked to be around her and Ash's age, although, she thought, if they were vampires, she was probably wrong. They could be a lot older than 18. The girl was stunning. She had long black hair that reached to the middle of her back and curled slightly. She had pale skin and dark brown eyes. Everything about her was perfect. She was wearing dark wash skinny jeans, a plain black v-neck t-shirt, a black leather jacket and black knee-high stiletto boots. Yet even with the 4-inch heels, she was still a good 6 inches shorter than her partner. He was tall with an athletic build, lean with a lot of muscle visible beneath his black long sleeve shirt. The two of them matched-clothes wise-minus the leather jacket and boots. He was classically handsome with tousled blond hair and emerald colored eyes. They looked like actors that should be in a spy movie.

Mary-Lynette looked at Ash with what she knew was a question in her eyes. He smiled at her.

"Mare, this is my cousin Blaise," he said, gesturing towards the girl, "And her soulmate Phil." Phil smiled at her warmly and stuck out his hand for her to shake. She knew automatically that he wasn't a vampire. Mary-Lynette shook his hand and smiled back at him. Then she turned to the girl, Blaise, and smiled shyly at her, receiving a sweet smile in return.

"It's so great to finally meet you!" Phil said, "Ash talked about you all the time! My visits to headquarters were limited but even I knew practically your whole life story!" Mary-Lynette laughed and Blaise nodded.

"Ugh, you have no idea how annoying he was! Even Thierry and Hannah were getting sick of his sulking! I'm glad you two worked it out though. Being around your boyfriend here might become slightly more bearable."

Ash pulled Mary-Lynette into his side, "Doubtful." He replied, grinning mischievously. Blaise rolled her eyes and Phil chuckled. Ash turned back to Mary-Lynette,

"Phil and Blaise are going to be staying here for awhile to work on some of the Circle Daybreak stuff with me; they'll also be starting school with us next week!"

"Fine, but nobody else!" she said firmly. "People will start to get suspicious! We hardly ever get new kids!" Ash nodded.

"We also have a load of Ash's crap that he left behind." Blaise said, staring at her cousin pointedly. "Oh and where are your sisters? I haven't seen them since Grandma took Thea and me to the island which was like forever ago!"

"Yeah, I remember. Jade is out with Mark somewhere and Rowan and Kestrel are out hunting. They should all be back soon though." Ash stated.

x-x-x-x

Jade and Mark were the first ones back. Jade squealed and practically knocked Blaise over as soon as she saw her. Mark just stood in the doorway looking confused.

"Mark, this is our cousin Blaise and her soulmate, Phil." Ash explained.

"Witches." Jade clarified. Mark nodded and shook hands with Phil. Jade and Blaise were catching up, Phil and Mark were talking about football and Ash and Mary-Lynette were in the kitchen making sandwiches when Rowan and Kestrel got back. By that time it was almost midnight, Mary-Lynette noted as she glanced at the clock. Kestrel and Rowan hugged their cousin and politely greeted Phil. By the time everybody finally sat down in the living room, it was 12:30am.

"So where's Thea? You two used to be inseparable. Like Maya and Hellewise!" Rowan laughed.

"Well, everybody believes that Thea drank from the cup of Lithe to be with her soulmate, Eric. So she can't be seen near any Nightworlders, otherwise people would be suspicious." She explained, "The only ones who know that I switched it are Aradia and all of the people at headquarters. Even Grandma didn't know." She added with a sigh.

Kestrel gasped, "We heard! I can't believe a shapeshifter would attack her like that! She's the Crone! She was one of the most important people in Circle Twilight! And I thought that the shapeshifters were on our side after we united with the House of Drache."

"Most of them are." Blaise nodded. "But there are still many of them who work for Circle Midnight. They believe that after summoning a dragon, their side has more power."

"They summoned a dragon?" Jade squealed. Blaise nodded solemnly.

"I thought they were smart enough not to even think of looking for the spell to summon a dragon. Don't they know how dangerous dragons are? They were put to sleep for a reason!" Rowan said, worriedly.

"Great. Just fan freakin' tastic! How are we supposed to compete with a dragon?" Kestrel said as she began pacing behind the couch.

"Well, Iliana, one of the Wild Powers and Raksha Keller killed it, and we haven't had any reports of others, but now that they know how to summon one, you can bet that they're going to summon others. And who knows which ones it'll be."

Mary-Lynette made a note to herself to ask Ash about all of this later.

"What about the Wild Powers?" Rowan asked them.

"Well, we've found three." Phil began. " 'One from the land of kings long forgotten' is Delos Redfern, Prince of the Dark Kingdom. 'One from the hearth which still holds a spark' is Iliana Harman, the Witch Child. 'One from the day world where two eyes are watching' is Jezebel Redfern, who's actually a hybrid. Half human, half vampire. And the last prophecy, 'One from the twilight to be one with the dark'. Blaise and I were talking about it on the way here. Thierry thinks it might be a Circle Twilight witch who might be changed sometime soon, seeing as darkness usually means vampires." he explained. "It would make everybody's job a lot easier if he or she is a Twilight witch because then it wouldn't take too much convincing to join our side. We're guessing that they don't know about the Night World though because otherwise they would have come forward. So now it's the race to find the final Wild Power because 'Four less one and darkness triumphs'. The only thing we have to go on is 'Born in the year of the blind Maiden's vision' which means that they're 17. So we're looking for a teenager that could be absolutely anywhere, before Circle Midnight finds them first." He finished.

"Luckily though, we have a head start. Now that Hunter and Lily Redfern are gone, they have no one to lead them. The other side is in complete chaos." Blaise said.

Everybody was quiet as the gravity of the whole situation sunk in.

"That's why you're here then?" Mark asked, "To look for the last Wild Power."

Phil and Blaise nodded. Ash yawned loudly, standing up and stretching.

"Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm tired, so I'm going to bed" he announced as Mary-Lynette stood up to follow him.

"Night everybody." She said, waving before following her soulmate upstairs to their room. She went into the bathroom, put on a pair of pajama pants and a tank top, brushed her teeth and went back out to find Ash waiting for her on the bed wearing only a pair of sweatpants. She smiled at him as she crawled underneath the covers and curled up into his side, his arm around her. He kissed her lightly on the forehead and whispered,

"I love you Mare."

She smiled again, her eyes closed and thought back,

"I love you too."

Before they both fell into a deep slumber.
