Jason's dreams were unsteady, fumbling, confusing. A constantly changing series of black and white images of Jason's past lives that kept retreating further and further back in time, until they stop on a picture of an village in Ancient Greece, the villagers were being slaughtered, at first the dream was more like photograph frozen in time, but slowly the picture came to life and began to move; fires raged on as the women and children ran from the attacking soldiers, the men ran to their weapon to try to fight the invading army.
"S-s-slay the men and women, but take the children as s-s-s-s-slaves and s-s-s-s-soldiers," shouts the leader, although you couldn't see her face, you can tell that it's was a woman by her feminine voice as she speaks with a hissing sound. She was wearing a long dark flowing cloak. She turns to Jason's dream-self and says, "There you are young prince Camren, I have been searching for the past five years for you after escape my husks at your father's castle." Five soldiers grab hold of him.
Two soldiers dragged a woman and her three year old son before their leader. They scream to Jason's dream-self to help, little boy calls him papa, "His wife and son as you requested, Shi'da" one of the soldiers reports. Jason notices that the wife looks leery like Alicia. He struggles against the five soldiers holding him down.
The Shi'da draws her dagger with her reptilian hand and with her other hand grabs a handful of the woman's hair, "Witness hell," She says to him. Jason jumps from his dream just as they were about to kill the woman and their son; His breathing panicky and was covered in a cold sweat.
"Bad dreams," Alicia asks resting her chin on the back of the couch
"Uh...oh, yeah," he says as he sit upright and sling his legs off the couch. Turning his bare back to her.
"What is this, a phoenix?" Alicia's fingers trace the tribal fire bird tattoo on Jason's back
"Yeah, when I was nine, I was caught in a burning building, I was saved by guardian angel that lead me out of the flames, two days later this showed up on my back. Some wise man once told me that a mark like this could have only come from being touch by a supernatural being and that I have a far harder road ahead of me." He says with a laugh, "I don't know if he was wise or crazy but my life has never been the same since that day...wait a minute what were you doing down here anyway?"
"Oh...huh I...I heard you talking in your sleep, you were saying, 'Please don't kill her'."
"Oh... there is something I should tell you..."
Meanwhile as the night is in the early morning hours the monster, having now return to it human form is returning to his den, which is the school?
He walks up to the front door, his footsteps echoing through the courtyard. He kneels before the door and taps the keyhole three times, the door then opens.
He continues to walk down the empty halls, until he comes to the pool; He moves to the locker room door again he taps the lock three times but this time the door begin to glow as it creaks opens relieving stairs leading to under the school.
As he descends down into the dark earth, the walls become older. Finally he enters a large central chamber, a smallish figure sits surrounded by computer screens, "So master Rukoo, you were successful, I hope?" says the person from behind the screens with a voice that sounds like rocks grinding under the weight of a car. He peaks his head out... Oh my god he's horrifying; (I'm not going to lie to y'all he looks like someone nearly beat him to death with the ugly stick) One eye is bigger than the other, a mouth much like a bulldog.
"Yes Ivan, I found a daughter of the Shi'da, but still ten more are out there, and the oldest still eludes-"
"Yes, yes the one the Shi'da had after she killed the prince, each time she kills the prince's incarnation the Shi'da has another daughter they always look some girl from the village that the Pirmark is found in. You have told the story so many time, you would think it would get old."
Rukoo grabbed Ivan with lightning speed, "Listen here, I will kill the Shi'da and all of her daughters."
"I'm just saying if you have been at this since the greek dark ages (ca. 1200BC - 800BC) and tonight was your first kill? Some people would thought you have made more progress than that in nearly 3000 years"
"Oh did I say that I also stumbled upon the next Pirmark and his princess." Ivan's brow rises with his surprise, "They have already met, and soon they will be together again, but we must insure that the past does not repeat itself again or must we wait another 250 years."
"May I ask who is the pirmark this time."
"His face is still the same, only the name has change, He is Jason Cross, and his princess is Alicia Goodwill."
After Jason finish telling Alicia everything about him being clairvoyant and the vision he gets some times, there is a long pause of silence. Jason soon becomes worry that she would think he was crazy. So he begins to get dress.
"What are you doing?" she ask. He looks at her with a confused face. She just smiles back at him, with understanding in her violet eyes.
"You don't think I'm crazy?"
"No, I like the fact that you're different, plus that explains what happen when we first met, what did you see anyway?"
"That is best left for a later talk, because I'm not completely sure what I saw, I couldn't tell if it was from the past or future." Jason blushes
"Okay, but what about your dream," She asks.
"Maybe another time, we should get ready for school," Jason says as he turns to his duffle bag.
Alicia notices that Jason's back tattoo has changed, flames now extents from the Phoenix's wings, "Ah Jason what's wrong with your Phoenix, It grew?"
"What?!"
Back at the Shadow's HQ, which looks more like an high class guest house than the headquarters of a rogue group. Jesse, Marina, Marisol, and Hassleberry were watching the news reels. Drake, Zane, and Aster were in Zane's science lab just feet from the others; Rachel was sitting at the radio scanner listening to the police radio channels.
"So tell me again why didn't we put this monster down last night" Hassleberry ask Drake.
"Because we know nothing about the this monster, and knowledge is power." Aster says condescendingly as he reads a data-pad of the samples they took for the monster.
"I still think it was cowardly how we didn't do anything, but watch that poor guy get ripped to shreds "
"Yeah, we all can't be as hardheaded as you, Mr. Dino" Drake laughs
"There is nothing about that monster attack last night" Jesse complains
"The Police are probably don't want to get the public worked up about this, I mean who believe that there is some kind of bloodthirsty monster out there, hell I was there and I'm having trouble believing it," Drake comments while looking through a microscope.
"Yeah, about that are any closer to figuring out exactly what this thing is?" Marisol asks
"Well we know it is half-man, from the DNA that Drake and Jaden recovered well can tell it not bioengineered," Zane explained but when he look up to see that the others had question marks floating around their heads, "Too much junk, this is nothing like what anyone at the big bio-labs are cooking, See these three genes here," Zane displays the data-chart on the 60 in. mega-screen, "These are all out dated genes, they all were fazed out nearly two thousand years ago?" Zane pauses deep in thought "Drake run a DNA vector scan, If I'm right this DNA sequence comes from Ancient Greece," The computer beeps with confirmation of Zane theory
Everyone at the screen with a shocking chill going down their spines
"That can't be possible, could it," Aster asks.
Zane's cell goes off, It's a text message from Atticus
Alexis was at home sense school ended, how the test coming?
"Atticus just text me, Alexis was at home all night, so it wasn't her, and it is up Jaden to get a DNA sample,"
Jaden was standing outside Alexis' house, Atticus walked out to him
"Hey Alexis is just finishing up, is it true that the shadows ran into a monster last night?"
"Yeah, we did and we are still piecing together what exactly is it, but we'll know soon," Jaden explains. They become quiet when Alexis walk out to them
"Hey sissy, Jaden has finally came to ask for your hand in marriage," Atticus says smirking as Jaden face palms and Alexis blushes then growls at her brothers antics
"We have to get through the first date first" Jaden says while scratching the back of his head. Atticus and Alexis' eyes were wide as saucers, Atticus pinches Alexis snapping her out of it. She punches him in the arm
"Okay Jaden is here to walk you to school, there is a killer out there." Atticus in a semi-joking manner while rubbing his arm, He winks to Jaden.
Jason had to go to school out of uniform because his was ripped to shreds. Jason and Alicia were in the schools courtyard waiting together. It was still dark but the sun's rays were starting the shine over the eastern mountains that overlook the city. Jason was watching the shadows waiting for something to happen, but all that the shadows did was shift and meld together like the rainbow colors of oil floating atop water. Alicia had fallen sleep while curled up in Jason lap, Jason had also doze off; by the time his sisters had arrived in the black Lincoln town car.
His sisters scream with joy when they saw them all curled up together, effectively waking them up. Lariel and Aubrea ran to them air tackling hug them taking them to the ground giggling the whole way down, "Oh Kal! We totally approve of her?" They say at same time continuing laughing
Jason sweat drops at his sisters, "Oh gods this is going to be a long day." he says to himself
"Hey!, what's going on here?" Jason turns to see cop standing by his car's spot-light which was trained on them
"Don't worry Berry. They're with us." Jaden says as he and Alexis walk into the courtyard. Alexis had her hair up in a ponytail. Alexis and Jaden walk over to them
"Hey guys" Alexis says warmly
"oh gods you're a morning person aren't you" Jason asks
"Yep, I have to be to do what I do every morning" Alexis giggles into her hand. "You must be a morning person too to get here before we do?"
"NO I'm not usually a morning person, I just woke up early because I'm used to waking this early for basketball and my kickboxing class." Jason explains but his sisters knew what really happen.
"Why are you not in uniform?" Alexis asks
"Well one got shredded by the shadows and the other got ripped when I was defending Alicia from a bunch molesters last night I have to order another one" Jason says as his arm wrapped around Alicia's waist while she rolled her eyes
"Is this true?" Alexis asks with shock in her voice.
"Yep just prince charming, he came to my rescue" Alicia answers jokingly
"Aw Isn't that cute, one day together and they are already acting like a couple" Lariel says with starry eyes, "Alicia you must come over for dinner tonight and meet our dad. Oh you guys can come too,actually why don't we have everybody?"
"Are you sure?" Alexis asks
"Yeah I mean we have lots of room at the dinner table, our dinning table that sits 15 people and it can just friends from school. It will like the dinner parties mom used throw for us before she..." Aubrea stop herself from going on. "Sorry Kal I got carry away."
Jason put his hand on her shoulder, "It's ok Bre that sounds like a great idea, it lively up the place little more make just like home," He turn to the others, "So y'all want to come over for dinner?"
"Sure we can asks the others when they get here, uh where do you live?"
"Oh Castle Estates."
"What!" Jaden and Alexis says together
"What my car didn't give it away." Jason smiles
