Logan ran back to The palm woods panting, his legs giving way as he reached the front door. His forehead resting against the glass door. Logan's world went black as he fell to the floor, his face landing in the dirt. A shadow watched him in the distance, their yellow eyes narrowing slowly.

Logan awoke slowly to find himself in an unknown room, a small eagle looking down at him from being perched on his stomach. He jumped slightly and the bird cocked its head, squawked and flew off out of the slightly ajar door. Logan looked at the door curiously. Where does it lead to?

Logan slowly got up and walked towards the door, planning ways to attack the person holding him hostage.

"Don't be alarmed," a calm and gentle voice said softly from the other room. Logan opened the door to see a long haired brunette girl patting the eagle on her arm. Her eyes shone a yellowish colour and her smile towards him seemed friendly enough. She wore a pair of black skinny jeans and a long grey button up top with brown knee high boots. The eagle looked at him curiously as he studied her.

"Where am I?" He asked, awkwardly looking around at the small kitchen/living room.

"Underground." She replied with a laugh, he went wide eyed.

"How far underground?"

"Far enough. We're under that hotel you passed out in front of. Can't have you return weak after your change can we?" She let out a soft laugh. Logan snapped and grabbed the knife laying on the table to his right, grabbing her throat and pulling her towards him, knife on her throat. The bird squawked viciously.

"How do you know about that?" He asked her, she tried to squirm but that only made his grip tighter.

"I'll ask you again, how do you know that?"

"If you want to know how I know that you have to let me go."

"Give me one good reason why I should."

"Kill me and you'll never have the information you desire, does that sound good enough?" Logan looked her right in the eye, then slowly loosened his grip and released her. She fell to her knees and hands and took deep breaths, finally she got up and said. "Ask away." He thought things over for a minute then continued.

"Where exactly are we?"

"Directly under the palm woods, beneath the steam tunnels than run just above your head."

"Does bitters know?"

"That fat fool?" She threw her head back and laughed hysterically. "He couldn't see a rock in front of his face. Which ironically is what now protects us."

"A rock?"

"Well technically a few enchantments and the inner sanctum where your standing right now is heavily warded nothing could get in here without my knowing or permission. Mortal…. Or demon."

"Next question how do u know who I am?"

"Ohhh good one" She giggled.

"Well let's see I have been watching you since your powers bloomed so to say…. When your parents were still well alive." Logans face went stone cold and he pointed the knife at her throat.

"You were one of the bastards that set my house on fire weren't you?" She stared at him for a moment before she said.

"No, but I was there when it happened."

"You're not helping your case you know."

"I gathered as much but you should let me finish before you make such…. Prejudice assumptions."

"Go on then but I'm watching you."

"Yes and so is Seth."

"Seth?"

"The bird." Logan turned around to see the eagle staring at him from its perch, unmoving and unblinking."

"Righto then, back on track, how and why do you know about the fire and why were you there?"

"Okay let's see I know about the fire because I was there, I was there because it caught my attention. It caught my attention because well c'mon you don't really see a huge demonic fire on third everyday now do you?"

"Then how do you know I'm a mage and that my parents were killed by demons?"

"Umm hello, I did just say 'huge DEMONIC fire' did I not? As for your parents I didn't know them well but I did see them around town a lot I could also feel the magic coming off your mother. Powerful woman that one was, shame she never unlocked her talent as you did."

"Unlock her talent?"

"Her magic fool, unfortunately it skipped her generation so she couldn't do magic, but your mother was a clever one and managed to avoid the demons for quite a while. 20 years in fact. Well 19 years, 11 months, 24 days, 16 hours, 54 minutes, 27 and half seconds if you want to be exact but I'm so not like that." All Logan could do was stare, he shook his head and continued asking.

"Okay so how did u know I was a mage?"

"Well long story short and to put it bluntly and to make things a lot easier ill just shorten this whole story so you can-"

"You're trying my patience girl."

"My names Eli."

"Very well, you're trying my patience Eli."

"Much better, now where was I? Oh yes, I knew you were a Mage because… You know I could talk a lot easier if u weren't holding a freaking knife at my throat so why don't you just calm down, lower the knife and you can get back to your little sexy boy band in no time Kay?"

"Sexy little boy ba-" Logan shook his head.

"There is no way I'm taking this knife down I'm not sure I can trust you yet."

"You don't think you can trust me after I bought you back here, pretty much saved your life, cleaned you up from the dirt and grime on your handsome face and am currently involved in answering your questions?" Logans face didn't change and the knife didn't move.

"Nice try one last question. Who are you?"

"Oh I was hoping you'd ask that cause I got a really good answer and-"

"The short version I was supposed to be back 5 minutes ago."

"Okay then I'm Eli. Just kidding well since we're outta time just tell that little guardian of yours Praesidio this: Demons fall, when Mages rise. He'll know what it means." She had a devilish grin as she spoke.

"Wait what is that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing you need to worry your pretty little head about Logie."

"How do you know my nickname?"

"Oh questions, questions, so many questions. Sadly we are out of time. Phone."

"What?"

"Your phone, Carlos will ring 3… 2…. 1…." Briiiiiiiing… Briiiiiiiing.. He stared at her stunned then took the phone out of his pocket.

"Hello?"

"Hey Logan, its Carlos."

"Uhhh yeah caller I.D remember?"

"Ugh whatever, you almost done with your perimeter search, you've been gone almost an hour."

"Wow really?"

"Yeah I just told you that."

"Okay I'll be back in like, what 2 mins?"

"Alright well make it 30 seconds there is something you need to see right now!"

"Is someone hurt did a demon find you guys?"

"No we're all fine just get back here ASAP."

"Okay I'm on my way."

"Right, see you soon."

"Okay bye." Logan clicked his phone off and put it back in his pocket.

"How did you know that he would-"

"Wow look at the time and didn't that cute Spanish guy tell you he had some urgent news etc?"

"Well yea but-"

"Look I'd love to talk but I have a casserole in the oven yea. Say goodbye Seth." The bird squawked and flapped its wings.

"But Eli I still-"

"Bye!" She grinned wildly and waved her hand. Roots shot up from the ground and enveloped Logan in a cocoon. Everything went black, he heard rocks crumbling in the darkness then it stopped. A cool breeze hit his face and he opened his eyes. He was standing where he was when he collapsed. He stood there stupefied for a moment at what just happened. Then he cleared his thoughts, and walked through the glass doors into the lobby. Sure enough there was bitters. Scowling at him from behind his desk.

"What are you doing?"

"Mr. Bitters, hi, always a pleasure seeing you here I-"

"Save it Logan you know the rules, all palm woods residents must be back inside by 11 pm I need my beauty sleep and I don't want a visit from the head honcho. Unless of course, your record company is willing to pay a particular fee."

"Right I get it last warning or Gustavo pays you his blood money."

"I never said it was a bribe."

"Neither did I." Logan smiled and walked to the elevators and left bitters there cursing under his breath. Not so subtly.
