So...Mara's unconscious, Joy could possibly be back from the dead, and Nina and her baby could potentially be more powerful than those they worship. Who said things were going to be easy?

FABIAN'S POV:

'So...you saw Joy, Joy who died, Joy whose dead body we saw in front of us three years ago...and she said that our baby's going to be more powerful than those we worship?' I asked repeating everything my psychotic soon to be wife just told me.

'Yes, and I know it sounds crazy, but it's true. I wouldn't make something like this up- why would I? And after everything we have been through doesn't it seem slightly possible.' She said and I nodded my head, even as it sounded crazy, Nina was a terrible liar.

'So...if you have the same powers as the baby, you don't have any powers- well of what I know of.'

'Maybe I get them when the babies born.' Nina assumed, with a shrug of her shoulders.

We both decided to leave it at that but I was slightly concerned about Joy becoming- whatever she is, she should have moved on, but who was to blame?

Nina suddenly yawned, bringing me out of whatever thought I had been in.

'Maybe you should get some sleep, both for you and the baby.' I suggested and shortly after she had drifted off into sleep, leaning her head into my lap.

I got out my laptop for some research on firstly the encounter of Joy and secondly these powers everyone but me in our newly developed family are going to get, but had no idea where to start.

I typed in powers, chosen one, apparitions, the dead but the amount of information I got was zilch.

I looked over to my sleeping fiancée', she look so peaceful, so beautiful and all I wanted to do in that moment was pop in her dream, and find out what exactly she was dreaming about.

NINA'S POV:

-Nina's dream-

'Hello Chosen One, and the Little Chosen One, shall I say.' I heard a patronizing voice say from behind me, and even before he talked or I caught glance I knew instantly it was Rufus Zeno.

'What do you want?' I asked harshly clutching my stomach in protection.

'I was just wondering if you might know where Mara is.' He asked and my dream faded away as I rushed to find Mara.

-End Nina's dream-

'Mara! Mara!' I screamed as I ran through the house, everyone was soon awake looking at me with concern. 'Mick, where is Mara?' I asked him.

'I don't know.' He admitted truthfully. You could tell that he was trying to hide back tears at the thought of Mara missing.

'Rufus was in my dream again, and he has Mara.' I told everyone and gasps were exclaimed from almost everyone in the room. 'We can no longer ignore this, and this time I think Fabian's right- it is time to give up and hand over the elixir.' I continued staring at a surely shocked Fabian. 'This has gone too far, we can't let him hurt anyone- we don't want a repeat of Joy.' As I said Joy everyone flinched in dismay of the memory.

'We can't give up; Mara wouldn't want that- like you said before he is just trying to scare us right?' Surprisingly this came from Mick's mouth as silence spread around the room.

'We've got other options- how about we make a deal with Rufus; I don't know try and bargain with him.' Jerome suggested but people were still uncertain.

'May I recommend an idea?' More exclaimed gasps spread around the room as Joy's 'ghost' form appeared in front of us. 'I'm the apparition of Joy Mercer's soul, and this time Rufus won't return.' Joy's voice was strong, independent but it wasn't Joy's, or what Joy's used to be and that stung. The thought of Joy gone near to completely just as an hour ago there was hope she was back. Joy seemed to take the silence as an opportunity to continue. 'Ignore Rufus, and rescue Mara secretly. Then once she's back you've made it clear to him that your stronger then he first thought, and use that as an advantage to fight back. Also I know where she's being kept. Being a ghost has its perks' The idea did seem reasonable enough, and the fact Rufus won't be expecting it is a bonus.

'I say let's do it, what better options do we have?' I said and everyone nodded their head slightly in agreement but they were still stunned by the whole Joy has returned thing, except for Fabian and I who knew already. Though Fabian was stunned still by the fact she was right in front of him. Ex-girlfriend back from the dead, who could blame him.

After that Joy vividly disappeared once again and Mick was just heads on about finding Mara before anything bad could possibly happen. Only there was a very wide chance that something could, knowing our luck.

'Nina needs to stay here!' Fabian said and I just stared at him rather bitterly.

'And why do I need to that?' I asked.

'You don't want to endanger the baby, and if he finds us...you'd be the big target.' I nodded, he was being reasonable. I would be the target, and if I was the target then the baby was a target.

'But I can't stay on my own, in case he comes here.' Everyone turned to look at me in concern until Fabian offered to stay as he had the most right to. As the father and fiancée.

Joy suddenly returned before us.

'Rufus isn't there, which means he must be around here. We have to be sneaky getting out.'

'Where is Mara being held?' Alfie asked her as he looked her up in down, still surprised she was there.

'In the warehouse down the street.' Joy replied, we all knew the warehouse. Whenever we drove passed it, it always gave us shivers from the creepiness. Poor Mara!

'Then let's go!'
