Chapter 9: Change the Future

When everything had returned to normal after Faith's time stop, Alex looked around for her again and found her sitting in her table reading her familair deck of tarot cards, he couldn't believe his eyes when Faith saw him and winked at him, however he didn't notice her for very long because at that moment Ahsoka touched him from behind and he jumped.

"Don't do that!" Alex said calming himself down "you scared the hell out of me" at this Ahsoka laughed and smiled, he liked her smile and never wanted to see Ahsoka leave, however this made him think about the tragic day in which they lost Darlene, it had been entirely his fault. He couldn't do anything about it. And yet the future that was destined to happen, happened.

"I'm sorry for scaring you" she laughed "but the feast is over" when she said this Alex couldn't help but look over his shoulder, and found that many of the Togruta had gotten up and left their seats, including Ahsoka's father, the only people that were in the feats area Alex noted were himself, Ahsoka and Faith, and that was creepy, how much time had passed when Alex and Faith were speaking to each other "what the hell were you doing?"

"Talking to her" Alex said looking back at Faith who was pretending to ignore them "she's mysterious" at this Alex laughed and couldn't help it and probably figured Faith was listening on their conversation, which for some weird reason he didn't seem to mind, Alex felt like he knew her enough to trust her, even though she claimed that she had made the prophecy in which Darlene's life was taken.

"Who is she?" Ahsoka asked to which Alex honestly didn't have any answers to "she seems exactly like your type" at this Alex stared at his girlfriend "if she's that important, maybe we could use her"

"No" Alex said to which Ahsoka let go of his hand.

"She seems to know an awful lot about you" Ahsoka said "I thought that's what you wanted" she looked at Faith and then back at Alex "to find answers?"

"She does give answers" Alex said simply "she created the prophecy which got Darlene killed"

"it seems like you trust her though"

"For some reason" Alex said and he took out the white card that Constantine gave him out of his pocket "it seems like I do," Ahsoka noticed the card and asked

"What's that?" At this Alex smiled and said simply

"Back up"

"What the hell's that supposed to mean?" Ahsoka asked and then she corrected herself "never mind, come on it's late and we must be getting back" she took hold of her boyfriend's hand and they walked off, leaving Faith alone to read her cards in peace, when they left she smiled and said

"Don't suppose they trust me enough" she looked up and found herself facing John Constantine and she smiled when she saw him, John simply looked away and said

"You do kind of have that impression"

"What impression?" Faith said and she put her deck of cards down, something she so rarely did "I see the future, I make it happen, it kind of is my job"

"We get it" Constantine said impatiently "I just don't know what the hell it is you're planning" at this Faith smiled and said

"Correction, you're thinking I'm not really on their side, yes I made the prophecy"

"There you are again going on about that bloody prophecy"

"I told Alex I made it during a bet, I lied"

"What do you mean?"

"I made the prophecy because it's going to help change something"

"Change what?" At this Faith smiled and said which didn't sound good at all but from her own perspective it did.

"I'm gonna change the future" She stood up and said "too many bad things have happened, so much suffering so much death, I believe the Avatar can stop all that"

"You really put your faith in one man?"

"Interesting choice of words" Faith chucked "considering I was named for the term" she then looked at her deck and smiled "go on help them, and if you could possibly, help me gain their trust"

"Why?"

"Because if the prophecy I made was the most dangerous thing in the universe" said Faith "then the things that's gonna come after is even more dangerous, because someone is returning"

"Who?"

Faith folded her arms and said vaguely "all you need to know is that your gonna be very important in the future, so pleas if you can, stay by the Avatar's side, keep him alive as long as you possibly can"

"Who is returning?" John asked getting more impatient with Faith and her unusual riddles "I'm getting very tired of your riddles"

"I made that prophecy for a reason" Faith said simply and John understood "all my prophecies have meaning, so do my visions, now trust me when I say, what's coming will be far more dangerous than a brother gone bad"

"OK" Constantine gave up and Faith sat back down and reshuffled her cards "what do you want me to do?"

"Exactly as I said" Faith said smiling "they'll probably be asleep by now, so why don't you go off an epic adventure and help them" at this Constantine couldn't argue anymore with Faiath, he never won in any of these, so he did as he suggested, because Faith wouldn't give him the answers he needed...
