Thanks to Evilneevil I understand about the comment about how it's bad about them being too much of everything, but there is a reason for it! (All to be revealed...) I did hesitate before making her an Old Soul, but I promise a reason for everything!

NightWorld Fan, thanks again for the constant reviewing! I know how annoying it was for Alec to bring her back, but I couldn't give you the answer that easily! (Plus it's really important cause it relates to modern day Sydney and what she will do...) Nothing revealed...

Anyway, read and review!

As Sydney and Alec left Thierry's office they met a very excited Poppy. "Phil, my brother is coming! Thierry had him sent for, 'cause they could use him to get to me! Eek! I can't wait, you have to meet him he is so nice, and serious sometimes, I wonder how he and Jamie will get on..." She babbled merrily as they walked down the stairs to find Winnie sitting in the kitchen reading the newspaper.

"Anything interesting?" Asked Alec.

"Not really, just the same as usual." She replied calmly as she continued to read the paper.

The door bell rang. Poppy screamed so loudly that Alec dropped the mug he was carrying. "He's here!" Gushed Poppy before running out of the kitchen to the main hall.

"I think I'm deaf for life." Groaned Alec, to Sydney's laughter.

A young man walked in with soft blonde brown hair and green eyes. "I'm Phil." He said.

Winnie's POV.

"I'm Phil." Just those two words were enough. Her body tingled and her heart ached. She turned her head to look into his eyes; she knew they were green before she even looked at him. She knew he was her soulmate. "Hi." She breathed, staring into his confused yet delighted eyes.

"Hey." He whispered back. He was beautiful to her. Her stomach did an odd flip as she saw him gaze tenderly at her, and she was disappointed when he tore his gaze away from her to a smug Poppy.

"Thierry, we got another one!" She bellowed up the stairs with surprising force compared with her petite frame.

Thierry came downstairs, looking annoyed. "Poppy, what is it? I think I've found-" He looked up and saw Phil and Winnie. "Ah... I see. Welcome Phil, I hope you don't mind sharing with Poppy, James, Winnie, Nissa and Iliana, we are rather tight on space right now."

Phil shrugged. "As long as I'm with Winnie I'm okay." He said flashing Winnie a smile that made her insides melt.

"Sorry, Thierry what were you saying you found?" Interrupted Alec.

"I think I've found another prophecy. Well, it's three PM, I think we should scrap the schedule for the rest of the day, and call everyone in, this one is a bit of a workout."

Sydney's POV

Ten minutes everyone was cramped into the small living room, most people were sitting on the floor. Antoine was there and was getting on well with Nissa, Sydney didn't know if they were soulmates or not. The news of Phil and Winnie had spread quickly and they had endured merciless teasing from the group.

Thierry read the last prophecy quickly, eager to get started.

"The answer is in the blood,
The last to unite the five,
They must complete the four,
Or else the world will die."

"The five?" Asked Rashel.

"I don't know." Shrugged Thierry. "I've never heard of the five, just the four wildpowers which are mentioned in the third line."

"The world will die..." Said Mare slowly. "So if the Night World council win, somehow in their ten thousand years of reign, they will destroy the world?"

"Speaking of the council, how is our dear friend Nathan doing?" Asked Keller bleakly.

"We haven't heard directly about him, just rumours that he is going around recruiting." Spoke Hannah softly.

"He better hurry up, what is there, only a month until the end of the world?" Joked Ash dryly.

"What about the blood bit?" Asked James.

"Something to do with their lineage?" Guessed Thea.

"Probably." Spoke Thierry. "Unless it is a reference to the need for blood to be spilled in order to call blue fire."

"Could we summarise?" Asked Phillip. "I haven't been here long; I'm not up to date on the prophecies."

"Good idea." Nodded Thierry. "There are four wildpowers. They need to draw blood from themselves to call blue fire, and only blue fire can defeat the darkness, and in blood the final price is paid. They are all seventeen. One less than four and darkness wins. One is from the land of kings, that's Delos. One from the hearth, that's Iliana and one from the day world with two eyes watching that's Jez. The last one is from the twilight to be one with the dark. The last person is in plain sight and has the greatest cost, that person will also unite the five, join the four and the answer is in the blood. If we lose the world dies."

"Sounds complicated." Grumbled Ash.

"It is."

Sydney lay next to Alec in their bed that night. She was sharing with Alec tonight as Ash had bribed Mare with a new telescope for her to share the bed with him and not Sydney.

Sydney rested her head on Alec's chest and sent out a gentle thought to him. "You awake?"

"Yeah." Came his swift reply.

"Are you scared?" She asked carefully.

"What about?"

"The apocalypse."

"Yes." Came his honest reply.

"We have each other though." She thought quietly.

He kissed the top of her head. "And always will."

Sydney woke up to what seemed like 50 people around her bed singing happy birthday loudly, much of it out of tune. Alec stood in the centre carrying a cake and smiling sheepishly. Once the group finished off, and after three hip hip hoorays, Alec came over and put the cake on the table by her bed and gave her a quick kiss. "Sorry." He murmured. "I woke up and for some reason I just knew it was your seventeenth. Happy birthday." She smiled to show he was forgiven.

The room was crowded to the point that Ash, Mare, Poppy and James had to stand on Ash and Mare's bed and Thierry and Hannah had to stick their heads around the door. Most of the guys left after yelling "happy birthday!" over their shoulders while the girls rushed forward to embrace her.

Bundles of gifts were thrown onto her bed. "You guys!" She exclaimed. "You couldn't have had more than an hour to get these!"

"And it's rush hour." Reminded Rashel with a smile.

She opened them, laughing at Ash's gift which was a stone with the engraving 'I hate sharing a bed with your soulmate' on.

She finally got to Alec's gift, he passed her a small box with a nervous smile, she opened it and gasped. Inside was the most delicate gold chain and on it a ruby the size of a fifty pence coin in the shape on a heart with the engraving 'my heart' on it. She looked up at Alec who shrugged slightly, smiling. "You already have my heart; you may as well have a reminder of how it's yours."

She smiled and kissed him.

"Thank you."
