Abby pensively waited like the others for the full story as to what happened between Kylie, Tyler and Gabriel. She didn't have to invade Kylie's mind because her posture and expression showed it all. Her heart is broken, Abby. That's what I looked like before I died after William married my sister, Serenity quietly echoed her worried thoughts to her. Abby placed her hand over her forehead and asked Thea telekinetically, is there any way to calm Kylie down just so I can get a re-cap of what happened to them?

Thea nodded her head silently and placed her hands to rubbed Kylie's back. Here was her cue and Abby focused on Kylie's banks of memories. Ben's terrified face in the car flashed in view and Abby shook her head knowing she had gone too far back. Taking a deep breath, she caught a glimpse of Gabriel standing over Tyler and Kylie. Yes, this was it. Abby projected it to the others minds and they watched it as Kylie's thoughts narrated what seemed like a horror film. Abby stopped when Kylie began to cradle Tyler in her arms and was swarm with Kylie's now guilty and depressing thoughts.

Abby had now the gist of the situation. Gabriel is using Tyler as another pawn to get what he wanted. Unfortunately, there was a snag in his great plan to get the book, only her original blood of her first life or blood of a council descendant would allow her into that tomb.

Abby glanced around to see everyone was left in silence on the outside. Internally, Abby took glimpse of their own thoughts which held grief, anger, pain or disbelief.

"I'm going to kill that fucking bastard!" "Poor Kylie." "Oh, God. My leg." "Keeping her calm is getting harder, the more no one suggests a plan to help Tyler." "He can't be dying." "I saw it again and I failed to stop it. Kylie must hate me." "There's got to be some other way?"

Abby assessed the room with her gaze. With the battle, the universe didn't seem to be on their side for a lot of unfortunate things had occurred. For one, Caleb broke his leg in three sections very badly and our group suffered. Mostly because of the mental injuries, like the loosing of hope and not having a plan of action.

Abby turned her head toward the couch where Tyler laid as if taking a nap. But no matter how much you shake him, Tyler wouldn't be waking up. Another setback. Abby sighed as she pondered, how do we get the book back, the book she thought didn't exist, to save Tyler? We were clueless with no Ben for guidance.

Guidance

"I think there's only one thing to do," Abby stated thus grabbing everyone's attention. Her eyes connected to Kylie, who was hoping Abby wouldn't say those words she regretted to hear. That there was nothing left to do. But to Kylie surprise Abby responded, "We need advice from the gods and goddess."

Rae's head shot up from Caleb's shoulder and said, "That's brilliant."

Serenity said disappointed, "But sometimes they're too busy for convention. Remember the last time we requested to see them."

Abby said determined, "They will have no choice but to listen."

Kylie's head picked up and asked, "Which one of us should converse?"

"I think Abby should," Thea responded. The other girls looked around at each other and agreed with this choice.

The boys watched in wonder as they sat outside in a circle on the ground. Reid asked skeptic, "So you're going to talk to these gods?"

Thea added confidently, "And goddess."

Reid smirked, "Right."

"Well it depends. Usually it's just one of them and if we're lucky more of them, may join in." Abby grabbed Kylie and Thea's hand, which the others followed and form a chain. Abby asked, "Ready?" Kylie nodded her head determined and Abby said, "I'll start it by saying my element."

"Earth," Abby's irises slowly changed into a glowing lime green color.

Rae's eyes were closed until she said the word, "Fire." Then her light ice blue eyes burned the color orange.

Kylie took a deep breath and said, "Wind." Her green iris disappeared leaving only white.

"Water," Thea had said next and quickly electric blue color over took her hazel eyes.

Serenity last said, "Heart" and beautiful brown eyes changed to an intense pink.

"Go planet!" The girls snapped out of their concentration to glance over to Pogue and Reid. Pogue apologized, "Sorry, it just reminded us of that theme song."

Abby shook her head and replied, "Every show is based on something."

She winked over to Pogue and then Rae chimed in, "Wait a minute. On the show the element fire was a guy. I was never a guy!"

Serenity giggled as she added quickly, "You did have very short red hair and walked like a man."

Abby could sense Kylie's impatience and asked, "Shall we try again."

"Yes, and no interruptions this time," Kylie said annoyed.

Again they concentrated on their circle Abby's head shot up as the light from her eyes produced a beam of light to the sky.

…

Patiently sitting on an uncomfortable bench, Abby checked around and noticed she was in her cranberry suit. The exact same one she wore for her mock trial that year. Placing her hand up on her head, her hair was also in a tight bun. This was definitely the professional look she picked for that day. Abby shook her head at how Mount Olympus would shift to a surround you were comfortable. Abby's just happened to be the court house.

Grabbing her attention, clicking of heels hit the marble floors and a woman walked up to Abby. The woman was wearing a simple brown pencil skirt, cream top and had her pearl necklace double around her neck. With every step she took, the mop of curly brown hair and her purple cat eye glasses bounced.

She informed Abby, "They are ready to see you Priestess." Abby nodded her head and followed her down the corridor that was made out of expensive marble pillars and a dome ceiling painted with intricate pictures of the gods and the goddesses. When they had reached a huge double door of oak, the woman announced, "In there."

Abby inhaled a deep breath to calm herself before entering the room. There were two ways this would play out, the gods and goddesses would be reasonable and actually listen to her or they disregard Abby and make the plans up without her input. Well either way she have to be respectful and be patient with them.

Walking into this room made her feel a little confident as they lounge in the court room. As she bowed down to show her respect, she had subconsciously scoped the room and was surprised that there were a few more people than she except.

Raising her head up, Abby tried to account whom was here. Zeus sat directly in center in the judge's chair while Poseidon sat in the witness stand on the left side. Turning her head to the right, Aphrodite and Hermes sat in the back row of the jury box. At the prosecuter's desk Artemis sat on top of it while Ares paced back and forth looking irritated, which wasn't to shocking for Abby. On the other side, the defense desk Mnemosyme and Hecate waited patiently in their seats. Finally Abby noticed Athena leaning against Poseidon's podium. She seemed to be watching Abby's every move since she entered the room.

"Gods and Goddesses, we ask for you wisdom once again," Abby said.

Hecate, the god of Psychic, responded, "We are informed on your situation, child. And there are two paths the group must divide and take."

Artemis disagreed, "It's too risky of paths to leave in their hands. It could be easily messed up without careful watch."

Zeus butted in, "That's why we will be sending two of our best to guide them on those paths, Artemis."

"If you think I'm going to change human and help them out, think again Zeus," Ares said annoyed. "We have no time to waste. There is a battle I have to finish out."

Zeus sighed, "I'm not asking one of us to step in."

Aphrodite was flirting with Hermes and Mnemosyme, who was paying attention added, "Prepare for their arrival down in the basement."

Poseidon added, "Get rid of the bugging chip under the mantel piece too." Abby's eyes widen and she thought, Bugged! Who would be able to do that?

"Katie," Athena had answered her non-verbal question.

Abby stared at Athena as other questions popped into her head. What paths? Who was coming to guide us? Why downstairs? Could we save Tyler? Would we be able to defeat Gabriel once and for all?

Athena nodded her head a little and instantly Abby was back in the circle rubbing her sore neck. Serenity asked, "So what happened?"

Abby glanced around to the wondering eyes and stood up to destroy the listen device used to spy on us. Abby ran her fingers under the mantel until it came across it. She lift it up as she said, "First off we," she sort circuit the bugging device with the electrical current and it smoked, "we get rid of Kate's bug and head downstairs."

…

Watching Abby draping the ceremony cloths over the two coffee tables, Rae sat on the couch holding her hands tightly trying to stop her feelings from gushing out. She had literally fucked it up. Big time. And now searching the future was just a headache and a waste of time. So many paths that branched out were hard to even follow.

Thea and Serenity were now lighting the ritual candles and Rae glanced down at her hands in shame again. She witness all this to happen and still with her effort to change the outcome, she failed. How she couldn't dared herself to look over at Kylie early. Heck she still couldn't. Thankfully she was given the freedom to let her eyes roam around with Kylie upstairs with Tyler. Her bloody lip from the battle pulled down at the thought.

"Don't blame yourself Rae," a soft voice whispered into her ear. She looked directly into Caleb's eyes with hurt. She damn well could blame herself. He was just another example as to her lack with this power. If she would have been paying attention Caleb wouldn't have sacrificed himself to protect her. Now, look. He has his leg broken in three areas and though they used some remedy from Ben's vacant room to heal it faster than normal rate, he was still in agonizing pain. Rae could tell by just peering into his eyes.

She dropped her eye contact and nodded her head. Rae didn't agree, but she just wanted to drop it for argumentum sake. Abby sat next to Pogue and he asked, "So everything is ready?"

Abby shook her head while scrutinizing her work. She answered, "Yes. Now we just have to wait."

Reid leaning against the wall asked annoyed, "For what-"

The candles began to flicker without the slightest hint of a draft blowing on them. Rae felt Caleb's hand on hers suddenly and she gave a reassuring squeeze. Even though, she was a bit on edge too. Suddenly a cloud of black smoke entered the room a swirled around until a gust of air blow out all the candles. Rae was about to ask if someone could reach the light switch when the candles lit up all at once.

Staring at the ceremony cloth, Rae watch it slowly rise and take on the form of someone under the blanket. Her eyes flickered over to the other side and noticed it was doing the same thing. The cloth began to rise up and down from their sudden breathing and the first person pulled the sheet partially down revealing a twenty year old man. He was very handsome with his short blonde hair, tan body and subtly strong cheek structure and chin. His eye opened wide showing these mesmerizing vivid blue eyes that Rae thought seemed very familiar. He sat up letting the sheet to drape around his waist, thus allowing his chiseled abdominals to be exposed. He glanced around the room and turned to the other ritual blanket.

Thea turned to Serenity and whispered, "He's cute." She added staring at him more, "And he looks so familiar, but I can't place it." Behind Reid shifted in an obvious insecure posture until Thea reached back for Reid's hand.

A young girl holding the sheet to her chest searched the room and spotted the boy. She must have been around twelve years old and her silky hair was a unique color of ultraviolet that flowed down to her back. Her dark blue-purple eyes shifted unsure what to do, so the boy nodded his head encouraging her to say something. She asked, "Can we have some clothes?"

Abby right away bustled upstairs to get them clothes while the boy was examining his hands as if they were gold. Rae didn't need to be Thea to know the tension of uncertainty was thick in the room. Thea stepped forward saying, "Hi. I'm Thea, Priestess of Neptune." She glanced over and pointed, "This is the members of the covenant. Pogue, Reid, Chase-"

"Okay, I got the clothes." Abby accidently cut off Thea's introduction. Turning around to give them some privacy, Pogue whispered to Caleb, "Don't they look a little young to guide us?"

Reid joined in, "Yea, the girl looks like she's seven."

"The girl has a name." She paused to say, "Celestial." She continued to add, "And I may look young, but I much older than you smart ass." Reid pivoted his head over to the Celestial in astonishment at her attitude.

Abby asked, "What do we do?"

Celestial pulled up the oversize sleeve of the t-shirt back onto her shoulder again and replied, "We have our specific instructions. Have you gotten the note yet Caleb of where we are meeting?"

Caleb glanced up and answered cautiously, "The note said to meet tomorrow in Pawtuckaway State Park."

Pogue chimed, "At one o'clock."

Abby shifted her eyes over to Pogue and questioned, "You didn't tell me about a note." Pogue shrugged his shoulders as he gave a guilty expression.

"That shall be our first move as a group," Celestial said as she tested her legs.

Abby looked over to Pogue, but he ignored her stare and asked, "Can we trust this F.H.?"

"Yes, he's one of the best."

Reid stepped forward and said sarcastically, "So that's it? We meet this F.H. character and everything is better? What about Tyler? Or how we get the bastard and send him to hel-"

"Reid!" Thea whispered as she tugged on his arm.

Reid looked over to Thea and said, "Don't you even try sedating me, Thea. Everyone is thinking of it."

"We'll get Tyler back alive if it kills me again. But before we storm off to save the day, we have to prepare and get our army ready for the war to come." Everyone stared at the boy in shock.

Rae couldn't get it the word through her throat when some else whispered what she wanted to say.

"Ben."

Rae turned her head to the door way to see Kylie staring at the boy before her eyes.

His lips curved up as he shrugged his shoulders. He said in his British accent, "They couldn't get rid of me that easily-ouff."

Kylie slammed her body into his chest and began to hug him tightly. Celestial said, "I think we should get up stairs and discuss a little more." As people filed to go upstairs Rae being the last person caught the last part of their conversation.

Kylie sputtered through her tears, "You're back to your old self. You can open the tomb and Tyler will be safe. Everything will be okay again-"

Ben's blue eyes shifted down as he said sternly, "Kylie you know as well as I do that I'm not the same person now too." Kylie face crumbled as her bottom lips signaled a sob was on the horizon. Ben placed his hands firmly around her face and rested his forehead close to hers. Not breaking eye contact he said determined, "We will save him Kylie. I promise you this."

Kylie searched in his eyes for any doubt to accomplish this task, but it seemed she found comfort in his words. Kylie nodded her head and whispered, "Okay."

Rae finally took a step up from her eaves dropping and head upstairs with the others. Funny how before, Rae couldn't see how deep their connection was when Ben was a smelly, tabby cat, but now that Ben was a man, something was definitely there she didn't see before.
