Ray and Jasmine were back in the hotel room, sitting at a table. Jasmine
didn't know what to say about everything that happened. She wanted to do or
say something that might help Ray but nothing came to mind. After awhile
she got sick of it being so quiet and just had to say something.
Jasmine: Do you really believe what he said about The Prophecy?
Ray didn't answer. He just kept looking down at the tabletop.
Jasmine: Ray?
Ray: I don't know.
The phone rang as he answered her question. Ray got up to answer the phone.
Ray: Hello. Oh yes, she's right here. Ok, hold on. (He turned to Jasmine) It's your parents.
Jasmine: Oh thanks.
Ray sat back down at the table as Jasmine picked up the phone and started talking to her parents. He got to thinking about his parents. Before he knew it Jasmine hung up the phone and sat down across from him.
Jasmine: I know how to get your mind off of this Prophecy stuff, Ray. How come your parents never call up and ask about you?
Ray: That's because they're dead.
Jasmine: Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know.
Ray: It was 5 years ago when I was 11. They were driving home from my brother's basketball game. He was 16 then, in a few more weeks he would've gotten his driver's license and we could go anywhere. I was home because I wanted to catch up with my schoolwork since I was out that week with Chicken Pox. They were driving home when suddenly they drove off road and tumbled down a mountainside. The report said that they were tired and my dad accidentally fell asleep at the wheel. By the time he noticed what was going on, it was too late. They found my mother and my father's body but said they couldn't find my brother because he didn't have his seatbelt on and he'd have been instantly killed.
Jasmine was speechless again. She couldn't believe that this had happened and she never knew.
Ray: I live with my uncle and aunt. They're nice but are always out on business trips so I never really get to see them. The only time they stop in is around the holidays so I live in the house alone. They send me money to pay for things.
Jasmine: I'm sorry. Maybe that wasn't the best change of subject.
Ray: That's ok. It was nice to think of something other than The Prophecy.
Jasmine: So what are we going to do now?
Ray: Well, I already got 6 game chips plus my Light Spirit. So I guess the next thing is to get you 6 game chips.
Jasmine: Do you really believe what he said about The Prophecy?
Ray didn't answer. He just kept looking down at the tabletop.
