Chapter Two

Elizabeth

She was still unconscious on Dave's bed, and he had no idea what to do with her. She had asked for Balthazar and he was still on his way. Dave looked at the girl quietly breathing on his bed, then at his fiancée standing beside him. She of course knew everything to do with sorcery. Dave wasn't going to keep her in the dark, she would hate him for it. And then he'd be worse off. She seemed almost familiar though. Something about her... it was like he had seen her before. Dave heard the clang of the door, Balthazar was here.

Dave ran out to meet him, knowing he'd probably want to know what happened before he walked in. Becky hadn't really specified the problem. She didn't want him to be too distracted as he made his way over here. He seemed to have troubles driving and thinking.

Dave began talking, filling Balthazar in on what had happened. "Balthazar! Finally, ok so she was just laying there on my bed when we got home from dinner-"

"Where Dave asked me to marry him!" Becky nearly screamed. Balthazar looked at her and gave her his sort of half smile before turning back to Dave. Waiting for him to finish his story. Dave had this huge grin on his face and continued his story.

"Well she was just laying here and when we tried to wake her up, she coughed a whole bunch and then asked for you then fell back unconscious. We couldn't wake her up again and our only lead was you. So, do you know anything about this?" Dave asked leading Balthazar into his bedroom. Balthazar looked curious, probably about who this young woman was. Balthazar went to the side of the bed she currently resided on and looked at her face. Then gasped and called Veronica over. They whispered back and forth to each other for a bit while Dave and Becky watched extremely confused.

"This is Elizabeth. She was a young woman who Merlin cured of a dangerous disease centuries ago. When he cured her she harvested powers and became a pretty powerful sorceress. She was on our side, but she disappeared around the time Morgana started wreaking havoc. Merlin wasn't concerned with Elizabeth's disappearance, probably too busy with Morgana but either way, she disappeared and I haven't seen her since." Balthazar said after awhile. He looked down at Elizabeth, his eyes clouded with something, his face unreadable. Dave wasn't sure what Balthazar was thinking, he was very guarded right now.

Balthazar walked out of the room and grabbed Dave's Encantus. Flipping through it, he kept muttering stuff about what Merlin wanted, what he possibly said to her. Dave was so confused and just watched Balthazar from his bedroom door as he flipped through the large book. Finally he cried out as he found what he was looking for.

"Sometimes when a wizard cures a disease some of his power is transferred into the body of whoever he cures. Like the thread a shirt, Merlin's magic is woven into her body. But I have a feeling that once you came along, Dave, the magic got disrupted and started unraveling. When she received those powers by accident, something happened. She got more power than she thought she would ever get. She is what I've been searching for! She is the Delta! I'm not sure what that means exactly, but this explains quite a bit. You see, the Delta was supposed to come before you, Dave. They were supposed to warn me about your coming so that I wouldn't be surprised. One problem was that I had no idea she existed, well at least no idea that she was the Delta and what the Delta was supposed to do. Merlin never told me. So I was never waiting for her. The other problem was she also is an Oracle. The girl herself was the Oracle and Merlin came to her for help. I have a feeling that when Merlin disappeared she went off to Delphi, where all the Oracles must eventually make pilgrimage. So thats where she disappeared to!" Balthazar cried out explaining nearly everything to Dave.

"But why was she gone for centuries Balthazar? Most pilgrimages, even for Oracles only last half a century at the most. Why did it take so long for Elizabeth?" Veronica asked, touching Balthazar's arm. He considered it for a moment, unsure of how to answer. Everyone could see hikm trying to figure it out. He had pretty much guessed on everything up to this point, and so far it had made quite a bit of sense. But right now, his guess was as good as anyone's.

"Maybe she didn't know she was the Delta. Perhaps she didn't understand and told someone else the coming of the Prime Merlinean and was unsure of who she was supposed to tell. I have a feeling Merlin didn't know she was supposed to be the Delta. In his notes, it made it seem as if Merlin was going to tell someone their duties, and pass on his wisdom to them. Almost like an apprentice, but different. But he never got the chance mainly because he died before he thought he was going to. So she didn't understand what she really was, and she was trying to understand what all her visions were. And why she had this magic ability." Balthazar explained looking triumphant. It made no sense to Dave, but what difference did it make. Either way there was still a girl he didn't know in his bed, and his fiancée was looking really nice in her dress and these two together made Dave a very unhappy person.

"Ok, so how do we get her out of my bed?" Dave asked. Cause even if he and Becky weren't gonna fool around, he would like to actually sleep in his bed. Balthazar looked at Dave with that look. The look that made Dave want to roll his eyes and apologize. The look that meant, 'how can you be so insensitive?'

Dave just stared back at Balthazar not giving in to his pitiful stare. Balthazar shrugged his shoulders but then muttered some stuff and Elizabeth levitated off the bed. "You! Couch." Balthazar instructed to Dave. Dave ran into the main room and magicked a couch for the levitating girl. Balthazar made her land softly on the couch. "Thank you Dave for this discovery. Good night you two." And with that, Dave and Becky were herded into their room and the door closed behind them. Dave gave one look at Becky and she smiled, and Dave knew the magic from the proposal was still there.

The Next Day

Dave woke up in a good mood. He was now engaged to a beautiful woman, was a sorcerer and lived in a large apartment he hadn't even paid for. He walked out of his bedroom to go make some breakfast for his beautiful bride to be and just as he shut the door behind him to go make said breakfast, remembered that he had company and ran back inside his room to find clothes. He peeked out from behind the door once, and saw that Elizabeth was there, sleeping on the couch, not moving. He sneaked out into the kitchen-ish area to make breakfast. She still didn't stir. He then decided she wasn't going to wake up.

He put on the eggs, and some bacon and of course a few pancakes, he was whistling a funny tune and dancing a little in his underwear. After putting everything on a plate he turned around to bring all these wonderful food to his bride, only to find that Elizabeth, was no longer asleep on the couch. There wasn't a couch for her to be asleep on. Dave tip toed over to the bedroom, opened the door stealthily and closed the door even more quietly. He then locked the door, set the food down and called Balthazar.

"We have a slight problem. Elizabeth is no longer sleeping in the center of my apartment. The couch isn't there anymore. I don't know how powerful she is, but she's had centuries of magic practicing and I've had a year or two. So please come over and help me. Mainly because I have no idea where she is!" Dave whispered fiercely, freaking out into the phone. He could hear Balthazar sighing on the other end of the receiver.

"Dave, did you think to look in the bathroom?" Balthazar asked as if talking to a 6 year old.

"No! I was more concerned with the fact that there is a powerful sorceress roaming around my apartment when my sleeping fiancée is in the next room! I did not check the bathroom!" Dave nearly yelled into the phone.

"He's freaking out... Well what do I say to him? I can't very well... Fine. No I'm driving just fine while talking with him. No don't you..." He had obviously been talking to Veronica and driving when Dave had called. "Dave, we'll be over in a few moments. I have a feeling you are locked inside your bedroom with a hot plate of breakfast?" Veronica said smoothly over the phone. She had apparently been unhappy with Balthazar's driving skills and had taken the phone away. Dave could still hear Balthazar muttering angrily in the background.

"Yes." Dave muttered simply. She laughed, said goodbye and hung up the phone. This was going to be an interesting day.
