HER TRUTH

Now getting an idea as to what the cult terrorists are up to in bringing about Armageddon, Kaitlyn and the others must piece together the info Kaitlyn stole from the headquarters to find out exactly what will happen. Around 6:30pm Kate gets a phone call. A man says to meet at the Bear Mountain entrance. Kate leaves and arrives at the entrance around 7:10pm. She sits for several minutes in her car. Then a man comes out from the shadows. It's the Cheyenne native American head warrior. Kate gets out and the man tells her she must head up to the native site. The two walk up. The native warrior introduces himself as Daniel. They get to the site and he enters a small hut. Kate goes in as well. Inside there are several Cheyenne officials sitting around a small fire. The chief welcomes Kate and is happy to see her again. He asks her to sit. They soon begin to explain to her about the end of the world.

The chief reads from ancient writings in his hand. "In the end of the human cycle, there will be a great battle. The gods and dark forces shall arise on the alignment. All evil shall be released, death comes over the people. Then on the moment of the alignment a chosen one shall arise as well. The chosen will sacrifice themself to save the peoples of the world. With guidance and protection from the star people and ancient ancestors the chosen shall defeat the darkness and sunlight shall prevail. The chosen one in the ending days will bear the symbol of light. Only she, a girl, can save the peoples of the earth. With the four powers of the ancients and star people, this girl shall save us all."

The chief tells that they know who the chosen girl is. Kaitlyn makes a single nervous laugh.

He then says, "You, Kate, are the chosen girl. You must save us all."

The tribal magicks doctor checks Kaitlyn's lower back.

In slight excitement. "Look! She bears one of the three symbols. The symbol of the ancient Guardian. The slayer."

The chief then says, "Quickly, gather the tribe, we must prepare the chosen girl for her battle. Gather your supplies."

Two natives rush out the hut. They return with four more natives. The chief puts on his tribal wear and the magick doctor begins a native American chant and throws some powders and ingredients into the fire. Kate remains sitting waiting for any instruction. The doctor throws another powder into the fire and the fire grows taller. Then a native religious leader comes to Kaitlyn and takes a small bowl of a blood like substance and dips his thumb in and smears a small bit of blood on Kaitlyn's forehead.

He says, "The bear." Again he smears another small bit next to it and says, "The eagle." Again, "The coyote." And finally, "The rabbit."

The tribal leaders continue the native chant and the fire turns blue. Then a blue mist grows out of the fire and swirls around slowly. The mist stops and shoots into the eyes of Kate and on her lower back the symbol of light and the star people appears. The fire shrinks down and the tribe stops.

The chief tells Kaitlyn, "You are now under the protection and guidance of the ancients and star people."

Kate now knows what she is to do. Daniel walks her down to her car. He tells her good luck and hands her a small item with symbols all around it.

"For luck." He says.

She thanks him and leaves. Kaitlyn is almost home when a sharp pain strike her lower back. She checks and a third symbol has appeared. It looks like Chinese. Kaitlyn turns around and goes to the airport. She gets a ticket for China. She knows she must meet the Shao Lin monks. The next day the others can't find Kate. Spike says she never came home last night. Giles tries calling her cell phone. No answer. With all of them panicked the doorbell rings. Shawn answers and Daniel from the tribe is there. Shawn doesn't know who he is though. Shawn asks who he is. Daniel introduces himself and walks in. He says that Kaitlyn is on a small journey and that she needs some time to empower herself. He explains Kate is one of great power and needs to meet all three of the protectors. The Watcher's Council, the Cheyenne Native Tribe and the Shao Lin. Kate will only be gone for a few days. Meanwhile Kaitlyn arrives in Beijing and gets a small flight out to Tibet. By helicopter she is dropped off on a mountain in which she walks the rest of the way. By night fall she arrives at the Shao Lin temples in the mountains. Two monks come out and bow to her. Kate bows back and they walk her to a temple. There, the leader comes out and greets her. In the morning they head out to a meditation ground and they begin to meditate. Then Kate enters a trance. In the trance she appears in a dark area. Then a white mist comes out and begins speaking. It tells her the end is near. Use the alignment to destroy the darkness. Before Kaitlyn can ask what this alignment stuff is, the mist shoots into her eyes and disappears. Kate shocks out of the trance.

The monk walks up and says, "You are now ready."
