Jill's house was indeed bigger than it looked. From the outside, it appeared to contain a minimum of three rooms when in actuality it was far bigger on the inside. There were six bedrooms, a dining room, a living room, the kitchen, and three-and-a-half bathrooms. Three of the bedrooms were on the second floor of the house and the other three were in the basement along with a recreation room, which appeared to be a cross between a den, a library, and a witches' closet. The boys were in the basement, while Jill took her parents' room – who were currently on a vacation to Hawaii - leaving Sarah and Erica the choice between her room and the guest room.
The group had gathered in the living room to watch TV and relax. It was nearly ten o' clock at night when there was a knock at the front door. Jill glanced up and glared at the door for a moment.
"Come in!" she shouted. There was a click as the latch was magically opened and the door swung wide, revealing Ari wearing what appeared to be pink pajama shorts and a tank top to match. She trotted into the room and gave a broad smile.
"Hey everybody. Can I join?" Benny, who had been sitting in one of the chairs leapt to his feet and smiled. Offering the chair he smiled.
"Absolutely, 'Jacuzzi Time Machine' is just about to start." Ari's eyes went wide and she smiled.
"I love that movie!" Sarah and Erica gave each other looks and smiled lightly. Ethan glanced down at Sarah, a sore spot forming in his chest. She was still angry at him. Ethan walked into the kitchen and sat down at the counter, staring into the distance, attempting to put himself somewhere else. Footsteps brought him back to Earth. Jill stood in front of him, a worried look on her face.
"You alright?" he was about to nod when he found himself shaking his head. She sat down across from him, a frown forming on her face.
"Well, what wrong?" Ethan sighed.
"It's visions. They're weird, and choppy. I think they're about you." He was obviously beating around the bush and Jill noticed this.
"Really? And where exactly does this future take place?" Her voice was completely serious as she spoke. Ethan stared at her for a moment and realized she already knew what was going on.
"What is it? In the gym at the school? It seemed to know you." Ethan dropped his voice, ensuring the others wouldn't hear him. Jill did the same.
"The being in the gym is a powerful god type entity from a very long time ago. Quetzalcoatl is his name. And he believes that he can come back if he inhabits my body. He's right of course, but that's not the problem. Quetzalcoatl is not as he appears in the stories. He's evil to the core. If he comes back then we will have a serious problem. Did you see him coming back?" Ethan shook his head. In truth he wasn't sure what he had seen. But a sinking feeling told him to expect the worst. Jill nodded her head and gave a weak smile.
"Well, as long as that doesn't happen, everything should be a piece of cake." As she walked back into the living room, a cold feeling washed over Ethan and he knew that before the week was over he would come face to face with Quetzalcoatl the ancient god.
