Chapter 4:
Down in his chamber, Lord Wyatt was pissed. He was pissed at the demons, the witches, the human population, and the whole stupid world. Above all, he was pissed at his little sister.
"Damn it! I need Melinda on my side, and I need her on my side now!" he thought angrily
"May I be seen?" A voice asked from the shadows
"Show yourself!" Lord Wyatt ordered
A young demon stepped out from the darkness. She was 36 years old, with dark silky hair and a dark toned face, strong, solid, and powerful looking.
"Explain yourself, Phoenix." Lord Wyatt said
"My Lord. I believe that the key is Melinda, as you have already known. However, I have an idea to get her on our side." The Phoenix explained
"How?" Lord Wyatt demanded
"Well, I have been alerted by a reliable source that she and her friend were buying ingredients for a time-traveling portal. I believe that they mean to go back in time and turn you "good". If Your Majesty wishes, I could help them and turn them to you when the time is right. They would be all yours." The Phoenix finished
"Hmmm…. Very good idea Phoenix. I could have Melinda and Julie on my side…" Lord Wyatt pondered
The Phoenix blushed
"Phoenix." Lord Wyatt said
"Yes, My Lord?" the Phoenix asked
"I'd like you to get started. Befriend them. Become one of the Resistance. Become an important member of the Resistance- someone who they can't live without. Use what you know about Julie. It will come to your advantage." Lord Wyatt commanded
"Yes, My Lord. Would you like me to leave now?" The Phoenix asked
"Yes. And Phoenix?" Lord Wyatt asked as the Phoenix turned to leave his chamber
"Yes?"
"Be sure to keep your identity completely secret. Do not mention me. Do not mention Phoenix. Create a completely new identity- in the past and the present." Lord Wyatt said
"Yes, My Lord." The Phoenix left his chamber and shimmered out
"Damn, I'm smart. I surprise even myself sometimes with the things I can come up with." Lord Wyatt complemented himself
