*Unknown*
“She will be mine, her whole family will pay for what they done to us.” The rage was getting harder to contain. I feel like I will explode if I have to wait any longer. How can anyone cause that much damage and then act like they haven’t done anything wrong! She needs to know our pain. She will know this torment and I will enjoy every second of her anguish.
“Sir, there is someone here to see you.” Not making eye contact.
“Thank you, Gemma. Bring them to me.” This is the perfect plan. I will not fail this time. The fire was an amateur attempt. I should have known she was smart, like her mother. That bitch just knew when something was going to happen. Her father was not as smart but could fight and he was fast.
*Dez*
Viktor said to make sure I wasn’t followed, this has to be serious. He is not this secretive.
“Is Ruby safe?” Viktor asked concerned.
“Yes, of course. What is wrong?” Something isn’t right. I trust Viktor, I know he wouldn’t turn on me.
“I have been with Ozias. I was inquiring about their telepathic connection. As I told you that is extremely rare for our kind to just develop those types of gifts so quickly. They shared a prophecy with me, an ancient one. We have not spoken or even thought of this prophecy for a millennia.” Viktor looked around making sure they were still alone.
“Why did I have to leave my mate and come out here for some old prophecy that never came to be?”
Viktor looked down at his feet. “Son, I believe Ruby is the woman in that prophecy. The state of our world depends on her choices. The prophecy was extremely vague. A lot of the specific details were forgotten by the time it was finally put in our archives. It was one of the first ones to be stored there.”
“What makes you think it is Ruby?” This cannot be right. I will have to read this prophecy.

*Ruby*It had only been on night since Dez had left. I feel completely empty and the energy outside wasn’t normal. Even the dogs could sense something wasn’t right. They have been pacing and sniffing the air all day. They have refused to go outside. When I opened the door they just stared outside. Growling at something I couldn’t see. Maybe getting them wasn’t a good idea, they can’t protect me from this. At least I’m not alone.*Unknown*“Haven! How have you been?” She has grown so much. It’s time for her to take her place in our family.“I’m fine, Uncle. Mom said there was an emergency and you needed to see me right away.” Haven kept her eyes down. She knew better than you challenge me.“I see you haven’t forgotten your place. That’s good. You have been under cover for some time now. Have

*Haven* I don’t want to betray Ruby, she has never done anything to me. In fact she was the nicest person I have ever met. I love her more than I have ever loved anyone, including my crazy family. They blame Ruby for our family’s downfall. I don’t think she would ever intentionally hurt anyone. Fuck! I hear him coming over here. “Mmmm something new to play with, come here and I’ll make sure it won’t hurt so bad.” He smells like he’s been down here forever. “Stay away from me!” I had accidentally backed into a corner. His smile was evil and his eyes were soulless. He was closing in on me, I have nowhere to hide. I’m trapped. Should I fight back or just go limp and let whatever happens happen. He’s close enough I can smell his stagnant breath. He reached for my throat and I ducked out of the way and ran. I didn’t get far, maybe ten feet. “Haven, didn’t you miss me? We used to have so much fun. Don’t you remember?” H
Secrets Within 6
**Dez**Viktor told me that I can not return home. He said that it is very important to make sure Ruby stays safe. Ozias and Atara are the only ones we can trust. They are headed to the vault to go over the prophecy. I have been back with Ruby for four days. She has been a little distant with me, I hope she tells me what is bothering her. It seems like she wants to tell me something. The dogs are very alert. It seems like they know something is coming. I haven’t sensed anything yet. I am starting to think they aren’t normal dogs. Maybe I am just being more paranoid since the talk with Viktor.“Hey, Dez. Can I talk to you please?” Ruby walked in the living room.“Of course, love. You can talk to me about anything.” I want her to know she can trust me completely.“You seem like something is bothering you. Is everything ok?” The dogs never left Ruby’s side. She named the male, Phantom and the female Luna.

**Dez** “Haven, what happened to you?” She looks awful. There was blood everywhere and bruises. “Is Ruby here? I need to talk to her!” Phantom got out and started circling her, he was still growling. (Ruby, Haven is hurt, and Phantom is circling her.) (Bring her inside. Phantom won’t attack her) Phantom stopped growling and started to push her inside. Ruby came running in to the living room. “Haven what happened?” “She passed out, she’s still alive.” Haven was laying on the couch. She was pale and lifeless. If I was human I would think she was dead. Ruby kneeled next to Haven and touched her arm. A faint buzzing noise filled the room, I can feel the vibrations coming from Ruby. I have never felt anything like this. The bruising on Haven’s face was fading and the color was coming back. Haven was starting to wake up, Ruby stood and gave her some space. “What did you do?” Ruby looked confused. “I don’t know, Dez, I’ve never done that before. I just wanted her to be better and not

**Viktor** I have spent the past few days researching the oldest prophecies. Perhaps they will hold more pieces of the ancient prophecy. There were once rumors that the ancient prophecy was broken up in to chapters. This has been some puzzle and so far I am not solving it. Today I have to make my way to the safe house. Dez has a keen eye, he may be able to piece this puzzle together. An apartment complex would make a vulnerable safe house, but in fact can be quite clever if one has the connections to fortify it. I have secretly kept friendly with some warlocks. Their magic is old but strong. The complex is modern and high tech as well. It’s a beautiful day, the sun is shining and the warmth from the sum warms my chilled skin. Summer is my favorite season, keeps me energized. I knocked on the door of apartment 6. Dogs barking, Ruby must have dogs. Dez has been quite secretive about her, this of course has my interest peaked. I wouldn’t be surprised by a shift in his loyalty, after a

**Ruby** “It’s lovely to finally meet you, my dear.” Viktor said as he kissed my hand. “We have so much to talk about. I have brought some of the scrolls from our archives. I came across three prophacies that are very similar, by that I mean minor detail that are identical but the outcomes are drastically different.” “Ruby,” I looked at Dez. “I haven’t told you about my meeting with Viktor, because I knew you would have questions that I can not answer.” “I don’t like that you kept this from me, but I also understand why you did.” I feel like I’m going to cry. “Sir?” looking at Viktor. “Please call me Viktor.” He has such a comforting energy. “Viktor, what do I have to do with these prophacies? I’m nobody, just an orphan.” Viktor looked concerned. “My dear girl, you have to know that you are everything to Dezmon and therefore greatly important to me. Dezmond is my son and now you, my daughter. Your life is worth ours, and we would sacrifice ours without hesitation to sav

“As I was saying, the second prophecy is just as vague. It tells of a beautiful young woman who was alone in the world, searching for her purpose. She didn’t know that a great evil was after her. This evil was not of our world but knew of our existance. They were determined to gain control of our world as well as the mortal one. Fire took everything from her, her fear would be her downfall unless....” Viktor stopped “Unless what?” Ruby asked, her face pale. “That is all that was left. It was too deteriorated to translate.” Viktor continued. “The third says, a woman will be the downfall of our world. A prisoner, trained to hate all immortals including herself. This woman is key to our existance. If she is captured our world is doomed, our world will cease to exist.” Silence. “How are these prophecies connected?
Secrets Within 11
Viktor looked Dez in the eyes and said, “The description of this woman is all the same. Electric green eyes, jet black hair and a vampire mate. This woman has the ability to bring our world peace or extinction, based on her choices.” All eyes were on Ruby. “It can’t be me, it has to be someone else.” “Love, you are extraordinary, how can you think anyone else fits that description?” Ruby shifted into a massive black lion. The look on the lions face was pain and confusion. (“DEZ! Help me!”) (“What am I to do? Has this never happened before?”) The lion was pacing now. (“No! I hurt so bad. How do I change back?”) Low growls were coming from the lion that was once Ruby. (“I am not sure. Just think human.”) I am not sure if that will work but its worth a shot. (“Ok”) The lion closed her eyes but jumped and yelped in agony.
