Emily (Hold)

Eight

|Time Skip|

"I don't think so" Rufus has my hands tied behind my back, we see those from the cult Victor formed so they could get immortality. Who knew the supernatural world is real?

"Rufus" Victor orders "let her go"

"Not until after she puts the cup together" he says "go ahead Joy" mocking her name "assemble the cup"

We hear a rush of footsteps and in comes the others "Let her go!" Fabian exclaims

He pulls out an hourglass that has Victor freeze "Red Suktah Sand Flies, very rare and extremely dangerous" looking around the room "now put the cup together!"

The woman I've seen before is by my side "Don't worry—everything will be alright" we watch as Joy tries to form the cup but she can't.

"What is going on?!" Rufus screams at Joy having her flinch.

"I can't" she cries looking his way "I don't know"

"She isn't the chosen one" Rufus is about to smash the hourglass having everyone scream in fright but Fabian who yells "Wait! I know who the chosen one is!"

Everyone looks at him "what makes a chosen one?" He asks, really? He says he knows but he asks what makes one?

"Always a female" Mr. Sweet tells us "and the day they were born. Same month, day and time"

"Emily what day were you born and what time?" Patricia asks me

"October tenth" everyone stares at me "I don't know, it was sometime in the morning"

"The tenth hour" Rufus laughs bitterly "seems it's your lucky day" he unties me and he makes a huge mistake, I kick him hard that he drops the hourglass. Catching it, I go over to the table as he is restrained.

"Miss Prescott" Victor motions to the pieces and I begin to take them "say with the Circle of Life, I close with the Circle of Light"

"With the Circle of Life" creating the cup or putting it back together "I close with the Circle of Light" I begin to feel myself be different, it's hard to explain but it's like my senses are becoming more clear.

My necklace begins to glow and I place it upon the cup that this warm feeling comes from the cup to me, closing my eyes I take in the energy forming inside of me. When my eyes open, the woman from before is next to me smiling brightly.

"I am so proud of you" she touches my face before looking at the cup "protect it, ask this man about the Paragon and Osirian" looking at Mr. Sweet then to her, she begins to disappear.

"Wait!" I stop her taking her hand

"Woah!" Jerome whispers "whose that? She's smoking hot"

"Who are you?" I ask

She merely comes closer and cups my face "In time you'll figure out the truth my beautiful granddaughter" leaning in close she kisses the top of my head before whispering "I'm Isis"

She disappears then and the room is silent as I look at the cup "Woah Em!" Amber exclaims "your really beautiful"

"Um" letting out a laugh "thanks"

"More so" Patricia shakes her head "you...wow"

"It's the chosen one's true self coming forth" Victor takes the cup and pours the liquid.

"Victor?" He looks my way as I point to the liquid "you should probably know something"

"What?" He asks

"We didn't want Rufus" Alfie explains "to become immortal, so we destroyed the original elixir"

"You what?!" Everyone exclaims

I take the cup and watch as Rufus is taken away, looking at Mr. Sweet I go over to him "Mr. Sweet?" He looks at me "is it okay if I ask you something?"

"Of course" nodding his head

"What's an Osirian?" I ask

He is silent looking around then to me "I will tell you later but not here, not now" he lowers his voice "too many ears around" he looks at the cup "what will you do with the cup?"

"Protect it" I say "make sure no one like Rufus gets their hands on it"

|Time Skip|

I'm eating my supper with the others, talking to Amber and Mara about the upcoming prom. How the theme of it will be starry nights. It's been months since assembling the cup and in secret I've been working on my newfound abilities that I gained or unlocked. So far I've gone over that my strength, speed and durability have increased. There's also this shield like thing I'm able to create, it's like a barrier but it's more protective like a shield. So that I'm able to create a thin wall that I'm only able to see, I'm visualizing what it looks like.

The door opens and we see DSS Agent Luke Hobbs, everyone goes quiet looking at him "Woah!" Alfie exclaims "he's huge!"

"Miss Prescott" he greets "been some time"

"I see the scar I gave you healed up" smiling at the memory of me throwing a knife at him the he barely dodged.

He chuckles "I see the bullet wound I gave you healed up"

"What?" Joy asks

"Oh didn't she tell you?" Hobbs asks them "she use to be on the FBI's most wanted list"

"What?!" They all exclaim

"First off" I want to make it clear "what happened in Rio was fun"

"You helped destroy half the city and kill about three hundred men" corrupt cops who worked for Reyes and didn't deserve to live.

"She killed" Jerome asks "how many people?!"

"In my defense" I say "it was fun—now why are you here?"

"Let's talk in private" he suggests, getting up I follow him to the foyer where he hands me a file. Looking at it, my brows furrowed confused seeing a picture of Letty.

"I don't understand" shaking my head

"Letty is alive" I'm sorry? What? "I need your help along with Dom and the Crew, the job is in London"

"How do I know this is real?" I demand

"You don't" shaking his head "but it's a chance you'll have to take"

"Is Dom here?" He nods his head and if that's true then alright "alright"
