JULLIETS' POV.
I watch Apollo walk out.
Allie, my daughter, whispers, "Wa dat Apowo?"
I nod, stunned.
He died seventeen years ago. How did he just end up here... alive?
Allie shreeks.
I look up from my book.
An angry man is in front of me. A sobbing woman is behind me.
Just like my vision...
THIRTEEN HOURS AGO... JULLIETS' DREAM...
I'm in the Shifter Help building, for Allies' appointment.
My long lost, and dead, nephew, Apollo, is in front of me.
He whispers, "You saved me. Thank you."
Then, he's gone in a flash.
My angry brother is in front of me, leaning on my arm rests. His wife is bawling in the background.
He growls...
PRESENT.....
He cries, "WHERE IS MY SON? I NEED TO TEACH HIM A LESSON THAT'S A LITTLE HARD TO FORGET."
I shrug, and tell him a mage came and took him away.
Then, lightning flashes, and a storm breaks out.
I hear him cry, "WHERE. IS. HE?"
I whisper to Allie, who's near tears, "Go see Polly. Tell her I'm sorry your early."
She takes off.
I push my brother away, and walk to his cying wife.
I ask, "What's wrong?"
She bawls, "He's cursed.... sob sob sob... he cursed him! I told his father to put his tankard away! Sob sob sob sob sob. I told him...."
I pat her, stunned that Apollo is cursed. I missed so much of this poor kids' life.
I get her calmed down, and they left.
Soon, Allie is back. We drive home in muted silence.
I rush to Charter, my husband.
I scream, hysterical, "HE ISN'T DEAD!"
He stares at me like I'm an alien specimen.
I hear a question, "Who?"
I scream, "YOUR ONLY FREAKING NEPHEW!"
I see his face flush.
He stammers, "Wh? Wh...wha.... how.,, he... the fire... the knight.. the death calls.... the wolves.."
I whisper, "He's a dragon rider nocturnal shifter who's cursed!"
He stares blankly. I nod.
He screams, "Why is he in the open! If they... if he....CHRILL I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
I step back, stunned.
What's going on?
