"He set us up. He planned out this neighborhood, what week we got back, everything. He wanted us, here, for some reason" Lucinda said striding as she grabbed several different maps from her shelf. Laurence watched as she gracefully spun back around to lay them on the table.

Laurence! Keep your mind on finding out what we're doing!

"So why would he want us here then? This is almost on the other side of town from where we used to live what's so special about it?" Laurence asked studying one of the maps with a focused expression.

"I don't know but it has to be related to Phoenix drop, unfortunately my past life never spent much time in it" Lucinda sighed giving him a pointed look.

He smirked looking at the map once more "Well mine did, let's see if there is any familiar landmarks" he studied the map before his eyes widened as he traced a finger over a certain area

"Phoneix bluff . . . That sounds like the place where the Irene statue was"

Lucinda nodded looking down thinking eyes studying the place Laurence had pointed out. She bit her lip cocking her head before giving Laurence a doubtful look

"What could he want with that?" Lucinda asked a twinge of fear hitting her. She knew how powerful the magic infused in that statue had been however dim it would be now, it was still pure raw magic.

"I don't know but this all seems personal to me, He's specifically targeted Zane and Me" Laurence asked getting up as he started to pace the room.

"But he didn't go after you he went after me" Lucinda pointed out with a shiver almost feeling a phantom hand wrap around her throat.

Laurence shook his head firmly giving her a confident look "No he specifically wanted to make me mad, I can tell when someone is trying to rile me up"

"So what is it about you and Zane then? What did you do to him?" Lucinda asked tiling her head curiously at him. She couldn't imagines what Laurence could have dont to Zane in the past.

Laurence shrugged shaking his head thinking. It could be any number of things but none of them were something both of them did together. He sighed looking down at his hands rubbing them. His eyes widened and he stumbled causing Lucinda to call his name. His legs grew numb causing them to give out and everything was changing. Everything was dizzy and spinning and Laurence couldn't figure out what had happened. Images suddenly shifted in front of him.

"No! You leave or die!" He yelled as his sword came up to meet the other person them letting out a chuckle.

"Oh little Laurence. . . You could have been so much more powerful if that Wyvern of yours didn't sacrifice himself for your pathetic life" they laughed blue eyes staring into his

Laurence grit his teeth feeling his anger surge suddenly causing his sword to become hotter and the fury in his eyes.

"He's the reason why I managed to stay human!" Laurence spat kicking him back.

He chuckled once more letting his sword go slack. Laurence glared at him knowing his eyes had to be glowing red right now.
