   There were screams as the four of them walked into the seven story building. The frightened humans were directing their fear onto Riley and Jocelyn, who walked with darkness all around them and looked as if they had invented evil.

But most of all, they were curious. Curious about this being who had black glossy skin and eyes like binoculars seeing into outer space. Curious about the naked and fragile looking young witch carrying a man twice her size who also happened to be wearing one of the heaviest looking armors in all of Hell.

These buildings were all a lot of these innocent humans knew. This was their home, their safe haven and a place they knew they trusted with their lives. Seeing non-humans walking in was more than a surprise, it was a warning that things weren't going to be so calm anymore.

"What is going on?" said Bishop, one of the youngest Rogues and the one in charge of the human base they were currently in. He had just walked out of a room after being notified of the supernatural disturbance at the front of the building.

"This is fascinating," Jocelyn said as she took in the attention the humans were giving her from a very fixed distance. "I have never seen this many humans in one area before."

"Are you going to explain yourselves?" Bishop asked when he paused in front of them, his brown eyes staring disappointingly at the two girls.

"It's better if we go downstairs to the basement," Pearl said and Fiona nodded in agreement.

Bishop sighed deeply, still staring at the girls like they had just made the biggest mistake of their lives. Still, he led them to an elevator where they descended into a more private area where no eyes or ears could eavesdrop.

"Where have you guys been? The Leaders have been on my ass ever since the news spread," Bishop said as he sat behind a large wooden desk. "And who are these people? Why would you risk the safety of the humans by bringing in non-humans?"

"Oh, I'm very human" Jocelyn said, pointing her sharp fingernails at him.

"Does everyone know about what happened in Rev?" Fiona asked as she took one of the seats in front of the desk, facing Bishop. The room was dark but made everyone feel like they were back on Earth.

"Yes. There's nothing but chaos out there. The Leaders are scared shitless for these humans. The escape spell isn't anywhere near close to being finished. We are all running out of time."

"But we have the white witch. Isn't that all they need to get us out of here?"

"Not in her state. She's barely conscious and we expect her to open a massive portal that will let us free? I don't think so."

"Then what are we supposed to do?" Pearl demanded, angrily pacing back and forth. "We've done everything they have asked for years. They should have some answers before it's too late for all of us."

"You can start by telling me who these people are and why I have an unconscious prince in my base."

"This is my brother and that's the Jocelyn," Fiona said.

Bishop blinked. "Come again?"

"We don't have time, foolish boy," Jocelyn said as she dashed in front of Bishop in a blink of an eye, her barely alive hands gripping his neck tightly, squeezing like she was trying to send a message but not harm. "We are here to give you all of our secrets to help you and your precious humans."
