"So you ready to join the team," Exodus stated.

I knew where to find my brother. He used to always go to this Caribbean bar on the other side of the island. He always liked to watch the sand. He wasn't surprised when he saw me. It was crazy seeing my spitting image again after all this time.

"How do we do it?" I asked.

"Jumping straight to it huh?"

"We never been much for small talk," I said.

"You are a different one," he said smiling, "We tried so hard to keep you away from magic and still you managed to be strong. How is that?"

"I have someone I love more than all of this."

"The Jakoby boy."

"Yeah. I'm not going to turn on him like you did Micki."

He laughed. I was surprised he found this funny. It was sick.

He shrugged his shoulders, "Magic isn't about love. They are all beneath us. There was a time when I did love her. There was a time I even wanted to marry her. Then I talked to Old Lady. Do you know who the little black girl was to her?"

"Her sister?"

"No...she was her first love. People like us we don't love. Magic is sacrifice. Magic is not love."

"I didn't come here for small talk."

"You came for Immortality. Right?"

"I came for love."

He laughed.

"You changed," he said shaking his head, "Fine. I won't hurt the Jakoby boy. In return we cast a spell. We burn the witches at midnight tonight at the eastern dock. "

"Why midnight?"

"There is a full moon."

"How do we get them to come?"

"That'll be your part. I think they trust you. And when we have them I'll have my little puppets burn them at the stake. The perfect sacrifice."

"You've changed."

"I have," he said laughing, "Why don't you stay and eat with me?"

"I don't want to eat with you. After this I'm taking Jakoby and I'm leaving. I don't want you bother us again. You hear me?

=====================================================================================

Magic was sacrifice.

The more I thought about it the more it scared me. I didn't know what to think about this. I could see the look in my brother's eyes. He had completely forsaken love. What had changed in him? How had he changed.

I found myself going back to the resort and when I did I saw Jakoby talking to Orion by the pool. I had to admit a feeling of jealousy came over me when I saw them talking.

When I walked over Jakoby stood up immediately.

"What's going on here?"

Orion shook his head, "I was just talking about to Jakoby about a plan that we had...about Exodus that is."

"Jakoby is helping now?"

Jakoby smiled, "I told Orion that I knew about everything and he told me what was happening."

"Did he?"

Just seeing them talking made me uneasy.

Orion nodded and shook his head, "Maybe I should let the two of you talk. Um...can you meet me and the other three upstairs when you are down here Gene?"
