When we got to the apartment, my heart sank. It was smaller than the home dad had in the v... It was very small. Lucas went to set up the tech stuff and I went to check the rest of the place out. Though it was small it was out of the way. No one would expect us to be up here so it fits its purpose. Ember jumped off my shoulder, went into the corner of the bedroom, and burned the carpet for a bed... Well, there goes our deposit.

"A come here..." We just got here, there is no way that anything is happing already. You've haven't even had any of that on for more than a minute.

"Seriously L we just got here I want to sleep."

"NOW!" I went over to him and watched the screens. Yep, there they were, Three members of Onyx. Why they named it that I have no idea. It doesn't even stand for anything, It literally just a fucking rock. How are they already here doing shit? I just wanted to sleep.

"Already? Scan the area for any high res magi... Wait, zoom in on the mirror."

"Why?"

"JUST DO IT." Lucas scowled but listened. He zoomed in and then fixed the image so we could see. I'm a magic user, not a techie, I'll leave that to him. Just like he leaves Tumblr to me. He wouldn't survive it anyway. A few seconds later and I'm cursing under my breath.

"Those stupid fucking idiots. Burner... now!" Lucas hands me one of the burners and next thing I know a voice picks up.

"You've reached the phone of the illustrious Harry Potter, I am not at my phone right now, but if you..."

"Shut up and listen to me, you're not safe." Not the best way to start but I'm short on time.

"Who is this?"

"Well, I am certainly not Harry Potter. You guys need to move... now." I watched through the monitors, trying to keep an eye on them and Onyx.

"Sorry but..."

"There are three men walking towards you. One is an illusionist, high powered, equal to yours. the others are masked, YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE." I watched as the one on the phone looked around before finally getting up to leave, the other disappointed but following.

"You're not out of the woods yet. Right now it's imperative you protect your friend."

"And why is that?"

"Because out of everyone Dreamers are always the ones they want the most. There aren't very many more of them anymore." 

"Are you going to tell me who you are now?"

"There are two more men coming in from the west, I suggest you take a right up ahead." The moment I said right, they took a left. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I AM TRYING TO SAVE YOUR ASSES!

"Your both going to die, if you don't listen to me." I yelled into my burner phone.

"Maybe if you told me who you are?"

"Who I am isn't important right now, your being tailed." I was losing my patience.

"Why would we be being tailed?"

"I don't know, why would a secret government take root in the mind space and decide to start kidnapping witches for illegal experimentation?"

"Seriously who are you?" And we are back to square one. I looked at the monitors and saw even more people. They must really want these guys if they sent a whole division.

"Take your next right."

"Why would I.."

"NOW!" I could hear the sound of gunfire in the background, shit. I got up and ran over to the window.

"Be careful A!" Yeah, I'll be careful, once these buffoons start listening to me. "I'm serious."

"Sure L." It doesn't take me long to spot them. "Take your next left."

"That's a subway!"

"Take it!"

"Jesus you remind me of some."

"More moving less reminiscing!" I lost them when they went under. Shit. The monitors aren't them picking up either.

"Can you at least tell me what I can call you. I'll start, My name is Deceit."

"We can talk after I save your ass."

"Should we send in Ember." I look over at L in anger.

"No, we are not sending in my Ember." I am not going to let those grimy psycho freaks touch my girl, besides if I set her loose, who knows what she'll burn...

Wait, that just gave me an idea.

"EMBER... FLY!" She looked up at me and nodded, unfurling and shaking her wings. She jumped through the window growing bigger as she waited. I grabbed my bag and jumped onto the window sill.

"OH NO, You aren't about to do what I think you're about to do right? A dragon isn't exactly hidden."

"First yes I am... Second, You were the one that suggested it first..."

"I wasn't being serious."

"... And third, You forgot my illusions." I took my hat off, tossing it over to Lucas, and let my power begin to leak out. I drew in the shadows around me and as I as I stood there on the window sill, I jumped onto Embers back, covering us both in shadows. The shadows mixed and morph until we were both totally invisible.
