NEARLY TWO MONTHS AFTER PARIS—
Los Angeles, CA

I'm currently standing outside my father's house with my brother Jason by my side. We'd just arrived back in America only an hour ago and I'm so glad to be back home. The last time I was here was a little over three months ago when I woke up with no memories. The very next day we left and were in Egypt.

I admire the old two story house in front of me and can't believe my father once lived here. A world famous warlock lived here? In this run down shack? It had to have been my mother's decision.

I'd expect his house to be a large mansion but I guess my brother was right when he told me our father lost his way at the end and his priorities changed. How could your priorities change when you're all powerful?

As I listen to my brothers words echo in my mind, I'm pulled back into the present by a hand on my shoulder and I look over to find Jason smiling down at me.

"It's time to begin what we've been training to do for so long. We are going to bring down the Underworld Katarina, and make it our own," he grins wickedly at me and for a second—fear overwhelms me.

Then my minds thinks about his words of encouragement every day as we trained, about me being a strong Fitzgerald that can overpower anyone I wanted, helps the fear, the doubt go away.

I know we can do this. I know I can do this. I smile back at him and we make our way into our father's home.

Jason leads me to the basement downstairs and to a back wall that only has a metal box on it. When he opens it, I notice there is an indentation within it, meant for a key. He walks up to me and pulls up on my necklace by its chain. The locket that dangles from it falls out from between my breasts and lands in the palm of his hand.

Jason had given me this locket for safe keeping and said it was a key to a very important, secret room that our father left us. He removes the locket from around my neck and places it inside the indentation and turns it. There's a metallic sound and the brick wall begins to slide sideways, exposing a large metal door.

There's a hand print device on the front and Jason ushers me forward. He said that our father made it so only I could open it. I wonder why. Why wouldn't our father allow both of us to open it?

When I'd asked Jason, he got angry and told me it didn't matter, that's just how father wanted it.

As I place my hand over the pad, I feel a slight pinch of my finger tip and grimace, quickly pulling my hand away. There's a small prick of blood on my finger tip and I stick it in my mouth to suck the blood away as the DNA analysis goes through and a female robotic voice speaks loudly, startling me.

"Welcome back Katarina Fitzgerald."

Welcome back? So I've been here before? It must have been before I lost my memories.

The door makes a clicking noise and opens a few inches. Jason grabs a hold of the edge and begins to pull it open.

The inside of the room lights up and I gasp when I see its contents. Jason eyes light up in awe like it's the first time he's seeing it. Is it?
