My eyes can barely stay open,  a week has passed. i've only slept an hour and I feel terrible. Monico keeps telling me to get some sleep,  I know she's worried but I need to protect her and everyone else.  Dexter walks in, he looks at me worried.  "Get some sleep,  know. " I shake. my head. "No I need to protect you guys." He looks at me sternly,  "you can't help anyone exhausted." I fall forward,my eyes half close.  I feel Dexter catch me. "Come on bud,  close your eyes. Sleep for a while. " Everything went black as the dream world finally got what it wanted.

I wake up,  the house was quite. I stand and walk to down the stairs, Monico,  sat on a chair reading a book,  my dad was back and so was Takeshi they were talking about something. Monico looked at me from her book and folded the corner. She ran at me and hugged me. "you're finally awake." I hug her back. "how long have I been asleep?" My father laughs "4 days. " I look at him wideyed. "What...? where's Dexter? " My father looks to the window.I nod. I kiss Monico and Head for the door. I walked to where I sat that day he passed out. He sat on the ground with his eyes closed, his sword sat layed out in his hands. He looked concentrated. I approach, "Dexter? " He didn't move,  "Dexter you okay. " He blinks and looks at me,  he then stands and hugged me.  "Glad you're okay bud." I nod,  "thank you, Dexter. " He shows a small smile." What happened in the last 4 days?" His face goes sour and he looks down.  "A fire destroyed the town close by,  an unnatural one, caused by magic,  which not many people have about 30% of the population does. 50 people died in that fire. " I nod. "Did your dad do it?" He shakes his head. "I... I don't know. But,  maybe. " I hear rustle in the bushes," someone  there? " A laugh came lowly from the bushes. "Keen hearing you have Zack. " A man came out. His face covered by a cloak,  he wore black pants and a white, baggy shirt. "Who after you? " I could tell he was smiling,  it scared me. "You will know soon enough Zack, And Dexter good to see you" Dexter nods. " Yes sir it is. " I look at birth in disbelief. "How..... ?" Dexter laughs. "He's an old friend. " The man shakes his head " Yes for quite a while,no?" "Why are you here?" Dexter asked."As your brother already told you,  Zack's in danger. Dexter.... it's coming. " He froze its liked he stopped breathing. "It's too early it wasn't supposed to be here till next month. " I stood there dumbfounded. " Uhhhhh.... what? " that both look at me. " .....Zack just trust us, we can't tell you yet. " I take a step back and frown. Hope can I,  I'm tired of waiting for answers. please just.... tell me. " They stared at each other and they both nodded. The man took his hood off. He had a beard,  and hide eyes but we're a dark blue... He looks... " like someone you know, well he is your uncle." so dad had two brothers? " Hi name's Joe,  nice to me you." He puts his hand out,  I shake it. "Hi,  you know me, so no need. " He nods. " So, Zack,  you know you're danger right? " I nod sadly. " I can tell by the fact we keep getting attacked." Joe's eyes were stern. "You are more powerful than you think." I just nod." Your father,  faked his death for a reason Zack.But....if he tells you,  you'll be in more danger then needed. " the feeling of anger came to my cheeks,  but I held it back. "I'm tired of secrets' i fall to my knees'why with the secrets...why? " I sobbed a little. I feel a hand in my shoulder. "It's okay Zack. " All I did was cry. 'I... I want answers. " Joe's voice came stern. "you'll now soon. " I bite my lip hard not to yell at him, blood washes my mouth. " Calm yourself Zack,  I know you're mad,  but you have to wait. " I spit the blood out of my mouth. "I know, Joe,But can't you see,  in goons end up killing myself with questions. What if an answer could save my life? " His eyes just look at me, he then turns. "I must leave know. Haru,keep him safe for me please. "Dexter nods.  I couldn't watch him leave,  all I did was look angrily at the ground. Maybe.. just maybe.... the answers will kill me.....
