They say it all happens for a reason...right? I can still hear the screams and cries from that day. The memories are still so fresh in my head and all I could do was stare and watch as everything I'd ever known had been burned to ashes. People dying, crying. Dead bodies all around me. And the first thing I could think of was survival... I knew this would happen. I couldn't believe that I, of all people, let my guard down like this. It was, inevitable. It was all starting to get and feel so real and all I had was myself, no one else. I knew he would do this yet, I chose to ignore it because I thought one wouldn't reason that far.
I searched for Elvira and Tessa through the crowd. I couldn't lose them. I found them amidst the chaos. Elvira clutched Tessa. There was a burn mark behind Tess's ear.. we followed the crowd into an underground bunker. There was blood everywhere, people screaming and crying over their dead loved ones. Dead bodies in bags., and the terrified look on El's face broke me. I had to fix this so, I ran. and I never looked back.

Alfred, the head butler runs in frantically, ''Sire, something is happening that may not be of your utmost pleasure.'' ''speak, Alfred.'' yelled Heath. ''sire the Exors, they're back'' Alfred said. ''what do you mean they're back? they were banished along with the other useless clans during the exilium.'' yelled Heath angrily. ''that's what I thought too. they were spotted by the two buffons, Dan and Dave.'' cried Alfred. ''whatever shall we do, sire? we can't possibly go down the same path again.'' said Alfred. ''it's too late, they asked for it. ready the squads Alfred. this, is war...'' said Heath. All hell is about to break loose.
