/> "Everything. How does Reece find out these things so easily?"
"I don't know," Creon asked, still frowning.
"Why are we even doing this? Why can't we just ditch our boss and have a normal life?" Monika asked.
"I wish that we can have a normal life too, Monika. I do."
Suddenly, Creon got an idea. He knew what he had to do, but he had to find someone he knew could help him find Griffen and Reece. He had to find them.
He grabbed his phone and dialed his creators number in a dash and told his boss that he wanted to know where they were so he could find them. He couldn't tell his creators what he was doing.
"Well," his boss said, "I can find out where they are, just give me a few minutes."
His boss clicked the phone off, dialing another number. He talked on the phone for a few more minutes and then he was back on the line with Creon. "They are in Las Vegas," his boss said and hanged up.
"Honey, I am going to Las Vegas."


Reece finally understood everything. She wasn't a princess or the daughter of the leaders of the clans that were once all one clan.
The clans at one time had been one whole clan, different people in one place living in peace and harmony but had gotten jealous of each other and split. They started a war that turned into a prophecy that was just a legend. It wasn't real. Reece and her brother were not even real.
Evernime couldn't even believe what she was telling Reece herself. She had just learned the truth. All she needed to do was touch someone that was created by the first leaders of time and she knew everything. Everything was so real to her. She saw when the world was first being created. She saw the world develop into what it is today and she saw how it was going to die too, but she didn't tell anyone that either because it was coming in their time no matter what anyone did to try and stop it.
"I cannot believe that everything I thought I knew about all this was a lie," Reece said, shaking her head.
"Yes, well, neither can I," Evernime said.
"So there really wasn't even a prophecy at all? I thought that you said there is one. You told me that you studied it and memorized it at one point," Reece said.
"I did because that is what I thought was the truth. But some how touching you hand or your shoulder, I saw the truth. I don't really know how I saw everything else that didn't have to do with you, but I did. The prophecy was just a legend that never was but grew into what people believed in."
William had gotten tired and went to sleep in his office on his small foldout bed when the light outside in the sky started to darken. For some reason, Reece missed him even though he was right nest to her in a different room.
"Nothing is even real to me. I have been living a lie, and so has everyone else. The Skincrawlers especially. They are the ones who had no idea about anything and then they believed in the prophecy and turned against everyone else because they believed in it so much," Reece said, shaking her head. "Just like they started to believe in the Devil, but then turned against him to because they only believed in the prophecy."
Evernime nodded, agreeing. "We need to go and tell them that. Somehow, we need to let them know that they have been living on a legend that doesn't even exist."
"Right, but how?" Reece asked herself more than she was Evernime.
Reece thought about how the Skincrawlers had so badly wanted to know where her real parents were and they were willing to kill her to find out. All they wanted to do is change fate, even though it was never going to happen anyways. They so badly wanted to get rid of the prophecy because they didn't know it was just a legend.
"I have no idea," Evernime said.
"But if the prophecy is just a legend, then how do you know everything it says? I mean, you said that you studied it for so long. Is there a paper or something?" Reece asked, as she saw through a small window to his office William stand up and yawn. He walked out of his room and smiled when he saw Reece looking at him as he turned to sink on and slug some water down without even getting a glass to put the water in.
"Hi," William said as he wiped the water off his face.
Reece's heart raced as she said, "Hi, have a good catnap?"
William laughed. "Sort of. I kept having a really weird dream over and over."
Evernime took a sip of the glass of water she had gotten when her throat was dry from talking so much to Reece and sat it back down, ignoring William. "Well, I am not really sure how there came to be a scroll of the legend, but one point in time, there was one."
"Where is it?" William asked, sitting next to Reece, who's heart was racing so fast and hard, she thought everyone in the room could hear it.
"The last time I read it, it was in a museum being moved. I honestly don't know at this point. I only see the truth, remember?" Evernime said, rolling her eyes at him.
He keeps thinking of you, Reece. Evernime sent a telepathic message to Reece.
Reece didn't look up from her reflection on the counter. She had heard what Evernime sent to her in her head.
What are you talking about? Reece asked, finally looking up at her.
Just like I said, he can't stop thinking about you. He lied when he said he had a weird dream. I saw what he dreamed about, and it wasn't what he said he dreamed about. He likes you, and I know how hard your heart is beating for him right now. Evernime said, smiling at her.
Reece looked away as she stood up and walked past Evernime. I don't know what your talking about, Evernime.
Evernime scoffed, smiling. "Its no use hiding it from anyone, Reece."
William looked at Evernime and frowned. "What am I missing here?"
"Nothing," Evernime and Reece said at the same time.
"No, your both lying. You were doing that weird telepathic thingy, aren't you?" William asked Evernime, who looked away so he wouldn't see her smiling.
Reece opened the front door of the Black Bar and stepped outside to feel the cool breeze.
The breeze wasn't as cool as she thought it would be. It was a warm breeze. Warmer than her town usually is at this time of the summer. It was late summer, and in her town, it would be starting to cool down for the fall and where the leaves would start to fall and turn beautiful colors of red, yellow, orange.
Reece had always wanted to come here and stay at the Bellagio, a hotel with a light and water show and synchronized music.
Reece turned around to see William standing behind her.
"Beautiful, isn't it?" He asked, standing next to her.
"Yes, it is. I have always wanted to come here. My town is so small, but it does have its moments like this. Even in the dark," Reece said, trying hard not to look at William, who was also trying not to look at her.
"What's your town called?" William asked in a whisper.
"Small Town."
"No shit?" William asked, laughing. "I have never heard of it before. And I do get around alot."
"Yes, it is true. Our mayor wanted to call it something that it was, and our town is small, so we called it Small Town. Its very pretty there in the late summer right now and when the sun goes down, its like a clash of different beautiful colors in the sky raining down on you," Reece said, feeling stupid for describing a sunset.
William smiled, finally looking at her.
"I can show you a really beautiful place tomorrow if you want me to. It will take your breath away," William said, scooting closer to her as they stood in front of the bar and looked at the street.
"That would be wonderful. Why isn't there many people driving or walking by?" Reece asked. "I always thought that Las Vegas would be busy on every street and corner."
"Well, its a week day, so its not as busy today. And when some places down here are closed, like mine is, people don't come down here. They like to come when things are open, not closed."
"Ah, I get it," Reece said, a small smile crossing her face.
"I'm glad Griffen brought you here," William said, not noticing that he took her hand in his, entangled his fingers with hers.
Reece did notice, though. And it felt like the most natural thing in the world.
"I am too, but I do miss him though. I wonder where he is. I wonder if he thinks of us in any way."
"I have no idea."
They were silent for a few minutes. Reece broke the silence.
"So, when did you start a group for your hunting the Skincrawlers?" Reece asked.
"Did Griffen ever tell you about how we met?" William asked.
"Yes, he did. He said that he saved you from a Skincrawler."
"Right. He did. About three months later, I thought about him and called him up. At the time, I didn't know who Evernime was. We talked about how we have been and Griffen had made a joke about something that I don't even remember and it gave me an idea to help stop them from taking over because Griffen had said that that is what he thinks they would do. So I made a website for people with his type of abilities and Evernime emailed me and we met and started to date."
Reece knew he would eventually tell her about how he met Evernime, but she didn't think it would be this soon.
"So you just met Evernime, and you started to date?" Reece asked.
"Not exactly. We met and she told me about herself and I already knew Judo and Ju Jitsu and Karate, so I taught her to fight because she had once came face to face with one before. So I taught her every single day of the week except for Sunday, which we always went out and did something to keep our minds off of what we really had been doing. We got to know each other and became friends, which eventually turned into something more."
"When did you ask her to marry you?" Reece asked.
"I wasn't the one who asked to marry. She asked me. Well, more like told me I should marry her."
"And you did?" Reece asked, surprised.
"No. I told her if she wanted to get married, she had to prove that it was more than what she was showing. She did, or so I thought, and we went to a church and got married. But our relationship went down the drain once we settled down. We would fight over the dumbest things and so we divorced not even two months into the marriage. We became friends after that. A month after we just became friends, we got a letter saying that we had been illegally married," William said, shaking his head. He looked at Reece and watched her hair blow gently in the wind. "And I'm glad that Evernime and I didn't stay together."
Reece looked at William
