The voices won't stop. All Sophia could hear were the whispers of unknown spirits that we're warning her of an outcome so terrible, that she tried to cover her ears as tightly as she could. She didn't know where she was, but it was somewhere cold and dark. She called for help as the wind became harsher, leaving her with intense chill as her teeth began to chatter. Painful images flashed in her mind and she gritted her teeth. "You're in grave danger." The spirits said. "The Crystal....the crystal....Someone has touched the Crystal." They said. "But that's not possible! We hid the crystal somewhere safe!" Sophia denied as she painfully inhaled the cold air surrounding her. 

The voices ceased as the wind became calmer and she heard someone behind her. "Sophia." She turned around and she became speechless as she faced Yara. "You're....You're real." Sophia spoke softly as she held herself in order to stay warm. "I apologize for spoiling the moment, but we have a big problem." Yara said with a shaky voice. "What is it?" Sophia said with extreme concern. "Give me your hands and I will show you." Yara ordered. Sophia walled up to her and placed her hands in Yara's with no hesitation. 

The vision was a bit blurry, but she could make out the Andel Falls football field when it got destroyed back in August. The field was close to desolate, but she could make out a figure kneeling over a bag, Drake's bag, to be exact. The figure pulled out the Crystal and as they touched it a curtain of dark matter surrounded them and they dropped the Crystal. Sophia watched in horror as the dark matter forcibly entered the person's body through their mouth and nose and they struggled to breathe as they fell to the ground. "NO! What happened?!" Sophia screamed as she began to panic. "There is no way that you can save them. It is only vision which means that these events have already taken place." Yara explained as Sophia stood beside her. 

"Someone at your school has touched the Crystal and now possesses Damien Valskar's powers. You and your friends have to stop him before they get completely possessed by Damien himself. Unlike me, Damien managed to transfer his entire being into the Crystal." Yara stated. "What happens if Damien fully takes over?" Sophia asked nervously. "Your entire world will fall. He will turn every single human being to the dark side. He wants to use your realm to create his utopia, he wants to rule on a larger scale than he did before." Yara said.

 "There's no way that we can beat him. Finn and I are the only ones with our powers." Sophia replied. "Tell your friends to have patience. Their powers will come soon. All I'm asking is for you all to be ready for when he strikes." Yara said. "And if  we aren't?" Sophia asked. "Then, I have an alternative. But, it could possibly give me a bad reputation amongst the rest of the council in the Spirit Realm. I could even be banished." Yara sighed. "The alternative requires for you to use a potion made by a cult that practices an art even worse than necromancy, Chaos Magic. It's called Helion's Touch. That could kill Damien and his cult within an instant." She explained. 

"We're not risking your status with the council, Yara. You've done more enough for us." Sophia reassured her. "Okay, then tell your friends to be ready. We don't how hard Damien's willing to strike to get his hands on the Crystal." Yara ordered. With a wave of her hand, Yara opened a portal and faced Sophia. "The council and I will do everything that we can to protect you. Now, of you go." She said.

 Sophia stepped into the portal and instantly jolted awake. She was finally back in Nadia's room. She quickly got under her sleeping bag and went to find Nadia. "Nadia?" She called out as speedily walked out of the bedroom. She found Nadia sitting with her parents at the table having breakfast. "Nadia, there you are!" Sophia sighed in relief. "Hey, Soph! Are you ready to see Drake today?" She asked with a smirk. "Oh yeah, that's right! Today is Saturday!" Dean exclaimed. "Did you call Finn and let him know that we'll be there?" Alba asked. "Yep!" Nadia smiled. Sophia tried to call Nadia's name again, but Dean interrupted. 

"So, are you two doing okay? I mean, you and Finn?" He asked as he eat his breakfast. "We're doing okay, I guess. But I think things between us might be a lot better now that he's finally finished with Marie. I followed your advice and told him that I should be his priority if we're gonna be dating." Nadia stated. "Nadia!" Sophia raised her voice and she started to grit her teeth. 

Nadia, Dean, and Alba snapped their heads to look at Sophia. "Can I please talk you? In your room? NOW?" Sophia asked sharply as she smiled forcibly at her. "Okay?" Nadia said in confusion as she slowly stood up from the kitchen table and followed Sophia to her room. "Shut the door behind you." Sophia said as she began to pace. Nadia closed the door as she looked at Sophia in concern. "Um.....Sophie? What's up with yo-?"

"Nadia, we have a big problem! A huge problem!" Sophia whispered in a panicked voice. "Whoa, Sophie! What's the problem?" Nadia asked as she looked at Sophia's demeanor. "Someone else touched the Crystal besides us and now we have an evil sorcerer out there that wants to kill us!" Sophia squealed. Nadia's eyes widened in fear as she processed Sophia's statement. "Wait, how do you know know for sure?! Did Yara-"

"Yes! Yara visited me in my dreams last night and told me that we're all in danger! Like "There's a very high possibility that we could all die"!" Sophia said in a shaky voice as she continued to pace. "Do you know who touched it?" Nadia asked. "No! The freaking vision that she showed me was too blurry. I couldn't make out their face. But, it was definitely someone at Andel Falls. They touched it and surprisingly put it back in Drake's bag right before we got there to look for it on the field." Sophia crossed her arms. "Yeah, that is a little odd. Why didn't they just take the Crystal after that?" Nadia mumbled as her knit in confusion. "Listen, Nadia. We can worry about that later after we call the boys and Donna and tell them what just happened. Besides, we'll all be at Finn's house tonight. So we can talk then." Sophia sighed. "Right. We'll talk about it then." Nadia said as she sat on the bed. They both sat in complete silence as they processed what just happened.

....

Finn tosses and turns in his bed as he whispers inaudible things in his sleep while he dreams. Images flash in his mind. Images involving the cult, Yara, and the crystal. "Damien is coming." A familiar voice whispers to him. "You have to stop him.......The Crystal is in danger." They say. Wake up. The ring burns against his finger and he immediately wakes up with a shout. The bedroom is eerily quiet as he breathes heavily. "What the heck?!" He mumbles under his breath as he throws off of his covers and gets out of his bed with caution. He jumps as his alarm clock starts to ring and turns it off with groan. "Jesus Christ." He exhales. 

But as he turns around he screams as the top of his lungs. "Hello, Finn." Yara said as she appeared in front of him. "Yara, what are you doing here?!" Finn hissed. "I'm here to give you a warning! Someone at your university has touched the Crystal." She said. "What?!" He shouted. "Not so loud! Your family is sleeping!" She ordered. "You don't want them to come in and see you talking to your wall, do you?" She said. "Wait, they won't be able to see you?" Finn asked. The only reason you can see me is because your wearing the ring." She explained. "But, that's not what I came here to tell you!" She hissed. 

"Whoever touched that Crystal after you and your friends has unleashed Damien Valskar's powers. The longer he stays in the host's body the more powerful he gets. Before this all over, your friend might not be themselves anymore, Damien will eventually take over their body entirely." She said. "So, you want us to defeat Damien so that we can save the host and destroy his powers?" Finn asked. "That would be the best way, if we knew who we already knew who the host was." She sighed. "And if we all had our powers." Finn added. "But, as I told Sophia earlier, I do have an alternative. It would definitely guarantee your victory but, I could lose my status with the council and there's a small chance that I could be banished from the Spirit Realm." She muttered shamefully. 

"We'll do whatever we can here, so that can keep your status. We're not letting you risk everything for us." He said as he shook his head. "I appreciate that." Yara smiled. "But, I think it should at least be something to think about, for when Damien is too powerful." She continued. "Alright." He said. "I'm being called upon by council. I'll have to leave you and Sophia in charge for a few days while I meet with them." She says. "You can count on us." Finn gave her a nod followed by a small smile. Yara disappeared and Finn sighed as he plopped onto his bed. "This is really bad." He muttered to himself. 

Hours later, Finn and his family are setting up the house for Saturday Game Night, when the doorbell rings. "Lonnie, could you go get the door, please?" Lucy called out as she busily cooked. Lonnie jogs to the door and opens it. "Drake, Donna! What's up guys?" Lonnie greets them with a hug as they enter, while Charlie is still getting something from his car. "Hey, Ma! I'm going outside to help Charlie, alright?" He calls out to her as he heads out. "Alright, hun!" She says. 

Lonnie goes outside and Charlie looks up from the trunk of his car. "Lon! Long time no see, man!" Charlie stops what he's doing and fist bumps Lonnie. "How've you been? Charlie asked. "I'm doing pretty good." Lonnie smirked. "I mean, I would you would be!" Charlie chuckled. "How are you making in the pros, anyway?" He continued. "About twenty-three thousand." Lonnie shrugged. "Wait, are we talking about your salary?!" Charlie's mouth hung open in shock. Lonnie nodded with an amused smirk. 

"Dude, you guys get PAID!" Charlie exclaimed as Lonnie laughed. "I'm sure scientists get paid too, Charlie."Lonnie shook his head as he help Charlie bring in the snacks. "I mean, I wouldn't really know! I was just the intern!" He chuckled. "Don't worry, man. Soon enough, you'll be living it up with Donna in an expensive house along with your future children." He says with a smirk. "Well, I definitely wouldn't  sy no to that!" Charile repiles as they walk inside.

As Lonnie and Charlie come inside the house, Finn finally comes jogging down the stairs. He swiftly entered the kitchen to see Lucy, Fred and Drake talking to each other.

"Well, don't you look nice!" Lucy exclaimed as she smiled at Finn, who was wearing a dark green knitted sweater with a white dress shirt underneath, black pants and dress shoes. "Thanks." Finn said awkwardly as Lucy walked towards him. "Dad, why can't I just wear the sweater? This shirt makes it at least ten times hotter in here!" Finn complained as Lucy fixed his collar. "I'm showing you how to dress properly for special occasions. The twins did it too." Fred stated as he took a sip of his soda.

"Oh dear! Honey, you are a bit sweaty." Lucy said as she looked at Finn in concern. "Mom, its fine. If Dad  wants me to dress like this then I will." Finn sighs. "Well, hopefully your father can make an exception for tonight." Lucy subtly glared at Fred as he shrugged. "Sweetie, go change into something a little more....casual. It's only game night!" Lucy giggled as she takes a platter of finger food and heads to the living room.

"Drake, can I  talk to you for a sec?" Finn gestures up the stairs. "Sure man." He answered with a nod as he followed Finn up the stairs. "Alright, I'll see you two in a few." Fred called out to them. "Alright, Fred. Oh, and don't forget about the Rams game tonight!" Drake smiled. "Oh, definitely! I'm still rooting for the Bulls, though." Fred smirked as he walked out. "You know I was right for calling you an oldie, you're so set in your ways!" Drake said playfully as he heard Fred laugh at him.

"Dude, are you coming or what?" Finn said with his arms crossed. "What? I'm coming!" Drake says defensively as he catches up to Finn.

Finn and Drake enter Finn's bedroom and Drake closes the door behind him.  "Okay, we have a serious problem." Finn said quickly as he shook his head. "Yeah I know. I talked to Sophie earlier." Drake stated as he rubbed his face in frustration. "What are we gonna do?!" Drake groaned as he sat on Finn's bed. 

As Finn began to speak, he took off his sweater along with his dress shirt that was dampened with sweat. He threw it on the floor and quickly searched for something else to wear. "Look, we just have to wait until Nadia and Soph get here. Then we can all come up with a plan to take Damien down." He said as he looked through his drawers and huffed. "Where is that stupid thing?!" Finn asked himself as he searched harder. "Let me guess, you're looking for your football hoodie?" Drake chuckled. 

"Yeah, I know I put it in one of these drawers." Finn said as he smelled one of his shirts and threw it over his shoulder. "Third drawer form the left." Drake said instantly. Finn snapped his head towards him. "How do you know that?" Finn asked. "What? I saw you put it in there the other day. Call it a lucky guess." Drake shrugged. 

Finn opened the drawer and instantly took out the hoodie. "Man, you're a lifesaver." Finn  says as he slips the hoodie on. "Glad you think so." Drake winked. Just then, the doorbell rang and Fin and Drake looked at each other. "It might be Nadia and Sophie." Drake shrugged. They both walk downstairs as Lonnie's girlfriend, Pia opens the door. "Oh my gosh, Sophie?!" Pia says in shock. "Pia!" Sophia instantly hugs Pia. "I haven't seen you in forever. How have you been?" Pia asked I've been good! She says with a smile.

Pia turns from Sophia and says hello to Nadia, Dean and Alba. As Pia invites them in, Finn comes to the door and greets Nadia's parents as they enter the house. He turns to Nadia and Sophia, bringing his voice down to a whisper. " We have about 20 minutes before we start game night, so we can all meet in my room to talk about the Crystal." He said as he put his hands in the pouch of his hoodie. "Alright, I'm going to head in and talk to Drake and Donna." Sophia stated as she walked inside, leaving Finn and Nadia alone.

"Hey!" Finn said happily. "Hey." Nadia replied nervously. "I know that this has probably been a day for you." Finn says with a chuckle. "Yeah, it's been quite the day for all of us." Nadia sighed. "Especially, because of what we found out about the Crystal." She continued. "But aside from that, I just want to go in and have fun with your family. That's if they actually end up liking me." Nadia laughs nervously.

Finn looks at Nadia sympathetically and gently takes her hand. "Stop worrying so much, okay? He began. They're going to love you. Just be who always are." He said. Nadia gave him a small smile. "Okay, I'll just be myself then." She gulped. "So are you ready to go in?" Finn asked. "I'm as ready as I'll ever be." Nadia said in a shaky voice.

The two of them walk inside of the house to find everyone mingling. Oh, there he is! Lucy said as she walked towards Finn and Nadia, with the Leslie and Lonnie following after her. "Well, aren't you just gorgeous?" Lucy compliments Nadia. "Thanks, Mrs. Fitzgerald." Nadia giggled.  "Aren't you going to introduce us?" Leslie said with a smile.

"Oh yeah! Of course!" Finn said quickly. "Mom, Leslie, Lonnie, this is Nadia." He says as he smiles at her and interwines his fingers with Nadia's.

"We're dating."
