When the trio came I told them my vision and they promised to be extra careful. LJ asked me to repeat what I had seen. He then reset my lock. Now it locks the moment the door closes. A key is needed to open whether the person is on the inside or outside. Jake called in a favor and moved to our neighborhood. He is an only child so he had no one to help with Amy. They set up security cameras so I can keep an eye on Amy. Jake got me a pet dog Wolfe so he can help me cope with my anxiety attacks. I asked Sven to walk around the street around the time Amy comes home so she is less likely to be nabbed. He got his friend Rogers and Joanne to help too.
I turned one of the rooms into a art room where I paint my frustrations away. Amy has a spare keys so she would use it to get in. Months later the day arrived when the kidnappers arrived to get Amy. I rescued her as per the vision and Amy got me a few blood bags. It took her several trips. Wolfe sat next to me in the hopes of calming me down. When I fully healed I heard a banging on the door. I asked who it was and the man said that he was Amy's uncle. I said, "Amy's parents are only children so nice try" he kicked the door in frustration. Thankfully the door was seriously thick so he hurt himself. Amy called her father to let him know that she was almost kidnapped today. She mentioned that the man is outside trying to get in. He said that he is on his way.
LJ and Jake arrived and a shootout commenced. The sound of gunfire went for an hour. The other officers came and the kidnappers were apprehended. LJ said, "I can't be a cop anymore. I need to find myself another job." I smiled as Amy hugged her father. I joked, "How about a food truck. Find one type of food you're good at and sell it. You can work in your own schedule. There are soldiers who are finding it therapeutic to cook. Rally them up and get started." Jake chuckled, "LJ rented the condo. He was behind rent and he was evicted. Now he lives with me. We don't have much. So I don't think it would work even if we put all the money we have" I smiled, "I can sponsor it. I get reward money for finding idiots that try to disturb the peace. I can give you a million. Would that be enough. You can start a support group as well so that they don't feel alone." LJ was surprised, "You get paid for your service?" I winked, "Obviously I get paid. I don't do it for free. So yes or no"
Both of them finished their case work and handed in their resignation. They found a few who were looking for jobs. I paid for it and they went to work. They didn't know where to start so I recommended a few YouTube videos. There are so many tutorials and they got started. As the truck got recognition and respect. Other people were drawn towards the truck too. Soon there were more than a dozen trucks with men and women working twenty four hours and seven days a week. There was meetings to help cope with PTSD, anxiety and even for suicide prevention. Some had rising medical bills which I cleared. Others had emotional baggage that the support group help alleviate.
There was an attack on an ancient vampiric tomb. People had blasted the place in the hopes of treasure. What they got was acid sprayed on them. The tomb was surrounded by layer of compressed acid. People got severely burned. So the mythical creatures came to reseal the tomb. A few vampires were interested in him since he rumored have an amulet allowing him to go out in daylight without harm. I visited the tomb and saw the floor was littered with jewelry and skeletons. Weapons were also dotted here and there. The sarcophagus was already open. The vampires were removing his necklace assuming it is the one in question.
I politely asked for the ring. Which the vampire gave without hesitation. The ring was made of gold with a red stone in the middle. The ring was made from a thin wire that twisted and braided around several times for re-enforcement. The gold wire goes over the stone horizontally twice. I wore the ring and got out as the other mythical creatures came. A Woge, Talsen, Draconian and Finch. Talsen is an elf like creature that feeds off suppressed desires. Draconian is a human like creature that feeds off energy. Finch is a type of goblin. They are good at construction. This was one of the tombs they were commissioned to work originally. So this was just a touchup. The vampires had to handover whatever they had taken. I gave back the ring and the Finch said, "The ring chose you so you can't put it back"
I came back home and put the ring in my jewelry box. LJ asked about my trip as Jake sat down to help Amy with her homework. I told him that it is about the tomb that's all over the news. He asked me if I got anything. I told, "Finch said The ring chose me. The tomb belongs to a vampire that can go out in sunlight. He had a talisman that helped him withstand the blistering hot sun. If I have the talisman then it is most likely to be confiscated so more worthy can use it." LJ said, "Maybe the ring is the talisman but you're right you'll need to be careful or that ring will be snatched." I asked at the progress of his food truck he said that the trucks are doing good.
Wolfe sat by my side as I drew a picture of a woman I had never met a day in my life. She is a someone I had been sketching for unknown reasons. She had a heart shaped face with shoulder length hair. A thin nose with bee stung lips. High cheekbones and almond eyes. I finally sent an email and Gerard was at my house along with the high table. It's what I called the council of light and dark. It turns out that this was Vanya. The one who allegedly stayed neutral. She finally chose a side and it was darkness. She wants to use the hollow because she had a selfish desire for immortality that stripped her of her abilities. The spell involved killing a child. She assumes the hollow or the blood chalice can help her restore her gifts. She needs someone who has the ability to see the future to do it. She is coming for me.
Dar said that he will handle her if she should come here. The hollow is once again been hexed to some unknown place in the world where nobody can find it. The blood chalice is also on the vanish list. After three days of deliberation I told them her exact location. She gave them the slip as she injured several from both sides. Yu and Wu were yelling over the phone before they thanked me for my help. Both sides assigned people to protect me. They also wanted me to keep tabs on her. Which I did. I found out that she is going to New Orleans, Louisiana. Practically everyone converged to stop her. Like I said she is a slippery eel. She managed to escape. I asked them to use something to incapacitate her like a taser. They said that they don't use human things since it cramped their style. They promised to get her but told Dar that he should arm me.
The light side and dark side gave me a few things in addition to money. A large tin of white cream. The light side promised me that lathering my body with it would help me walk through walls. They also gave me an invisibility cloak. A pair of glasses that let me see people for who they actually are. They also gave me a few candles that can transport me anywhere when I light the wick. The dark side gave me a half length ornate mirror. They said it was a two way mirror so I can warn them should she arrive. An hourglass with sand that can teleport me to anywhere and back again. The sand goes back in the glass once it has done it's job. They willingly gave it to me so I own it officially. Only I can use it. Should anyone else try they will be sucked into the hourglass and killed. Other gifts include a few vials of varying potions that will allow me to stun her. A potion that allows me to disguise myself. Also a compass that points to what I desire. I thanked them for their gifts as they left for home.
