Lightning cracked across the dark sky and three cloaked figures made their way into the small building. The hard patter of rain echoed in the bleak room as the three figures took off their cloaks and began cleaning the place. The first one, a girl with bleached blonde hair, scoffed. "Doyle, I thought you said the new recruits would be here before us! I don't want to start the meeting before they get here." The second figure, a boy with raven black hair, frowned. "They said they'd be here, Sum. I'm sure they'll be here soon, it's pouring pretty bad out there, and we had trouble finding this place." The third figure, a girl with dyed pink hair, laughed. "That's because you led us here, Doyle! We would've gotten here faster if you had just given me the map!" Doyle proceeded to bicker with the second girl.

The first figure, Summer, whistled, signalling the two to stop fighting and look at her. "Quill, I trusted Doyle with the directions, so you can stop criticizing him." Quill immediately shut her mouth and bowed to her leader. "I'm sorry, Miss. My dear apologies." Summer smiled. "It's fine, don't worry about it."

Suddenly the lights above the three people flickered on. Summer turned around, her eyes flashing. Quill crouched down, her right hand barely hovering over her staff. Doyle grabbed his dagger, and growled. The trespasser smirked. "Now, baby, that's no way to treat your fiance." Summer scowled.

"What are you doing here, Trevor? You were banned after almost killing one of the chosen ones, but not the other. Your services are no longer needed," Quill hissed. Trevor flashed a smile. "Now, Quilly, you should definitely know the Council Code and what it clearly states in it. Once a member, always until death comes knocking at your door." Quill snarled, her staff glowing brighter. Trevor laughed. "Oh, are you going to use your 'Egyptian Magic' on me? I wonder what your grandfather would have to say about what you've become." Summer stepped in between the fight. "Trevor, that's enough. Quill is our most prized magician, and you know it." Doyle stepped up beside his leader, the dagger clearly visible in her hand.

Trevor smiled, and lightning flashed behind him. "But whose to say she'll always be there for you. I bet she hasn't even told you what happened to her when I left the group?" Summer and Doyle whipped around, looking at their now pale companion. "Haven't you always wondered why her left arm is bandaged?" Her friends trailed their eyes to Quill's left side, curiosity filling them to the brim of desperation. Trevor faked a look of shock. "You mean, you've been trusting someone with Apophis' scar?" Quill turned red with anger as she shouted, "A'max!" A fiery ball exploded from her staff and was shot straight at Trevor. He chuckled.

"Now Quill, don't use up your energy before I come back. I still want you to be alive when we see each other again." He held up his hand, and bright hieroglyphics appeared as they swallowed up Quill's spell. The said girl turned pale quickly again, and her knees buckled, making her collapse onto the floor. Trevor puffed out some air to remove the bangs from his face, and he walked up to Summer. Hurt and anger filled her eyes as he got closer. "What did you do to her?" She yelled at him.

He smiled, and kissed Summer on the lips. "Now there, that's no way to talk to your fiance, baby girl. And who's to say that I was the one who did it to her?" Trevor said as he backed away and dissolved into the shadows. Summer stood frozen in place while Doyle ran to Quill and made sure she was alright. "Sum, we need to go see the priestess! I can't feel Quill's heartbeat!"

But his words only echoed through the now dark again building as his leader crumpled to the ground.

AHHHH! Finally finished! I'm slightly proud of this!

So I still need some council members, and next chapter will be when the alternates come in! If you want to make a character, please tell me!

Also, the main reason why this is coming out the day after I said it'd come out is because 1) I (Tori) had a band concert and basketball practice 2) Shay was writing her applications 3) Hailey's still getting used to her new school.

Also, I caught the stomach bug ;n; A lot of people have had it in my school, and they gave it to me. Anyway, hope you like this prologue!
