*Two Month's Later. May 2nd, 2012*

It's been a wild two months in New York, the demon front was quiet, and I hadn't an attack, but the sisters had a few but nothing major. As for my experience in New York, it was going great, made friends at work, Beth and Mason and others that work there. As for being a witch, I hadn't used my powers for any demons or anything, besides the odd orbing things and back home to visit the sister's.

I just finished taking orders from a family that was sitting at a table, before handing the slip to the chef, so he could make food. Mason came out of the kitchen holding a tray of drinks, passing by me, he quickly placed the drink down before rushing over to me in a hurry.

"Jess. Can I ask you something?" He asked, urgently. His eyes pleading, over the months we had bonded as friends, so we always had something to ask one another.

"My parents are going to Germany for this science thing, and they've asked me to go, but I don't want to go alone. So, I was wondering if you would come with me on a date?" He gives me a nervous smile, his blue eyes pleading for me to say yes. I mean I could say no, but what type of friend would I be if I said no.

I gave him a quick nod of the head. "Sure, I would love too," I smiled at him, as he looked grateful for me saying yes. "When do we leave?" I quickly asked, before he went to do another job.

"Tonight, so I'll pick you up at 6. Go to the airport. Don't worry you don't need a passport, because my parents have sent a private jet," he rushed out as he walked away to attend to some customers. I was speechless to the private jet part, I've never been in one or even on a plane, because I orb everywhere. This was going to be a long shift.

.....................................

As the day went on, the time neared. I left early from my shift, getting Beth to cover for me. I packed everything I thought I needed, he said it was a Gala so that suggests to me that it was fancy, so I pulled the whole stop out. I changed into something comfortable for the flight. The suitcase was packed, and I looked at the clock that hung above the stove in the kitchen, seeing that it was 5:55 PM. I quickly rolled the suitcase to the door, and opened it, making my way out, locking the door behind me.

I walk down the steps of the building, waiting on the sidewalk for like a few seconds, seeing a black posh car pull up in front of me. As it was parked, Mason jumped out from the back and came to my side, smiling at me. Before grabbing my suitcase and going to the trunk of the car, and placing it in, before the drive opened the door for me, and I got in. He also closed the door for me. Wow, so posh.

Then Mason jumped back into his side, I looked at him weirdly like this is way overboard for him. The car jerked forward and we began our way to the airport.

"You have a personal driver?" I asked dumbfounded by his sudden upgrade.

"Yeah, Ben has been the family driver for a while," He states, looking at Ben in the rear-view mirror for a second, before turning his gaze back to me. Ben was in his late forties, wrinkles all over his face, but he had a kind heart, I could just tell.

"So, are you rich?" I asked, it was playing on my mind since he told me about the private jet. He lets out a chuckle, looking down at his hands before meeting my gaze.

"Hmm, I say so. I don't tell many people, just the ones I want to impress," He grins at me, I rolled my eyes at him.

"I like the poor, waiter you better," I smiled at him, staring out of the black tinted window, as I could feel his eyes burning into the side of my head, I could feel him smile at my comment.

*May 3rd*

The private jet was amazing, there was food, champagne all of it. The flight over all was long, like 14 hours long, so we had arrived in Stuttgart, Germany as the day was ending and night was falling upon us. Luckily, the car drive to the hotel wasn't long, it was a five-star hotel, with luxury suites. I couldn't believe that this was happening right now, but it was, it was real. I had my luxury next to Mason, we needed to hurry to get change, as his parents would meet us there.

I was dressed, my black hair in a ponytail, a simple style of makeup on my face, as I didn't want to stand too out. I wore a red dress that fitted perfectly around my figure. Silver earrings dangled from my earlobes. I wore simple red high heels as the dress was floor length long. I looked in the mirror seeing how stunning I looked right now.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the hotel door. I quickly went to the door and pulled it open to see Mason in a nice simple tuxedo, fiddling with his fingers looking down at them.

As he railed his head to meet my gaze, his eyes widened with surprise, as he stared at me with a slightly open mouth. He took a few seconds to look over my dress, his eyes searching all of my body, from head to toe. He came out of this stunned trance after a few seconds, straightening up, before he held his arm out for me to take. I smiled at him before taking it, my hand going under his arm, resting on his forehead, as he led the way.

"You look stunning tonight," he whispers in a husky voice, as I giggle at his comment, going a bit red in the face. He chuckled before leading us to the car that was waiting to take us to the Gala. I was so excited, and I couldn't wait.

But at the pit of my stomach, was a bad feeling, like something bad was going to happen. I was blaming it on the nerves, and that I was going to a famous social event. So, I pushed the feeling down, and ignored it.

.......................................

We arrive at the Gala on time, as Mason quickly jumps out and goes to my side to open the door for me. What a gentleman he is. I cock one leg out, as he offers his hand to me for help, so I gladly took it, before cocking the other leg out, and my heels touching the pavement. As I stood up from the car seat. Camera's began to flash our way, as we made it down the red carpet, my hand linking under an arm, walking down carpet, smiling at the camera's. We entered the building, as people wandered around, grabbing champagne glasses from waiter's from the trays offered to the guests.

I looked around the amazing place, as I was stunned at the view. An artefact stood in the middle of the Gala, a double horse head at either side of the table in the middle. The horse's had cracked all over the figure's. We walked forward as more people started to enter the building. A waiter came over to us and offered us a glass of champagne, we each took one and took a little sip, as we looked for Mason's parents.

"So many fancy people," I state to Mason, as I took a sip of my drink. He looks around the room as he stares at everyone before humming in agreement.

Suddenly, people started to gather around a small stage, as the scientist was about to start his speech. Mason and I gather, at the side of the stage, looking upon the scientist as he began talking. Mason's parents coming from behind, greeting their son and me. They were lovely people, they seemed delighted that Mason had brought a friend to a Gala.

The speech began, and the German scientist spoke in German, because I was half-whitelighter I could understand what he was saying very clearly, and he made some excellent points. The more he spoke, the more the dread in the pit of my stomach grew. Chills ran down my spine, as I looked around the room, it was normal. People staring at the scientist as he spoke, nothing bad was going to happen.

Suddenly, the guests gasp from where they stood, as I quickly turn back around to see a man with a glowing staff, coming for the scientist. His hair was shoulder length, as he approached the man, and grabbed him by the back of the neck, dragging the scientist to the middle of the artefact. Before I could react, Mason grabs me and pulls us towards the exit, but it was blocked by the guests. Everyone watches shocked, as the madman flips him over in the air, and onto the stone table. We both turn around to watch, the man pulls out a device that he jerks down, and a claw-like thing comes out, it starts to glow blue.

Mason let go of my grip and watched in shock as everyone else did, but my feeling was rushing over me and it wasn't good. I quickly look around to see everyone staring at the man, scared and frightened. Should I use my powers here, what about exposure, it was too high. But an innocent life was going to be hurt or even worse taken.

Without thinking, I flick both of my hands out to the man, and as everyone became frozen at the scene. I quickly looked around to see that everyone was frozen, even Mason. But as I looked back at the man, he was adjusting through my freeze, and seconds later he was back to normal. My eyes widened with fear as he looked around surprised to see everyone frozen, but he quickly met my gaze. He gave me a wicked smile. Shit! I quickly flicked my hands again at him and he froze, but a second later he began adjusting again, but quicker.

Oh God! I quickly waved my hand around, and the whole room became unfrozen, and people started to stare again. I could feel Mason shift at my side, as the madman looked at me, Mason quickly holding onto my arm, ready to run if needed. The device started to spin it's blades, and he plunged it into the right eye of the scientist, not giving anyone a warning.

People screamed then started to run for the door, Mason protectively grabbing me along to the exit. Along with the rest.

Boy this isn't good...
