We arrived back in LA a few days ago. Since then we haven't been doing much, just taking some time to chill out. Corey rang his mom and we found out she used to practice magic with my mom, but the question still remains, how did my mom and Corey's know each other? Corey's mom also gave up magic after my mom got sick.

The house and I have decided to livestream, I'm sat on the back of the couch eating dry cereal
"When will you post a new video on the duo channel?" Colby reads off his phone
"We're actually in the middle of filming for the second origin, however it's not as straightforward as our other investigations so we probably won't post for a while" Sam says
"Yeah. We don't want to ruin the series so we will keep quiet" Colby smiles
"This one is over a time period so when we finally post you will see time stamps and dates to get an idea of how long it took for us to figure everything out" Corey says
"The only this we will say is that this series's focus more on Rose and Corey" Jake adds. The boys carry on talking to the Colby's phone on the livestream while I start thinking about all of the things that are happening. I soon come to figure something out
"Oh my god" I gasp
"What?" all the boys say at the same time looking at me
"Why didn't I think of this before?" I frown
"Babe what's wrong?"
"I think I just figured something out" I jump off the back of the couch and begin to make my way upstairs. I hear Sam say he's going to get the camera and Colby turns off the livestream.

I run up the stairs with Sam following me. He runs into his room getting his camera while I'm looking around mine and Colby's room
"What are you looking for?" Sam asks
"Where did I put my moms diaries and notes?"
"I thought you said you were putting them in the garage" Sam looks confused
"No I left them in the suitcase. I thought I brought them up here" I run back down the stairs "do you guys remember where I put all of the books, diaries and notes?" I ask all the boys
"I moved them into the garage, why?" Colby asks, but before I answer him I run off into the garage and see the suitcase on the ping pong table. I hear everyone else enter the room as I'm unzipping the suitcase
"You going to tell us what's going on?" Sam asks still holding the camera
"Look" I pick up one of the notes from my mom and place it down in front of everyone "Corey's mom said that if we play the ouija board then the bags won't protect us. Think about it. An ouija board turns up at my old apartment twice after I touch one. What if I make up some protection bags and we all just don't touch another board we my be more protected"
"Your mom said it was a demon right?" Corey asks
"Yeah"
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Corey sighs
"I hate to say it, but I think so"
"So you know know the name of the demon?" Sam asks. I nod my head slowly and bit my bottom lip
"Zozo" both Corey and I say at the same time
"The demon of the ouija board" I sigh
"It's said that he can attach himself to you or the people you love" Corey finishes
"So what your getting at is, when you and Corey played the ouija board it attached itself to you both?" Jake asks confused
"Kinda, I think it goes back further. I mean my mom and Corey's mom knew each other. Remember how Tiff said we all share the same fate or guardian?"
"If someone looses their fate and or guardians then they are left vulnerable to evil spirits" Jake replies
"But we all have our fate right?" Corey is the one to now look confused
"Yes, but what if this has to do with my dad some how?" I ask
"What do you mean?" I look over to Sam
"I just have this feeling that maybe my dad could have been the cause of all of this"
"How would we find out if that's true?" Colby asks
"I don't know, but maybe the origin of all of this isn't in New York like we thought. I mean come on we still don't know how my mom and Corey's mom knew each other. Zozo wants more than Corey and I now, your all involved, your friends and your family. We need to figure this out soon"
"Ok so where should we start Rose?" Jake asks
"I guess we start with what we have. My moms diaries"
"Let's just put them in order tonight, we need a break from this" Sam says then puts down the camera.

Later that night we all cuddle up on the couch with blankets ready to watch a film
"What shall we watch?" Colby asks holding the remote in his hand
"Woman in black" Clare says next to me
"No chance" I shake my head
"I'm old enough to watch it" she argues
"Yeah I know, that's not the issue. We will not be watching a horror film until we are out of the one we are living" I say making the boys laugh and Clare rolls her eyes
"How about Shrek?" Jake asks and we all agree. I end up falling asleep while snuggled into Colby

Dream
I'm in a room that's just white, I look around and see my mom, Rhys and Fate walking towards me. I know I'm in a dream, in the past I have felt panicked but right now I feel safe and relaxed
"Hi" I say
"Hello darling. Your doing well so far and your on the right tracks about this having to do with your dad" my mom tells me
"Why can't you just tell me how to get rid of this demon?" I ask feeling a little confused. This time is fate that talks to me
"Because you've got to be the one to figure it out. If we tell you he will know and the ritual at the end won't work, but we can guide you through it"
"Rose we have to go, we love you" Rhys says before fading away.
