They all stand around listening to the tapes Tim and Gar found.
"A dump truck or two?"
"Mmm."
"Some cowboy spurs and a little vest?"
"I think he's got his heart set on a girl."
Tim stopped the recording.
"She was like Angela, my mother," Rachel said.
Dick says, "Looks like you have a sister."
"Wait, there's a twist," Tim says starting the recording again.
They hear groaning in pain, and a few screams.
"Wait, wait."
"It's a boy. Sorry, May."
"Give me my baby!"
"The prophecy is well known. The chosen one must be a girl."
"The prophecy is wrong. Give him back! I will hunt you!"
"Muzzle her."
She groans in pain and screams.
Cassie gives a look to Dick and nods her head at Sebastian and then to Rachel. He gives her a small nod.
"You were the one they were waiting for. The one in the prophecy," Dick says.
Rachel looks appalled, "All those years, just waiting for me and my mom."
Tim says, "You should listen to the rest." He presses play again.
"Remove the muzzle. Stand back."
They hear a gasp. "You don't need to worry. I have nothing but love in my heart. Love for my son. He's my strength."
"You're love just wasn't enough to make the prophet."
"My son is the prophet. But he needs time to grow."
"Renounce this blasphemy. And you can go back and live with the others."
"He will ascend under the blood moon to join his father. His power will have no equal. Together they will take the world."
"As you wish."
They hear a snake hissing.
"Sebastian. Sebastian. Sebastian."
"That's my name. Why did she say my name?"
"Do you have the mark?" Rachel asks.
"What?"
Rachel moves her jacket, "Like this."
Sebastian moves his own jacket and shirt, revealing the same mark as Rachel.
Kory says, "He's the one from the children's book who makes the hole in the sky. It's part of their prophecy."
"We need to leave, now," Cassie says, she taps her fingers rapidly, suddenly feeling a rush of fear.
Dick quickly grabs her hand and pulls her closer.
"No, no, no, no." Sebastian backs away from Kory. "I don't know anything about any holes or... or any prophecy. I'm not anyone."
