eyes.
    Frankie suddenly went stiff.  She doubled over clutching the dress in her tight fists.
    Jazz was on the spot, holding her, “What is it, Frankie— what?”
    Frankie couldn’t speak, but she dropped the cocktail dress and held onto Jazz as her body began to shake and tremble. She would have collapsed to the floor had Jazz not held her up and maneuvered her to a nearby chair, where Jazz bent in on her knees and held Frankie steady.
    Frankie struggled with herself until she got control and looked into Jazz’s eyes. “It is Pestale! Jazz, I saw something horrible. It…it hasn’t happened yet, but it will, it will .” She knew she sounded frantic, because it was how she felt. It was going to happen all over again. Pestale would come and kill and maim and they would see death everywhere.
    Life, all life would be in jeopardy.
    She stared at Jazz, “I saw him…in a long dark room and he was laughing. Jazz, he is at it again. He hasn’t given up as we thought. I could sense it all, but I couldn’t see anything else. I couldn’t see what he was doing…but he was grinning and he is more wicked minded than ever.”
    “Frankie, you know your visions aren’t always accurate. Sometimes they are just possibilities and fate comes along and changes it all.”
    “I know, I know, but this…Jazz, it was a flash of darkness and I heard a voice I have never heard before.”
    “A voice?” Jazz looked concerned.
    Frankie’s eyes widened as she spoke, “The most powerful inhuman, otherworldly voice. It seemed to soak up all the air and boomed over all the land…”
    “Male?”
    “Very, yet oddly so and it echoed in upon itself. I could hear it in my head and in my ears,” Frankie nodded vigorously. “He kept saying, darkness, darkness, darkness. Just that and nothing else.”
    Jazz looked thoughtful but simply hugged and reassured her. “Okay, we know now we have to be on the alert. If your vision is correct and Pestale is planning something, we will get word to the Queen and perhaps she can get word to Crystal.  But not tonight!” Jazz smiled at her. “Blink on the dress sweetie, let’s have a look.”
    Frankie did just that as she did a little twirl, “Oh, Jazz…ye think of everything. I love ye.”
    Jazz held her a moment and said, as she set her apart, “You beauty you!”  She sighed, “You have so much ahead of you, Frankie, but now what you have to do, is go downstairs to your da, and give him a little spin so he can see that his lovely daughter is quite a grown up lady, then go and have a good time.” Jazz beamed as she moved to the door and opened it wide. “I know you think your da is throwing this prince at you, and you are not interested, but no one is forcing you into anything. Just go and do the polite thing. Find a way to enjoy yourself and make your father smile. In the end, you will only date the guys …” Jazz leaned into her. “You noted that was plural?” She laughed and did not wait for a response, “ the guys, you personally find suitable. Right?”
    Frankie hugged her fiercely and repeated, “I love ye, Jazmine Decker.”
    “Aye, as do I ,” said Trevor who stepped inside and hugged his mate and gave Frankie a grin with an accompanying soft whistle. “Our girl is quite the beauty, eh Jazmine Decker? She will break hearts, won’t she?”
    “Oh, I hope not,” Frankie said, her smile vanishing ludicrously.
    Trevor and Jazz laughed in unison, “It is just a saying, meaning, all eyes will be on you.” Jazz said and pushed her toward the door. “Now, go on…your da is waiting.”
    “Is he? Well then, there is just one thing I need to do…just to let off some steam, Jazz m’darlin’,” Frankie said with a mischievous laugh.
    A moment later, outside and invisible to all but other Fae, dressed to the nines, Frankie spread her wings and took flight.
