I called out to him. I heard nothing but deep rumbling in the Earth beneath my feet. “Jacob?!” I still hear no sign of my husband.
It’s now eight-fifteen o’clock in the morning and I am frantically looking for my husband. I can not lose him too. The sky is growing darker as the minutes pass and the shaking is growing stronger; yet there is still no sign of him.

Since he was part demon, he reasoned that their miscarried baby would be in hell, and that it would be good for her to see him. Sage believed this, and desperately wanted to hold him. On top of that, it couldn’t hurt to support his coronation. Still, sometimes she worried that he had other intentions.
“Now jump in. 3..2…1…”
Before he could say ‘go’ Sage closed her eyes and threw herself forward. The ground had only seemed to be 10 feet from the entrance, but after about half a minute of quickly tumbling down she opened her eyes. She was
