Chapter 3


Meanwhile, about twenty minutes from Jess' school. Mark was getting
ready to leave his work to go and pick up Jess. As he was walking out, his
best friend Shawn sang out to him. "Hey Mark." Mark stopped so that Shawn
could catch up to him. "Hey Shawn, what can I do for you?" Shawn slapped him
on the back, "I was wondering if you wanted to come to a club with me tonight?"
Mark thought about it for a moment. Shawn knew what today was and was trying
to get Mark's mind off of it. 'I guess it wouldn't hurt.' Mark thought. Mark turned
to Shawn, "Yeah, I guess that will be alright. Come and pick me up at 8:00pm."
Shawn nodded his head and left without another word. Mark got in to his car
and started it, and started the drive to Jess' school. It will take about fifteen
minutes to get there. 'It is going to be a long afternoon.'


Jess and Gary have been sitting for almost 20 minutes, Jess was getting
worried that something might of happened to him. She turned to Gary and asked,
worry coating her voice, "I hope that Mark is alright, he should have been here
by now." Gary was about to reassure her when he saw Mark's car coming towards
the school gate. "No need to worry here comes Mark now." Jess looked down
the road and sure enough, Mark was coming towards them in his car. Jess let out
a sigh of relief, and walked to where Mark stopped the car.


Mark got out of his car, truned at hearing his name. "Hey Mark, why did you take
so long I was getting worried about you?" He saw Jess and Gary walking towards him.
"I'm sorry. I was talking to Shawn before I left, he wanted to know if I wanted to go
clubbing with him tonight." Jess just nodded and hugged him when she reached him.
She looked up at Mark with her best puppy dog face and asked, "Mark can Gary come
with us to the Shrine, Pleeease." Mark groaned, 'How can I say no when she makes a
face like that.' "Yes, just no more puppy dog eyes." Jess smiled and hugged her brother
again. She turned to Gary, "I told you he wouldn't say no." Gary just raised an eyebrow and
shook his head in bemusement. Mark came up to Gary and whispered, "She gets me
everytime with that look." Gary just laughed, they all got in the car and left for Sunset Shrine.


It didn't take very long to get to the Shrine, Jess looked up at the stairs and took a big
calming breath. 'Okay, I can do this without tears. I have Gary and Mark here to give me
support if I do break down.' After her self pep talk the three of them went up the stairs to the
Shrine grounds. When they finally got up there they were almost out of breath. "Why are
there so many stairs?" Jess wheezed out, Mark and Gary just shrugged their shoulders.
After Jess caught her breath she looked at her surroundings, and what she saw astounded
her. A few feet away from her was a very big and old tree. Several yards from that was
a beautiful two story house. Straight across from the tree was a shack or shed. "So who
are you and what are you doing here?" All three of them jumped at the sound of the voice,
they turned around and saw a young brown haired boy around the age of 10 chuckling at
them. "Sorry for frightening you. My name is Sota and I live here." Jess stepped forward
and smiled at the young boy. "Hi, I'm Jess and this is my brother Mark and friend Gary. I
was wondering if we could speak to the resident Priest." Sota nodded his head, "Yeah,
that would be my Grandpa. I'll go and get him for you." Sota waved at them and ran off
to find his Grandfather.


Jess turned to Gary and Mark, "I'm going over by the tree. Do ye guys want to join me?"
They both shook their heads, Mark was the one to answer, "Gary and I are going over to that
shack to see what's in it." With that said, Gary and Mark went to the shack and Jess went over
to the tree. She sat in front of it and immedittaly noticed that it had a very calming effect on her.
Jess closed her eyes and relaxed in the peacefull atmosphere. A few minutes later she heard
a female voice calling out to her. When she opened her eyes she wasn't in front of the old tree
anymore, but in a clearing with a forest surrounding her. There was a hotspring a few yards from
where she was sitting. Jess was panicking a little bit, 'Where am I, and how did I get here?'
'You are in my dream realm and I brought you here.' Jess jumped up at the soft feminine voice
and turned around to see who talked to her. What she saw made her jaw drop, in front of her
was a 15 foot tall bird of legends a red Phoenix. The three tail feathers were engulfed in flames.
Surprisingly the ground didn't catch on fire, for the tips of the tails touched the ground. The
creature had an elegant shaped head and a sharp beak. The expression in her crimson
red eyes was amusement. Her wingspan would be 20 feet if they weren't folded onto
her back, her feather's were a dark red color that glowed with their own light. The creature
chuckled at Jess' expression. 'You should close your mouth, little one. It's not very lady
like.' Jess blushed at the comment then became puzzeled, "How can you be talking?
I never saw you open your mouth." 'I'm telepathic, I can speak through your mind.
I can also read your thoughts." "Oh." The creature just giggled some more. 'Allow
me to introduce myself. My name is Alpha, and I'm a Phoenix. I'm an ancient
animal spirit that shares your body and soul.' For a moment Jess was speechless
at what she just heard from Alpha. Then she asked, "How come you never
appared until now?" 'I had no need to. You see I have the ability to travel through
time, but I need outside magic as well in order to accomplish this.' Jess
was still puzzeled so she asked, "I still don't understand. That didn't answer my
question." Alpha sighed, 'I don't have much time to explain, I can feel your
brother and friend trying to get your attention. There's a prophecy about
Alaomeg.' Jess was about to interupt, but a sharp glance from Alpha Kept her
mouth shut. 'It is said that when a great evil comes Alaomeg will rise once
again. In other words you and Mark are part of the Prophecy. You are
not from this timeline. I brought you to the future when Naraku found
out about ye two, with the help of your real parents.' Jess took in all
the information then asked, "My real parents. Are they still alive in the past?"
Alpha gave Jess a sad look, 'No, Naraku killed them right before I took
you to this timeline. I'm very sorry.' Jess tilted her head down so that
she could hide her tears from Alpha. 'I found out that I was adopted, only
to know that my real parents are dead also. Am I not meant to be happy?'
Alpha could sense the sadness coming from the young girl and heard what
she thought. Slowly so as not to frighten Jess, Alpha walked over to her and
wrapped her right wing around Jess in order to give her comfort. Jess was
a little shocked at first but turned and cuddled into Alpha's chest in search
of comfort. After a few minutes Jess got her composer and asked, "Why
are you telling me this?" Alpha thought for a minute then replied, 'You
and Mark have to go back to the past, it is where you belong. I
can also sense that the Prophecy is starting to come to pass.'
Jess looked at Alpha a little bewidered, "Um, okay. But how do
we get to the past? You said that you need an outside magical
force in order for you to transport us to the past." Alpha nodded her head.
'Yes, the shrine that you are visiting has a magic well that acts as
a portal, but only if you have a Shard of the Shikon no Tama.
Fortunatly I can accomplish this without a shard of the jewel.'
Jess was going to ask about this jewel but decided aginst it instead
she asked, "Where is this magic well?" 'It is right across from the
tree that you are sitting in front of.' Jess got a shocked expression
on her face but decieded not to comment on it. Then she could feel
someone trying to get her attention. She looked over at Alpha with a
questioning look on her face. Alpha could sense her unasked question, so
she answered it, ' That is someone trying to get your attention. You should
go now. Oh, and one more thing. Jess looked up at Alpha to let her know
that she was listening. ' When you get into the past there are two people
that you shoul seek out. The first one is Lady Keade, she is a priestess
of the village that the well near in the past. She also helped your parents,
she can tell you about the Prophecy.' Jess nodded, "Okay, who is the other
person?" Alpha took a deep breath and continued, ' The second person I
want you to find is a friend of your fathers. His name is Lord Sesshomaru,
Taiyoukai of the west. He will help train you and Mark in your powers.' Jess
was a little speechless at first. But then asked, "Do you meand Taiyoukai as in Demon
Lord?" Alpha nodded her head, ' Don't worry to much about him, he is cold and hates
humans. But once you tell him what you are, he will train you and Mark.' Jess laughed
nervesly, then a thought occured to her, " Alpha you never told me what I am exactly."
Alpha sweatdropped, ' Sorry, you and Mark are spirit - summoners.' Jess just raised
her eyebrows in question, but Alpha didn't elaborate. ' Jess you have to go now, and
remember everything I've said. We will talk again when your in the past. Ja ne.'


Before Jess could say anything else, Alpha dissappered and the dream realm
was slowly dissappering and then everything went black for Jess. She felt someone
shaking her shoulder, when she opened her eyes she saw Mark looking down at her
with a worried expression on his face. "Jess are you alright?" She just nodded and
sat up and stretched. "Well, come on me and Gary want to show you what we found."
Then the two of them walked to the shack across from the old tree. Jess thought to
herself, ' I wonder if all that was real or just a weird dream.' This was the thought going
through her head while she stepped into the Shack with the well in it.
