"Mr. President, can you explain to the country why the sudden change to your re-election?"238Please respect copyright.PENANAJTIpyswDhm
"Times are changing, and with that, so must the campaign."
"Mr. President, what will happen to the future promises you've made to the country?"
"Unfortunately, I will have to leave that up to my successor. My team and I will try our best to make sure something is done about that. But as of right now, those plans are in full effect."238Please respect copyright.PENANAkDGQsb0zJ6
"Mr. President, what made you decide that it would be best for you to step down from running for a re-election?"
"Like I said earlier, times are changing. A new era is about to awaken and there's nothing we'll be able to do about it."238Please respect copyright.PENANA9k4c7Lxkbw
"Mr. President, what do you mean? What are you hiding from the people of this country?"
"What I mean is that the era of the supernatural is among us. I'm talking werewolves, vampires, ghosts and ghouls, anything you were told didn't exist, does. They live among us. They've been living among us. Your friends, your neighbors. My word of advice, keep your family safe. That's all. Thank you."

Her eyes turning an icy shade of blue as she takes a deep breath in. It takes about 2 minutes before she lets out an ice cold puff of mist and blinks the blue from her eyes. Her head falls forward into her hands before she responds, "darkness, Riley, all I see is darkness." Her hands start shaking before she passes out. I rush over to catch her before she hits the floor. The one flaw to her magic when overused; her inability to move for a few hours.
"I guess she was curious to see more than she should have," Lucas says as he rubs his forehead.
"What do we do, Luc?" I ask, scared out of my mind.
"I honestly don't know, Ri. I just don't know."
