Dear Jake,

I would love to say that I didn't blame you. That nothing that happened that night was your fault. Unfortunately, I can't do that.

I know that you never meant for me to get hurt. I know that you had no way to know that they would come after me to get to you. But I did, and they did, and as much as I try, I can't forget that.

That doesn't stop me from missing you. Once upon a time you were one of my best friends, and I still miss being able to show up at your door for a hug in the middle of the night. I miss going to the movies with you and Lucas. I miss pizza night and TV marathons. I miss laughing so hard we couldn't do anything but fall against each other.

I'm not angry. I'm not sure that I ever was. But every time I look at you, all I can do is feel sad. For the way our friendship fell apart. For the weight you've carried with you ever since that night. It breaks my heart every time, and yet I can't bring myself to fix it.

Lucas told me where you're going, and it terrifies me. I want to tell you not to, beg you to stay. But I know that I lost the right to ask you that a long time ago. I don't know what you're looking for - peace, redemption, or something else entirely - but I hope that you find it in one of those worlds. I hope that you'll be able to let go of the things that haunt you and keep you from sleeping. I hope that the demons that drive you to drink get lost somewhere along the way.

I don't trust Ynira. I'm afraid that she won't watch your back or that she'll choose whatever mission she's on over your safety. I'm scared to death that you'll never come back to us.

Be safe. Please. Even if we can never be the way we were, I need you to be okay. I need you to come back.

God be with you.
Sarah

Ynira -

Keep Jake safe. I want my partner back in one piece, or I'm coming after you. I don't give a damn about your mission, your mark, or your demons. You bring him back, and you bring him back safely.

Lucas -

Take care of Emily, okay? I know she doesn't really need much looking after, but I get nervous when somebody else is supposed to be watching her back. Just make sure that if something big and ugly comes for her, she won't be standing alone.

This isn't a suicide run. I'm coming home after. I promise.

- Jake

Father Lucas,

You don't know me, though I attend services at St. Matthias. I come because I am afraid that God will punish me for the things I see, even though I'd gladly give them up if I could.

I know about the detective going through the portals. I know why he is going. But the woman he's leaving with isn't who you think she is. It may look like Ynira, and sound like her, but the thing wearing her skin is something far different.

You may not believe me, and really, I've given you no reason to. But your friend is walking into a trap.

Lucas,

I don't have much time, and I don't even know if this messenger is trustworthy, but I have to try something. When we killed Buuskari, we were fools for thinking that we had defeated the thing responsible for causing chaos in your city. He may have been my mark, but he wasn't the culprit.

The one responsible is a powerful demon that has captured me. He taunts me day and night, telling me of the plans he has for you and Jake. He thinks that he weakens me with his words, throwing me into despair.

He is wrong.

With each drop of blood he spills from my body, he gives me more power. Blood magic is old and it is dangerous, but it is still one of the strongest forces in this world or any other. It is because of the blood he's spilled that I've been able to get a message out. I only pray that it wasn't a waste of my strength and that it finds its way to you quickly.

You and I may not be friends, but you and the detective have been good allies. The person you've been speaking to for the last week is not me. The woman that Jake intends to follow into the Otherlands is not me. It is the demon wearing my skin and my clothes, speaking with my voice.

All things that he stole from me.

His plan is simple - lure Jake here and then kill him, making it look as though I am the murderer. He intends for you to come charging through the Portal so that he can capture you as well. For some reason, he has a fixation on you.

Stop Jake. Kill the demon. Do not come after me. The only way we can defeat him is to keep him from getting what he wants.

Ynira

Emily -

Jake's been tricked and now he's in trouble. I'm going after him tonight. If you're coming, be at my apartment by eleven-thirty.

- Lucas

Captain -

I'm sorry for the late notice, but I need to take an emergency leave of absence. Someone in my family has been gravely injured, and I need to be there. I'll be back as soon as I can.

- Emily Canton

Dear Sarah,

Jake is walking into a trap, and I can't let him do it alone. I'm going after him tonight. Whatever happens, take care of yourself and keep an eye out. The city isn't safe anymore. Maybe it never was.

I'll do everything I can to bring him home.

-Lucas
