They dropped Robbie off at his house, token firmly back in hand. They reminded him of the steps to take, and sent him on his way. June waved at them from the front door.

“Good kid,” Steven said, driving away. “He deserved to be tutored.”

“Robbie picked up the mirror very quickly,” Roy said. “He’s a natural. He’s got a lot of innate ability. There was something unusual about him, about his ability.”

“What?”

“Don’t know for sure,” Roy said, “I was too concerned about making sure he knew how to use the mirror. But when he activated it, part of what was coming from him was different. Different than you and I.”

“Different?” Steven asked. “How?”

“Hard to say,” Roy said. “It had a different tone. I don’t know what else to call it.”

“Maybe it has something to do with his markings,” Steven said.

“Well, you have the same markings,” Roy said, “and your tone is different than his. Yours, mine, Eliza’s, all the same. His is different. It comes from a different place.”

“Perhaps that’s what draws the demons to him,” Steven said.

“Maybe,” Roy said. “It has that kind of feel to it.”

“Demonic?” Steven asked.

“Yeah,” Roy said. “Not all of it, just a part of it. Dixon picked up on it too.”

“Interesting,” Steven said, wondering if part of his own “tone” was demonic as well. Roy said it wasn’t, but he did share the same markings as Robbie.

When Steven returned home it was beginning to get dark. There was a message for him on his answering machine, from Jason:

“Dad, listen, I know you don’t want to talk about this, but I need to. I had the same dream last night. And after I woke up, while I was still in bed, I closed my eyes and found myself floating. I saw you and Grandpa Roy, working together on something. I know you know what I’m talking about. So I thought I’d call you and try again to get you to talk to me about it. Call me.”

Steven sighed. He didn’t want to deal with Jason tonight. He felt neck deep in June Williamson’s problem, and it was coming to a head. I’ll call him tomorrow, Steven thought.
