"The year is 2001."  Derek watched the young woman closely as she took this information in.
 
 
Julia took one step back, knocked into the wall and turned to fumble with the phone.... 2001??  She was a member of the Legacy... she had seen some weird out of this world -- but 2001???  She dropped the phone and backed up into another wall, eyes wide and that feeling in the pit of her stomach now exploding into a near cold panic.
 
"Nick... call Nick...." her gaze shot to Derek and she pressed herself against the wall trying to get a hold of herself even as the full impact of what Derek just said hit her.  The one person that had always been there for her; late night raids to the kitchen and more...   She started to sink to the floor just sitting there.  Where in the hell had she been for -- she looked up at Derek and shook her head "It's a mistake.... oh god Derek.... call him."
 
Her voice had grown into a low desperate whisper.  If anyone could help her Nick could.  She drew her knees up to her, wrapped her arms around then and lowered her forehead to her knees and started rocking.  Oh god, oh god oh god... what was going on??  She was pretty sure that no matter how much she was trying to keep even a thread of it together.. if Derek touched her she would lose it.
 
Three... four years......

*****In the other realm*****
 
"They did what?? Impossible!! Only one of their own realm could return, someone that hasn't crossed over!" the Succubus practically hissed as one of her messengers delivered the news.  She then looked at Shamus "Go find out who it is... but don't let yourself be seen. Go!"
