"I was in love with her  then we separated when we left camp. I found her a few years later and I fell in love all over again. I was planning to propose the night she died...." ask said

"Why don't you tell me more about the night she died."

Zak began to breathe heavier and more tears fell "She got taken. I was running late after work and she got taken by those f&"* sticks. They killed my hannah.... they tortured her and they f#*$>,$ killed her."

Hannah hands him more tissues, "Whose 'they'? do you know who the people were that hurt her?"

"They..." he started say but then realized he couldn't tell her about demi gods. Could he? "They were someone who wanted to hurt people like her and me."

This peaked Hannah's interest more, "Like you and her how?"

"Everything I say here stays confidential right?" He asked looking at her

Hannah nods, "That's correct."

"Ok. So I don't know if you know much about Greek mythology. But the Greek gods often had children with mortals. Those children are called demi gods. Me and hannah are demi gosa. Well... she was."

"Uh hu." she says looking very skeptical as she writes down some notes, "So I think I see whats going on."

"What would that be?" He asked knowing she thought he was crazy

"You've created the idea that you both had powers because you think that maybe if you both did she would still be around. Its ok. This is a common form of compensation. The Greek gods were flawed sure, but they were also powerful because...They were never real. They were personifications of ideas so people could make sense of the world around them."

"I'm not crazy. I know what I am. I know who I am. That's where I met her  a camp for people like me... I can prove it." He said softly not wanting to use his powersbut he would to prove to her he wants insane

"Don't we all need some help?" Justin asked with a shrug.

"That's called a hangover darling." Mikaela said with a chuckle. "You had quite a lot to drink last night."

Hannah gives him a look, "Alright. If you think it will help."

Dawn gives a small smile then looks at little Hannah, "But what if he is right? What if Hannah really is back?"

Bridgett grans as she shoves her head back in the toilet. "What did do last night?"

"So I'm a son of Aphrodite. I have a power called charm speak. If your will is not strong I could get you to sign over your entire practice to me. I could get you to walk in front of a car. I could tell you to kill a man. And If I say it the right way.... you would do it." Zak said his eyes darkening a bit

Justin sighed. "Where would be the first place to look? How would we even find out? Would she even remember us. I don't exactly know how reincarnation works."

"Well you drank a lot. You also started spewing prophecies." Mikaela paused for a moment. "Oh and you started going on some crazy tangent about either Dawn, Justin or their kid dying. You were way out of it."

Hannah gives him a look, "That's called be persuasive. I think we need to make these meetings a regular thing. If you go to the front desk they will discuss costs, but I should see you here same time tomorrow."

Dawn sighs shaking her head, "Lets just hope for the best. Whatever it maybe."

Bridgett suddenly grew very quiet, "Right yeah. I guess that explains a lot." she says feeling both relived and a bit sad that she didn't believe her.

"Is taking away someone's complete and total free will being persuasive?" He muttered under his breath

"We should dive deeper into that tomorrow. But until then I want you to write a list about your family. One about your mother and one about your father. First the good qualities and then their flaws." She says making a note.

Zak frowned but nodded. He would convince her

Hannah then sends him to the front desk to discuss cost then sends him home. If he had been right about anything she thought, it was that he was indeed very persuasive.

Zak scheduled another appointment for next week and paid what he owed before going to a near by bar. He needed a drink

"You're upset." Mikaela said.

"What did Zak say on the phone?" Justin asked.
