"it's an collection of my stuff from when I was younger..." Kay said, trying to hold her emotions in check. She first pulled out some old Polaroids of her and Sam when they were around 15 years old. Sam didn't look much different, still with the long brown hair, skinny jeans and fitted tshirt that she made just a bit shorter in length so it was somewhere between a cropped top and full length top and a cropped fitted denim jacket. Kay looked every but of a typical fifteen year old, hair was tied into a messy ponytail, straggly whispy bits of hair framing her face, two paintbrushes sticking out of her ponytail in an 'X' formation and dark eyeliner on her face.

Her clothing wasn't much different to what she wore nowadays, except this time it was baggy ripped at the knees jeans, converse and a fitted Nirvana tshirt that had paint splodges on it. Looking back at the photo, a smile appeared on her face as she remembered the day it was taken. Yet she didn't focus on the photos for too long as she noticed things in the box from her real childhood with her biological mother. A photo of herself no older than 7 years of age, smiling broadly as she's playing the piano with her mother,  legs swinging back and forth. Looking every bit of a mini version of her mother. "I... I never thought I'd see these again" she said, trying to hold it together more.

Handing John the photo, she found a small box inside the shoebox that she shakily lifted up and opened, finding a necklace inside of a circular pendant with a phoenix emblem on it, all hanging from a leather throng. A small note stuck to the inside of the box reading-

[i]'my little flamebird
When the time arises, 
you'll find your destiny, 
With these keys, our kind will be free'[/i]

Reading the note, she barely remembered ever seeing it before. "I... Don't recall this note being in here before.." she commented, showing John to see if he could work anything out from the clue left to her.

Sam leaned over and looked, "there never used to be a note in the box." she confirmed.
