Chapter 57 The Holo DeckI had planned to spend the day with Abigail and Oliver. After my amazing birthday party, they wanted to know more about the Holo Deck. I had asked David if he'd prepare it for us. He was happy to be spending the day on adventures with us.Abigail and Oliver's eyes grew wide as we all stepped into the Holo Deck. "Whoa!" they exclaimed in unison, gazing around at the colorful console and the big, empty space.David smiled, kneeling down to their level. "Today, we're going on a treasure hunt! We'll sail the high seas, discover hidden riches, and meet swashbuckling pirates!"As he spoke, our clothing transformed to match the pirate adventure theme. Abigail and Oliver now wore miniature pirate vests and bandanas, while I sported a flowing white busty blouse with billowy sleeves and a red pirate skirt. David wore a white shirt with billowy sleeves, a captain's hat, black pants, and Pirate boots.The twins looked at each other, bouncing up and down. "Yay! Treasure!"
Chapter 58 Training AbiAs I lay in bed with Niklaus I told him about our day on the Holo Deck, he was laughing so hard "That's my Girl!" I slapped his arm smiling. "We need to take this seriously what if she gets mad at one of the kids at School?" I said."Guess they will learn quickly not to mess with her!" he was still laughing, I shook my head "You are incorrigible!" "I know love, It's just I'm so proud of her right now, and you're right she does need training, Bella's going to have her work cut out for her with this one!" he laughed again.I playfully rolled my eyes, smiling despite myself. "You're enjoying this way too much. But I have to admit, I'm proud of her too. She's got a no-nonsense approach, just like her father."Niklaus grinned, his eyes sparkling with amusement. "That she does. Niklaus's laughter slowly subsided, and he gazed at me with a more serious expression. "You're right, my love. We need to ensure Abigail learns to control her powers and understands the conseq
Chapter 59 They're BackThe alarm blared to life, sounding the dreaded warning: "Take down!" We knew exactly who was coming - 'The Order'. "Shields up!" I barked, as my team sprang into action, scrambling to their assigned positions. "Track them!" I ordered, my eyes fixed on the incoming threat. "Neptune, monitor and record their chatter!" I added, knowing that every bit of intel we could gather would be crucial in what was next. After they flew low over us a few times, they flew off, leaving us with a sense of temporary relief. I called a meeting and after everyone had arrived, my concern grew with each passing moment. We have to do something about 'The Order', we have to somehow take them down, frustration etched on my face. I have an Idea, I turned to David with a hint of hope. Can you get Atlantis to do a background check on all those in charge at 'The Order'? Starting from the main Boss, my eyes narrowed slightly."I'm on it," his fingers danced across his new laptop that was co
Chapter 60 The Interrogation and DreamDavid had teleported them both to different cells, separating them with cold calculation, ensuring they couldn't communicate or even catch a glimpse of each other. Neither had any idea that the other was also being held captive, their isolation was working. After four grueling days of relentless questioning and cruel withholding of food and sleep, their resolve began to crumble, and they finally started to talk, their words tumbling out in a desperate bid for relief.I watched them interrogate him outside of the one-way mirrored glass, and he looked utterly revolting, his sleazy grin implying he believed he had the right to commit such heinous acts. His lack of remorse was chilling. I whispered to Niklaus, "This one is as cold-hearted as they come," and Niklaus nodded in agreement, his expression grim. We moved down the hall, where Ice was being questioned, and found him more motivated by the food. Kie and Brent sat before him, savoring a delic
Chapter 61 A Walk on The BeachJust outside the door, Taianna was eavesdropping, her curiosity getting the better of her. "Did it work?" she asked, her eyes wide with excitement."Yep!" I replied, and she squealed with delight, quickly covering her mouth to stifle the sound.We walked into the living room, where everyone was waiting with bated breath. Taianna had already shared the news, and they were all eager to hear more. "His name is Finn!" I announced, beaming with joy, and they all cheered, their faces filled with happiness. "I don't know anything about their mating process, but we may soon have an island full of magical ancient Luminari's," I said, laughing at the thought. "Soon," I added, smiling. Dad laughed, his eyes shining with warmth. "I'm so happy for her, she's been alone for a very long time," he said, his voice filled with empathy. "I can't wait to meet him," Dad added, his face lit up with a huge grin, his enthusiasm infectious.They had spent the whole day together
Chapter 62 A Baby and A DigMatt and Bella sat watching a movie together when she felt a small kick, her eyes grew wide as she grabbed Matt's hand and placed it where the kick had been. Matt waited excited to feel something and then she kicked again. "She kicked!" he almost yelled. Bella smiled, Matt's eyes shone with wonder as he felt the tiny kick again, his face glowing with excitement. "She's amazing!" he whispered, his voice full of awe. Bella's smile grew wider, her eyes sparkling with happiness. "I know, right?" she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I can't believe we're going to be parents." Matt tightened his hold on her, pulling her close as they sat together on the sofa. "We're going to be great parents," he said, his voice filled with conviction. Bella beamed with pride. As Matt cradled her in his arms, Matt had been working out with the rest of the guys in the new GYM, David had created after his visit to the mainlands Mall. He was becoming very muscular and eve
Chapter 63 FearNiklaus woke up alone in his bed, feeling slightly curious. Raven must have gotten up earlier and was probably in her garden. He got dressed and went about his day, wondering what she was up to. "Are you okay, love?" Niklaus asked, his voice gentle with a hint of concern. It was almost dinner time and he hadn't heard from her at all, which was a bit unusual.Everyone gathered at the table, as they always did, for dinner, her seat was empty. A sense of unease settled in as a panic soon erupted when Niklaus stormed out the door. Kie, David, and Abatrose were close behind him. "Search the islands! David scanned for her! Kie help me!" he screamed, his voice laced with desperation. His Father had NEVER asked him for help in his entire life and he's never seen him in this much distress. He started moving at vampire speed, searching every place she could have been, but she wasn't there, his anxiety growing with each empty space.*Raven PLEASE answer me!!!* tears flowed down
Chapter 64 WarSam's face lit up with hope as he found her laptop under the broken bed, but it was locked with a password. *Niklaus, I found her laptop! What's her password?* Sam pleaded, his voice filled with urgency. Within seconds, Niklaus was by his side, his eyes filled with a mix of desperation and determination. "Never2Late!" he said, his voice firm, as he typed it in. The laptop opened, revealing a heartwarming family picture of them all smiling together. Sam's fingers flew across the keyboard as he went straight to her emails. "Same password?" he asked, looking up at Niklaus for confirmation. "Yes," Niklaus replied, his eyes fixed intently on the screen, his heart racing with anticipation.Then it opened to her last email, the sender's name making Niklaus's blood run cold: 'We Have them'. The message was brief, but its words cut deep: "You were a fool to do what you did, an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. You took ours and now we have yours!" It was signed with a si
