Minx ran and ran until her legs could not carry her any longer, she also feared for her child’s wellbeing, running with such intensity would not do them much good as she did not have any food to eat. She rested against a giant oak tree, she was sure that she was far away from Gina and it would take Gina some time to find her.Minx was very hungry and tired but she was more concerned for her baby, with the little strength she had left, she trailed farther off into the woods to find fruits that she could eat.She was lucky to find a berry tree, she plucked some of it and ate, she kept eating lots and lots of them until she had her full. She went back to the oak tree to rest and soon fell asleep.After a while sleeping, she heard distant voices coming toward her direction, she wanted to wake up to see who it was but her eyes were too heavy but as the voices came closer, she jerked up as she recognized Gina’s.“She should not be far from here, the shuriken can sense her.” Gina said.“Wh
What do you mean?” Mrs. Jackson bolted.“The high priestess and her soldiers, they are going on their routine checks again. You know how much they have been bugging us because they think we have Minx. If they find her here, we would all be beheaded.” Mr. Jackson said.“Shit! I totally forgot that it is today.” Mrs Jackson said.“It was nice seeing you mom, and dad. I guess I will have to go now.” Minx said as she stood up to chant the spell.“No! I refuse to let you slip away again, let me handle this, okay.” Mrs. Jackson said as she proceeded to close up all the windows and doors in the house. Minx’s father just stood, looking at his wife. She probably was not thinking, he thought to himself.“You know, closing all the windows would do us no good, they would just use magic to fish her out. If you want to keep her, you need a better plan.” Mr. Jackson said.“Let me finish, Harold.” Mrs. Jackson said. Minx had never heard her mother call her father by his name before, it was always al
Uncle Oliver, it was a mistake. We did not mean for it to happen, turns out she just wanted to escape Regency and that’s why she had sex with me but the child was not part of the plan.” Gabriel explained. He was not proud of what he did but it had happened already so...“Hmmm…” Oliver cleared his throat before he began.“You thought you could keep it a secret forever? No, Gab, you are smarter than that. Nothing can be hidden under the sun forever. And now, I’m not trying to justify anybody’s actions but even if Gordon did not spill it like that, one way or the other, it would come out to the open.” Oliver said.“Gordon, that does not mean that you were right by doing that. You were the last person I expected that kind of recklessness from, you know how much of an issue that is and you just easily let it out if your mouth over some revenge game? I’m disappointed in you, Gordon. That’s very unlike you.” Oliver scolded.“I know I messed up and I’m sorry, okay. I got angry and could not h
“Well, I wanted to help. Roman does not deserve Darin or the time machine or anything at all. If he lays his hands on either of them, we would be done for.” West said.Wendy was still trying to grasp what he was talking about, it seemed deeper than he made it look. There was something that he was not saying and she was going to find out.“So why exactly did you call for this meeting?” Wendy said.“Uhm to find out who wanted Darin cured, I would like to warn him about how dangerous it would be if Roman finds out that he has Darin but there would be no need, Roman will not find out.” West said.“How are you so sure? I’d like to give my boy a heads up in case of anything, I can’t leave Roman’s actions to chance alone.” Wendy said.“Don’t worry, I’ll take care of this. And I’m sorry again for the linking, feel free to unlink me.” West said as he stood up to leave.“Wait. What did Roman do to deserve such betrayal from you?” Wendy asked. She thought it would provoke him enough to make him
Dahlia had woken up the day before, the fever went instantly and her body’s temperature reduced to normalcy. Darin was happy that nothing happened to her but he was getting tired of his mother’s incessant questionings.“Don’t you think we should call the police and file a missing person’s report? She is just a child, she may have run away from home and her parents are probably worried sick about her.” Peter’s mother said.“You don’t know that, mom. I’m just trying to be kind here, that’s what you taught me. When the girl is strong, I’ll send her away but for now, allow me to take care of her.” Peter said. They were having breakfast and they were having this conversation right in Dahlia’s presence. She just sat and ate her food, not minding what they were saying, her whole focus was on getting better so that she can leave.“Forgive my mother’s manners.” Peter said to Dahlia. She just nodded slightly, reluctant to raise her head to look at any of them. She seemed more interested in her
“What?! No you must be mistaken, I..I.. from my calculations, this should be the year 1910. I believe that when I was freed from limbo, I saw my Larinth and some other familiar things, you can’t tell me that a whole century and half was stolen away from me.” Darin said. He was aggravated. “You have to calm down, Darin. Forget all about what you have lost and focus on the present. I helped you fit a reason, don’t make me regret that.” Peter said. “Who are you to tell me what I should and should not do? I failed to go back to meet Yvette and I also failed to preserve her body constantly. It would be rotten now, Yvette would never forgive me now and I will never forgive myself either.” Darin said as tears rolled down his cheeks. Peter was convinced that Darin had no intentions of harming him, he seemed more focused on Yvette than any other thing at the moment. He took great pity on him as he cried bitterly, he saw firsthand just how much Darin loved Yvette. He was willing to rewind h
They arrived in Italy and headed straight to Elijah’s research facility. Elijah was not aware of their arrival. “Hello, Roman. To what do I owe this surprise visit.” Elijah said as he ran into them in the lobby.“Good day, Elijah.” West said and Roman smiled warmly which West considered as a response to his greetings.“Elijah! I’m pleased to see you, I know you are pleased to see me too.” Roman said with a wide grin, exposing his white set of teeth. He brought his hand for a handshake.“How may I help you?” Elijah said as he walked with them to his office.“Great office with a great view. You really are comfortable here, aren’t you?” Roman said, still smiling.“Of course, there are billions of dollars being pumped into tech yearly so, yes, I can afford my comfort.” Elijah said.West and Roman could sense the pride and arrogance in his tone. Roman was sure irritated by Elijah’s response because it was always his role to act that way but Elijah stole it from him.“Well, that’s a good t
West was disheartened on hearing this. Maybe there was something he could do to fix this, if he gets Darin, maybe he can get Roman to change his mind.“What if I told you that I can try to find a way to bring Darin back.” West said as they drove to the airport.“Do it and you get your daughter back.” Roman said reluctantly.West was overjoyed at hearing this but how would he make that happen?**“You are going back already? You never come back and now that you tried to, you’re leaving already.” Peter’s mother sulked.“Mom, you’re being extra and I feel bad already. I have to work to give you this kind of comfort. It’s one week already, I have to go.” Peter said.“Did I ask for this? Did I? All I want is to be with you. Your father was not always around when he was alive, now he’s gone. I thought you would stay with me but you’re leaving.” She added.“Mom, you’re getting old and cranky. I will try to visit more often and send you lots and lots of money too.” Peter said.“Do you think
