The Earth Moved

Chapter 81Arabella sat in front of the mirror and studied her face. She did not look any different than she had the day before. The loss of her magic did not change her outer appearance, but yes, she felt it keenly deep in side. Only her eyes showed how haunted she was without her ability to grab the shadows.A knock at her bedroom door brought her back to the present. “Ma’am, your breakfast is ready and Sir is already down at the dining room waiting for you.”“Thank you cook, I’ll be right down.” Arabella dressed quickly and desended the stairs toward the dining area. She could see Lucian standing with is back to her as he gazed out the open window. Lucian turned toward the door as Arabella swept in.Lucian studied Arabella’s face, trying to gage what mood she might be in that morning. He knew that if it were him who lost such a great ability, he would be bemoaning the fact often. That Arabella did not cry about it showed how strong her character was. Her face was drawn slightly as

Birth of an Island

Chapter 82They looked on as the volcano came to life. Rock spewed from the mouth and lava flowed down the sides of the active volcano. Trees were uprooted and homes devoured. Cook and sons were able to remove most of the animals on another raft. What they couldn’t save they set free to get away from the lava in their own way. Animals were smart, those would survive.Looking off at the other islands, Lucian noticed there were plumes there as well. At least three out of four islands went active at the same time. Lucian held Arabella tight to his chest as he witnessed the birth of new islands and volcanos. He worried that they might be in the path of one of those new islands that were birthing from underwater activities. Not wanting to scare Arabella, he said nothing, just watched.Arabella snuggled deeper into Lucian’s arms, exhaustion, mental and physical pulling her toward sleep. In Lucian’s arms, she felt safe; Arabella fell asleep. Lucian felt when Arabella’s body went slack. At fi

Aftermath

Chapter 83“Sybil, send for the Archs. Arabella has been off the grid and missing for two weeks now. I can’t find her light and that worries me.”Sybil popped out to do Mother’s bidding. She too was worried for Arabella. Sybil went to the cave often in the hopes that Arabella would be there. So far, no such luck. Maybe the Archs could locate her.The Arch-angels finally gathered in Mothers presence. They waited patiently for Mother’s instructions. The Arch’s were incredibility calm; Mother would not have called for them if it was not important.“Right, thank you all for coming so quickly. It is not a matter of life or death but still, it is something close to my heart. Arabella is missing.”Whispers and mummering could be heard among the Archs. They knew Arabella and loved her as one of their own. Gabriel was more invested than the others, he had been very close to Arabella for a short period of time. He didn’t forget his feelings for her. Adora was the love of his many lives.“I need

Lucas and Lauren

Chapter 84It took less than a week to get the island in order. During that time, Arabella and Lucian spent as much time as possible with Lucas and Lauren. The inhabitants of the island went back to their home islands to help their people clean up after the small tsunamis that traveled around the ocean from the volcano eruptions. The two couples had the island all to themselves with the promise to radio for help at any sign of trouble.“Mom, why didn’t you just grab dad and zap home?”Arabella looked sad for a moment before she plastered a false smile on her face. “I can’t do that anymore, Lucas. We don’t know why or what actually happened.”A popping noice caused the small group to turn around. “I bet Mother can figure it out, Arabella. I promised her to report back to her and this is definitely an anomaly that Mother would want to know about.”“Sybil! How did you find me? And which Mother are you talking about?”“It was easy to find you. All I had to do was follow Lucas and Lauren an

Love is in the Air

Chapter 85“I asked Lauren to marry me.” Lucas’s words bounced around Arabella’s head for a moment. It took all of her effort to try and act natural for Lucas sake. She smiled at her son and hugged him. Her baby had grown up without her realizing when it happened. Marriage though? She wanted to say he was too young, but she had been a lot younger when she fell in love with Lucian.“If you are sure that is what you want, then you know I will support you. We already love Lauren as our own.” It was all Arabella could say that was positive.Lucas didn’t notice the hesitation in Arabella’s words. He was too busy thinking about Lauren.“Have you told your father yet?” Arabella asked.“No mom, you are the first one to know. Lauren doesn’t have any relatives, just a few ‘brothers and sisters’ from the group homes she lived in. She hasn’t kept in touch with anyone or gotten close because she knew that without warning, she would be moved to a different home.”Arabella’s heart ached for the orpha

Selene Comes to the Island

Chapter 86Mother couldn’t understand how Ella could have made such a mess in so short of a time. It took a while to get the Realm back to it’s former glory, but Mother succeeded in doing so.The Arch’s were happy so Mother was also.“Hello Mother.” Sybil was happy that she could pop in again at will. Ella had stopped her from preforming even small tasks for the Realm.“Where have you been, Sybil? I sent for you ages ago.”“I’m sorry, Mother. I was with Arabella on the most beautiful island in the world.”“You were where? Why didn’t you tell me you found her? I have been worried sick since her light went out. Quickly, tell me how she is.”“Physically she seems okay; mentally? Not so great. Somehow, Ari had lost her ability to twist the shadows as well as anything else that has to do with this side of existence.” Sybil almost did a spin on the floor in front of Mother as she spoke.Mother was horrified. How was it even possible to lose something like that when they were a God’s given gi

Return the Magic

Chapter 87The day came when it was time to leave the island. Selene returned to the Realm to question Ella.“Gabriel, bring Ella to me.” Selene ordered the Arch angel, “I will get to the bottom of this one way or another.”Gabriel bowed, “As you wish, Mother.” He turned and left Selene’s presence. It wasn’t long before he returned with Ella.Selene looked Ella over as she walked toward her. The woman looked as though she had been through the wringer. Her hair was matted and wild on her head and her clothes were torn and soiled.“What fresh hell are you going to rain above my head now, Mother?” Ella spat the words out of her cracked, dry lips.‘I did not bring you here to torture you Ella,” Selene replied, “I want information from you. If you refuse, or try to lie, I will send you to hell so fast you won’t know what hit you. Do you understand me, Ella?”Ella looked at Selene smugly. “So, Mother, you found out about Arabella?” Ella started to laugh until she saw the look on Selene’s fac

Captive

Chapter 88Ella grinned to herself as she stood at the cave opening. ‘Selene should have seen it coming.’ Ella whispered to herself. ‘Really Selene, did you think I would not take the first chance I got to get away from the Realm?’Ella felt a warm, fragrant breeze caress her cheek. At last, she had Arabella. In doing this, she did not break the oath Mother forced her to take. Ella wasn’t harming Arabella; just detaining her really.“Why am I in the cave” Arabella said out loud. It was then that she realized she was not alone. Someone else stood by with a wicked grin on their face.“Well, well, well, if it isn’t Arabella Brennan in the flesh. Misus a pound of course.” Laughter echoed around the cave as Ella taunted Arabella.“Why am I here Ella?” Arabella demanded of Ella.“You see Arabella, your Mother made me take an oath to not harm you and I haven’t. There you stand, not a hair on your head have I hurt.”Arabella felt anger rise up but tried to repress it. She knew she would get n

Kidnaped

Chapter 89Selene and Lucian stood on the black lava that made up the beach. Neither one knew what to do. Arabella grabbed the shadows and was gone. It had been over an hour ago that she left.“Where is she Selene? Why hasn’t she come back?” Lucian was getting nervous. “She would have come right back; something has happened to her.”“Let’s wait a little longer, Lucian. If she isn’t back soon, I’ll go to the Realm and try to find her that way. I will send out all the free Arch-Angels to search. Don’t worry, we will find her.” Selene didn’t let on to Lucian that she was worried too. Where was Arabella?Arabella lay on the sleeping bag she kept at the cave. Ella had been gone for quite a while and Arabella wondered when she would be back; if she would be back. Everything happened so fast, and she knew that Selene and Lucian must be going out of their minds about now wondering where she was. At least Ella didn’t make her get lost in-between. That would have been a disaster for Arabella.“W

Time Running Out.

Chapter 90“I can’t get you out Ari. This whole place is a trap. Once you enter you cannot leave. Now we are both stuck here.”Arabella looked at Sybil in horror. If Sybil couldn’t get them out, then it was hopeless. There had to be a way, there just had to be.“Ari, there is only two ways out; one, Ella releases you and two, Lucian finds us.” Sybil continued her musings. “I don’t understand, Sybil. How can Lucian save us?”“He’s human, the trap is only for us from the Realm and you as a half-breed. Lucian is all human, is he not?” Sybil asked patiently. “Any human could walk in here and it would break the spell.”If they had to count on Lucian, they were in deep trouble. Lucian didn’t know where to look. She felt anger boil up inside. It grew stronger the more she thought of what Ella had done to her and now Sybil."The only human around is Jack and he would not think of coming here. Why should he?”Jack looked around the cabin to see if anything had been disturbed. Everything was as
