Chapter 1965

Author: Cozy Season
"Honey, you're scaring the kid," Debra said, turning to me. "Don't worry. This guy looks tough, but he's a softie."

"Softie?" Marion mumbled, but he didn't argue.

I whispered, "Mrs. Houston, you're so gorgeous. Why did you marry him?"

It was a question I'd always had.

Marion was handsome in his youth, but Debra was a knockout. She must've had suitors lining up.

She had told me stories of the past, but I'd struggled to process them. I'd even thought that Juan was a jerk.

But in this world, I realized Debra could've stayed single and still lived a bold, free life.

"What's that?" Marion snorted. "Can't infiltrate, so you're trying to drive a wedge?"

His eyes in the rearview mirror were sharp, making me shrink.

"Love doesn't follow logic," Debra replied. "You'll get it when you meet someone you can't resist."

She paused, then asked, "By the way, you got a boyfriend?"

I gave an awkward laugh. "I'm too young for that. Haven't dated yet."

"What's your type?"

"Hmm... Not too ugly,

    I went back to the guest room, still dazed.Solomon tapped my forehead. "What's up? What did your mom say to you?""She said she believes I'm her daughter," I replied.He blinked. "You sure you heard that right?""No mistake. I heard her clear as day.""But who would buy a story like that?""She said she's been through it, so she believes me."Only now did I see how cool Debra was, beyond just being my mother.Solomon and I stayed at the Potter Mansion all night, but there was no sign of us waking up.Randy never trusted our story, practically watching us round the clock. Solomon and I started to worry we'd be stuck there forever."Let's storm that bastard's hideout and take him down!" Randy slammed the table.Solomon and I jumped, startled."Sit down." Erica smacked the back of his head. "Use your brain. You think we can just charge in? It's too risky.""Then what? We gotta strike first.""That's enough. Don't argue," Debra chimed in.She had listened to Randy's fired-u

    A knock came at the door.Solomon and I sat up straight.The door opened, revealing Debra in simple jeans and a white blouse.Her long hair was tied high. She looked sharp and clean."You, come with me," she said, crooking a finger at me."Me?" I pointed at myself."Yeah, you."She turned and left.I glanced at Solomon, and he nodded.We both understood that she would not harm us.I followed her out, but instead of heading to her room, she picked an empty one nearby.I felt a twinge of nerves. "Why did you bring me here?""I checked. Arcane Academy has no record of you two." Her fingers tapped the table.I held my breath under the weight of her words.She stared at me. "Why did you lie?""We didn't. It's just...""Just what? You're from the future?"I froze, disbelief washing over me."Bingo," she smiled. "The moment I saw you, I felt a connection. Like you were my kid.""Mom...""Hold it. Stick with Mrs. Houston for now."She wasn't ready to be a college kid's mot

    They prepared to leave.Just then, some police cars rolled in, led by Pedro. He ordered his team to handle the ship's wreckage and scattered bodies.The sky darkened.Solomon and I had nowhere else to go, so we followed them.At first, we thought we'd slipped under the radar, hiding beneath the van. But once the van hit the road, we realized they knew.Randy floored it, speeding like a maniac.By the time we arrived, Solomon and I couldn't hold it together. We stumbled out, puking our guts out.Randy hopped out, grinning at our misery. "Couldn't hack it, huh? And you thought you could take us on? Come back in a decade."I retched, the world spinning. Solomon fared slightly better but still hurled.Debra stepped forward. "I let you go, and you chase us down? You really got a death wish?""Mom..." My head was fuzzy, blurring the line between dream and reality.The sight of her youthful face snapped me back. This was a dream, and these were adults in their prime.I had never s

    Marion stepped forward, pressing a gun to Solomon's jaw and forcing his head up."Where did you come from?" he demanded.The pressure was suffocating. Solomon couldn't breathe.This version of Marion was simply awe-inspiring.I jumped in. "We're not with the Illuminati. We're your fans."Marion glanced at me. His eyes carried a chilling, murderous intensity that made me shrink."High schoolers, huh? Their clothes are weird." Randy inspected our outfits.Erica, on the other hand, seemed intrigued. "Pretty trendy. How did I miss this brand's new line?"Solomon and I wore limited-edition fall gear from a well-known brand. She recognized it as she circled us."We're not high schoolers," I said. "We're in college.""Which one?""Arcane Academy."Randy glanced at Debra. "You've got some juniors here."She graduated from Arcane too, but beyond that, I didn't know much.She stepped closer. "Last chance. Why are you tailing us?""We..." Before I could finish, Solomon cut in. "We

    "What's that smell? It's awful." I covered my nose.The blood stench was overwhelming, like one from a slaughterhouse mixed with the briny sea."Something's wrong," Solomon muttered."Ma'am, they killed so many of our guys." The lead bodyguard's face was grim. "They followed us for years. The Illuminati are animals!"The west docks were littered with bodies, sprawled in every direction.Debra forced herself to stay calm. "Haven't the police shown up yet?""They're on their way," another bodyguard chimed in. "When I got here, our guys were already down. This is sheer provocation."Randy frowned. "Hold on. They made this big a mess just to pick a fight?""Something is wrong," Debra said, raising her hand. "Run!"The bodyguards quickly scattered. Their leader stepped in front of Debra and Erica.A massive explosion roared from the sea."Mom!" I shouted, trying to rush over."Are you nuts? That's a bomb." Solomon grabbed me, leading me to run.The blasts kept coming. It was li
