Claris, with Marva on her heels, walked back to where Mitzie sat. “So far you’ve done good in your cooperation. I will remove the foot restraints so that you can come and see the truth for yourself if you continue to be a good girl,” she chuckled. Mitzie sat silently, but pushed her legs out in front of her in silent agreement. Once Claris removed the shackles from Mitzie’s ankles, she gave a flick of her wrist, and Mitzie was in a standing position. “You see, I mean you no harm. I will remove the cuffs on your hands once you’ve seen the full truth. Only then will I be certain that you will not attempt to harm any of us.” Mitzie was confused at how Claris would think that by herself she could harm three grown able-bodied persons. Especially one who was apparently a witch. She kept her silence, however, and followed behind Claris towards the table with Marva behind her. Once they arrived at the table, Mitzie slightly leaned forward as her eyes widened in wonder. This was no ordinar

He chuckled and removed the remaining hand from her arm placing it on the small of her back and edged her in the direction of the chair. “She said Japheth doesn’t want me dead,” Mitzie whispered. “That’s a two-part scenario, my love, and I give you my word that I will explain everything to you once we’re out of here,” he replied smiling as she sat in the chair placing her hand across her stomach. The flutters had increased. “Here,” he started to say reaching in his back pocket and removing one of Mitzie’s favorite protein bars. “It took us four hours to find you, and I saw that your lunch was mostly uneaten at home. Please, eat,” he implored stretching the bar in her direction. Even in the middle of a chaotic venture, Alford was still wanting to make sure his wife and his son were nourished. Mitzie chuckled at this as she reached to take the bar. “Thank you. I had no idea how long I’d been here, and I have developed a bit of an appetite.” Alford leaned down and gave her a warm kis

“Mum,” Mitzie heard the child-like voice call to her. “Mum, I’d like to show you something,” she heard it again. Mitzie’s eyes shot open with a gasp as she hurriedly sat up. She was staring into the face of a beautiful boy who could not have been older than ten. His bright green eyes were smiling at her, and his mop of curly brown hair was softly blowing in a wind that Mitzie could not feel. “Wha…wha…” she stammered glancing at her surroundings. She wanted to be alarmed, but the comfort that this child’s presence emitted made her feel at peace. The child who looked like a green-eyed version of Alford let out a chuckle. “Mum, don’t be scared. I just want to show you something,” he said stretching a small hand in her direction. Mitzie immediately felt her stomach, which was amazingly flat. She stared at the small arm that was extended in her direction with her eyes wide as saucers, and her mouth opened in a silent gasp. “You…you’re…” she choked out. “Yes, mum. I’m Darius’ conscious m

Mitzie’s face softened as she rubbed her stomach with both hands. Alford glanced up at her and gave a small reassuring smile. She began walking forward, then abruptly stopped. “I have no idea where I am or how to get out of here.” Walking up beside her, he chuckled at her look of confusion. He removed one of her hands from her stomach, and laced his fingers with hers. “This way, my love.” He silently led her through multiple winding corridors before they reached an exit. Once they were outside, Mitzie squinched her eyes and placed her hand on her forehead to use as a visor against the sunlight. “Where are we?” she asked visually exploring the desert-looking landscape around them. “This is an abandoned and unmapped military bunker. The earthlings used this space for confidential strategizing.” He said moving them towards the Rolls Royce SUV parked not far from the door they’d exited. He opened the passenger door for her and placed his hand on the small of her back guiding her. “Whe

Mitzie squinted as her eyes slowly opened. Her head was rested against the back of the seat, and she groaned as she cautiously reached her hand to rub the back of her neck. She quickly assessed the environment feeling anxiety creep through her like torrid tendrils. They were surrounded by towering trees that amply obstructed the sunlight above them. Realization struck her that they had crashed through the guardrail on the highway, and although she was unable to tell where they were or how they’d landed, the vehicle didn’t appear to be damaged. She jolted forward with widened eyes as she shot her head in the direction of the driver’s seat. “Alford! Alford!” she shouted in fear as she hastily unfastened her seatbelt while reaching with her free hand to shake his shoulder. Alford’s head was leaned against the driver’s side window with his eyes closed, but he didn’t appear to be bleeding or injured, and his body slightly jostled as he gave out a small grunt in response to her nudging.

“The tire is changed, and we are on the move again,” Alford huffed as he got back into the SUV. Mitzie rapidly took in her surroundings. “How did you get us out of the tree?” she asked giving Alford a quizzical look. “What tree?” “The tree that we crash landed in.” “No, my love, we didn’t crash. I was able to steer us safely onto the road shoulder when the tire blew out.” “That’s not possible! We were just in a tree, and I was just having a conversation with our not-yet-born teenage son while you were unconscious!” she stated emphatically feeling anxiety beginning to rip through every fiber in her body. Alford lovingly gazed at her and attempted to reach for her hand, but Mitzie moved her hand out of his grasp and glared at him in defiance. “Claris managed to use her telepathy with Luceron and Seraphine, they’re on their way to the chamber to try and rescue her, they saw us and tried to shoot you with a tillium bullet that our son sensed and diverted to the tire. We crash landed

“There’s much to this story to tell, and I will not have time to tell you all of it before we reach our destination…” “Start at the beginning and you can tell me the rest once we’re out of the chambers.” Alford sighed and scrubbed his hand over his face. “Back in your great-great-great grandfather’s rule, there was no galactic peace. Each of the kings wanted full intergalactic control, and to be considered the supreme ruler. The galaxies fought amongst each other for that control, but none of them had the power nor forces to acquire the great feat. This battle went on for many millennia, and bled into your great-great-grandfather, King Dominic’s, rule. One night, he had a visit from the goddess Aliyah. No other king in history could ever brag about a visit from the greatest celestial being. He asked her for the power to conquer the other galaxies to become the supreme king. She refused to grant him that request, but did give him a promise. She told him that the only way supreme powe

“We’ll discuss what happened when we return to headquarters. Elshazar, notify the kingdom we are on DEFCON level 4, prepare for level 5 notice. Zara, notify the Shirin King that we could use all the help we can get since he is the closest galaxy,” he commanded the warriors as they rapidly walked behind Alford and Mitzie. “Yes, commandant,” they said in unison. “I am assumed that they took your communicators when they took the van. What they didn’t count on was us always having a backup.” Alford said as the emerged from the building and headed towards the trunk of his SUV. He removed four galactic transmitters and handed one to each of the warriors. “My wife has had a long day, and I’m taking her home. We will reconvene at sunrise,” he said closing the trunk and moving to open Mitzie’s door. “Yes, Commandant,” they said in unison just as an onyx black Bentley minivan sped into the space where they were standing and jolted to a stop in front of them. Mitzie quickly moved behind Alfo
