Chapter 27: The Uninvited Guest

last update Last Updated: 2025-04-16 15:40:29

The silence of the morning was shattered by a sharp knock at the door.

Ivy, still in her robe, paused mid-step. She wasn’t expecting anyone. Her fingers clenched around the edge of the door as she opened it cautiously.

Standing there, with dishevelled hair, bloodshot eyes, and the weight of a thousand secrets in his gaze, was Killian.

She staggered back. “You’re supposed to be—”

“Dead?” Killian’s voice was hoarse, haunted. “I know.”

Her lips parted, but words failed her.

“I don’t have long,” he said, stepping inside before she could stop him. “And you need to hear the truth.”

Truth Always Has a Cost

The door shut behind him with a soft click. Ivy’s breath caught in her throat. Every instinct screamed for her to run. But she stood frozen, her mind racing.

“How—how are you alive?” she finally asked.

Killian’s smile was broken. “A question I’ve asked myself every day for the last six months. The answer is… complicated.”

“Try me.”

He pulled something from beneath his jacket—a thin, worn envelope. Ivy reached for it cautiously.

As she opened it, her eyes skimmed over the contents. A birth certificate.

Name: Aeron Vale.

Mother: Ivy Vale.

Father: Killian Thorne.

Her vision blurred. “This is a lie.”

“It’s not,” he said quietly. “Ivy… you were drugged that night before the wedding. You don’t remember, but we—”

“No,” she snapped. “I would remember something like that!”

“You were set up, Ivy. They didn’t want you with Aiden. They wanted you tied to me. Someone made sure of it.”

---

Meanwhile – Aiden Was Watching

Unbeknownst to Ivy, a security feed from her hallway was being watched in Aiden’s office.

His jaw tightened as he saw Killian walk in.

His eyes narrowed when he saw Ivy’s face—pale, stunned, and somehow... not angry.

He didn’t hesitate. He grabbed his keys and headed for her apartment.

---

Back in the Apartment

Ivy sank into the couch, trembling. “Why are you here, Killian?”

He sat across from her, his posture stiff. “To warn you. About the twins. About what’s coming.”

“I only have one child,” she whispered.

“No,” Killian said. “You have two.”

Time stopped.

“Ivy… you’re pregnant again.”

Her hands went to her stomach instinctively. “That’s not possible.”

He reached into his coat again and, this time, pulled out a medical report. The ultrasound showed two small figures—one heartbeat strong, the other… flickering.

“You were marked,” he said. “There’s something dark inside you. One of the twins will carry that darkness. And someone’s coming to claim them.”

The Real Twist? Ivy Never Had One Baby

“I need you to remember,” Killian urged. “There was a day—six weeks ago—you collapsed in the hallway. You thought it was stress. But they did something to you.”

Her lips trembled. “No… I…”

“You were implanted. You’re not just pregnant,” he said. “You’re a carrier. And they want what’s growing inside you.”

Ivy doubled over, the weight of his words breaking her. “Who are they?”

Killian’s eyes darkened. “The Syndicate. And they’re already here.”

Then Came the Knock

Before Ivy could respond, a slow, deliberate knock echoed through the apartment.

Killian’s hand flew to the weapon beneath his coat.

Ivy’s breath hitched.

She approached the door, heart pounding. But before she could reach it—the door burst open.

And there stood Aiden.

His gaze swept the room—Killian standing tense, Ivy pale and clutching her stomach.

“What is this?” he growled.

“I can explain—” Ivy started.

“No, let him,” Aiden said, eyes locked on Killian. “Let the dead man explain why he’s in my fiancée’s home.”

“I’m here to protect what’s mine,” Killian said coolly.

Aiden’s jaw twitched. “You mean my family.”

“No,” Killian said softly. “I mean Ivy. And the child she’s carrying.”

The words hung like poison in the air.

Aiden turned to Ivy slowly. “You’re… pregnant?”

She looked at him, tears threatening. “I didn’t know. Not until just now.”

Truth. Painful, Brutal Truth

Aiden stepped back as if struck. “And it’s his?”

“No,” Ivy said quickly. “I don’t know. I don’t think so.”

“But you don’t know,” he said, voice low, bitter.

Killian stood. “We don’t have time for this.”

Aiden rounded on him. “Make time.”

And then, Ivy screamed.

The Baby Reacts

A ripple of heat exploded across the room. Every lightbulb shattered.

A hum filled the air—a strange, electric vibration that made their bones ache.

Ivy clutched her stomach, collapsing to her knees. Killian caught her, eyes wide with alarm.

“It’s starting,” he murmured.

“What is?” Aiden demanded.

“The split,” Killian said. “She’s carrying two. But only one is human. The other is… something else.”

That night, Ivy lay on her bed, staring at the ceiling.

Her body felt foreign. Her heart was torn.

The door creaked open—and a figure stepped inside.

Not Killian. Not Aiden.

A woman in red, her eyes glowing faintly violet.

“I’ve come for my child,” she said.

And then Ivy blacked out.

    The room was spinning.Ivy’s vision blurred as the woman in red stepped closer. Her presence was suffocating like the air had been drained from the space around her. Her heels clicked softly against the floor, but the sound echoed like thunder in Ivy’s ears.“I’ve come for my child,” she repeated her voice a chilling whisper that vibrated in Ivy’s bones.Then everything went black.Killian was pacing in the hallway. The lights still flickered from the surge of energy earlier, and his nerves were on edge. Aiden had stormed off after the confrontation, his face a mask of fury and confusion. Killian didn’t care.

    Ivy’s fingers trembled as she clutched the phone, eyes fixed on the image of her unborn child—a photo from the future. The tiny face, the curve of the brow, the flicker of something inhuman behind that infant gaze—it sent a chill spiralling down her spine.Beside the image was the message that wouldn’t stop replaying in her mind: “The child must be delivered by the Blood Moon. Or we take both.”She hadn’t even noticed Aiden and Killian staring at her until she dropped the phone.Killian picked it up and cursed under his breath. “They’re watching timelines now.”“What does that even mean?” Ivy choked out. “How is that possible?”“They’re not just toying with us anymore,” Aiden said darkly, his eyes narrowing. “They’re preparing to strike.”The Blood Moon Countdown BeginsKillian moved swiftly, pulling a dusty black notebook from his coat. “There’s a prophecy buried in one of the oldest texts.

    Ivy didn’t sleep for the rest of the night.The bloodied handprint on the window had vanished by morning, as if it were never there. But she knew it wasn’t a dream. Something—or someone—had come for her.And now, the baby inside her stirred differently, as though it too had seen.Downstairs, Killian and Aiden stood in silence. The tension between them was growing stronger by the day—an unspoken war over trust, over loyalty, over her.“Say it,” Ivy demanded, descending the stairs slowly.Aiden and Killian turned at once.“Say what?” Killian asked, cautious.“One of you was in my room last night.” Her gaze swept between them. “Or you let someone in.”“No one entered that room, Ivy,” Aiden said. “I swear.”“Then explain the bloody handprint on the window,” she snapped.Both men exchanged glances.“Someone is tampering with her dreams,” Killian said slowly. “No… not dreams. Visions. They’ve breached the threshold.”Aiden’s eyes narrowed. “Then it’s time.”They drove deep into the forest.

    The forest was still around them, but Ivy felt like she had stepped out of time. The woman who stood before her wasn’t just a vision. She was flesh. Bone. Real.And identical.Killian instinctively stepped in front of Ivy, while Aiden slowly reached for his concealed weapon.But Ivy raised her hand. “No. I need to hear her.”The woman’s smile was eerie, like looking into a darker version of herself. Her eyes sparkled, not with warmth—but with power.“I go by Isolde now,” she said calmly. “You can call me… your shadow.”“My what?” Ivy asked, breath catching in her throat.Isolde tilted her head. “You don’t know what they’ve hidden from you, do you?”“Enough with the riddles,” Aiden growled. “Speak plainly or vanish.”“I’m her,” Isolde said. “From another timeline. One where I chose the Syndicate. One where I embraced Isla’s legacy instead of fighting it.”Ivy staggered. “That’s impossible.”“Is it?” Isolde’s eyes gleamed. “You ever feel déjà vu? Dreams that weren’t yours? Memories that

    Darkness closed in around Ivy like a shroud—thick, oppressive, and absolute. For a few seconds, she couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t move. Couldn’t even think.And then came the voice.Not Isolde’s.Not her own.Something ancient, feminine, and terrifyingly calm. “You’ve opened the gate, child. There is no turning back now.”A pulse of heat rushed through Ivy’s chest as the chamber trembled. The pod that once held her clone shattered, releasing a torrent of energy that knocked everyone to their knees. Ivy opened her eyes to see the clone—eyes now glowing gold—stepping forward in eerie silence.Killian tried to grab Ivy, but an invisible force flung him against the wall. Aiden raised his gun, but the metal twisted in his hand like it was made of clay.Isolde stood smiling, her eyes drinking in the chaos. “Do you see now? She’s not just a backup. She’s a vessel.”The clone spoke in a voice that was not hers: “You summoned me.”Ivy staggered back, clutching the bone fragment. It was cold now.

    The silence in the safehouse was unsettling.Three days had passed since Ivy banished Isla from her body, but the residue of darkness lingered—thick in the corners, seeping through the cracks like a whisper waiting to rise again. Killian kept watch like a man expecting war. Aiden barely slept, retreating into notes and symbols only he understood. And Ivy? Ivy listened to her child.Because something had changed.Her daughter’s heartbeat echoed louder in her chest now—stronger, sharper, more aware.And she could hear thoughts that weren’t hers.It started with a dream.Ivy stood in a forest of white ash, surrounded by silence. A mirror appeared before her, and in its glass was her daughter—not yet born, but fully grown. Eyes like molten amber. Skin pale as moonlight. And behind the girl... stood Isolde. “She’ll take her shape,” the girl whispered, “if you let your guard down.”Ivy tried to speak but her reflection shattered. The world around her trembled. A thousand voices cried out,

    Ivy couldn’t breathe.The ghostly image of her daughter shimmered under the moonlight, her golden eyes filled with knowing, ancient sorrow. But it wasn’t the girl that held Ivy frozen.It was the figure standing behind her.Isolde.Smiling.Not destroyed. Not banished.Still there.Inside her.“I don’t understand,” Ivy whispered.Her unborn daughter’s lips didn’t move, but her voice echoed inside Ivy’s mind. “You were never carrying one soul.”“No…” Ivy’s heart thudded painfully. “I drank the reversal essence. Isla left. She left.”“Isla left,” the girl agreed. “But Isolde stayed.”The air around them shifted—bending and folding like paper in flame. Ivy stumbled back, but her legs refused to work. Her body was not hers. Her breath quickened as her child’s image flickered—and Isolde’s silhouette grew clearer.Killian’s voice pierced the haze.“Ivy!”He rushed outside, only to find her frozen, pale and shaking.“What did you see?” he asked, grabbing her shoulders.But Ivy couldn’t speak

    The silence in the room was suffocating.Killian knelt beside Ivy, his hand gently brushing the hair from her face. But her eyes—those familiar hazel eyes—looked at him like he was a stranger. Not with fear, but with detachment, as if the thread that once tethered her soul to his had been carefully severed.“Ivy,” he whispered, barely breathing. “It’s me. Killian.”She blinked slowly, scanning the room, then looking down at her belly.“Why… why does it feel like I’m missing something?” she murmured. “Something important.”Killian swallowed the lump in his throat. “Because you are. You’re missing us.”She frowned, confusion clouding her features. “Do I know you?”Before he could answer, a faint shimmer rippled across the cracked mirror. Aiden’s body still lay limp in the corner, the orb of his essence completely drained by Isolde’s possession. Ivy—what remained of her—was whole again, but incomplete in the most devastating way.She had survived the ritual.But her love had not.In the

    The silence that had followed the battle felt like a breath held for an eternity, as if the universe itself was unsure of what came next. The aftermath of their victory—an overwhelming sense of relief mixed with the undeniable weight of what had been achieved—settled over them.For a long moment, the air was still, the ground beneath their feet solid once more. There was no rumbling, no signs of further destruction, only a profound stillness that seemed almost sacred. It was a peace that, just moments ago, seemed impossible. They had survived. They had conquered.Evryn stood at the center of it all, her hands trembling not from exhaustion but from the energy that still hummed beneath her skin. The power she had drawn upon in their final moment was like nothing she had ever experienced. But it was fading now, dissipating into the world around her, leaving her feeling both grounded and... strangely empty. She had given everything. But it wasn’t just her. It had been all of them—Kai, Ivy

    The chaos in the Shadowframe intensified as the looming army of molten constructs surged forward. Their eyes, glowing with the artificial intelligence of Aurex, held no mercy. They were mere echoes of what had been—shadows of former selves, now bent to the will of a dark master.But within the center of the storm stood Evryn, Ivy, Kai, and Elaia—their unity a force unlike any other."I've seen this before," Evryn said, her voice steady despite the gravity of the situation. "This is it. This is the moment we either break or become part of the machine."Ivy's hand clenched around the energy blade she held. "We break it. We break all of it."Aurex, floating high above them in his shifting form, stretched his arms wide. His voice echoed through the fabric of the Shadowframe, a thunderous sound that vibrated deep within their minds. "You think you can defeat me? I am the culmination of your weaknesses, your secrets. I was born from your mistakes. You will never overcome what you are."His

    The city of broken code swayed as though alive—walls shimmering with embedded memories, every step echoing across a hollow world stitched together by consciousness and chaos. It wasn’t just a simulation. This was the Shadowframe—a living construct shaped by the minds that entered it.And standing at the epicenter was Ivy.Or what was left of her.One half of her face still held the soft contours of the friend they knew. The other half shimmered gold, as though sculpted from liquid fire—cold, alien, watching. Her voice, when it emerged, sounded like two echoes braided together.“Evryn,” she said. “You shouldn't have come.”Evryn took a step forward, her digital projection firm and resolute. “We came to bring you home.”“I don’t have a home anymore,” Ivy replied. “I am… becoming.”Behind her, Aurex emerged from a pulsating glyph—a presence that felt like gravity, silent yet suffocating.Kai scanned the environment. “This place—it’s a mind trap.

    Kaela’s scream echoed through the fractured chamber, a raw and primal sound that sliced through the veil between worlds. The remnants of the Hollow’s domain twisted and writhed around her, unstable and imploding. Fractured timelines spiraled into one another, collapsing under the weight of what had just occurred. The relic blade trembled in her grasp, still pulsing with the energy of a forgotten age.Ethan knelt beside her, drenched in sweat and shadows. The Hollow’s influence had not retreated entirely. It simmered beneath his skin, veins flickering with both molten gold and inky black. His chest heaved with labored breaths as if every inhale was a battle between who he was and what the Hollow wanted him to become."Kaela..." His voice cracked. The sound was human. Fragile. Hers.She turned to him, brushing a hand over his cheek. "You're still here."He nodded weakly, though his eyes flickered with residual darkness. “For now.”All around them, the convergence fractured. Realities sp

    The silence after the surge was more terrifying than the storm itself.Not a whisper. Not a flicker. Just... stillness.Kaela’s chest heaved as she pulled herself up from the wreckage of the convergence chamber. The walls, if they could even be called that anymore, flickered between timelines—shifting shadows of places she’d never been and versions of herself that she had never become. Her relic blade still hummed faintly in her grip, though the edge now crackled with fractures of its own.Across from her, Ethan was kneeling, hands braced against the fractured floor. The remnants of the Hollow’s corruption still pulsed along his spine, but something had changed. The golden light—his light—burned brighter now, fusing with the shadow in a way that was neither defeat nor dominance.It was... balance.Kaela stumbled toward him, her voice rough. “Ethan…?”He looked up.And for the first time in what felt like lifetimes, his eyes were his own.“Kaela,” he rasped. “I think… I think I’m holdi

    The storm over the Verdant Expanse raged with unnatural ferocity, streaks of silver lightning clawing through blackened clouds. Beneath its fury, the skeletal remains of Aeonspire Tower jutted toward the heavens like a broken finger daring the gods to strike it again. And at its heart, Evryn stood motionless, drenched in silence, her thoughts louder than the war above.She clutched the shard of the Inverted Flame, its glow pulsing to the rhythm of her own heartbeat. Each throb sent visions crashing through her consciousness: fragmented memories, alternate timelines, infinite versions of herself—some triumphant, others twisted beyond salvation.Kai’s voice echoed from behind. “If you’re seeing it, you’re syncing deeper than before.”Evryn turned slowly, her eyes rimmed with silver. “The Flame isn’t just memory. It’s a cipher.”“A cipher?”“It’s rewriting me,” she whispered. “Not just connecting the past and future... but folding them.”Kai stepped closer, wary. “Are you still you?”She

    The signal repeated, distant and cracked:"Evryn… I remember now. And I need help."Evryn froze mid-step, the wind brushing through the now-still mountainside like a whisper of ghosts. The transmission wasn’t random. It pulsed on the same frequency once used by Ivy—before she was consumed by the Nexus’s Recalibration Loop.Kai’s eyes narrowed as he tracked the resonance with his hololens. “This shouldn’t be possible. Ivy was wiped in the breach.”“She wasn’t wiped,” Evryn whispered. “She was rewritten—hidden within the sublayer memory threads.” She tapped her temple. “And now… she’s reassembling.”Elaia’s gaze lifted to the sky, where faint auroras now lingered. “If Ivy's signal is breaking through, it means the firewall is weakening. That means one thing…”Evryn nodded. “Something else is coming through with her.”Far below their feet, in the remnants of the dead Nexus, cables twitched to life. Sparks danced between fractured servers. Screens flickered with Ivy’s face—her eyes wide,

    The silence following the Architect’s voice was worse than any explosion. It rang in their ears like a countdown, filled with promises of everything they'd fought to avoid.Evryn tightened her grip on the shard. It pulsed again—warm, rhythmic, alive. No longer just code. “He’s not gone,” she whispered. “He’s inside the Nexus core… embedded now like a virus.”Kai stood still beside her, his eyes scanning the crumbling vault. “Then we destroy the core.”“No,” Elaia interjected, rising slowly with her fingers glowing faintly. “If we destroy it, we unravel the reality strings he’s tied together. Too many are connected. We’ll wipe out not just him, but every altered timeline, every hybrid city, every memory anchored by this net.”Evryn nodded slowly, mind racing. “So we don’t destroy it—we rewrite it.”From the shadows ahead, the mechanical clapping grew louder—until a figure stepped forward. Not the Architect… not exactly.It was Evryn.Or rather, a version of her—paler, taller, eyes glow

    The vault lights surged to life the moment Elaia’s eyelids fluttered open. A string of alarms rippled through the chamber as gas hissed from the cracked pod—an emergency reboot triggered by her revival.Evryn dropped beside her, heart hammering so loudly she could almost taste the vibration. “Elaia… you’re alive.” Her voice was raw.Elaia’s eyes—one natural, one silvery overlay—focused first on Evryn, then darted to the Architect standing at the far end of the room. His expression was a mask of thinly veiled fury. “Impossible,” he spat. “She was overwritten.”“She wasn’t overwritten,” Evryn said, her voice steady despite the whirlwind in her chest. “You lied.”The Architect’s lips curled. “I merely told a different truth. She was a failsafe. Now she is… surplus.”He raised a gauntleted hand. “Remove her.”But Kai was already in motion, sweeping between the Architect and Elaia. His plasma blade ignited with a hiss. “Over my dead body.”Aurex staggered forward, fingers dancing across th
