I helped Leana to walk down to the basement, she had this baby carrier so I don’t need to carry Geanne. Especially I don’t know how to carry a child moreover, an infant.
She carefully remove Geanne and placed him on the bed. Then, she slowly lie down to bed.
I placed the blanket on them. I went to my bed with Dante and lie down and prepare to sleep.
Hours had passed and I can't sleep well, it's already twelve in the early morning.
Everybody was fast asleep and here I am wide awake.
Maybe I could jump and fast forward things to another time so I could save these people's lives.
I slowly got up without awakening them and went to the secret door near the bathroom. I get my pocket watch and diary from the bedside table, slowly I insert the key to the keyhole and I entered the door.
I walked back and forth inside and started thinking of what year we could jump, without turning the mortals to ashes.
Leana was around 24 and Geanne was possibly a week old.
Moments later three consecutive bombs were thrown and had exploded, I heard the baby cried. Leana was in panic and I could hear she's calling my name.
I am still here holding the pocket watch with my left hand, the diary clipped under my arm and the key in the keyhole; I closed my eyes and started chanting:
To thee I bestow my soul, salvage thou people and animal in here. I beseech thy salvation.
I bestow my baneful life to eternity.
Grant me your benediction.
At that an enormous light filled the room, I am once again be punished to live alone... For eternity.
I held the knob and turned it, my worried face covered my soul, "Leana! Hurry. Dante, come here.”
Leana took Geanne and alerted Dante, they all ran towards my place, towards salvation...
When everyone’s inside, I immediately took the key and shut the door, I held the knob tightly so it won’t be opened. The light that filled the room is blinding us. As it fills the room, I feel the pain in exchange of travelling through time and for my immortality.
I felt needles piercing my body, my skin felt like peeling. My mortal body was once again becoming immortalized. Tears filled my eyes , I'm crying because of the pain. The pain of being alone.
As the blinding light fades, so did the piercing activities in my body. We're still in the room, Leana was hugging an older version of her son and a grown Dante.
I fell down to my knees, though very weak I was able touch her shoulders and said, "Leana, we're safe."
Confusion was painted on her face. Her gaze roams around.
She looked at the boy she's hugging.
"Geanne?"
The boy lifts his face and looks at the woman who called him, "It's me, mom."
His stormy cerulean eyes looked at her, they hugged each other shortly and then turned to me.
"What happened? What did you do? How?" she asked without seizing.
"I will answer those questions of yours, but can we please have a meal first?" I weakly asked her.
As I stood up, the place suddenly swirled around, my sight became blurry and before I took another step, I felt my world turned upside down and blacked out followed after.
I woke up at the basement, on my bed. On my bedside table sat a tray with cooked meal, water and some oranges. My diary, pocket watch and the key was also on the table.
I sat up and ate the foods on the tray. I was munching the food, when Leana entered the basement.
Leana took a chair and placed it beside my bed. She sat on it and looked at me.
She has slight wrinkles on her face, "Where did you brought us, Sam?"
I swallowed the food and answered her, "We're saved. The war was over."
"What do you mean? I just blinked my eyes and suddenly my child was already ten and I am..."
She looked at her hands with loathe.
"...wrinkly and old.”
I placed the tray to the table, though I'm still weak I stood up.
"If you hate me that's alright, I just did what I think you needed. I want all of you to live life. I saw that you'll die on that year. I just turned the Threads of Death on me."
Confusion stirred up, "Threads of Death? I don't understand."
I turned my back on her, and went to a metal safe behind my bed. I turned to the locks to enter the security code, I blocked her view of the insides of the safe box.
When I turned to her, my hand held two gold bars.
"If you wanna know what will happen to you outside, take this and you're free. Thank you for staying by my side " I held my tears.
She was doubting if she'll take it. I took her hand and freely gave the bars to her.
"Take it to a bank, and exchange it for cash. You are saved, Leana."
Her tears flowed down her cheeks, she held my hand and hugged me tightly.
This was the first time I mingled with humans. She slowly unwrapped her arms around me.
Her face slowly moved closer to me, her eyes were closed and her lips touched my lips and it's my first time to experience such.
My eyes widened and it seemed time has stopped. My heart pounded so fast, I can feel my cheeks burning, I can still feel her soft lips that touched my lips...
Before I could move, she left me. It left me in awe.
It took me minutes for me to came back to reality.
I took the tray to the kitchen, Dante was happy to see me. He was looking for me then to the door. I thinks she's saying to me that they have left.
Hello solitarity...
Like what happened back then, Pietro knew about Gaille. He told me if I want answers I should meet him at Dawson’s pawnshop. There he held me as a prison like. But something’s change when we went to the mystical forest. Whitney’s not there, Natasha was not there instead, Pietro introduced Isabella to me. Isabella is my father’s lost sister, but she has something I never expect. She looks like Barbara. I froze. Where is Natasha? I wanted to asked him that question, but I dare not. I shut my mouth and observed. Whitney was left home and Natasha should be picking her up, but she’s nowhere to be found. I saw him grin and slowly hybrids show themselves. I started to move backwards and like what happened Pietro stopped me. Things went smoothly however, some were tampered. Whitney is not here, Natasha too. I just wonder what will happen next. A few minutes passed both of them appeared. I secretly smiled and I hugged Whitney and thanked Natasha. Everything went smoothly as planned.
I explained well the details to Talia, alone.Geanne looks like Gaille’s brother they looked like each other.I remembered how she looks, she’s really scary I wonder how Patrick reacts to that.I told her to explain things to Geanne, she nodded as a response. I lost interest to Gaille. She just reminded me of a sister.I bid them goodbye and went to my car.Someone is waiting in the car, he is leaning on the car door.He waved his hand while smiling.Things get creepier.“Hi, Sam. Wheels of fate changed, you’ve brought someone that change everything.”I know who he meant. I am still wary whenever he’s around.“The cab driver you met was a different Pietro whom he never knew his fate. Your enemies are different, be cautious. You have been warned, Sam
My hands were shaking as I looked back to the house.I took my keys and placed them in my pocket, I opened the door and started walking again back to the house. I knocked at the door and it opened quickly. Gaille peeked and smiled, she swung the door open and let me in.I saw Patrick kissed Talia on her forehead. He smiled at me and said , “See you again, Sam. Lunch’s over gotta get back to work.”He tapped my shoulder and went out.This is weird.Talia greeted me with a smile. I did not smile back, I intently looked at her grabbed her arm and took her where Gaille’s far and won’t hear us.I let her arm go and started to ask her questions. I almost whisper at her, “What is the meaning of this, Talia?”She gave me a confused look, “What do you mean? You’re scaring me.”Gaille went inside her roo
"He's gone. Gone to work." I heard a chuckle from this person.My jaw almost dropped when I saw the owner of the person.“H-how?” I mouthed. I’m still in awe.She closed the gap between us, with her index finger, she closed my mouth.She smiled. “What are you talking about? Come join us for lunch.”Gaille was happy seeing me too. She grabbed my hand and assisted me to the dining hall.“Mom, what’s our food?” she asked as she lets go of me.Talia is Gaille’s mother. She doesn’t even recall me. Is she? Leana and Geanne are her in – laws.I looked at her, she’s matured. Prettier than Barbara whom I met a few moments in the car dealer’s shop.Talia is sexier, her sex appeal is strong, I cannot take my eyes off her.I shook my head and take my eyes away from her.I think of a topic so we could escape this
Life of an immortal is both easy and hard. Easy because you have unlimited resources, you were born in a wealthy family; well almost every immortal is rich.Hard because you rarely see another immortal, you follow certain sets of rules which I have disobeyed since I met someone.You can’t even marry the one you love most – especially if it is a mortal. You cannot mingle with their lives. If they were born a mortal, let them live and die as a mortal. Infusing a pure immortal’s blood, loving an immortal and creating offspring with it are a few that prohibits us to do. Doing those makes a new set of life – the hybrids.Hybrids are half human and immortal. The priveleges of hybrids are they can travel through time, decades to centuries are their time travel perks. They cannot travel like immortals, who can travel even a minute ago, it costs them their life.Hybrids are abandoned after being born. The immortal parent will only leave them a certain amoun
“S-Sam...”I panicked seeing blood flowing out of her eyes. I held her shoulders, my hands were shaking.Her hands and face were covered by blood.“I am not this miserable, until you came...” She shut her eyes.When she opened them she glared at me, “It was a mistake meeting you!”What is happening? I have sacrificed almost everything I have to be with her.“I wished I’ve never left Talia!” she screamed.I never noticed that I fell on my knees, I was surprised and shocked by her words.It was like arrows that pierced me... The last thing I heard was the door closing.I was staring on the wooden floor of the house, tears started to drip on the floor.My fists rolled to a ball. I was very angry. I never felt this emotion before.&nb
