At Rozelle and George's place -" I thought we were taking 'days off'! We just got back home... Why are we packing our bags again? Where do you plan to go? "George asked as Rozelle scurried through the secret vault in their basement. She understood that it would be difficult to get her desired kind of a response from the Elder Watchers. She had Robert's coordinates jotted down. He was the only one who would understand what she meant. " You have the details of those kids... don't you? "Rozelle turned around at George who was still comfortably tuckedon his recliner. " Kids? Oh, you mean 'those kids'... yeah... yeah... of course I do... " He was taking his sweet time getting up but Rozelle literally got up on him and demanded he sat up. " Good. I need to know everything about their private lives and their families. Hand me the papers. "She extended her hand. George gave her a high five and sat up, putting on an innocent smile. " Papers? Who uses papers anymore? I have it in the s

***At some distance***" What? Is that Rozelle? Did I hear that right? "Robert turned around at Quill and asked him, amused and surprised at the same time. His brother had his hands and legs tied up as he lay in his back. Robert went around him in circles as they talked. It had been like that for days. That was how Robert forced-fed Quill to keep him alive. He was absolutely resilient. Robert had no choice but to act that way since his brother would not believe otherwise. In front of them was the body of Layla. Even though it had been days at a stretch, there was no decomposition or decay in it. But Quill was unable to see that in his madness. " How dare you do this to me Robert. I am your own flesh and blood. Was it not enough that you killed Layla for your stupid ego? You stoop so low as to disrespect the dead? Why would you not give her a proper burial? What do you want from me? You took her away from me forever. At least let me bid her a proper goodbye. "Quill had sobbed l

Robert and Rozelle were deep in conversation when the commotion outside caught their attention. Both of them ran out. Rozelle looked at her brother walking in with one hand around the shoulder of a Chemorian lad , instead of arresting them. " George! What are you doing? " Rozelle yelled. " What do you think? He is injured... knocked out... I am trying to help him. " George was too innocent to be Rozelle's brother from the same mother. " You should have helped yourself instead and arrested him while he was out. He is an alien, George. Gunshots will not kill him. " She walked up to him, probably to take the custody of Xen, herself. But something terrible happened in the next few moments. Both Rozelle and George suddenly froze in their tracks. Their eyes started turning black as their hair started to turn all white. " What's happening... "" What's going on? "Whispers and astonishment started filling the air. Mira was only half way down the ladder and she watched them, while d

"Sacrifice who? "Braze forgot all about his mother. His hands were around Robert's collar and he demanded an answer. " That girl they took... that Chemorian... She... She isn't a normal girl... we cannot let her die. Her death will usher in endless darkness. A Darkness that no one will be able to ward off. "Robert was shaking so much Braze had to let go of his collar and hold him instead. "Mira? Are you talking about Mira? I thought you were a Watcher... why do you look so concerned about her? "Kian came forward. " I think he knows something beyond what we know... look at his eyes... "Robert's whites were gone when he had had his vision but they were gradually returning. " Kian, we don't have any time to lose. Let's get that Heartstaff and find Guardian Yvonne. Every second we lose, puts Mira at risk... "" They are waiting for the right time... "Robert murmured. " What? " Braze turned around to look at him with irritation. " They are waiting for the stars to align... with

" Thank you mister. I cannot believe I had to go through all this just because I had agreed to this engagement. "Betty could not stop spewing as Robert helped each one of them up and out of their bondage. " Well Betty. I had given you the option. I told you that I had no control over how Kian felt. If he isn't going to go ahead with your relationship... I can do nothing about it. " Kian's grandfather looked absolutely fed up with her tactics. " He didn't even stop to check on me. He went away as if I didn't even exist... all because of that witch... serves her right... abducted and sacrificed.... that's how it should be... " Apparently, her sharp ears didn't miss any part of the story. She was rooting for the Dark Mages and was met with nothing but frowns. " Betty... just go home and rest. I do not have any more strength left for this. " Kian's grandfather caught Robert's arm and whispered. "Please tell me how I can help my grandson. I don't understand what is going on but I can
