Celeste stared at her mother.“What happened in 1963?”Elena didn't answer.The mountain behind them was still smoking.Emergency lights flashed against the snow-covered road while medics moved between vehicles, carrying equipment and treating the survivors.But none of that mattered anymore.Not after those words.Eleanor wasn't the only Blackwood who survived 1963.Celeste stepped closer.“Mom.”Elena looked at her.“I should have told you.”“You should have told me a lot of things.”The words came out sharper than Celeste intended.Elena flinched.Celeste immediately regretted it.But she didn't take them back.“I spent my entire life believing my family was ordinary.”Elena's eyes filled with tears.“I know.”“I believed Dad was my father.”“He is.”Celeste frowned.“Then Gabriel said—”“Gabriel was trying to confuse you.”Maria's voice interrupted.“No.”Everyone turned.Maria was standing behind Elena.For the first time, she looked old.Not physically.Something deeper.Exhaust

The floor opened beneath them.Not with the violent crack of machinery breaking.With a slow, deliberate movement.Stone withdrew from stone.A circular platform descended from somewhere beneath the vault, carrying a single glass chamber upward.Everyone froze.Celeste instinctively moved closer to Lily.Lucien stepped in front of them.Eva's eyes narrowed.Maria whispered something under her breath.Elena stared at the chamber as though she had seen a ghost.Inside the glass was a woman.She looked old.Very old.But there was something unsettling about her face.The shape of her eyes.The line of her jaw.The dark hair, now streaked heavily with silver.The resemblance to Celeste was not exact.It was deeper than that.It was familial.Like looking at a photograph of a face from another century.The chamber stopped.A low mechanical hiss filled the vault.Then the glass opened.The woman stepped out.Bare feet touched the cold floor.She inhaled slowly.For the first time in decades

The laughter stopped.Silence swallowed the room.Celeste stood completely still.She knew that voice.Not consciously.Not enough to give it a name.But somewhere beneath years of buried memories, something inside her recognized it.A child's voice.A familiar voice.A voice that belonged to a place she had spent years trying to forget."Lily?"Lily shook her head."No."Celeste looked at her."You heard it too?"Lily's eyes remained fixed on the speakers."She isn't me."Amara slowly closed her eyes."She's right."Lucien turned toward her."Then who is she?"Amara didn't answer.The monitor flickered.CARRIER E-00 — CONNECTION ESTABLISHEDThen another line appeared.BIOMETRIC MATCH: 98.7%Celeste's stomach tightened."Match with whom?"The system answered.CELESTE JUSTINRELATIONSHIP: SOURCE-DERIVEDCeleste stared."Source-derived?"Maria moved toward the console."That's impossible.""Apparently not."Amara's voice was quiet.Maria turned toward her."You knew.""I knew there had

The helicopter blades grew louder.Through the narrow windows above the underground facility, flashes of white light moved across the ceiling.Searchlights.The authorities had arrived.For the first time since entering Blackwood Island, Celeste felt something unfamiliar.Relief.Then Arthur's voice came through Lucien's earpiece."Celeste, listen carefully. The island is surrounded. No one is getting off without being identified."Lucien glanced at Richard."He's not going anywhere."Richard was on his knees, surrounded by security personnel.Blood still stained his shirt from the gunshot, but he was conscious.Two officers pulled his arms behind his back and secured handcuffs.Richard didn't resist.He simply looked at Celeste."This isn't over."Celeste didn't answer.She was looking at Lucien.His shirt was soaked with blood around his shoulder."You're going to a hospital.""I'm fine.""You're bleeding through the bandage.""That doesn't mean—""Hospital."Lucien paused.Then gav

The evacuation continued through the eastern landing zone.One by one, the survivors were moved away from the underground complex.Celeste watched Lucien being treated beside the helicopter.His shoulder was bandaged properly now."You're staring," he said."You're injured.""I'm aware.""Then stop smiling.""I wasn't smiling.""You were."Lucien looked at the medic."Was I smiling?"The medic glanced between them."A little."Lucien nodded."See?"Celeste shook her head.Despite everything, she smiled.Then Amara walked toward them."Celeste."Her expression was different.Not frightened anymore.Resolved."I need to tell you something before we leave."Celeste followed her several steps away."What?"Amara looked toward the sea."I am your grandmother."Celeste stared at her."I know.""No."Amara turned toward her."You don't."Celeste frowned."Maria is my grandmother.""Your mother's mother.""Yes."Amara nodded."And I am your father's mother."Celeste went completely still.For
