Lily's sharp voice came from behind. George hurriedly wiped his tears and turned to see Lily and Lucas standing nearby. Lucas pouted. "Dad, my ice cream melted." "So what? Why do you always need to eat?" George suddenly snapped. "Look at how your sister behaves!" Lucas froze, then burst into tears. "I don't like her. She's annoying. I hope she never comes back. I even broke her bear." "Shut up!" George grabbed Lucas's collar. "Who taught you to talk like that? She is your sister."

“No, not yet.” “How long will it take?” “Well damn, I don’t know George.” I snarled. “I’m not psychic!” I respected the man, but he had to understand that I was putting my life on the line here, especially after he decided to include his immature, unstable daughter. “Time is ticking, Lucas,” George spoke, irritated. “We need to get Marvin before he gets away with his crime and my daughter.” See, that was the difference between George and me. He was after Marvin Castillo, while I was after Mario—the true villain. He manipulated my mom those around him, and at the end of the day, everyone in that house was just a pawn in his twisted games.

I can handle the session with their homeroom teacher and report back to you.” I stood behind Lucas and tried smoothing his dark hair with the tip of my fingers. “Do you want it this way?” I asked, brushing it to the right. “Or this way?”

“Why, to make sure you aren't ogling Lady Marjorie and risk having your head chopped off. I shall hate to see that, he sighed. Lucas said nothing but compress his lips into a tight line. Chuckling softly, George regarded his brother. “Why does your face always look bitter at the mare mention of Marjorie?” Lucas blinked and then frowned. “I know not what you speak of, " he carefully answered. Refusing to give his brother any information to feed on. “I see, George said bitterly. “Then perhaps you wouldn't mind if am courting her.” Emerald green eyes turned to George and narrowed before Lucas said, “Fine.

We didn't know what was going to happen with Pythia and the elders but the talk of another war put a little fire under me and I realized I needed to be in the best shape that I could possibly be in. **FLASHBACK ENDS** Leia POV I slowed my pace when I got a little closer and kept my senses on high alert, I didn't want anyone to get the upper hand on me but everything was completely silent. A little too silent, normally crickets and frogs can be heard loudly but there was literally nothing. Not even a breeze but a scent caught my nose. It was musky and manly which told me someone was hiding. I looked around and found a tree and stood behind it. I tilted my head higher and took a deep breath an

“I would have never done that with Carmen.” I laugh softly. “With Carmen I’d take her to clubs. Concerts. Things like that.” “But Tempest?” I smile. “I’d take her to a comic convention. A Star Trek movie. If William Shatner was signing books somewhere, I’d take her to meet him.” I chuckle again. “We even went to a Sky women’s basketball game this week just because George Lucas was there. We made sure we met him and got his autograph.” Dr. Tina smiles.

“You and Simon have spoken to him before, haven’t you?” For the briefest moment, something like amusement flickered across Lucas’s cold, unreadable face, but it was gone as quickly as it appeared. “Oh, I see. He didn’t tell you, did he?” Lucas’s voice was laced with mockery. “Tell me what?” Lucas shrugged, his expression indifferent. “It’s nothing. But I’m not surprised he didn’t mention it. George tried to manipulate the situation, thought he could outsmart us. But we found out about his plans to take you and the children away. He’s moved on, Ashley. He knows you belong here, and he’s accepted that.”

Kelly advised George. “In normal circumstances, I should have you locked up for treating my son like a criminal, but guess what? I won't be doing that. You should count yourself Lucky,” George told Lucas. It was Kelly who advised him to forget about everything and just move on. Else, he was prepared to go on a war with Lucas. Dexter rested his back against the car. Although he wanted to appreciate George for coming to his rescue, he was too ashamed to look at his Father In the eyes.

“Come on in, Selena.” “Thanks,” she said quietly, stepping inside. Our eyes met. “Hey, Sebastian.” “Hey, Mom.” Ten minutes later the doorbell rang again. Mr. George walked in without waiting for an invitation, carrying a six-pack of Coke like he owned the place. “You weren’t invited,” Lucas said, but there was a smile in his voice. “Exactly. That’s why I came,” Mr. George grunted. He set the sodas on the counter and looked around. “Figured the boy needed real drinks, not just fancy wine.”
