Collinwood – Balcony overlooking the Estate – Parallel Time
Brian was on the Balcony overlooking the estate of Collinwood, and thought of his family back in his Time Band. He remembered the times his parents would take him through the woods and point out the different trees that were changing color for Fall, and the birds that were heading in different directions before Winter would come.
As he was thinking of his family, his 'cousin' Barnabas came to see what Brian was doing. He smiled at his 'cousin' as he approached him. Barnabas was happy that he had his Josette back, but saw the look on Brian's face and spoke to him.
"What are you thinking of dear cousin? You look lost in thought." Barnabas wanted to know.
"I'm just thinking of the Fall season coming now. I remembered what my parents would take me through the woods and tell me about the changes that were happening to the trees and the animals. I miss them very much and my wife and children as well." Brian said with remorse in his voice.
"I can relate to that Brian. I remembered that before my parents were killed by Angelique, I was told that I was going to have a sibling. I oftened wondered if I would have had a little brother or sister. I know I would have been a very good big brother." Barnabas said with sadness in his voice.
"I know the Barnabas were I'm from had a little sister named Sarah. I wonder if you would have had a sister as well." Brian said to Barnabas.
"Sarah, I like the sound of that for a sister. I would have cherished her very much. If it hadn't been for that witch, I would have loved her with all my heart." Barnabas said with a sad smile on his face.
"I just wished that tomorrow wasn't a Full Moon. I hate the thought of being locked up again and having to go through that transformation again." Brian reminded Barnabas.
"I'm sure Dr. Hoffman will find a cure for you one day. Just give her time. Any news from Alondra?" Barnabas said while changing the subject.
"Yeah. She met someone named Jeff Clark since she dumped Ned Stuart. She told me that she's very happy now she met him." Brian said with a smile on his face.
"At least she won't be unhappy now, plus she found a place in the village so she can do what she want's without disturbing anyone here." Barnabas said while thinking of the peace and quiet that would come to Collinwood again except for the time of the Full Moon.
As they continued talking, Julia found them and was excited about something! She had a big smile on her face as she approached them.
"Brian, I think I may have found something important." She told him.
"What?" He asked.
"I think I may have found a…" She started to say to him.
